In Politics.
They play mighty peculiar game
In politics.
They're not particular where they aim
They fool their neighbors and slam
their friends,
They think it needless to make amends,
They stop at nothing to gain their ends
In politics.
They yank the Doodle and stow the
pelf
In politics
And everyone is out for himself
In politics.
They wade and ~allow and splash in
mire,
They claim all virtues and play with
fire;
OF gamblers chances they never tire
In politics.
They make us believe that black is

In politics.
They even convince us that wrong is
right.

They hypnotic and they mesmerize.
They rake the garbage and lift their

Here lies poor woman who always
was tired.
She lived in house where the help
was not hired.
Her last words on earth were: Dear
friends, 1 am going
To whore there's no cooking, no wash
ing or sewing;
But everything there is exact to my
wishes.
For where they don't eat there's no
washing of dishes.
I'll be where loud anthems will al

But having no voice I'll get out OF
the singing.
Don't mourn for me now Don't
mourn for me never;
I'm going to do nothing forever and

products held back now, however, will
questionably high prices. One sorry
result of the war will be the world
wide advance in food products, which
we in common with other nations must
expect. On imports the situation is
equally deranged. Our purchases of
European luxuries will certainly be
curtailed, not for lack of transporter
ton, but because the people of Europe
will have largely become destroyers in
stead of producers. European sugar
and grain crops will certainly suffer
severely. British cotton and wooden
manufacturers will incur heavy losses.
Even If they ultimately secure their
supplies Of raw materials, as they
probably will. their export trade will
be seriously disturbed. This will
greatly stimulate American exports of
cotton goods, and at the same time
check our imports OF woolens. The

TYPHOID FEVER BANISHED.
Most Remarkable Record Shown In
United States Army Medical
Report

WASHINGTON, June 9.-Typhoid
fever has been banished from the Uni
ted States army. Major F. F. Russell
in a recent issue of THE Journal of
the American Medical Association"
makes this statement and says the dis
appearance of typhoid is due directly
to typhoid vaccination. In the entire
enrolment of over 10000 men in bar
racks or camps in the United States,
Philippines, China, Porto Rico, Cuba,
and Hawaii there were during 1918 on
ly three cases of typhoid. Two of
these were recruits, who, after five
days enlistment, developed the disease.
Out of the entire body Of 10000 men
only one case occurred in an inoculat-
ed soldier during the entire year.
This case was a soldier in the bat
talon on duty in China All three of
these cases fully recovered. 1t is
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
field, has expected to pay heavy toll
in sickness and death in this disease.
