TYPHOID EPIDEMIC.

A typhoid epidemic of ninety three. cases in the city of Hanford, Cal. is reported by W. A. Sawyer, Berkeley, Cal, in recent issue of The Journal of the American Medical Association. All the eases could be traced to a church dinner, and the infection came from a. typhoid carrier among those who prepared and served the food, a. woman who did not know that she had had typhoid. The history is inter esting. The infection was conveyed in a dish of Spanish spaghetti Only those partaking of it were primarily affected and only one secondary case was reported, but this war apparent ly not positively traced to this source. Sawyer sums up his conc1usi ons as foIlows: f"The source of infection in the ninety three eases of typhoid fe- yer in the Hanford epidemic was a typhoid carrier who prepared food

served at a public dinner. The ve-
 hicIe of the infection was a large pan of Spanish spaghetti prepared by the carrier This dish was baked after it had been infected, but this baking was shown by laboratory experiments to have developed the bacteria instead of sterilizing the food. Certain GUS tomary methods of cooking are thus shown to be inadequate as protec- tion against infection. The incuba- ton period in the majority of the ca ses in this epidemic of typhoid fever proved to be shorter than the time usually regarded as the minimum. The first case developed three days after Infection More eases showed their first symptoms six days after the in fected food was eaten than on any other one day. The ways in which a carrier may transmit infection are so varied and 80 numerous that at tempts at the control of mere chan nels of infection will not offer suf1i-

cient protection. Those who were suspicious of the raw salad at the din ner in Hanford and ate the freshly baked spaghetti turned from safe dish to one which was heavily infect ed. The best protection against car riers will come through thorough fn- vestigation of the source of infection in every case of typhoid fever. When carrferss are discovered, they can be advised and controlled. Until there are moi trained epidemiologists on a. health officials, the danger from car riers will not be noticeably diminish ed, and the individual will find in anti
 typhoid vaccine his best protection against infection from. carriers"

Claim That Railway travel is mo re
Dangerous Than War.


| In his price of Inefficiency" Frank
Rooster shows that riding on railways
Is more dangerous than war; The loss
Of life by railroad accidents in the
United States in the last ten years
has been three times as great as an,
country has every suffered by war in
the same period.
In the daily battle of transporting
itself about the city Of New York. the
population Of the city is reduced by
$50 killed and 200 injured every year
That is, Of those who start out to
ride on any given day, one will never
return and seven will be brought back
injured, the price Of inefficient trans
portation.
The cost to the transportation COM
panies amounts to about $4,000, 900 in
damages and s1,OOO,O0O in legal ex-
penses, while to the public the cost
Is vastly greater, since of the damages
they receive at least half is consum-
ed in legal expenses, while the amount
recovered amounts in no case to a very
large proportion of the actual loss.
The situation in New York is du-
plicated in more or less magnitude all
over the country, both in political
sense and in the efficiency of opera
tlon.
Due to carelessness Of EMPLOYEES.
faulty methods of operation, poor
equipment, disregard of proper safety
carelessness of the public

end of all concerned and the final ne
gligence of the public to place respon-
sibility, the harvest of death, disaster
and misery, the burdens Of sickness
and the suffering Of those bereft and
injured continue.
In railroad transportation the situa-
ton Is even more appalling In 1919
1851 were killed and 1O2,O75 injured
a total ranking with the great battles
Of history.
An important addition to the cas-
lalties Is the great number killed while

NORTHERN PACIFIC HAS
L0L0 CUTOFF ON MAP
STRONG INDICATION THAT COM.
PANY WILL CONSTRUCT LINE
At AN EARLY DATE.

The Lewiston Tribune of the 1871
contains some interesting commen
upon the plans Of the Northern Paci
fic In the way Of railway constructio!
next year, these plans including thu
long expected cutoff between Missouls
and Lewiston and a branch timbe
road from Orofino to Pierce Tn,
Tribune says:
1.-THE new wall map of the Northern
Pacific which was received in the ci.,
yesterday shows the Missoula cut,G
from Lolo, Mont, to Kooskia and thu
lumber road from Orofino to Pierce
City to be two Of the four isnportan,
roads projected for construction. The
other two important pieces of con.
struction indicated are the Glenn cut
off from Ritzville to Ellensburg and
the Oregon line from Bend to Butte
Falls, the present terminus of the
short branch from Medford.
The fact that the Missoula and the
Pierce City lines are indicated on the
new map is regarded as especially
significant by railroad men in view Of
the extensive terminal construction
now under way in the eastern section
of the city, statement being made that
the terminal facilities to be provided
by the present construction will be
ample to handle main line traffic.
Why North Fork Was Chosen.
1t will be remembered that when
the Northern Pacific was required by
the government to choose between the
Middle Fork and the North Fork
routes for Its location of the Montana
line, the North Fork route was select
ed, but the wisdom of such action is
explained by railroad men on the
ground that the North Fork offers an
inviting field for rival lines that might
desire to serve the big North Fork
timber district and the Milwaukee line
is now constructed to within a few
miles of this river while the only use
any road could make of the Middle
Fork route would be for the construc-
ton of transcontinental line and
there is little likelihood of any rival
company desiring to occupy this route
before the Northern Pacific.
Early Construction Next Year.
There is general belief in railroad
circles that there will be no big con-
struction commenced by the railroad
this year but the view is generally
held that the Northern Pacific is pre-
pairing for the early construction of the
Missoula cutoff and that this line will
be one Of the first to receive attention
The construction of the terminal ia
cilities here, the building of the new
steel bridge at Spalding and the i'm
provement Of the Clearwater line are
all said to point conclusively to a plan
for early construction from the upper
Clearwater through the Bitter Root
mountains to the Montana connection.
