its center of gravity must al

shift this center of infection of
the abdomen and legs, but the
diptera cannot do this; they
therefore, require the balancer

thus, shift the axis of susten-

the same results, only in a diff

Experiments have shown
that by adding weights to the
bodies of insects deprived of
their balancers, they have been
able to shift their centre of
gravity and thus restore their
power of steady flight.

Typhoid Vaccine

State Board of Health has
Large Supply Ready for
Distribution at Cost.

Richmond, Va, june 2s.-In

Health has had all its employ.
ees vaccinated for typoid and
has on hand large supply of
the vaccine for distribution at
cost to persons who wish to Sc
cure immunity from this di-
sease.
The Board has led to vacci
nate its inspectors and other
employees in view of the fact
that they are forced to go into
sections of the State where ty-
phoid fever is prevalent and
are thus inevitably exposed to
the danger of infection. The
BIO ard unqualifiedly recon-
mends the vaccine, especially
for those who travel or live in
communities where typhoid has
occurred this year.
Typhoid vaccine" says the
circular of the BOARD, "has
shown it's right to be regarded
as a great preventive OF disease.

ton 1T will give absolute pro-
lection for one yoar after injec.
ton.
"The popular belief that ty-
phoId vaccine is still in its ex-
perimental stage ia not lusti-
fled. In the United States army
moro than $4,000 mon have
been yaccinated and the ty-
phoid rate has dropped from
1903 per thousand to OBJ per
thousand More than VI 900
British soldiers have been i'm.
nunized III India and the ty-
phoid rate has been reduced as
per cent. Last year when there
was danger of n general out
break of typoid in Memphis,
Tenn, 10000 were given the
vaccine and the city was saved
from serious loss OF life. More
striking still has been the ex-
perience of Baltimore, especial
ly in it's hospital population.
Three hundred and nine nurses
and attendants who were vac.
cinated escaped the fever alto
gether, while of - nurses and
attendants not vaccinnted, Z
contracted the fever in spite of
all precautions.
"There il practically no in
convenience about the vaccina
ton, though the reaction var
les considerably with the indi-
vidual. Many persons Will
have no other discomfort than
a sore arm for day or two
and in the worst reactions, the
yaccinated person is generally
not sick for more than n day.
Three treatments are neces.
sary for complete immunity,
the second to be given ten days
after the first and the third ten
days later. Immunity becomes
partial about n week after the
first vaccination and soon be-.
comes complete. This immu-
nifty continues for one year and
means that the person will not
contract typhoid fever even if
exposed to it,"
The vaccine,the Board states,
should be administered by IA

More Popular Business Houses ean sA e's AND
e. r. PARKS.

The stability of city is dependent
upon the stability OF its business en-
terprises, and the progress Of city is
dependent upon the progressiveness of
its business men. Contributing to the
former, there is no business insttu-
tion In Bryan that takes rank and pre-
cedent above the furniture and buggy
business Of e. F. Parks; and to the
latter, no individual Is contributing
more than its wide-awake and intense
ly earnest proprietor. He is bending
every energy to make his business of
the greatest possible service to the
people, and himself to the advance
ment of every interest of the city.
This business was founded many
years ago by Capt. John @. Tabor
and Mr.. s. NJ. Derden, two prominent
and pioneer citizens. When founded,
the business was small, as was also
the city, but as the city grew the
business kept pace, and today it meas
ures up to the responsibility and re-
quirements Of the prosperous and pro-
gressive little city in which it is To-
Gated.
Passing from the original founders,
the business passed through several
SUGGESTIONS, finally coming, two years
ago to the proprietorship of the pres
ent owner.
The business is located at the cor
ner of Bryan and Mosely streets, in
the very heart of the city, in the larg-
est individual business house in Bry-
ana two-tsory brick structure, 115x
140 feet In dimensions. The stock
carried in its several lines are among
the largest in the state, not even ex-
cepting the larger cities. 1t has been
the purpose of the present owner and
he has worked constantly to that end,
to so stock and equip his business
that it will absolutely meet every de-
mand of this entire section of the
state. The very best makes OF furn-
iture, buggies, saddles and harness, in
unlimited stocks, are to be found in
this establishment, as well as a Sc
lect line of pianos and sewing ma
