State Health Board
 Urges Tyhus Vaccine

Hartford, May 15.@Timely suggss- tions on the cause and prevention of typhoid fever and few words on the mosquito nuisance are given in the monthly bulletin of the state board of health issued by pr. Townsend, the secretary, today:
 It is a significant fact" says Dr. Townsend, @tthat typhoid fever is most prevalent at the season of the year when flies are most numerous. This insect breeds by preference on the sta- ble manure, but when this is not easily accessible they will breed also in gar bage and other filth. With cleaner streets, better care of stables, back yards and markets. and cleaner gar bage cans, the breeding places of flies will be limited and their agency in carrying typhoid fever and other ba- cilli to food of human beings will be largely removed
 Meanwhile, the screening of win dows is not a, luxury, but is as neces- sary as the roof on the house
 Persons going to unfamiliar local ities where they will be subject to the danger of typhoid infection, should protect themselves by anti-typhoid vaccina ton. This in healthy persons Is a harmless procedure and confers almost absolute immunity against in lection, lasting for at least three years It's efficiency has again been demon SlIdCSo HI Cu6 present EIT0p6an war as well as during the recent occupancy in Vera, Cruz by the United States troops
 In regard to mosquitoes, Dr. Town send says it should not be forgotten that most of our city mosquitoes breed 1 in the locality in which they are found Wet grass will attract the insects but it is not a breeding place They pre-. fer small pools of water, such as rafr water collected in broken vessels, tiI cans, rain barrels broken bottles and pools on badly sagged roofs

ZEE BATTLE OF WOMAN.

Her battles are fought with a silent
strength;
She comes from them bringing the
sun,
She lifts from her shadows, illumined
at length,
And the right in her soul hath won,
She takes her thought and she takes
her care,
And her problems of right and
wrong,
And when she comes out from her
battle and prayer
She is holy and sweet and strong.
Her nameless and terrible questions
rise,
They are sacred as any trust;
And when she has answered there's
in her eyes
No atom of doubt or dust,
She has fought for the sight to see
Alright,
She has tried for strength to fecl;
And when she is there in her closet
to fight
She is there not to struggle. but
kneel.
She will suffer and yield and do her
part,
She win give all duty may mean;
But she fights the battle of life in
her heart,
Where the battles are fought un-
seen,
And when she comes forth from a
struggle with self,
She comes with a light on her face,
That shows she has prayed and isn't
afraid,
And has won by the light of grace.

or not he will bring the prisoner for
whom he went to Chicago, re-
main to be seen. In the wire which
he sent to friend, he did not mention
whether he had the prisoner with him
or not.
The prisoner, however, some two or
three days ago, wired to a local at
torney asking the latter to look after
his interest at Pensacola, and to ar
range bond, returnable within a few
days. This is taken to mean that he
is accompanying Constable Jones, and
the fight for his liberty, which he had
waged through the means of a writ
of habeas corpus, had ended unfav-
orably, at least as far as he was con-
cerned.
The Pensacola official has remained

sistance, and extended his stay in
the Windy City about one week
longer than he had anticipated.

FOR MISS zELIus.

Very lovely in its decorations and
its spirit of hospitality was the
courtesy paid Miss Florida Zelius
on Wednesday evening, when Mrs. F..
o. Click entertained in her honor at
the home of Miss Minnie Read, North
Barcelona street.
Miss Reeds hospitality took the
form of a miscellaneous shower and
the details were most delightfully."-
carried out. The color tone in pink
and white were reflected in the flow
ers and menu, and palms and greenery
gave a pretty touch of contrast.
There were three very interesting
contests for the amusement of the
guests, the prize winners and trophies
being as follows:
Miss Zelius, first prize-winner in
cracker contest, a decorated plate;
vegetable courtship, first prize, Miss
Dinple Mcmillan, two crepe de chine
handkerchiefs; button-hole contest,
Miss Minnie Read won the first prize,
a thimble.
The gifts were presented to the
young bride-elect by Gussie, the
young son of Mr.. and Mrs F. o.
Click, who was very handsome in a
little sailor suit, and made this
charming little speech:
"Miss Florida Zelirs, present you
with this slight token-a gift from
each of the beautiful ladies and hope
that each gift win bring you all the
Joy a bride could wish"

WHEN BACHELORS CHANGE
THEIR MINDS.

THEIR MINDS.
"Sigh no more, ladies, sigh no more.
Men were deceivers, ever;
One foot in sea and one on shore,
To one thing constant never"
I used to be under the impression
that very few bachelors would ever
marry. But IN this respect have
changed my mind. It is my belief
that never yet was a man so sure
of his powers for unloving who lived
all of his years without some
romance.
He may never have had proof that
he had a heart for some one until he
was aroused to the consciousness by
its sudden loss. Up to that hour of
awakening he supposed he was enjoy
ing his solitary existence immensely.
There is no use to call his attention
to his careless opinion when he hus-
ties to the breakfast, with collar and
necktie on he had worn for days.
No one he would have to answer to
if she was in quarrelsome mood and
accused him of plunging at races, ex-
travagance in automobile treats,
whirling through space in airships,
and all that she fancied kept pace
with his restless nature.
The jolly bachelor is not mystery
to those who observe him, yet ondy
know him from afar-a puzzle as
they imagine him to be. More than
one suspects that his heart has been
pretty we'll pierced by loves flaming
arrows. Like a public conveyance,
there is always supposed to be room
for one more. Bachelors have been
known to call and have a friendly
little chat with former sweethearts
once in a great while, but he don't
care to marry any of those who
sthuck his fancy so that he was al
most sure he would be happy if he
popped the question.
After breaking off with few who
claimed his steady attention, he feels
that he is not half the gay, sought
after man the would-be "catch" of
the fair sex that he thought himself
to be. His opinion of himself has gone
down. He takes extra precautions
not to show his heart wounds to the
unfeeling world. He is sure to be
watched with pardonable curiosity
when he is brought IN contact with
the single of the fair sex. Habit is
everything with the bachelor, from
being free lance, angled for by
fair women. More than one pretty

BETTER BABIES PARADE
ON SATURDAY.

The weather promises to be fine by
Saturday and as there will be no
school to keep little folks late for the
Better Babies parade, many are plan
ming to attend.
It is hoped that all who had planned
to take part in the parade will do so
on Saturday, for it will be very
fortunate little girl or boy who wins
the five dollar gold pieces offered by
the Rotary Club, one to go to the
prettiest and the other to the car
riage most unique in It's decorations.
1t is not necessary to have new car
riage or go-cart, in order to enter
this parade. Anything that runs on
wheels may be used and splendid eff
fects may be obtained with chiN1ren's
express wagons. The decoration of
the baby which is what counts in the
parade.
Any children five years and under
may enter their carriages, and any
small children who wish to march
with them may do so. Entries should
be<telephoned today to Mrs. Ingra-
ham without fail. Even if you do not
care to compete for the prizes, if you
wish your baby to join the procession,
do so by all means, for this is Better
Baby day. The management felt
very baby about the weather, but the
parade and contest will certainly take
place on Saturday if the weather is
fair, and the weather man is very
encouraging in his prophecies.
