One afternoon in the trenches an Irish
soldier discovered that the man on his
right was wearing a beautiful pair of
boots.
''how did you manage to get hold of
them?' he asked, enviously. "a pres
ent from an officer, suppose?"
The Englishman smiled.
II stole out of the trench last night,
he answered, in whisper, "and ! found
the boots on German killed.
The Irishman became thoughtful, and
that night he disappeared.
Early the next morning he staggered
back INTO the trenches carrying pair of
boots. Making for his friend he whis-
pered bitterly to him:

One of the methods of communicating
from one officer TO another in the trenches
of the present great war is to give the
message to one of the privates and tell
him to ''pass the word along" the line
until it reaches its destination, viz, the
officer at the other end. The following
story will show how serious message
can be distorted on its journey from
mouth to mouth.
Lieutenant "A, in charge of one end of
the British line. told the private in front
to ''pass the word along" to Lieutenant
B. 1--WE are going to advance, can you
send US reinforcements?"
When Lieutenant B received the mes
sage it was like this: "We are going to
dance, can you lend US three and four
pence?''

Courts are reluctant to reverse jury
verdicts in criminal cases. The su.

especially adverse to establishing pre-.
cedents that might cause a flood of
appeals and destroy the effectiveness
with which cases Of a purely local
aspect are settled by state courts.
But the Frank case was an excep-

FITTING CLIMAX.

By trading off the Mayo $500, 900
foundation fund for a law legalizing
t~en.round boxing bouts, the Minpo'
sofa legislature brought its sessions
to a fitting close.
1t goes down into history as n of
the poorest law making bodies since
statehood.
The medical fraternity which now
dominates the clinics at the Univer-
sity thought the control would slip
from them were this utilization with
the great hospital at Rochester per-
mitted. This is merely another exam
pie of Professional ibigotry.
All bigots are not dead nor are they
confined to the churches.
There was nothing selfish in the
Mayo offer. The character of the de-
bate in the Minnesota Senate reflect
ed the narrow view which the legis.
lators took.
That the anti.Mayo measure was
passed in close association with the
bill legalizing boxing bouts gives well
grounded suspicion that some unholy
trade vas effected. To many legis.
lators prize fighting presented a more
vital issue than creating a founda.
ton for the medical school of the
University of Minnesota that would
have attracted students from all over

TYPHUS IN SERBIA.

Typhus fever in Poland and Serbia
has developed under the favoring in.
hrences of war into an epidemic
which may require the services of the
worlds greatest sanitarians before it
is checked. A number of American
Red Cross physicians and nurses and
numerous European physicians have
died while at work in the affected
countries. In such epidemics the NOR.
tality of the disease may reach SO per
cent. Physicians everywhere should
be prepared to recognize it, not on!!y
IN its severe forms, but also in the
mild forms which are not infreQuent
in many American cities.
The recent developments in orr
knowledge of the etiology and trans
mission of this disease have been
largely due to American investiga.
tons. Its mode of transmission has
been worked out so that we are able
to take reasonably efficient measures
for its prevention. The disease Is
communicated by the body louise and
probably also by the head louise. This
fact explains the decrease of the dan
ger of infection when the patient was
removed to a hospital and the great
danger to attendants in tepidemfcs.
Typhus fever formerly vas preva-
lent in epidemics, being known under
the names of Jail fever, camp fever,
ship fever, famine fever, etc, terms
which indicate its close association
with o%vercrowding and filth. With
the progress Of sanitary science, the
disease decreased until it appeared to
have vanished with the march Of civ.
ilization, especially in this country.
In the United States the disease
has been y Is found u. usually ins ships com
ing into Y seaports,, A mild form
ofS Tho sdisease9has3 been discovered
even IN our farthesst inland cities. The
existence Of this mild form should be
borne in mind not only as explaining
many puzzling cases but also as the
possible source of epidemics.
The prevention Of this disease, says
The Journal of the American Medical
Association, is comparatively simple
1t consists essentially in the destruc
ton Of vermin, the removal of filth
the cleaning of the inhabitants, ant
the prevention Of accumulation o.
waste. With the advent of warn
weather the opportunity for cleanli
ness will be increased and it is to be
hoped the spread Of the disease viii

This is one of the stock argu-

statute seems Of little avail If it
permits the continuance in bust
of known liquor dealers and
admits its inability to prevent the
carrying on Of the traffic. Appar-'
emily, North Dakota knows that
the consignee Of certain liquor
shipments Is a regular dealer and
knows that the railroad knows it.
But with all Of this knowledge the
dealer continues in business and
