THE AFTER-EFFIaCTS
 OF TYPHOID FEVER.

We know the number of deaths
 from typhoid fever during the acute
 stage of the disease, the number of
 persons fncapacitated as a result of
 typhoid, and the financial loss to the community. But the after-effects on those who have survived have not been considered A study of 1547
 eases of typhoid fever in 1911 in the visiting nurse service of the Metro politan Life Insurance Company shows that one hundred and forty six of the patients died while under treatment, death rate of 9.28 per
 hundred. The principal complications in the fatal cases were intestinal per-
 foration and hemorrhage., meningitis, pneumonia and heart involvement. Of the 1,428 who recovered from the immediate results of the disease, tn e death rate during the first three years was 54, or nearly twice the normal
 death rate of 26 for similar group of persons who had not had typhoid. This increased rate was not uniform | for all three years, being greatest during the first year following re- covery, less during the second year, and still less the third.
 As a cause of death among the l fifty-four patients who died within ] the three years following recovery, 1 tuberculosis heads the list (39 per 1 cent.), with diseases of the heart fol- l towing ( l4.S per cenLJ, m LKle unit l ed States each year, 5000 deaths oc-

HALF A MILLION
FREIGHT CARS TO
HANDLE LARGE CROP

| Crookston, MINI, Sept. 17.-Half
million freight cars will be needed
to handle the grain crop now being
threshed throughout this great north
| west. .....
The railroads already have we'll
under way the task of gathering in
the idle cars and placing them at
points where they may be sent with
the least delay to the stations where
they are most needed.
It is estimated the Great Northern
alone will use $4,000 cars while the
Northern Pacific, the Milwaukee, the
500 Line and other roads tapping the
grain belt will increase the number
to what may prove a record figure
North Dakota will absorb large
proportion of these cars since from
that state will be shipped about As
per cent of the Northwestern output.
The Red River valley of Minnesota,
South Dakota and Montana also will
make large demands on the railroads
and it is expected by railroad men
that within few weeks practically
all of the rolling stock in the coun-
try will be moving.

of the Grain Bulletin, published in
Minneapolis, was before the state
railway and warehouse commission,
to answer charges that his report
published barley ! standards which
were in violation of the law placing
in the hands of the state the fixing
of such standards. J. C. McHugh Of
the chamber of commerce and num-
Der of other grain men were in at
tendance at the conference.
The meeting was really for the pur-
pose Of finding out if such standards
were being used and to what extent.
Mr.. Durand and the grain men,
however, denied that such standards
were in conflict with the law. They
said, because of the absence of dock
age, which enters into the fixing Of
standards for other cereals, the hand
ling of barley was rather difficult and
for the convenience of buyer and
seller method of grading had been
established. The commission took
the matter under advisement.

Honor to MoIlie Pitcher.
(Philadeiphia Press. )

Nothing could be more appropriate in this year of grace than the pro- pcsal, favorably reported to the sem ate at Harrisburg, for monument at Carlisle to Mol1ie Pitcher. An ap- propriation for $10,000 to honor the memory of this revolutionary heroine is recommended by the committee. Legend which is accepted as authen- tic has crowned this militant wife of a patriotic soldier with unfading laurels.
 Daughters of the revolution and other societies have long favored this recognition of. Mollie Pitcher. Her husband, according to one version of the story, was a gunner at the battle of Monmouth, and she was on the field as a water carrier. That engage ment, so strenuously contested, was fought under such intense heat that many soldiers on both sides suc- cumbed under the sun's rays. An un- precedented explosion of Washingtons S wrath, directed against Gen. Lee, was another exciting incident of the day, which history has recorded
 Mollie Pitchers husband vas shot down, whereupon she took his place at the battery and served his can non in his stead. Her bravery a nd activity in the battle are celebrated in song, story and picture. Just how, when the state of her birth is con sidering the question of granting votes to women and when the greatest war in history brings military virtue to the forefront, it seems right that a military heroine of the gentler sex should be publicly honored. For Mol lie Pitcher rendered a mans service to the pariot cause in the revolution ary war.

Calumet, Mich, May 1s.-A nolle prosequi was entered yesterday in the case against President C. H. Mover and thirty-seyen other officials of the Western Federation of Miners, indict- ed on charges of conspiracy by the Houghton county grand jury a year ago as a result of alleged acts of vio- 1ence said to have been committed at the direction of the defendants dur ing the copper strike.
 The order was made by Judge F. H. O'Brien in the Earaga county cir cult court at L'Anse on motion of Prosecutor w. J. Galbraith of Hough- ton county.
 The prosecutor said: 'The strike has established in this community certain fundamental facts and prin- ciple and this conduct. leadership and subsequent events have thoroughly discredited the imported mercenary agitators and the gospel of class hatred
 The decision to drop the prosecu- tion was said to have been one of the first decisions of the new county ad- ninistration elected last autumn.

