TO FIGHT TYPHOID
FEVER GERMS
State Health officer Steiner Issues
Warning to PeopIe-vaeeinatlon
VIII Prevent.

Austin, Tex, Aug. ii.-Unsanitary
conditions are named as the cause Of
typhoid fever In a warning to Texans
issued recently by Ralph Steiner,
statO Health Officer. in which he
says: But one germ can cause ty.
phold fever and that is the typhoid
bacillus. Before II can cause the dis.
ease II must be swallowed and pass
the lntestines. Every person who has
typhoid previously has swallowed un'
wholesome food or water.
"The typhoid germ is carried by
the fly. which unsanitary conditions
breed. Do not let sewage mix with
surface soil or seep into wells, springs
creeks or rivers. Screen all out
houses. barns and stables and keer
them free OF manure.
Vaccination absolutely will prevent
typhoid. and It is safe and sane and
simple"

WHAT OUR NEIGHBORS SAY,
THE REPORT AND THE NORMAL
SCHOOLS.
From the Bennington Banner.)

Nf rom the ioennlrSlon ipdnneT.J
Though the report of the committee
docs not say so, 1t is probably true that
political exigencies have been chiefly re-
sponsiblc for the survival TO the present
day of the normal schools at CaStleton
and Johnson. 1t has long been believed
by the public men of the State and
educators that these schools were not
worth their cost, but still no public ON
cial has as yet had the courage squarely
to say So or to attempt to correct the
abuse. The votes of those who belonged
in the vicinity of these schools Were
wanted.-Windsor Journal.
The writer of the foregoing is either
newcomer in Vermont or nus memory
is short. Look over the report of the
commission of which Frank l.. Greene,
present congressman from the first dis
trict. was . member a few years ago.
Then read the reports of the present
superintendent of education for the past
dozen to twenty years. Also study the
bills introduced into the Legislature in
1908 and 1910 and read the reports of the
hearings on those bills The Journal is
thoughtlessly or cnrelessly unfair TO a
good many public men In Vermont in the
statement that 1t makes.
