HOOSIER PASTOR
SNUBS FAIRvIEW
Rev. MIR. Velander Leaves for
Alexis and Fairview Is
Without Minister.

Fairview church is a country cross
roads edifice in. the vicinity OF Gene
SEQ. Until recently it had pastor and
held services every Sunday with good
attendance Rev. G. +. Velander, who
has had charge of the church, was
called to Alexis. ILL.,, to assume charge
of larger pastorate there. The Fair
view church members therefore called
upon a minister who resides in South
ern Indiana and the United Brethren
conference at Bloomington assigned
this pastor to the Fairview charge.
Upon investigating, however, the min
lister from the Hoosier state refused to
journey to Fairview and assume his
new duties for reasons which have not
been made known. Therefore Fair
view, one of the strongest country
churches in the state, is without.a pas
tor and has no immediate prospects of
securing one.

HEALTH DOCTOR
WARNS CITIZENS
DR.. Perry Vessel in Official
Statement, Tells How to
Avoid Typhoid.

DR.. Perry Vessel. city health physi-
clan, has given out the following warn
ing to Moline citizens regarding ty-
phoid fever:
Typhoid fever is a disease brought
about by the growth OF small germs
in our digestive system. These germs
are so small that they can be seen
only through the miscrope. They are
then seen to be very active, moving
about rapidly in all directions.
Typhoid excretia may pollute the
drinking water or the water used in
preparing uncooked foods. The con
tents of poorly constructed sewers,
draining water left on the ground may
produce the evils. The many typhoid
epidemics that are brought about by
drinking water containing refuse,
shows how easy IL is for our water
supplies TO become uncle1n. But when
ever an efficient system of water puri-
fication is installed the typhoid death
rate is greatly lowered. Every citi-
zen, therefore. has a right 10 demand
a pure supply of drinking water.
Food Is a frequent means by which
germs of typhoid fever gain entrance
into the intestines of the victims. This
is especially true of foods eaten raw.
Typhoid fever cases have often been
traced to oysters fatteneG in polluted
streams or TO vegetables soaked in or
sprinkled with unclean water. Par
ticular care should be taken in pre-
pairing vegetable salads for the table
In order to insure perfect safety all
foods should be cooked before eating"

The same article told of the capture OF
two of the convicts at Moline.
Upon reading this article in the Chi
cago papers the Moline police were
sorely vexed for they had not captured
the two convicts as the story stated
and did not want to take the credit for
doing so. Investigation was made and
facts brought to light. The two es-
capped convicts were captured at Mo-
nee, Ill. and the similarity of the two
names, coupled with the fact that Mo-
nee does not occupy a very prominent
place on the map led to the mistake.
