| Sacramento has a sailor with a rec
ord for distributing typhoid said TO
exceed even that of Typhoid Mary,
whose case caused the health authori-
| ties of New York so much trouble a
Ffew years ago. In his wake he leaves

die. Although he hasn't committed
any offense-unIess his mere existence
can he be held to constitute unjusti-
fable homicide-the authorities have
| him in confinement. They have tried to
remedy his condition in numerous
ways, but apparently they must either
keep him or kill him if the lives of
other people are to be protected. The
plight of these typhoid carriers is pa
thetic. Fortunately the instances are
| not many.-Hartford Times
