are more dreaded BY the general pub
lie than typhoid fever. Although less
common and less dangerous than
many diseases, yet. because Of its I'M
sidious invasion, its prolonged run Of
fever and sprostration, It's frequent
epidemic character, and its too FREE
quent fatal ending, typhoid fever has
come to occupy almost the first place
IN popular thought among the dis
eases Of mankind. =
People have come to recognize, too,
that It As one Of the preventable dis
eases, and that whenever q case OF
typhoid fever occurs somebody has
been ct fault somewhere. Its infect
ious character has been SO much en-
phastzed that the fact that It Is con-
tagious as well as infectious has been
quite neglected.
The fight against typhoid fever and
other water borne diseases must be
made largely by. physicians and water
works officials who may admirably
supplement each other, to the end that
typhoid fever shall soon cease to be
a national disgrace.
At the present time there are no
special laws in the state giving the
board Of health authority to make
regulations in regard to the disposal
or treatment Of sewage. The state
might very proftably set an example
by Installing sewage treatment
plant for the disinfection Of sewage
from the state hospital at Weston,
which discharges into the city's
source of water supply daily approxi-
mately two hundred thousand gall
Ions of fecal matter.
While filtration affords safe pro-
lection OF surface waters against
waterlborne diseases as demonstrated
by the excellent results accomplished
at the local publication plant, since
the completion Of which typhoid fever
has been practically eliminated from
the Clarksburg water district, yet the
pollution Of streams from which pub
lie water supplies are drawn is In
excusable, and places an unreason-
able burden upon the filtration plant.
A word as to the hardness of water.
The point at which a water becomes
objectionably hard has never been
exactly defined. Standards Of hard
ness vary In different parts OF the
country. The ordinary person wash
ing his hands considers the water
soft II the soap will quickly produce
a suds without curdling. A hardness
Of ten parts per million is practical
ly unnoticeable, and 1t requires a
hardness Of twenty to thirty parts per
million to produce "curdling." Wat
ers which have hardness below
twenty-five parts per million seldom
cause much complaint, but when the
hardness rises above fifty the water
is well entitled to the appellation
hard, and above one hundred 1t
may be called very hard. In some
parts Of the country hardnesses of
three hundred. to five hundred are OBJ
served; these may be termed excess

THAMES TIDE FO|LS
LONDON SCIENTISTS
Runs Down the River an Hour
Before Schedule and Traffic
Is DiSorganized.

LONDON, Feb. 5.-Barge and other
traffic on the Thames was disorganiZed
a few mornings ago by the tide stop
ping an hour before its time. Scientists
had fixed s:19 a. m. as the time of high
water at London Bridge, but at $40 the
tide began TO run down, being at that
moment over four feet below hiGh-water
mark.
Barges laden with oil and coal cohld
not get up the river, the whole course
of which was congested with craft The
blockade was espeC Tally heavy near the
Temple pier, where Port of London
officials shook their heads sorrowfully
over this prank on the part of the
Thames.
"a very rare thing" said one OF
them, apologetically, as though he were
deploring the fall from grace of a rela-
tive.
Bargemen and rivermen had other
things TO say and expressed them loudly
and forcibly. especially, as in addition
to the absence of tide to take them
along, they had to contend with a
strong head wind from the southwest
Many of them had to seek the shelter
of wharves until they could obtain the
assistance OF tugs. In some cases two
or three tugs were needed. Meanwhile
the tide that took the wrong turning
remains unforSiven-and unexplained.

NEW BIRDLAW PUTS
BAN ON SLAUGHTER
Spring Migration Legislation to
Prevent Shooting of Game
Until Fall.

