These stiff marches excellent for the guardsmen.

Increase In Bread Cost

While farmers applaud and millers smile at the ad-
in wheat, it is very grave matter to mil
lions Of people So sharply have prices of bread max
ing materials advanced, that the five cent loaf Of bread
IN many locality, has vanished and loaf Of the
size sells six cents In other places smaller loaf is
sold for five cents
Thinking in terms OF a cent, this seems unimDOrtant
How much it really does matter is shown by calcula-
tons demonstrating that increase of cent LOAF
five cent bread additional expenditure
cry year for the people of city the size Of New York
amounting to s16,OO0OOo If this estimate is correct
applied to the 100000 people of New York, It
should mean S300o0oO0o year more spent for bread
by the people of the whole United States That would
of course, be assumption that almost all the people
the United States get their bread from the bakers.
It conended by writers that most of them do,
for notwithstanding the suppositon that the farmers
wife bakes the famy's bread astonshngly few Of them
do in this day. The home made loaf is nearly
in most rural communities in the city. Even where
there Is regular bakery, often individuals make
speciality of bread and cake baking and sell their prod
uct to other families.

The following notice, Translated lnt9

to all Of the employees Of the II Faso
smelter by the company, for the purpose
of aiding in preventing typhus;
During the past few weeks there
have been a number of cases Of typhus
fever found in FL Faso. Three or these
occurred to people living near the sneI-
ter. These people came from bhcarh "a
ciOn, Mexico, and brought the disease
with them.
This is a disease which is very dan
gerous and is also very contagious.
For your own protection, the pro
lection Of your families, your friends
and all others, We ask you TO cooper .
ate with us in preventing the spread or
this disease and aid us in stamping II

somewhat resembles yellow fever dur
ing the early stages.
The Temperature.
THE difference between the morning
and afternoon temperatures in typhus
fever is seldom as great as one degree
Fahrenheit. and the fever will continue
at about the same height throughout
the course of the disease, which is or
dinarily from II to II days. The disease
terminates by a crisis or rapid fall Of
the temperature, covering "a to 36
hours. Throughout the course Of the
disease, the most prominent symptom Is
an intense headache, and in mild cases
this may be the only thing the patient
complains of. Usually there is severe
mental prostration and almost Away
some delirium, especially at night
THE tongue soon becomes coated and
IN very large percentage OF cases
there will be some congestion OF the
lungs and more or less troublesome
bronchitis. Constipation is always
present.
Eruption ON BODY.
Any time between the third and fifth
day, an eruption appears upon the body,
starting upon the abdomen, the sides OF
the thOraX. and rapidly spreading to the
legs and arms. 1t is seldom present on
the forearms and very rarely on the
palms or soles. The rash never appears
on the face. so that an examination

cases. and occasionally in ones OF more
severe type, the rash may be absent
This rash is a maculO popular eruption
varying in size from one-tweltth "a
, one-half OF an inch in diameter. The
rash persists after il once appears I'M
til convalescence and will not dtsap-
pear on pressure.
Old Names for Disease.
THE old names Synonymous with ty-
plus fever We're ship fever Jail fever
and camp fevers,' and such phrases
This apparent prevalence of the disease
among the lower classes. or those who
were living under such conditions as
made cleanliness difficult or impossible
was fully explained when il was discoV-
cred that this disease was transmitted
by the bite of the body louise. The first
experiments along this line were made
by two French physicians working in
Algiers and Tunis These experiments
were very shortly afterwards confirmed
by American physicians working II
Mexico.
From time immemorial typhus fever
has been epidemic in the higher plateau
regions of the Republic of Mexico. and
during the past few years, owing ia
the unsettled political and economic
conditions in Mexico. the disease has
been quite generally distributed
throughout the entire republic, and has
assumed, in a large percentage Of cases
the typical type found in European
countries.
Can Exist in L. 9.
THAT typhus can exist in the United
States cannot be doubted, for il has eX-
listed in certain cities for the past many
years. In the wards of Mt. Sinai hos
pital, New York City. during a period
from 1906 to 1910. there We're 225 cases
of what was described at the time as a

Indigestion May Be
Due to Constipation
Neglect of Important Func-
ton May Seriously I'm
pair the Health.

There are many people who believe
they suffer from indigestion when their
discomfort really is due to consti-
pated condition.
Bloat with its attendant mental de-
preston, sick-headache, the belching Of
sour stomach gases, etc, are frequently
due to inaction OF the bowels. Re
lieve the congestion and the trouble
usually disappears. The use Of ca
thartics and purgatives should be
avoided. however; these shock the sys-
TEN unnecessarily and, at best. their
effect is but temporary. A mild laXa-
tive is far preferable.

herbs known as DIT. Caldwelrs Syrup
