Thus 1850 lives a year would be
saved in the United States and 3l5,-
900 persons prevented from having
the disease.
Typhoid germs are spread largely
in the discharges from the human
body and the spread Of the disease IS
due largely to ca~relesSness, and IN
hygenic modes Of living.
In the summer typhoid fever par
t~icularly is to be dreaded because at
that 81 city folk by the thou
sands flock to the country and con.
tract the disease because of the IN.
sanitary conditions only too often
found in rural places.
Typhoid fever is a selflimited dis
ease. If the patient does not die. the
body reacts against the invading
germs with the production OF anti,
bodies which limit the disease TO d
variable number OF weeks, after which
recovery takes place and the germs
as a general rule, disappear from the
body.
This fact led to the discovery in re.
cent years that by injecting under the
skin a small quantity OF dead typhoid
germs or culture of known strength.

Grain and Produce.

CHICAGO. July 21.-Producers of
wheat In Illinois were liberal sellers OF
that grain today on bids from Chicago,
Cash handlers believe that sales by
growers In other states also would
have been liberal had they been pre-
pared to ship the grain as early as
wanted. Wheat will soon come IN
enormous quantities because it has
been greatly delayed in being prepar
Cd for shipment and farmers will force
Il 70 market.
The wheat market displayed some
~Btubbernness because OF the buying OF
futures, amounting possibly to $4,000
bushels in the Chicago market. and
purchases Of 1,250,000 bushels OF cash
wheat In all positions for export. The

instructive and interesting chapter in
the annals of government railroad
management The plan for a new

government. The Grand Trunk Pa
cific Railway was to build the line from
Winnipeg west TO Prince Rupert,
which has recently been put IN oper-

the line from MoucIon to Winnipeg
By an agreement of July %, 1903, the
eastern division after its construction
according to government specifications
was to be leased TO the Grand Trunk
