TYPHOID FEVER BANISHED
FROM UNACLE SANS ARMY

Washington, June 9-Typhoid fe-
yer has been banished from the Unit
ed States army. Major F. F. Rus
sell III a recent issue of the Journal
of the American Medical Association
makes this statement and says the
disappearance of typhoid is due di-
rectly to typhoid vaccination. In the
entire enrolment of over 10000 men
in barracks or camps in the United
States, Philippines, China, Porto Rico,
Cuba and Hawaii there were during
1913 only three cases of typhoid. Two
of these We're recruits who, after five
days enlistment, developed the dis
ease. Out of the entire body of 90,-
600 men only one case occurred in
an inocluated soldier during the en-
tire year.
This case was soldier in the bat
talon on duty in China. All three
of these cases fully recovered. 1t il
pointed out that typhoid fever has
been for centuries the most dangerous
disease to soldiers and that every
army whether on post duty or IN the
eld, has expected to pay heavy toll
in sickness and death to this dis-
ease.

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
Chicago, June 9-Ten thousand
clubwomen, delegates to the twelfth
biennial convention Of the General
Federation of Women's Clubs, owned
Chicago today. They got seats in
crowded street cars while Miss Chi
cago was compelled to cling to the
strap. AT noon today only half the
delegates had arrived. The formal
opening is scheduled for tomorrow.
The California delegation is here,
accompanied by lone man. His name
is George Mccoy. He was loaded with
suffrage banners and was the busiest
member of the delegation. The fight
to place the Federation on record as
favoring woman suffrage is expected
to .overshadow everything else before
the convention.
Recommendation of "sane and
sensible form of dress will be con-
sidered next Tuesday. The conven-
ton, however, is not expected to conf
. nit itself to any dress reform pro-
gram. The suffrage resolution will
come up week from tomorrow.
