TNOUR years ago scourge of typhoid
broke out in Lyndon, Kansas. Lyn-
don is hard enough to find on the
map at best, but the typhoid awetty
nearly wiped it off altogether.
After the fever abated the residents of
the town got together and determined
that Lyndon should be made "the clean
est town in the United States" A special
election was called and bond issue of
$65, 600 voted-quite a bite for town
of less than 900 people. There were
some who protested against the tax, but

the determined cleaners finally prevailed.
With the $65,OOO complete sewer
system has been installed, and new
water system. To-day every house, with
one exception-a little unoccupied place
at the very edge of town-is connected
with the sewer system.
So far as is known, there is no other
town, large or small, in the country of
which this can be said. The club-women
of the town are especially vigilant, and
the first words child is taught in Lyn-
don are: "Swat the fly and bat the rat.

in Philadelphia. One of Lumsden's men
was called on the case
The victims of the disease lived in
various parts of the city. Scarcely any
two of them dealt with the same grocer
market, meat-shop, or milkman. And
all were using the same city water. 1t
was battling case until the detective
stumbled upon the fact that the typhoid
patients all seemed to move in the same
social circle.
The detective made up his mind that
they had caught the disease from some
common source. Following up this the
ory, he found that, about month before
they were taken ill, the victims had all
attended big wedding luncheon. Each
article of food served at this luncheon
was then placed under suspicion, and all
exonerated until there was nothing left
but some water-cress that had been used
in salad. The detective learned where
the cress had been bought, and, from
that clue, where it had been raised. He
went to the spot where it was picked,
and discovered that on top of hill not
far away was a dwelling which lacked
proper sanitary facilities. Some months
previous there had been two eases of ty-
phoid fever in that house.
The Link in a Battling Case
I UMSDEN worked on a case where he
suspected the milk supply. But as the
investigation went on the facts failed
somewhat to tally with his theory. The
victims of the epidemic had been buying
their milk from two different dealers.
Both these dealers owned their own dairy
farms, and in each instance everything
was so Immediately clean and sanitary
that there seemed to be no possible chance
for milk infection. Yet it looked as if
milk must have been the cause of the out
break, because every victim bought from
one or the other of the two dealers, and
not single person who had not bought
from these dealers had taken the disease.
Lumsden made up his mind that there
was some connecting link between the two
milkmen. So he went to the superintend-
ent of one of the dairies and asked him:
"Where did you buy milk month ago?"
ave don't buy any milk. We produce it
all from our own cows, the man declared.

"Yes; but you bought little a
month ago to help out, y bluffed Lumsden.
Sure enough, they had. The other
dairy had also. And part of this milk, in
each instance, had been bought from the
farm of a man where sanitary conditions
We're not the best, and where there had
been a case of typhoid.
One typhoid epidemic was traceable
to the water supply. The company that
operated the water plant was willing to
remedy the trouble, but did not want
the public to know how bad conditions
had been. So they began to put chloride
of lime in the water to kill the bacili
Lumsden made an analysis of the water
in the company's main reservoir and
also out of the pipes down in the city.
There was marked discrepancy in the
two samples. He went to one of the
company officials and asked if they had
been using the chloride treatment in the
water. The man was emphatic in declar-
ing that they had not.
Getting the Evidence
DETECTIVE LUMSDEN then began
to wander about the plant. and came
to one of the big supply wells. The ground
about it was covered with snow, and on
top of the snow--looking about like the
snow itself-was small quantity of
chloride of lime that had been spilled.
Lumsden called the officials attention to
this, and asked what it had been used for.
ave used little of that in the water
as an experiment several months ago
away last summer was the reply.
"It's strange, then,' suggested Lums-
den, "that the stuff got on top of the
snow instead of underneath"
This bit of acute observation on the
part of the detective uncovered all the
facts of the situation.
Lumsden has number of methods for
ascertaining if he is getting the truth.
Frequently, before he asks man about
the thing he wishes to know, he asks him
about something he himself already knows,
and that he knows the man knows. If the
man conceals something about that, then
Lumsden is sure that the information will
be undependable all along the line.
"Just as in any other kind of detective
operations" says Lumsden, @our work
follows human nature and also, in
large degree, is based upon plain, simple,
everyday common sense

RULES OF HEALTH
FOR DYSPEPT|CS

There are two ways by which people
who suffer from Indigestion, dyspepsia
sour stomach, flatulence, etc, can over
come the trouble. First, as practically
all cases of the above are directly or
indirectly traceable to acidity and fer
mentation, they can eliminate from
their diet all foods which ferment and
form acid, such as all starches and
sugar and foods containing tkem, thus
prohibiting bread. potatoes, fruits and
most meats. About the only safe foods
are gluten breads, spinach and small
quantities of white meat of chicken or
turkey. This diet is almost a starva-
tlon one, but II is sometimes quite ef-
fective, The second way, which ap-
peals especially to those who like to
eat hearty meals of good foods is to
eat whatever is reasonably digestable
neutralize the acid and stop fermenta-
tlon by the use of a good antacid such
as, btsurated magnesia, a teaspoonful
of which in a little water Immediately
after eating or whenever pain Is felt.
instantly neutralzes the acid, stops the
termentatlon and permits the stomach
to do its work without pain or hind
rance. Owing to its simplicity, con-
venience and effectiveness this latter
plan is now being adopted, instead of
the old fashioned, expensive, weakening
starvation process. In this connection
1t is interesting to note that since the
widespread use of bisurated magnesia
was established, many druggists have
arranged to supply 1t in gr. tablets 9

EXCELLENT WORK
OF MUSIC CLASS
Conservatory Graduates Play
Interesting Program Before
Large Audience

The largest classin the history of the
Harrisburg Conservatory of Music was
graduated last evening in the Techni-
cal High School Auditorium before an
audience which completely filed the
hall. The selections played were all
most difficult, and showed painstaking
care and attention to details on the
part OF both student and teacher. The
character of work done at the Con-
serVatory under the direction of Prof
Decevee has always been of the high
est order and already nearly 200 stu
dents have received diplomas. The
Rev. DR.. Lewis/s Nudge, pastor of
Pine Street Presbyterian Church, made
an address, dwelling on the import
ance of music as factor in life. He
spoke particularly of touch" and
taste" and drew an analogy between
these important things in music and
life itself, urging the graduates to keep
before them the highest ideals of
their art.
In a program so lengthy as last
nights it is impossible to speak of
each number. Special mention should
be made of the work of Helen Eliza
beth Balm, who rendition of Liszts
"Polonaise" No. in E major was un-
usually brilliant; the same can also
be said of Mrs. Harry S. Wenger in
Raff's Polka de la Refine; Barton
Bradley Bolts in Liszt's difficult "Rigo-
letto" Helen Irene Runkle in Liszts
