Early Neglect Spreads Typhoid
143 Cases During May Mean
Almost Five Times as Many
During August.


Richmond, Va, June I'll
Virginia had but 143 cases of
rural typhoid during May, ac-
cording to statistics just COM
piled by the State Board of
Health, but if past experience is
a guide, the number during
August will be 4.S times as great
or $50. The only way to save
this heavy tax of disease, the
board AYERS, is to give scrupu-
lous care to the early cases and
to prevent the spread of the dis
ease-bearing typhoid germs.
The reports of typhoid for
previous years in the counties of
Virginia show that the minimum
is reached in the late winter and
that thereafter, as the summer
comes on, the number mounts
up. During 1915, it is pointed
out, the minimum for the year
was in March when only las
cases were reported by physicians
in the counties. The Maximum
was in August. when reports of
$50 cases were sent in. In April
1915, the number of cases re-
ported was 153. in May l79, in
June 292. in July 6S5, in August
$50 aud in September 7SS.
The figures for 1916 are there.

THE COMMON PEOPLE
WILL CALL HIM BLESSED.

No nation was ever so patient
with another under prolonged and
extraordinary provocatlon as the
United States has been with the de
facto Government of Mexico. The +,
mere recital of the undisputed facts
creates a case which would con-
vince any impartial jury in the
world of our right of faction. Few
countries would have held their
hand after the attack on Columbus
last March; none other would have
still parleyed after the attack on
our troops at Carrizal last week. |
Yet with unexampled self-control
we have waited to learn all the facts, i
and have given the offenders final
opportunity to escape the penalty
which they have invited.
There is no weakness. no indecis-
ion in this. 1t is logically in line
with the principles of higher inter-
national conduct which the Admin
listration adopted as its guide in the
beginning. 1t is simply proving to
Mexico and the world that we have
been sincere in our professed de-
sire not to interfere in the internal
laffairs of that country, and that we
have no selfish interests to serve.
! The people of the United States.
Inow that war is no longer simply
possibility, will feel greater ad-
miration than before for this ex-
hibition of supreme calmness. Those
who witnessed the departure of our
State troops from Camden Station
last week were impressed by the
!, pathos and the solemnity of the
scenes at the depot. Even persons
who had no close friends in the
. regiments were saddened by the fare.

POSTSCRIPT
1t has seldom fallen to our lot,
to record an affair of honor, as it
is called, with more poignant
grief than the one below. When
such man as the deceased would
for false sense of honor, lay
aside that prudence which he
was wont to practice to meet a
dismissed officer, that had dis
graced his country in an i'm
portant transaction, is to be
wondered at. Whatever induced
our beloved son of Columbia 50
to transgress the doctrine of
himself-let it not be said that
America will forget his many
services, let it not be forgotten
the blood that was split in his
country's cause, let it not also be
forgotten by that country, that
provisions should be made for the
widow and orphans of our la
mented but unfortunate mis-.
guided commodore.
