Cases Are
Neglected
Rapid Spread of Typhoid At
tributed to carelessness
in Handling Disease
at Bedside.

Returning To Richmond today
from hurried tour of commu-
mites in which typhoid fever
has already appeared, DIR. \.
w. Freeman, Assistant Health
Commissioner, declares the out.
look unfavorable aud attributes
the rapid spread of the disease
to the neglect of precautions
IN caring for the first cases that
appear.
In his tour DR.. Freeman Wis
tied several small towns from
which have come reports of
outbreaks and he gave careful
attention to TIL c conditions
which seemed responsible for
the spread Of the infection.
While he outlined in every in.
stance measures of prevention,
DR.. Freeman predicts n very
bad year in typhoid unless the
people of the State will at once
take precautions and will con-
fine the disease to those among
whom II first appears.
AS result of DR.. Freeman's
inspection, the Board of Health
today issued IL special bulletin
calling attention to the proper
method of caring for individual
cases of typhoid. 1.-The Board,
says the bulletin, has issued an
edition of 10000 small placards
which are called Bedside Di-
rections for the Care of Typhoid
Cases These directions tell
how the patient is to be cared
for, how disinfectants are to be
prepared and what must be
done to prevent the carriage of
the disease from the sick to the
we'll y large number of ply
sicians have already sent for
these placards to distribute
them among their patients; but
il ia impossible TO reach any
considerable number of the AT
ilicted families in this way. We
very urgently request the head
of every family ia which ty-
phoid fever appears to write at
once for a copy of these direc
tons and 10 follow them.
Carelessness means the infec-
ton of other members of the
household. while preventive
mcasurers will generally suffice
to coniine the disease To the
first case.
The methods by which ty.
phoid fever is carried in this
climate have been determined
by careful Experiments and
should bc Well known to the
public.
"rhe all important thing to
remember is that the gems of
typhoid fever are carried only
in the discharges from the hu
man body and that a well per
son contracts the disease be
cause he has taken into his
mouth filth from some person
who has or has had the disease.
The control of typhoid fever is
simply a question of caring for
human discharges. If our PEG
pie are careless in this respect
and If they neglect the early
cases which are now appearing
IN many quarters, we may ex.
pect n very bad typhoid year.
| With care, even now, the mum
Der of future cases may be ma
terlally reduced"

The Tossing
of Fate
Now We Go Up and Now
We Go Down
By WILLARD MALTBIE

When Fred Hartley was graduated
from the scientific department of his
college at the bead of his class. though
he did not know 1t, he was at the apex
Of that eminence which is measured by
the plaudits of ones fellows. Every
one predicted that he would have a
brilliant career, though no one seemed
to have any well defined idea as to
how it was to be brought about. He
had astonished his classmates and in
structors by his mechanical ingenuity
and had invented several contrivances
which, though of no especial value. in
dictated his ability in that direction.
The next most important feature to
a mans career is the wife he gets. At
the mating age there are no instructors
to tell him which girl will be the help
meet for him that he needs or the girl
untitled to supply his requirements,
and If there were such they would
doubtless make many lamentable fail
ures in pointing out the right girl In