The migratory bird law has put a
stop TO shooting in all but three States
Of the Union. Florida, Georgia and
south Carolina and in two weeks those
states will be closed and there will be no
hunting of game birds in the United
states until fall.
For the first time in history the birds
will BE- allowed to come north to their
breeding grounds without being shot
on the wing declared T. ;. Palmer,
assistant chief of the biological survey,
Department of Agriculture
The ducks in the Florida everglades
are now laying and are beginning to
come north. The snipes and woodcocks
VIII soon be on the wing. They will
not be murdered this spring on their
way north
The closed season in Maryland, Vir-
ginia and North Carolina went into ef-
feet last Sunday. These States were
the last this far north to close.
Stops Slaughter.
Mr.. Palmer said the number of game
birds that would be saved by the alb
sence of spring shooting this year and
IN the years to come could not be com.
puted. But he said there was one club
in one of the central States that re-
four weeks of spring shooting and with
less than a dozen men engaged in the
slaughter.
Shooting in the spring is not sport,
nut slaughter" Mr.. Palmer declared
1T is a form of murder that will be
prevented under the new laws"
Four or five states have objected to
the new Federal law, Mr.. Palmer said.
They reported the hunters of their To-
calittes favored their State laws.
That is because these state laws
nave only protected the birds on paper.
Mr.. Palmer said.
They have protected the birds at sea-
sons when there We're no birds TO shoot,
and allowed them to be slaughtered
when they should have been protected.
We find that the real sportsmen are
supporting the Federal Law. Those who
are shooting as a business, or who
do not want to abide by the law, are
opposing it"
Big Battery Guns.
In MI. PaImers office in the biolog-
ical survey there are many evidences
OF the means used by hunters to evade
the law. There is a big battery gun
with three gas-pipe barrels diverging
so as 10 give a sweep Of the water.
There are photographs of big pump
guns, one eight and the other thirteen
feet long, and shooting loads of one and
two pounds of shot, used for illegal gun
ming And there is a photograph of
framework used by trappers in the
marr'-c~ - riddle ducks with shot after
they have Ieen trapped and killed by
having their necks broken.
We expect great things from the new
migratory bird law Mr.. Palmer added
There will be more sport and less
slaughter, and the danger of eXtermi-
mating game birds will be averted.

GOOD ITALIAN PASTES
WORTH COPYING BY HousEkEEP.
ERS OF AMERICA.
At Least One Dish May Well Be
Served at Dinner-Many Methods
Of Cooking Macaroni-Tomato-
Sauce With Spaghetti.

American housekeepers anxious to
keep down the market bills have
learned the advantages of serving at
each dinner one dish containing some
of the Italian pastes, which are low in
price, nutritious and appetizing.
The American way of cooking spa
ghetti is to combine it with American
cheese chopped, butter and a little
milk beaten with eggs. The spaghetti
Is first cooked until 1t is soft; then
drained of the water. and the cheese,
butter and eggs already mixed are
beaten lightly into the hot paste. The
mixture is then baked to a golden
brown in the oven. A porcelain lined
baking dish is best, though some pre-
FER the old-fashioned yellow stone
ware.
Macaroni cooked and then simmered
N a good meat broth until tender also
mixes well with grated Gruyere cheese
mixed in the baking dish in layers,
anishing off the top with thick layer
,f the cheese and some grated bread
crumbs and butter.
Another dish is made by adding this
mixture TO the already cooked maca-
coni: One onion, little parsley and
six anchovies chopped up together
Fry this in the pan with butter for
about six minutes then add It to the
paste with half a glass of good white
wine and an equal amount Of fish
broth. Sprinkle with paprika and
grated Parmesan cheese.
Here is a simple dish called taglia-
telle. Make a good paste with -four
and eggs, roll out thin and cut in
strips half an inch wide; parboil in
salted water. Cut a slice of ham In
squares; mince the same amount OF
carrots and celery and brown them in
a pan with butter. Add strained toma.
toes or tomato paste and a cupful of
broth. Serve on a he. dish all to-
gether. the paste seasoned with grated
cheese.
The Italian method OF serving spa
ghetti. which is most popular in this
country, is I'm combination with tomato
sauce. The Neapolitan sauce is made
In many ways. A good and simple
recipe calls for quarter of an onion.
half stalk of celery, a few leaves Of
bay and bunch of parsley. Cut these
up fine together. Add cup of olive
oil, a pinch of salt and one of pepper.
and eight tomatoes cut up without the
skins. Boil this until the sauce is like
a cream; then strain and pour over
the spaghetti. Sprinkle grated cheese
on top
The Italian cook prepares the potato
with all the state of rarer vegetables
adding cinnamon, nutmeg, saffron and
herbs of all kinds. In one recipe you
are told to wash half a dozen potatoes;
peel off a strip OF the skin; put them
in a saucepan and cover with water to
boil. When they are mealy peel and
mash them. put them in saucepan;
add an ounce of butter and a piece Of
fresh bread soaked In milk. Add two
tablespoonfuls of milk, three eggs
beaten to a froth, yolke and whites
separately; salt. pepper and little
grated nutmeg. Mix we'll and put In
a baking dish. Pour melted butter
over; sprinkle with Parmesan cheese
and brown before serving.
