Cases of typhoid fever are reported
in different parts of New England, but
fortunately there are none in the locaf
field. Many people will develop ty-
phoid this fall from drinking water
that is not wholesome, either from
small brooks, from the contaminated
water supply at summer resorts or from
the badly located wells Of farm houses.
1t is seldom that typhoid develops from
the waters which come from the regu-
lar supplies of towns or cities Scien-
title knowledge of the danger of us
ing water without finding out before
hand where it comes from and what
drains, into it, has advanced far, bat
popular recognition of the danger has
not kept pace So we pay the annual
typhoid toll.

Germany has simply asked that

for the reason that the commander Of
the submarine which fred the fatal shot
has not made his report. The Washing

further move will be made until the
German government has had time to
reply. At the same time the dispatches
represent President Wilson as having
determined to sever relations with Ger

of the American survivors and will dis

as far from a stable government as
ever and Secretary of state Lansing,
after announcing Obregon's victory,
admitted that a conference between
himself and President Wilson might
yet be necessary before the President
returns from his vacation at Cornish.
This was taken to mean telephone

the effect that conference by wire had

The Administration, aside from the
demands of the President that the two

The first is the demand that food be

Allan Mallory, an American, near
Puebla, several days ago. Neither
