KANSAS TO FIGHT TYPHOID
State University Offers "a VaeeInate
Students Against Fever Scourae
Free of Charge.

Free typhoid vaccination is offered
now to students of the University Of
Kansas.
The principle Of the inocculation is
to accustom the system to combating
dead germs so that, when necessary,
it may be fitted to destroy live ones
before they can multiply. An injec-
ton consists of one-tenth of a MILL
gram of powder composed of these
germs suspended in salt solution. In
order to prepare this powder, typhoid
germs are grown on a solid culture
medium for thirty-six hours. At the
end of this time the germs are washed
and sensitized by contact with the
serum from an immunized rabbit. It
is this new feature of the process
which minimiZes the after effects OF
the vaccination. On the following day
the germs are killed with alcohol.
ground and washed.
It is the present custom in the
United States army to Vaccinate for
typhoid every three years. The sta
tistfcs for last year show seven cases
Of typhoid in the army in contrast to
$50 before the time of compulsory vac
cinaticn. No deaths were reported,
while among civilians, twenty on an
average out Of every 100000 die from
this disease.

TURKISH ARMY RANKS NINETEENTH

Turkeys army and navy. are both ranked nine
teenth among the armies and navies Of the world,
the Boston Globe remarks. While her army is
fairly well organized and has war strength Of
100000, which IS only 10000 behind that of Great
Britain, her fleet is practically nonresident. In
fact until 1910 the sultan had Systematically dis
mantled the navy for fear that it would turn
against him as it had turned against his predeces-
sor, Abdul-Aziz
The peace strength of Turkeys army is 100000
She is able to draw upon 900 reserves,
bringing her strength up to 100000. The
population of Turkey is little more than %, 000
0O0 and of this number fully 100000 could be
drawn in of necessity.
Before the regime inaugurated in 1910
military service had been obligatory on all Mus
sulmans, Christians being excluded but under
obligations to pay military exoneration tax Of
$3.50 for every 135 males between the ages OF
fifteen and seventy-fve. Under the new regime
however, all "Ottomans' subject to military
service, although under certain conditions exemp-
ton is purchasable.
Active service In the Turkish army lasts nine
years. OF this the soldiers are three or four
years with the colors and the rest OF the time
they are reserves. In of necessity all males
up to the age of seventy can be called upon to
join the coIors.

sian fleet practically annihilated the Turkish
wooden vessels. The sultan, Abd-uI-Aziz with
the aid Of British officers succeeded in creating
an imposing feet of ironclads constructed in Eng
hsh and French yards, but his successor Abdul
Hamid pursued a settled policy Of reducing the
feet to impoteney. Most of the ships that we're
added were built In American, British OF Italian
yards.
In 1910 it was voted to spend SIS, 600 900 in
rehabilitating the navy. The result is that Tur-
key now has two modern battIeships of the first
class, the Reshad-fHamiss and the Reshad V
both with a 23,o00-ton displacement Besides
these she also has batt1eship of the cruiser
type and three battleships OF the older type She
has two hrstclass cruisers, two secondclass cruis
ers and one thirdclass cruiser. The rest of the
feet IS made up By two gunboats, two monitors

WHY WHEATIS HIGH
War Not the Only Thing Affect
ing the Market at
Present.
WORLD CROP BELOW NORMAL
Dean Jardine of K S. A. c. Believes
South Will Get Most Benefit
From War.

the war in Europe were to stop
tomorrow the price of wheat would
probably stay just as high as it is
dean Of agriculture in the Kansas
State Agricultural College. The world
crop of wheat is below normal and
naturally wheat prices rise.
England, says the dean, is setting
the price of wheat in America just
now because our market is much
closer than the markets of Argentine
or India. France raises 80 per cent
of its wheat
Germany so per cent. Russia ex-
ports wheat, but England imports 30
per cent of its wheat. The acreage
that is being planted this fall is less
than last year and wheat will neces-
sarily remain high. Since other crops
are high, a farmer will not lose be-
cause he raises no wheat.
The war will be of greater benefit
to the South, says Dean Jardine, than
to any other part of the United States
because it will force the southern
planter to abandon his single cropping
system and adopt diversified farming
methods. This will, in the long run,
help the southern farmer
The American stockman, in Profess
sor Jardine's opinion, has the oppor-
tunity Of a lifetime. The war, if it
continues, Will rapidly consume the
reserve foundation of stock in Europe,
and it will give this country chance
to control the market. The Belgium
horse industry has been seriously at
fected and possibly wiped out, in Eu-
rope. The quality of American stock
