WOULD PREVENT TYPHOID.
100000 Federal Employees Are Urg-
cd to be Naccinatcd Against Dread

movement is now on foot to
have all federal employees vacinnated
against typhoid fever. This will he
an army Of 100000 men and women.
Secretary of the Treasury W. G. Nc
AdOO has designated 164 stations in
the United States where any federal
employee may be given the treatment
free of all cost.
Reckoning the period of immunity
for four years, and basing the calcula-
tiOns upon what has already been ac-
complished, the secretary sees where
the compliance with this offer will
save 300 lives from periods of invalid
ism. The records show that six fed
eral employees die each month from
typhoid fever. There are 20 new va
cancies to be filled every year due to
this one disease alone. AS most cases
follow the vacation season, special
emphasis is given the importance of
icing vaccinated before the vacation
season begins.

OLANTA PICNIC HELD SATURDAY
Large Crowd Attends-SenatOr Smith
Talks OH Present Crisis.

Florence Times.
The veterans annual picnic which
has done so much toward putting Oh
anita on the map was held Saturday
and was a most delightful affair. The
crowd there was variously estimated
at from three to four thousand peo-
pie. Senator Ellison d. Smith was
the speaker, this being the home Of
Senator Smiths boyhood he was
greeted by large number. His
speech was fine. After paying a trib-
ute to the veterans and discussing the
causes of war the Senator referred to
his favorite theme, cotton. He said
that he had been criticised for keep
ing silent on this subject, but went on
to explain that the trouble was due to
the seas being tied up in such a man
ner that it was impossible to get our
commerce across to other countries.
He said that the country was facing
a great crisis, and if war was declar-
ed conditions would be a great deal
worse than what they were, because
every American port would be tied
up and commerce would be practical
ly paralyzed. The United States con-
sidered it Of first Importance to reck-
on with Germany in regard to neutral
rights. After that question had 0een
settled the next step would be TO
make England open the seas to our
commerce.
Another impressive feature Of the
day was the Playlet put on by con-
sent of the veterans, entitled: Dame
South Carolina out for Prohibition"
Uncle Sam and Aunt Columbia" be-
ing represented by 1. NJ. Gamble and
Miss Rosalie Wall. This was under
the supervision of Mrs. r. D. Cannon
Of the Scranton w. c. T. U.
The recitation of Miss Johnson en-
titled Dying Soldier was much en-
joyed.
