NO MORE TYPHOID.

Typhoid fever has been banished
from the United States army. When
our soldiers are needed hereafter the
American people can feel sure that.
as far as this disease is concerned.
the strength of each company and regi-
ment will be on the firing line In
previous wars, from 10 to 40 per cent
Of the opposing forces have been in
the hospitals, incapacitated through
various diseases. During the Spanish
American war, out of 10,759 soldiers
in camp at Jacksonville, Fla, there
were 1903 cases of typhoid If this
division had been in the midst of an
active campaign its fighting strength
would have been weakened about one
third, not only by the loss of these
patients, but also by the loss of the
men necessary to care for and transport
them.
Any means which viii reduce or
eliminate any of the diseases from
which soldiers have suffered in the
past viii actually increase both the
strength and efficiency of the army
1t viii also greatly increase the chanc
IS of our volunteer soldiers returning
safe from war, as disease has, in every
war in history so far, killed more
soldiers than bullets.
An official announcement of the
elimination of typhoid from our army
is an event in which every citizen
should feel a keen interest In re-
cent issue of The Journal of the Amer
lean Medical association, Major Fred
erick F. Russell of the Medical corps
| summarizes the results secured through
vaccination. In 1902, with an enlisted
strength of S0,778 men and officers,
there were in our regular army sos
cases of typhoid. In 1909, out of
| 81 ,077 men there were 282 cases. In
| March, 1909, vaccination was begun,
but the number vaecinated that year,
| $50, was too small to affect the ratio
| In 1910 over 10000 were vaccinated
and at once the number of typhoid
cases began to diminish. In 1911
there were only 20 eases. In the same
year vaccination for typhoid was made
compulsory ON all persons in the Mill
! tarv service and on all recruits. In
1912, the first year in which the entire
army was immunized, there were only
p cases, the last one occurring Dee
10, 1912. Since that date, now nine
months ago, there has not been a single
case of typhoid in the army.
Major Russell also reports that dur
ing the past four years over 100000
persons have been vaccinated without
"a single death or injurious result. Sucl
an experience on so large scale Ger
tainly iustifies his conclusion that By
| the general use of vaccination typhoid
fever will soon become negligible
factor in our public health problems.

A Sudden Flop.
Randolph Herald and News. J

(Randolph Herald and News.)
The conversion of the Burlington
Free Press to the radical side is too
sudden to cause more than speculation.
Those double barreled editorials, fun
ing over with warning to the unsus-
pecting people of Vermont lest they be
caught in the grip Of some bugbear
or other, simply provoke wonderment.
The lifelong record of the Free Press
as reactionary is still too fresh in
mind to be forgotten in this recent
flop It's adherence to Bourbonism
Of the most pronounced type lasted
until yesterday. What caused the
awakening? is a query heard more
often than any serious comment on the
subject matter of its editorial leaders.
