There is an epidemic Of typhoid
fever at Terril. At the last report
there was eleven cases, and some Of
them are very serious. There has
been search made for the cause, and
It Is thought the entire trouble can be
traced to eating raw oysters. It Is
said every case reported can be traced
to one consignment OF these bivalves.
There seems to be no danger where
the oysters are thoroughly cooked, but
considerable danger In the eating of
raw oysters. Up to date there have
been no deaths at Terri from typhoid.

records being so excellent as to induce
him to become a professional, Mr.. Dun
can distinguished himself as a writer
on the STAFF of the Physical Culture
Magazine and was associated with the
famous McFadden Physical Culture
Health Home as physical director. Later

During all the years which Mr. Duncan

name as an actor kept forcing itself to
the fore until finally he fell and became

Mack Scnnett at keystone is some

perfect models Zeppelins, aeroplanes,
railway trains. terminals and bridges. AZ
