There appears to be less typhoid
fever in Kansas just now than there
was a year ago at this time according
to DR.. ]. j. Sippey, epidemiologist for
the state board of health. In some
towns and communities there have
been outbreaks of typhoid, due prob
ably to the failure of good water sup
plies and the enforced use of impure
water. But for the entire state there
are fewer cases of the disease than
at the same time last year and the
year before. people are learning
more about typhoid and how to avoid
contracting It," said Dr. Sippey in ex-
planning the comparatively small
number of cases of the disease in the
state at the present time. During
the dry weather they have the danger
of typhoid impressed more forcibly
upon their minds and they take great
er precautions. In fact, there will be
more danger of typhoid after the
rains come and the streams fill up
again. Infected material may be
washed into the streams and wells
as result, causing more cases Of
sickness from this disease than there
is now. So people should not relax
precautions when wet weather comes
along"

HABITS ARE IyRANTs

Those who form sudden resolu-
tons to break off their habits, nc
matter whether they are good OF
bad, may be laying themselves open
to an illness.
A man who for the last twelve
years has made rule Of spending
one week of his holiday each year
in bed, departed from the custom
last year, and for the first time
throughout that period had an i'll
ness which kept him from business.
The human body can shape itself to
practically any conditions or habits,
but if those conditions are discon-
tinued suddenly one is almost sure
to be ill.
In fact, it is the opinion of a well
known physician that any kind of
habit is bound to hit back if dis
continued to abruptly. No man
can suddenly switch off meat to a
vegetable diet, for instance, and re-
main we'll.
Here is a common instance of
how the body adapts itself to en-
vironment. A man is kept to his
bed for two or three weeks. When
he gets up he finds itdifficult to walk
for the first day or two. He puts
down his trouble to weakness. But
his legs are not really weaker. 1t
is simply that their mechanism is
upset.
De Quincy is a notable example
of the way habits become chains,
which, if broken, bring illness and
often death. The famous writer
had accustomed himself to taking
four ounces of laudanum a day. He
certainly would have died if he
stopped this daily dose.-London

AS BEST FAMILIES DO

He had just returned from a
journey around the world. He
knew that the beautiful girl he had
left behind him year before was
waiting for him. 1t was, there
fore, with the most estate feeling
of JOY that upon his arrival he pre-
scented himself at her house.
After the first bewildering and
gladstone greeting, they sat on the
sofa together. He was about to kiss
her, when she said:
One moment, darling. Since
you have been away, father, who, as
you know, is a banker, has been
convicted by the money probers
and is now in Jail"
Il had heard something about it. :"
Mother has turned suffragette
and yesterday while trying to break
into Congress was locked up"
'Indeed!''
Sister has become a futurist and
is doing the decorations for the
Bloomingdale insane asylum"
How interesting, but"
Brother got his divorce yester-
day and has gone into temporary
bankruptcy in order to get out Of
paying his alimony. Now you may
kiss me-"
He folded her reproachfully in
his arms.
1t seems pity, DEAR" he said,
as he imprinted upon her lips the
impassioned emblem of long de-
ferred love, that you should delay
this joy thus to tell me the ordi-
nary things that are likely at any
time to happen to any New York
family in good standing. Life.

and spiritually, thus Eliminating the
sad schooIof experience that many
of them would go through later. In
getting intimately acquainted and
getting near his heart, the instructor
can discuss and advise the boy,
whereas the boy wouldn't reveal
things to his parents-if he had any
thus getting his experience by
proxy. as it were. Another thing,
while the writer is little more than
youth in years, his memories are
fresh and vivid, and it is his ex-
perience and observation that. while
boy scarcely notices things OF no
consequences in actions, words or
deeds in early life, these accumulat-
ed notices are amalgamated as
he grows older, and he not only
makes four from two and two, but
sometimes five and six. and they
are held as his standard; if he
doesn't grow cynical.
Thus, whether it be your boy or
some one else's boy, you influence
him to an extent. If given sun
light and proper nourishment, the
seed grows to fower-hood and the
boy to fowery manhood. If his en-
vironment is right, most Of the fight
is won, and it is fight until long
after he reaches twenty-one.
Again, l argue, remove the cause
and there Will be no disease. Save
the boy and prison populations
will diminish to a minimum Otto

