Illinois Board Of Health Will
Furnish Typhoid Preventive
to All Free OF Cost.
ARMY PROVES EFFICACY
Distribution is Ordered Made Through
AntItoSen Agent Of the State
In Every County

Springfield. III. April 6-Naccina-
ton against typhoid fever has been in
dorsed by the state board OF health.
which will furnish the vaccine free Of
charge
The distribution Is being made
through the antitoXin agent OF the
board in every county seat and the
ten agents in Cook county. Il can be
obtained b. any physician upon the
delivery to the agent OF a receipt stat
ing TO whom n j. 20 be administered.
East treatment consists OF three doses
a; intervals of ten days. the FIRST dose
containing 500. 100000 killed bacteria
and the others 100000 each Each
dose Is put up in a glass syringe with
a sterilized needle.
Its efficiency Is illustrated by the
manner in which II has exterminated
typhoid fever from the United States
army. There was not a single typhoid
case either in the United States army
or the insular forces in 1913.
In 1909 there were 173 case In the
army, with sixteen deaths: in 1910. 14s
cases with ten deaths: in 1911 sixty
nine cases with nine deaths; in 1912,
twenty-sevea cases with four deaths.
The successful use of vaccine has
been demonstrated also by the French
military authorities.
In 1911 there were S93 and in 1912
IA deaths from typhoid fever in ILL
nois. There IS no reason to believe
that. with the same general use OF
vaccine, and the observance OF essen |
tial sanitary measures. the ratio OF de- I
crease OF cases in the state will not be J
the same as reported in the United |
States and French armies.
while impure water is often the 4
cause OF an outbreak OF typhoid fever.

watched him closely to keep him from
doing himself harm, vet on the morn

be found had taken the step which
ended his life, shocked the whole com

MEMOIR OF FREDERICK AND LES
LIE LEONARD.

Truly double sorrow has come to
the Leonard homes in the death of
these two worthy people within a few
hours of each other. Frederick
Leonard, the father, was born. in Bris-
toll township, March 22nd, 1857, and
his whole life was spent on the same
farm except about three years which
he spent in Kenosha. He was married
to Miss Kittie Gould, November 18th,
1877 and for more than thirty-six years
they lived most happily together. Two
children were born to them, Clayton
and Leslie. Mr.. Leonard was a success
full farmer, industrious and upright; as
a neighbor he was kind and obliging,
ever ready to share the burdens of
those about him. In politics he was a
republican. His convictions on any
subject We're quite positive and he usu-
ally expressed them in manner which
convinced those who heard him of his
thorough sincerity. lie was an honor
ed charter member of Camp No. S23
of the Modern Woodmen of America,
and the large number from that order
who attended his funeral gave evil
dence of the high esteem in which lie
was held. Mr.. Leonard had slight
shock of paralysis about a year ago
from which he never fully recovered,
but he continued to work until about
three weeks ago when he was COM
PEELED to give up and despite the eff
forts of the best medical skill, the most
faithful nursing and the loving minis
try of kind friends and neighbors, he
passed to the home beyond on Monday,
April eth. He is survived by his be-
reaved companion; two brothers, Homer
Leonard, NJ. D., of Kansas City, Mo-,
Frank Leonard of Los Angeles, Cal,
one sister, Mrs. James Fink of Greeley,
Col, one son, Clayton, who lives at
home, and daughter-in-law, Mrs. Les
