TYPHOID CARRIERS.

Now that the quality Of public water
supplies has been greatly improved
and the practice OF milk past.urization
has been widely introduced, outbreaks
~ Uphold attributed to typhoid car
riers are becoming more conspicuous
than formerly, although probably they
are not really more freqent. A re.
markable epidemic due to food in
fected by a carrier was recently re.
ported by Sawyer In recent issue OF
The Journal OF the American Medical
Association, and while this was per-
hsps exceptional in the number OF per-
sons infected at one time, IL emphasizes
the grave danger Of allowing carriers
TO have to do with the preparation or
handling OF food intended for general
consumption. The still more recent
typhoid outbreak at Lehigh University
with more than fifty cases and several
deaths has been traced likewise by the
Pennsylvania State Department Of
Health to a kitchen employee who
proved to be healthy career. Such
instsnces-and they are multiplying
fast suggest that wherever feasible,
employees handling foods liable to
spread infection should be examined
for possible typhoid reaction in the
blood. In case the reaction is possi-
tive, and even when il is negative, but
there is . definite history of typhoid
fever, bacterial examination for ty-
phoid germs should be make. Appli-
cation Of the test could probably bs
made with little inconvenience in con
nection with the student dining hallI
OF many educa tionRl institutions where
proper bacteriologic facilities and ex
pert service exist. We know of n
least one American University wher,
such q routine examination OF the EN-
ployess concerned in the handling o
food has been practieed for severa
years past. The disaster at Lehigl
shows that such precautions are justi
fled, and that with our present knowl
edge Of typhoid causation some respon
sibility in this regard may be justl!
expected from College authorities
There are also many hospitals, sani
tariums and public institutions ii
which the necessary facilities and skill
for such examinations exist or coul,
be readily provided, and here. too, it /
true that to be forewarned is to b
forearmed. In the future uncomfori
able questions may be asked when car
rier outbreaks occur in large institu
tions that are provided with bacterIc
10 ,io facilities.

PUT ON The SHELF
BY CORA JOHNSON.

The Bickleses had not the least idea
what was happening to them. They
merely thought they were giving
pleasure to their child. Now. there
is a great difference In people-and
the Bickleses were entirely Of the
other sort. They we're lively and up
to.date and enjoyed life and belonged
to a dancing club. even though Evan

had never been guilty OF saying: "oh,

Bickles yet come to the point where
he ratified the evening paper and
growled and yawned and cried: "Oh,
confound 1t! Have got to get dressed
to 20 out tonight? Why can't we ever
stay at home comfortably"
1T will be very nice for Evange-
line to have the first meeting OF the
Five Hundred club here. I'm sure"

The day before the meeting of the

Il hope you'll come down and meet
them. mother, that evening" Evange-
line added kindly.
Mrs. Bickles almost wept when
she rehearsed this to her husband.
On the evening of the club meeting
Bickles chanced to be upstairs obey
ing Evangeline's orders. For Evan
geline had cast a Mortified glance at
him after dinner and had ordered him
| to shave at once and put on shoes in
stead OF house slippers. "You don't
need TO get into your tuxedo" she
called after him. Just your new
| business suitl"
Bickles nearly cut himself twice
thinking about this. His head whirled
slightly For a parcel of children!"
he repeated over and over, In a be-
wildered tone. Downstairs he heard
the noise of arrivals and the subdued
murmur OF voices. A little later Mrs.
Bickles came to him. She had a curl
Gus expression about her mouth.
Boys and girls all here?" Bickles
asked as he shrugged into his coat
Yes" said his wife rather family.
"The-the boys and girls are here."
I'm run down and say hello to
them. them" Bickles said and trotted
downstairs.
He paused in the doorway OF the
living room. A youngster six feet tail
unfolded himself from the nearest
chair, Another youngster apparently
six inches taller than the first one
rose and stretched out next to him.
All over the room young giants were
! rising from their chairs. Scattered
among them sat self possessed young
women. They regarded Bickles with
cool, level eyes. rather critically.
Good evening" said the young
giants with polite condescension.
Bickles had to reach up to shake
hands with them.
"Er-" he began and then stopped.
He had intended to say something
about pitching in and having a good
time, but II was manifestly impossi-
BILE for him to speak patronizingly.
Il am glad 10 have met you" he said
solemnly Then he turned and went up
stairs.
In the little sitting room he found
Mrs Bickles.
"Shelved!" Rickles murmured. Tor
