PREVENTING TYPHOID.

People living in, or visiting commun-
tiles with uncertain supplies of drink
ing water have an almost certain pre-
tentative of typhoid fever in VAGINA
ton. Over $500 men in the navy have
been treated without unfavorable symp-
toms. Not a single one has since had
typhoid. Nurses and physiciang brought
in contact with the decease receive
protection hitherto impossible.
Many cities having contaminated
water supplies now treat the water
with hypochlorites. An ingenious meth
cd was demonstrated at the recent
meeting of the American Public Health
association by means of which an in
dividual may thus treat small glass
of water. Small glass tubes contain
ing the right amount of disinfecting
powder to render a glass of water safe
can easily be carried in the pocket.
By boiling water in the home, it is
not difficult to render it safe from ty-
phoid and other intestinal water-born
diseases. A large covered pail kept
for this purpose makes cooling econo-
ical of time and ice. Uncertain milk
should be pasteurized by heating to 1877
degrees Fahrenheit for 20 minutes.
Typhoid is a disease which can be en-
tirely wiped out in few months if the
means at hand for so doing are en-
ployed. In Wisconsin alone this would
mean, on the average of the last four
years, a yearly saving of 367 lives. For
every death from typhoid there are on
an average from five to eight sick with
the disease. In some epidemics the
chance of life or death amongst the
older patients is evenly balanced This
gives an indication of how important is
prevention. &
The disease is most prevalent in the
autumn months 1t behooves every
adult citizen at this season to exhaust
every means to avoid all recognized
possibilities of infection.

HURQUIN AGAIN
TRIED SUICIDE

Grand Forks. N. D., Nov. 2e.-
The breaking Of the rope which he
had made by tearing his blankets to
pieces, and then tied around his neck
and to the top of his cell, frustrated
a second attempt at suicide made by
William Hurquin at the county jail
late Tuesday night.
A meeting of the county. insanity
board was held On his case and it
was decided to commit MIN to the
state insane asylum at jamestown. A
special deputy is expected to arrive
from the asylum to take charge Of the
lunatic.
The attempt at suicide occurred
shortly before midnight. Hurquin
managed to tear his blanket into
shreds and to fasten it around his neck
without being observed by any Of the
other prisoners.
He then climbed onto his punk and
began to fasten the other end of the
i~mprovised O to the bars at the top
of his cell.
This was seen by other prisoners,
and a number of them started to-
wards him. Hurquin completed the
knot, however, and leaped from the
cor. Ene rope broke as soon as his
weight came upon 1t, however, and he
fell to the floor.
The other prisoners overpowered
him, and kept watch for the rest of
the night fearing a recurrence Of the
attempt.
This is the second attempt at sui
eide which Hurquin has made, the
first occasion being the city jail last
Saturday night, when he tied an inn
~provised rope around his neck and
attempted to throttle himself.

EYES IN PORTRAIT
FOLLOW AROUND
CURIOUS ILLUSION EXPLAINED
AS OPTICAL PHENOMENON BY
A WRiTER-PIcTURE's EYES
MUST BE LOOKING DIRECTLY
TO FRONT TO OBTAIN EFFECT.

New York American: WHY do the
eyes of a painted portrait follow you?
1t Is often unCanny, they way they
DO 1t. In olden days a superstition at
tached to it-especially with regard
70 certain portraits in ancient houses.
fhe Idea has been embaImed to some
extent in literature.
But we know now why the thing is
SO. 1t is simply an optical illusion,
easily explained.
40 produce such an effect the eyes
or the person represented in the por-
trait must be looking directly front,
and not toward one side. So much for
mat. Now, under such circumstances
the pupil of each eye is necessarily in
the middle thereof, with as much
white on one side as on the other,
OBVIOUSLY, this relation does not
vary at all with the position assumed
by the observer. The latter may stand
far over on either side of the picture,
and yet. from his point of view. there
Is as much "White' on one side Of
each eye as On the other, and the pupil
still Is in the middle. Such being the
case, the painted image continues to
look directly at him.
That Is all there is to it. And ex-
actly the same principle applies to the
pictures, often seen In advertising
signs, which not only look but also
point a steady finger directly at the
observer, no matter where the latter
may stand. Sometimes, instead of d
ilnger, 1t Is a pistol in the picture thai
is pointed.
This very curious optical phenom-
enon Is exhibited most strikingly on
the street cars. One enters, say, al
tne real door, and sees, on q picture
sign, a man pointing a finger or a. pis-
tol at him. AS the passenger goes for
ward the man actually seems to turn
and follow him with eye and pistol,
still pointing the latter at. him when
ne has reached the front door of the
car. 1t is q swing through an arc of
10 degrees or more.
fou see. whatever the point OF view
may be $50 long as the picture is in
sight at alb the muzzle Of the pistol,
or the fingertip, is always OFFICIALLY
central. The picture being a plane
surface the relation of fingertip or
muzzle to the other parts of it are un-
altered. Hence, wherever o stand
the pistol Or finger points at you.
In the palatial mansion Of a New
York multifnillionaire there is a double
staircase, the two flights joining at a
landing above. On the wall is a huge
painting Of a flock OF sheep coming
down hill. The picture is a famous
work of art, and cost nobody knows
how many thousands of dollars; but
the thing about it that chiefly interests
most people who see it Is that, no mat
ter which of the two flights (Which are
fifty feet apart1 n ascends. the
sheep seem to be running directly to-
ward the observer. Here again the
optical principle involved is exactly

