TRADE COMMISSION TO
ISSUE PRACTICE RULES
Methods Of Dealing With Cases Com.
ing Before Body Will
Be Fixed.

AS preliminary to the beginning Of
actual work. the federal trade commits
sion will issue this week it's rules Of prac-
tice, under which the numerous cases
coming before 1t will be dealt with The
commission is making a careful study Of
conditions that the rules may be abso-
lutely fair. and cover all possible con-
tingencies. Consideration of the hundreds
of complaints already filed will not begin
until the practice has been settled upon
In considering its practice the commits
sion Is taking up the question Of making
public complaints received against the
corporations. So far none of the COM
plants filed has been published. No de-
cision has been reached on the question
OF making public informal complaints
prior to their consideration.
Possible Evil Results Seen.
Under the act creating the commission
complaints Of unfair competition are to
be taken up formally only when its In
tervention would be "fn the interest Of the
public" 1t has been argued that until
the commission has decided to intervene
in such case, publicity would open an
avenue for the use of the commission as
means Of business blackmail, and would
oner INSCRIPTIONS business men an op-
portunity to circulate unfounded and
damaging charges against competitors.
For this reason 1t may decide to make
public complaints only after they have
been so far Investigated as to allow a de-
cision as to whether hearings should be
ordered.

Consent.

NEW YORK. June 16.-Miss Mona

deaux on the Rochambeau with her
friend. Miss Katherine Britton of
Washington. D. c.. says that she ex-
poets to return to hospital work in
France if she can get her fathers per-
mission.
Miss McAdoo had been attached to
the American Ambulance Hospital at
Neuilly, near Paris, and appeared to be
very much annoyed at cabled reports
that she had resigned because the work
was menial
Those reports We're untrue" Miss
McAdoo continued. -Four months con-
tinuous service is as much as the av-
erage woman can stand in the hosp1-
tails without a rest. 1t is better for the
nurses and the wounded that there
should be relays of attendants. The
nurses are not asked to do cleaning
work. as there are plenty of scrub
women and orderlies. l am very glad
TO get home again for a rest, but !
expect to return to the hospital work
If can get my fathers permission. The
only reason that l came back now was
that papa sent for me-"
Near the Fighting Line.
Miss McAdoo said that her most ex-
citing experience in France was when
she was sent as a nurse near the fight
ing line at Tracy lie Mont. There she
saw the firing from the trenches and
the effect of the German shells when
they exploded inside the French lines.
Miss McAdoo told of the work of the
American ambulance, and said the
American contingent is doing wonder
full work in caring for the i'll and
wounded. 1t is small unit in big
work, but Americans can turn proudly
to the accomplishments of the little
body of helpers. she said.
Miss McAdoo sailed for France last
January on the Lusitania with Miss

.aaudE

TIME last day for filing certificates
for State and county offices was
Tuesday, August oath, and by
referring to a list published elsewhere in
THE CITIZEN. an idea can be gained of
the class Of men who are soliciting your
support to have their names placed upon
the official ballot this fall. Both sides
are very well balanced as far as numbers
are concerned. and no one should have
any difficulty in selecting men from the
above list amply qualified to carry out
the duties of their office. 1t shows
healthy state Of public affairs when men
aspire to public office, and it is as little
as the electorate can do to show appre-
citation BY coming out in force on the
day Of the Primary and selecting a good
ticket. Then after the Primary fight is
over let all good Democrats get to-
gether and back up the selections made
by the people. There viii be disap-
pointments of course. for all can not be
nominated, bur after a fair fight, the
yanquished mist. ike true sports. give
their hearty support to the victors.
That is party loyalty and party regular
ity, and is Sanctioned by years Of usage.
1t will only be a short campaign from
the primaries to the election, or in other
words, about six weeks. aud much will
necessarily have to be done TO round up
the forces and present strong front to
the enemy. 1t viii be no small fight,
and great credit will result if a glorious
victory is achieved. as the Republicans
viii put up a strong front, and having
an advantage so far on the general reg
istration Of several hundred voters, they
necessarily occupy a very slaunch POSI-
ton. The Democratic party however
can repeat the great victory they won
two years ago by standing together
shoulder to shoulder, and refusing 10 be
misled or separated by petty quarrels
amongst individuals or over party plat
forms aud propositions, and by going
into the tight determined to win at all
hazards 1t is a very important contest,
anu the people interests ale vitality at
stake. a strong ticket nominated at
the Primaries viii help very much to
bring out the voters and secure victory
for the candidates and the party.

Fever Gases Due to Water.

Showing conclusively that water
in county wells is impure, as recent
Investigations revealed, more than an
ordinary number of typhoid fever
cases have developed in this county.
County Health officer DR.. Ralph
Browning, of Myersville, when called
by a reporter for The Frederick Post
last evening, said that 10 cases OF the
disease had been reported for August
to date. This is just two more cases
than were reported during the whole
month of August of last year. Six
days yet remain in this month and
there is a likelihood that more cases
of typhoid will be reported. DR..
Browning said, however, that there
was nothing like an epidemic. The
majority of the cases can be traced
directly to impure water.
In a casual conversation with re-
porter for The Frederick Post in
early summer Dr. Browning said that
farmers could remove with little ex-
pense to themselves all conditions
that tend to pollute their drinking
water. He said that few county res
idents made little effort to remove
these conditions and as result quite
large number of typhoid cases could
be expected in late summer.
Samples of water have been taken
from quite few county wells with
the result that impurities have been
found. q
The typhoid cases reported by Dr.
Browning yesterday are in the coun-
ty, not in Frederick. No report
could be secured for Frederick yes
terday.
Three typhoid patients have been
taken to Montevue hospital. Deputy
Sheriff James A Jones yesterday
took negro woman suffering with
typhoid to Montevue hospital.
A dispatch from Washington says:
Elimination of typhoid fever within
period of Is years as a serious
menace to the nations health is pre-
dicted by the United States Public
Health Service. 1t is declared that
"if immunization attains the general
recognition that smallpox prevention
has obtained, typhoid fever will be a
rare disease by 1880, and many of
the physicians of today will live to
see the time when the infection will
be no longer common"
Employees of the government, both
in Washington and in the field, have
been very anxious to obtain the i'm
munization treatment and have pop
ularized it greatly. A circular issued
by the Treasury Department telling
where immunization may be obtained
has proved to be very much sought
after. At least 100000 persons were
lmmunized in 1914 and it is expected
that the total for 1915 will be about
100000.
During the four months of 1889
there were more than 1000 cases of
typhoid among 10000 soldiers en-
camped in Florida" observes the
Public Health Service; Gin 1911
among 10000 similarly encamped
there were but two cases. If such
a degree of immunity can be harm
lessly conferred upon a body of men
living under adverse conditions and
whose age renders them susceptible.
the conclusion is that protection can
Just as easily be afforded ordinary
citizens"
