Army and Navy.

A very noticeable trend of late
is shown by the practically unan-
imous demand all over the coun-
try for better preparation for
defending the nation.
America needs stronger navy
and larger army and better
equipped than at present.
A militia even though well
trained cannot fulfill the duties OF
standing armies. and much as we
value our citizen soldiers. they
are not an adequate defense tor
the nation. The citizen soldier
cannot cope with the trained
army man. That has been shown
in Europe. Heis a novice in war.

We need a larger standing army
We need large armories and
powder works in the Central
States ard the West. They have
so far been left to the East. They
should be scattered all over the
country.
Our navy should be streng hem
ed We must, at least, have two
fleets, one for the Atlantic and
one for the Pacific and the fleet
streng hened with submarines
and hydro-aeroplanes.
Our country is i'll grave danger
from several points. Our coast
line is great. and ri grea tier navy
is one thing thar is absolutely
necessary. Our fleet, as far as it
goes is good. but our army is too
small. Even little switzerland
has an army nearly twice as large
as our whole standing army.
While not belligerent we should
be prepared for eventualities.
Common prudence dictates better
preparation.

Typhoid Fever.
CAUSES.


The actual cause of Typhoid Fever
is the bacillus of eberth, a rod -shap-
ed active bacterium.
Predisposing causes are numerous,
lowered vitality of the individual
from overwork, poor food or impure
water or other conditions that make
one individual more susceptible than
another. The commonest avenues of
distribution are:
l. Water supply.
2. Milk supply, which is usually
contaminated by the water used to
wash utensils.
3. Uncooked vegetables.
a. Flies.
5. Dust.
In our city water supply | have
had only two occasions to charge up
to it AS being probable source of
typhoid fever. Both times rain
storm has caused freshet near the
source or spring and washed the sur
face of the surroundings into a well
which is a supplementary supply tc
the spring. After each occasion cit
izens have noticed the water come
from the taps muddy. Not all mud
dy water contains typhoid germs, but
it so happens that fever cases devel-
oped in this way two years ago and
again this fall. OF course the system
would exhaust itself in "a hours and
after that time the water is reason
ably pure again. The typhoid germ
can live indefinitely in soil, but not
many days in water exposed to other
germs who are its natural enemies.
The source of our city water supply
and the quality of water is above
comparison if this one opening
could be protected.
PREVENTION.
/. Boiling suspicious water.
2. Cooking all foods.
3. Cleanliness in handling milk
and it's products
4. Proper care of bodily health to
insure highest degree of individual
resistance.
5. Removal of all flies
a. By removing garbage and
manure piles their breed
ing grounds.
B. Screens.
c. Various fly killers.
d. Liberal use Of lime in out
door closets.
6. Proper medical supervision of
recognized cases and care of all ex-
crets. It's the unrecognized cases.
usually mild ones that spread the
diseases.
To summarize-The prevention of
all direct contact with contaminat-
ions on food or indirectly by utensils,
flies, dust, etc. that come in contact
with food.
7. Typhoid vaccine.
This product is now beyond expert
ment and is so effectual that the u s.
army make it compulsory. Practical
tests in camp and in war time make
it so dependable that it is no longer
questionable by that efficient organ
ization.
Our State Board of Health supplies
the vaccine free and physicians us
ually administer it free to those who
present themselves. 1t consists of 8
injections of increasing doses at to
5 day intervals and does not usually
interfere with one following their
usual duties.

Trade Balance Will

When War Ends.