ONE POINT STILL SECRET

New York, March S0-The first ofdcial
statement Of the processes used by DR..
Friedrich Franz friedman in the prep
aration OF his tuberculosis cure, the eff
fcacy Of which he is now seeking to
demonstrate to American physicians and
the lay public. has reached this country.
It Is translation Of DR.. Friedmann's
own explanation of the method Of manu-
facture of his serum now on file In the
German patent Office at Berlin. A SINH
lar statement Is now a part OF the secret
files Of the United States Patent ONCE
at Washington.
Medical men, who have closely followed
the demonstrations and declarations Of
DR.. Friedmann, said tonight that the pub
lication Of this document now leaves but
one feature Of importance in the Fried
mann discovery unsolved.
In this explanation Of his process. DR..
Friedman carefully evades q frank
statement of whether his bacilli origi-
mated in the turtle, as has been generally
believed. or in the human body.
The explanation which now remains
for DIR. Friedman to make Is whether
he originally found the ncnvirulent
tuberculosis bacilli In the turtle or culti-
waited virulent human bacilli, by the
processes he describes. to a point whers
1t was nonvirulent ana acciimated to
the cold blood of the turtle
Describes Four Methods.
Or. friedman describes four methods
by which bacini may be treated to attain
the results he claims to have attained.
Three of these methods. physicians de-
clare, have been used by psychologists
for from ten to twenty years.
The German savant, however. claims
improvement in these methods one I'M
provement IS In the metnoos or Kliilng
the bacilli. The old way was to kill them
by means OF a rotary machine equipped
with glass balls. Dr. friedman uses a
hammer, crushing the peculiar gelatinous
substances that surround the bacillL It
is said that the old system produced
heat, which Kept alive the vIruIence or
the bacilli and this fault Is overcome
by Friedmann's hammering process.
A mixture Of dead and alive nom
virulent bacilli is also described by Or.
friedman. Another method Is to breed
together ,the v-uIent and nonviruIenr
baciIli and DR.. Friedman has found that
and make nonenective the virulent ones.
Would InocuIate Children.
DR.. Friedman took up with assistants
yesterday the proposition OF immunlzing
babies. Speaking of the plan tonight. he
said that eighteen months ago he injected
his serum into about $50 newly born chill
dren, mos. of them of tubercular parents.
He said that he had carefully watched
the results, and evidently the "vaccina-
ton" had been effective and done much
good, as none OF the children had de-
veloped symptoms of tuberculosis.

on dead nonvirulent bacilIi in place of
the living nonviruIent baciIn produced
according to the present invention. The
killing can be done by hammer1ng,
whereby the Disadvantages OF all other
ways Of killing, known so far, ara
avoided.
Protective and curative materials or
serum can. according to this invention,
also be produced by using instead OF
living nonvirulent cultures, made IN this
way, mixtures of different living, nom
virulent cultures. or mixtures or living
and killed nonvirulent bacilli.
1t has even been shown that such cura-
tive and protective serums can be pro-
duced by breeding on the same "Naehr-
boeden" virulent tubercular bacilli and
nonvirulent tubercular bacilIi. or any acid
proof bacilli
In this process 1t was tn be expected
that the virulent bacilii would remain
effective and maintain their harmful
properties even in their mixtures. But
quite Unexpectedly in this case the non
vfrulent cultural parts counteract and
make noneffective the virulent ones.
They finally stop their further increase
entirely and annihilate them. 1t has
been proved by experiment that these
mixed cultures. produced in the proper
prOpOrtlOn, 90 not produce tuberculosis
any longer, that Is to say. that they
furnish entirely nonvirulent cultures
Therefore, this manner of producing
curative and protective materials, in
which process nonvirulent cultures are
obtained by using nonvirulent and viru-
lent bacilli. forms a part Of the claims
of this invention.
According to the procedure described
above. curative and protective serums
are produced which are capable of pro-
ducing in man. as well as mammals
great degree of curative effect and i'm
munity, as can be seen from the record
Of cases treated.
The document here quotes at consid-
cradle length the records of several
cases treated by DR.. Friedman. which
he submits as proof of his claim to
have discovered a genuine remedy for
the disease. The experiments cited be-
gan with the incubation Of guinea pigs
on November q. 1907. incubation of hui
man beings was attempted only after
the inventor had tried the effect OF sew