THE ~HOwLER"

Periodically a howl goes up dep
racating the release Of few men
from this institution, through the
parole and pardon routes. And, be
it noted, the word few" is advised
ly used.
As an antidote for the mental
anguish of those who would set at
naught the wisdom of the members
Of the board of pardohs and board of
administration, we would suggest
that they take allopathic doses of
the medicine prescribed by Physi-
clans Carey and Mccormick.
Judge Robert Carey, of the Com
mon Pleas court of New Jersey,
has said:
IF 1 had my way every man and
woman would serve one day in Jail
each year. What different view
of life you would get. You would
exhibit a new kind of Christianity
and charity
Judge Paul J. Mccormick, of
California, says:
No Judge who has not spent
SOME TIME behind the oars him
self is qualified to send another man
there. Only such Judge is able to
estimate the punishment he is called
on to inflict upon his fellows"
OF course, the Judge doesn t
mean that the magistrate himself
needs must be sentenced to Jail to
acquire such experience.
Judge Mccormick talks with
not at-the prisoner he is about to
sentence, so he can appreciate the
latter's viewpoint and put himself
in his place." We would suggest
that the bowler" put himself in
the other fellows place. ascertain

ARE INSURINC
AGAINST CRIME
The Question Of the Increase Of Crime
and Criminals is an Ever Pressing One.
Some States are Insuring Against
Crime. Advanced System Of Caring
for Criminals is Needed.

We thought we had arrived at a
sort of consensus of opinion with
reference to what might be regard
ed as the proper limit to which in
surance should proceed, but here is
writer in September Technical
World" who would have us insure
against crime" From statistics
CLEANED from this writer we quote
the following: In 1908, New
York had five companies that hand
led crime insurance. Today it has
thirty. Three years ago, only
twenty-three per cent OF the money
rlsked by insurance companies on
these policies was lost. Today
they can figure on losing pretty
nearly fifty per cent of everything
risked. Crime has grown like
rank weed.
The question: Why has crime
grown like a rank weed, and the
criminally inclined multiplied, is of
ever present interest and vital i'm
portance. Since these statistics in
| dictate this interest and importance,
and Notwithstanding the multiplicity
of our scientific investigators into
crlminality, our pathological ex-
poets and advanced system for de-
lection, detention and representatives.
of acts of crime, to say nothing OF
jurisprudence in effects upon So
called criminals-think of the stu
pendous amount of legislation in
one way Or another covering trials,
commitments, release and custody
of the different classes of offenders
that has come to be in operation
within the last half decade and
still crime and criminals are in
creasing.
When the people eventually wake
up, and that time is bound to come,
though at what cost meantime it
would be useless to attempt to esti-
mate, they will, beyond question
of doubt, see that the wrong end OF
the dilema has been focused upon,
and that we have waited until the
overt act had been committed and
then dug spurs into the culprit, in
stead of riding our thouroughbreds
on to victory in original proven
ton.
The culprit who is caught, is done
for the minute the hand of the law
is laid upon him, counting, of course
on our perfected systems of identi-
fication, etc.; and that considering
the influences and impressions sown
on. in and with the rising gener-
ation," our prisons can only result
in producing passing makeshift.
and ultimately. a CHASTITY farce.
l am speaking of the common run
of criminal acts, and particularly of
the ot-infuential and comparative
ly friendless men who fill to over
flowing our penal and like institu-
tions, and not of the adequately pro-
tected fellow who has means or
amounts to something in the way Of
political unit, or is protege of
some powerful secret society or
organization.
We need nation wide education
in prison matters; all that apper-
tains to their beginnings and their
ends. We would be startlingly
surprised at the ends contaminated,
were we to have the net results of
the different systems of commit
ment, release, custody, with the in
evitable aftermath produced, laid
bare before our eyes. St. Croix.