Leaders of parties in sev- eral countries have had their lives endangered or taken by the hand of the fiend Italy is a caldron of seeth- ing humanity although none of the Italians have as yet resorted to ex- treme violence. Most Of the dif1cul- ties may be traced back to the i'm fluence of the war and the demand of to be involved therein. This is par ticularly true of Italy.

Two Clubmen Eat Crow.
Philadelphia Record.)

Crow---a big, fat bird of the fa- rniliar variety that haunts cornfields in autumn-was eaten last night at the Parker House, Burlington, by two
 mem bers of the University club, am. d popping of hrecrackers, explosion of
 bombs and catankerous actions of 8 goat submarine.'
 These two unhappy members of the
 club were obliged to masticate and swallow every morsel of meat on that acrid, horrible bird, all because of failure of the Germans to keep their boast to be in Paris by last Christ
 mas.
 The men-William Absolom and John F. Spotts of Burlington, wno backed the boast of the Teutons--- l were game losers. They were on the spot last night determined to eat the crow or choke.
 To make the ordeal more tryins, twelve other members sat. nearby anI regaled themselves with wine ana. good eats while Absolom ard l Spotts, faces ghastly, tackled tne ! crow. I's l Each sawed off a portion of the l bird, and, eyes shut, c1reWed violent l ly. l Absolom was biting vic1ously at the 1 breastbone and Spotts was worrying a l wing, when a goat was turned loos4. 1 Ii wore 8 placard with the words, l German submarine U-14."
 The goat seemed to know where to so. It charged the crow-eaters' ] table, but ,Absolom and Spotts seized ! tho animal and hustled it out of the room. They were just finishing the crow when a bomb exploded under 1 the table, but the two young men 1 had now become used to warlike n1ea- l sures and finished the bird.

Jitncy and Trolley.
(Toronto Star.)

The city auditor reports a decline of s100,2S7 in the receipts of the Tor onto Street Railway company in the first four months of the year.
 This is largely due to the operation of jitneys. Perhaps there would have been quite 8 falling off in receipts in any case, owing to unemployme and the necessity many people have been under of practicing every small economy possible.
 The jitneys, however have had a marked effect on the business of the company in Toronto, and elsewhere. In the city of Providence the autos took during April an average of s2,S33 per day out of the receipts of the street car company. The same thing Is occurring in hundred cities.
 Tn and around Toronto the titneys are having the effect of causing the trolleys to show some concern for public convenience. For years the service on the line to Lam bton .MilIs has been quite inadequate. Small, old cars bumped over sssneglected track at intervals of half san hour. After being unable to get. on one car 1t sometimes happened that people. after walt of thirty minutes, were again crowded off the next one. Many have had tu walk the two miles in to where the city cars start. The jitneys cnine along and the trolley service has spruced up. The com phny he'd not been operating cars on Sunday. This was not owing to re. iigious serupies because they put them en at once when the jitneys entered tho field. The jitneys, too. put in an appearance at the city end of the Lake Shore road, and en Sat- tirday last the trolley began giving a twenty .frainute service to Port Credit

navy are presumably capable or siV- ing a good account of themselves II they should be fortunate enough to se-
 cure an advantageous position in pat tie. If the enemy will approach them, they will stand him off. But tf1ey cannot pursue and overtake him. They
 cannot choose their range, but must fight according to the wishes of their
 faster enemy. In a long running fight the enemy could literally make circles around the American fleet.
 Another vital fact in connection
 with naval defense is this: The United States has no submarines that will { compare in size and efficiency with
 those of Germany. The coasts of the United States are not guarded by submarines as they should be. The greatest danger from American sub
 marines is to their own crews, as was lamentably illustrated in the loss of l the F-4 -'','.
 As to the army. the lack of mo- bile force of sufficient size to protect
 the coast Notifications Is apparent. An American army authority has just d. rected atention to the efficiency of the Turkish army in defending the ! Dardanelles. If the Turks had not l interposed mobile land force against
 the allies, the British and French landing parties by this time would
 have captured the forts which the bat tie fleet failed to silence. Constan tinople has been saved thus far by the Turkish army, which has pre- vented the capture of the forts from the rearward.
 American seaport cities are not de- tended as well as Constantinople, and there Is no land force to protect the coast forts. A hostile navy coul1 land immense numbers of soldiers al
 most anywhere along the coast, adja- cent to Notifications, and could cap ture the forts defending New York, San Francisco. or any other Amerl- can port.
 These facts are sufficient cause fo' the immediate assem- bling of congress
 for the purpose of providing for the
 national defense.
