But no two lists Of Switches" agree.
Must Have Control.

Must Have Control.
Control Of the state senate is abso-
lutely essential to the success of the
league program. Even though the
league should fail to organize that
body, there is general sentiment
among the non nNonpartisans to abide,
to Il material extent with the will OF
the people of the state as indicated IN
the recent election. and 1t isn't at all
likely that there. will be real serious
opposition to a goodly number OF the
measures that will be put forth by the
league during the session. -,
Failure Of the leaguers to control
the senate would result in that
organization centering it's work in the
passing all of the Nonpartisan league
program, thus putting the issue
squarely up to the senate.
Signs OF activity on the part of the
league forces. as we'll as of the non
leaguers. were more marked today
with the arrival Of other members of
the upper house. 1t is, fair to assume
that by tomorrow night, or possibly
Sunday forenoon. the exact lineup OF
the senate can be determined.

Among the many good cars now on
the market for 1916 Is the Westcott
for which James w. Harvey Of this

car although new to this section Is a
seven year old production composed of
we'll known material and has been pop

sense of the word through the west

competed we'll with all other makes.

materials: list grade Continental Mo-

The Westcott has strong motor cap
able Of climbing any Maine hills on
high gear, this is not through tremen-
dous gear reduction which necessltates
racing of motor at high speed when on
level running. In other words there IS
power left over at all times and power
that is economically obtained as West
colt gas consumption will compete with
any car on market. All that is neces-
sary to convince yourself that the fore
going statements are actual facts, is to
have a demonstration which will be
gladly given at any time. Seeing Is

TYPHOID fever IS
MucH REDUCED IN:
RURAL COMMUNITIES

Reduction in typhoid fever and i'm
provement in sanitary conditions have
followed the intensive investigations
of rural communities carried on by
the United States Public Health Ser
vice in cooperation with local and
State health officers, according to the
annual report Of the Surgeon General
of that Service. During the past ifs
cal year 1859 rural homes in eight
different states were visited and many
of them revisited. In each Of these
homes information was obtained as
to the prevalence Of disease and in
sanitary conditions and a complete
sanitary survey Of the premises, con-
Quoted. This was followed by REIN
spections to determine if remedial
measures had been instituted. In but
a relatively small percentage of the
cases did the persons concerned, after
having their attention drawn to the
danger Of particular unhygienic con-
dition. fail to inaugurate corrective
measures. Stimulus was given to the
work by means Of public lectures, the
formation Of active sanitary organiza-
lions, and the enlisting Of all public
spirited citizens in the campaigns for
reform. Public buildings we're also
inspected and local authorities given
expert advice in solving such sanitary
problems as the disposal of excreta,
the prevention Of soil pollution, and
the maintenance Of pure water sup
plies.
The surveys made during the year
1914 had shown that in rural COM
munities less than one per cent. of the
homes had sanitary toilets and that
more than fifty per cent. Of the people
were using water from polluted
sources. This condition. according to
the Public Health Service. made tho
rural sanitation question loom large
among the matters vitality affecting the
welfare Of the nation. Following
these studies and as a result Of the in
terest aroused. the typhoid fever rate,
an excellent indicator of the sanitary
status of a community, has in some
places frequently been cut to one
quarter Of its previous figure. In
Berkeley county. West Virginia, the
cases Of typhoid fever were reduced
from 24s to 40 in one year. In Orange
county. North Carolina, the rural
SANITATION campaign resulted IN re-
duction Of the cases from So to IT.
The tangible results OF operations in
rural sanitation indicate that marked
advancement in maintaining hygienic
and satisfactory. surroundings in
country districts Is possible by tho
application Of the common principles
of preventive medicine. Insanitary
conditions exist largely becauses they
are not known to be such. Actual
demonstrations Of their harmfuimess,
together with definite recommenda-
lions for their correction, remain ono

methods for instituting reforms and
