 during 1914 over 100000 persons l throughout the country were iMmu- | nizei and it is believed that in 1915 th. number will exceed 300,000. In 1 four counties of North Carolina, where campaigns are now being con ducted, it is estimated that 10000 lpeople will be immunized.

July i'm posts totaled $143,O99,62O this year, against $159.677,291 year ago. July exports were the largest ever recond- ed for that month, being for this year S267 ,97S, ,99O, compared with $15413S,- SAT for July, 1914, and $160,a90.77s for July, 1918, when the month made q new high record.
 Of the July, 1915, imports GAG per cent entered free of duty, against 5a.2 per cent in July last year.
 During the seven nnonths ending with July, imports this year totaled $1,00S, ,909,441 against $1,140,5 ,592,379 in 1914, a decrease of 11.6 per cent while exports aggregated $1,a69.7s7,- 4s5, against $1.20O 9s2, ,162 in 1914. a gain of e4 per cent.

 It is believed that more widespread recognition of the benefits conferred by anti-typhoid immunization will have an immediate effect upon the morbidity and mortality rates for the disease. As result of sanitary measures alone the death rate from typhoid has been cut ill half during the last fifteen years; what has been done in fifte2n years of sanitation can be accomplished in as many weeks with inoculation. It is conceiv- able, if immunization attains the general recognition that small poX prevention has secured, and there is no reason why such acceptance should not be accorded it, that ty- phoid will be a rare disease by 1880 This Teans that even many of the older physicians of today will live to see the time when the infection will no longer be cpminon.
 One point must be considered In making such a prognostication JAS immunity is ccnftrred the necessity for imInunization becomes less ap- parent to the general public, and the method will to certain extent be ne glected. This is the situation as re- gards smallpox in the country today and for this very reason the disease will persist until universal immuniza- ,ion is practised. Therefore, even witn perfect methods, the entire eli imitation of the disease is not to be looked for