ing export mating OF the would,
is a problem now receiving the
attention OF the business men OF
America. IL was the European
war that gave the United States
It's present preeminence. What
will happen when the war shall
close is the great question which
very properly causes anxiety
among men who are financially
interested III the continuance of
thatpartially restored prosperity
now prevailing in some sections
Of the country.
Men who are accustomed to
dealing with conditions, rather
than theories, and who build on
reasonable certainties, rather
than on possibilities, do not over
look the fact that i'll July. 1914,
just before the outbreak of the
war, there was Il very alarming
balance OF trade against the U S.
They will not forget that the bal
ance OF trade turned against us
soon after the tariff lor.reve,iue-
only policy was decided upon by
the election of Il Democratic ad.
n1inlstration and that it was
only the conditions developed by
the European war which turned
the tide in our favor.
Will the balance of trade turn
against us again when the cause
which turned it in our favor has
been removed? Most business
men are answering this question
in the affirmative. believing that
since it was war orders" that
formed the basis af favorable
trade balance. that balance can
continue only SO long AS the war
shall remain a factor in Internal
ional commerce.
There are several facts which
no one disputes:
FIRST. the call of millions of men
in Europe from industrial activity
to military operations decreased
production on that continent
Second, the war not only de
creased production abroad but
destroyed many products already
manufactured. and created new
aud enormous markets.
Third. the only large producing
nation ready to supply the com
modities most in demand by rea
son OF war WAS the United States;
hence this country received
greater part of the war orders.
Fourth, AS soon as the armies
oi Europe are disbanded, those
millions OF men will return to
manufacturing aud other pro-
ductive enterprises.
Fifth, European nations will
be impoverished, and the Uni ed
States. as result of its large tav
orabie trade balance. will be the
only country in position to buy
extensively.
Sixth. AS II consequence of high
prices paid by buyers of war eq-
uipment, wages III American in
dustries have been increased and
when European producers again
begin activity the American pro-
ducer will be thrown into com
petition with factories paying the
lowest scale Oh wages, While
American mills pays the highest.
The foregoing facts present
situation which the business men
Ot America must meet, and they
are now giving 1T most careful
thought. 1t is Il situation which
will conirCnt not merely large
manufacturers of the country,
but every farmer. merchant, lab.
orer and mechanic who depends

prosperity OF the nation.

Opath uses one or several methods to gain the desired results.
 The NatureOpaths have convinced hundreds of the real efficacy of nat ural healing, which simply means the curing of ailments and diseases with out the use of drugs Or the surgeons knife and is now as firmly established and as widely admitted as the law of gravitation.
 They are making some wonderful tarrh, paralysis and all forms of ] nervous diseases and quite a number l of rheumatic and paralytic sufferers l have been treated by the Natureo- pathlc Doctors and are delighted with 1 results obtained. A lady suffering from violent attacks of dyspepsia, in- somnia and extreme nervous prostra- 1 tion, says their power to relieve is simply marvellous, that people are virtually made over and changed from miserable sufferings to sound health, from a low vitality to vigorous men, women and children.
 Just recently quite a number of cases have been discharged, cured of various ailments, many of which were considered as hopeless by other phy sicians.
 Cures made by them are not simply patched up by some outside material means, but by the enforcement of na- lures laws within the body, and the results are positively permanent and 1 lasting.
 In this progressive age of the world it is very few of the advance thought i people who have not made at least some investigation of Natureopathy end that this science of treating dis , eases has been found beneficial and l successful as a restorative agent is l shown by the fact that it's enthusiastic supporters, advocates and Natureo- pathic practitioners are increasing in numbers and are now to be found 1 everywhere.
 The results of this active interest are due to the merits of Natureopathy.
 Every week brings forth a greater demand for more Natureopathic prac- tlt1oners. There is hardly any disease that the Natureopathic Physician could not greatly benefit The local Natureopaths have handled the worst forms of disease and aside from their ] public dem onstration in Turner Hall just recently they have discharged as
 cured hundreds of cases who have
 previously tried mist all other methods
 without deriving any benefit by
 employing the local Natureopath as a last resort. Investigation revealed
 the fact that these people, suffering Tor years, have tried plenty of medi-
 c1nes, consulted noted medical special
 1sts, OsteOpaths, Chiropractors, also
 took electric and other treatments with no benefit whatsoever, and hav-
 ing tried Natureopathy as a last re- l sort, or catching on to what some
 term the last straw, and to their

 Natureopathy, as taught at The Blumer College, includes all agencies, methods, systems, regimes and ideals of natural origin and divine sanction whereby human health can be en- hanced and maintained. Dr. Blumer, the founder of the Natureopathic Col lege in Hartford, declares that all methods incorporated in Natureopathy are based upon scientific privileges scientifically explained and demon strated. The Natureopath is an edu- cated physician and has different methods at his command to meet con- 6itions as indicated in each individual case.
