Typhoid Y CciDat:oD FoGndBfPcI'VG
Found TO Give Protection In Direct Exposure
TO the Disease.

The efficacy Of typt old vaooipa
tion as a means Of rendering i'm
munizstion to typhoid fever has
again been tested. This time il
was bv the healsh departments OF
New York city. According to fig
ures glveai out by that depart
ment,s 8 1Ol pc sons had been di-
rectly exposed 70 this disease and
only 534 of the, number accepted
the MINIMIZING sreatmeit, recelv
ing two or three doses. Tbs left
remainder of 1857 who either
refused to become immunlzizd cr
rece we'd the frat dose only: Of
the 534 who took the immuu zlng
treasment, not one contracted ty-
phoid fever, but Of the z 567 who
did not take the treatmens, 16l
or ever 2 p-r osns, took fever.
"These figures. says the State
Board of Health, 'reveal several
interesting facts regarding anti-ty
phoid vaccination. In the first
pace, they strickingly show TO
what degrees vaccination, three
complete doses, is protection in
,ase of direct exposure to typhoid
Not one of the number exposed
who took the three treatments
took the disease. In she second
place, it shows to what extent
vaccinssi3n may prevent instltu-
tional outbreaks, or epidemics, Of
typhoid; and again, it all she more
en- mphasizss the importaut point
that if vaccination will protect
where infection is known to ex ss.
how much more it will protect
from insidious carriers and where
lnfectien is not kn ywn to exist.
"Whlle it 10 exceedingly sdvis-
able'', says the Board, "to be
vaccinated against this disease CD
having been expos2A 70 il or g.
ing whore the infection is likely
to be met, as on vacation tours or
outing expositions, it is all the
more advisable to ba vaocinsted
as a general preoaution and as a.
mother form of life insurance.
The numt er of the typhoid car
riers have proved to be many and
no man can spot them till after
they have done their work."

On Wednesday evening, February

to the strains Of Mendelssohn's We'd

man with Miss Gladys Duff, sister Of
the bride, as bridesmaid and Mr.. Ralph
Johnson acting as his brothers best
man. The ceremony was performed
by the Rev. G.. +. Hoffman, pastor of
the United Presbyterian church, the
ring service being used. 1t was wit
messed by about t~hirty-six guests, rel
atives Of the contracting parties. A
bountiful and delicious wedding sup
per was served to the company.
The bride was charming in white
satin, with lace overdrape, while the
bridesmaid wore pink and carried pink
roses. The brides bouquet was OF
white rosebuds. The house was decor
ated with carnations, roses, smilax
and ferns.
The young couple were remembered

TRUTHFUL TRUTHS
Contributed by a Cheerful Idiot


While congratulating a new father
the other day we incidentally told
him that he no doubt was d~isappoint-
ed in that his first born was not a boy.
NO" said he, Il am glad. The pipe
sucking, cigarette burning bunch OF
cigar store and barber shop hangers
on make me feel that the present day
boy, who at sixteen thinks he is a
man and has the wisdom of Solomon,
is a problem | do not wish to tackle"
While the bunch, our friends speaks of,
are a sorry and pitiful lot our friend
should not for a minute think that
they are in the majority or that all the
boys of Brookings are of this class.
The industrious, studious lads are not
SO conspicous that is all. The former
have a place to fill. If it were not for
them it would be necessary bye and
bye for us to import laborers to WELD
the pick and shovel and do the other
work that requires no particular brains
or education.
If there are 500 paid admissions to
Brookings movie theatres every night
they are open, the cost is $25,040 per
year. This is figuring on ten cent ad-
missions, no account being taken of
the fact that nearly half the time the
ante is fifteen cents. Will meo
please figure the attendance at the
churches and the amount of the plate
contributions?
We are heartily in accord with
Judge Sherwood's plan to make pris-
oners in the various county jails work.
We wish also hat the good judge
might find a way to keep minors out
of the court DON during divorce trials.

dents skipped" school and were pres

First, l am a firm believer that al

in any state in the Union. | am fully
satisfied that the great handicap thus

like the rest, have been experimenting
along this line for the past ten or
more years with various results. AL
though while / have never failed to
get a fairly good stand | have never
felt sure of my methods till the pres
ent time.
In 1905 | sowed 20 acres in corn
stalks with one bushel of early oats as
a nurse crop on highly MANFRED land.
The season was wet and about one
fourth of the a crop lodged in spots,
and wherever the oats were lodged the
alfalfa was almost an entire failure,
while on the balance Of the field the
stand was good. However, there was
a sandy knoll in this field which drift
ed badly in the early summer and this
part was a total failure as far as the
alfalfa was concerned, so in June
plowed up this knoll and filled it nicely
and broadcasted and narrowed in the

USELESS HORNS ON CATTLE

On the smaller class of farms where
only a few, or perhaps several, calves
are raised annually, 1t Is an easy mat
ter to dehorn them, or rather prevent
any horns to develop. One farmer
uses caustic potash. One light appli-
cation when a calf is ten days to two
weeks old, prevents all horn develop
ment, and a beautiful head results. In
this advanced age no cattle should
possess horns. They are useless as
they are dangerous. Another thing Is
to break all the cattle to lead and
stand tied. This is easy especially IL
attended to when the calves are young.
Still another thing is to arrange to
stable, through all bad, cold weather,
for feeding. This is comfort for the
cattle and economical of feeding ma
