Mr. Thorne, recovering from a re-

speak, but her private secretary over

due to the fact that Carranza ex-
planned that he would not insist on his

in the sense that he would exclude

The possibility that ono of the ves-

There seems to be a great deal of
misunderstanding regarding the Ques-

that small group OF cases has been
traced TO one OF these fountains. This,
however. does not mean that soda
fountains constitute special source
Of danger
While we have not been able 10
determine the exact manner in which
the fountain in question caused the
trouble, there can be little doubt but
that It was due to that most trouble
some single thing in connection with
typhoid fever. the typhoid carrier
While in this instance a soda foun-
tain was involved. It might as we'll
have been any place where food or

trouble arises liz through some single
careless act, The carrier has not
washed his hands properly, and that
is tho story.
During the past ten years we have
located several carriers In Richmond.
One Of these was cook who caused
eleven cases OF typhoid fever dis
tribu'ed through four families In diff
fcrcnt sections OF the city. The sec
oud case was q grocer. and, assuming
carrier was involved, the present
soda fountain is our third.
I have therefore cautioned the pub
lic to notice carefully for themselves
