Vaccine Reduces
The Typhoid Cases

Correspondence Of ths Associated PrsssI
Warsaw, June fs.-At the German.
Congress of international MedicipE
which has been in session here, SIR.
geon General Huenermann reported
that in the worst typhoid month (De-
cember, 1914,) since the war began
the number Of typhoid cases in tho
German army was only one-four-
teenth al many as In the worst
month Of the Franco-P russian war.
when the total number of German
troops in the field was far smaller
than now.
The use Of Pfeiffer-K olle anti-ty-
phoid vaccine, which is now in gen
eral use, has, DR.. Huenermann said.
been given in millions of instances
without any serious consequences.
and it was due to this vaccine that
such wonderful production of typhoid
cases have been brought about.

MORE MONEY FOR
REALTY ]' EXCHANGE
Now q Corporation and Members
Must Pay in Their Dues
Regularly.
NEED FUNDS TO DO THINGS

The Omaha Real Estate exchange
is to have more money next year.
Yes, it is to have regular cor
porate existence. Exchange mem
berships are TO cost SIS, and they
arc to have real value. This will be
the membership cost, while annual
dues will be still another item. This
organization, which is then to be
known as The Real Estate Board, is
to limit its. memberships to 100
These, at SIS apiece, would immedi-
ately turn $500 into the treasury, to
say nothing OF dues.
1t is expected that the member
ships will grow in value as they
have grown in the Omaha Grain ex-
change, in the South Omaha Live
Stock exchange, in the Live Stock
Traders exchange, and even in the
newly organized Omaha Hay ex-
change.
Wanted Lower Fee.
When w. H. Green and others
made plea for a lower membership
fee at the last meeting, it was pointed
out that SIS will bring none too much
money in the treasury. ]. H. Dumont
and Frank H. Meyers said that the
membership will always be worth at
least SIS, and perhaps great deal
more, SO that the money is not lost
but merely invested.
Ed Slater pointed out that the or
ganization should have enough money
to take its place among the big or
CARNATIONS OF the city. For in
stance" he said, "here we were all
opposed to the county paving and
grading bonds this spring, but were
unable to do anything against them
until they were voted upon, and now
we are seeking to enjoin them. We
ought to have money enough in our
treasury so that we could act when
the time is here. In the case of those
bonds I'VE should have had money
enough to insert advertisements in the
newspapers in the name Of the Real
Estate exchange, setting forth our
reasons for being opposed to these
bondsAa trying to do some actual
good in helping to- defeat them, in
stead.o merely sitting here and pass
ing idle resolutions against them"

HERMAN WANTS CHANCE IN PLAN
 WORlD'S SERIES
Propose to Increase Mum Der of Games, and Let
 Other Teams in Receipts.

New York, Dec. 11.-Baseball mag mates representing the National and International leagues and the Ameri- can association, assembled here to- day for a series of conferences which is expected to continue for the bet
 CT part of the week.
 The international league began it's annual meeting shortly after noon, with conference with committees appointed to represent the American association, relative to series of interleague games at the end of the regular season.
 The National league is not to con- vene until tomorrow afternoon, but a majority of the club owners were on hand early this evening, prepared for what is expected to be 8 conference Of moreN than the usual importance.
 The important announcement was made that before the annual meeting adjourned, there would be passed legislation of far reaching effect upon the professional end of the na- tional sport.
 One of the chief subjects of dis cussion and consultation was the matter of proposed changes in rules governing world series games. Sev- cral expressed the opinion that there would be no radical changes adopted by National league and submitted to l the American league for ratification. Lengthen Worlds Series. Garry Hermann, chairman of the national commission, and president of the Cincinnati club, stated he was heartily in favor of playing the 1917 series under an entirely different sys- 1 tenn from the one governing those of 1 the past few years. He said he advo- cated series based on winning five out of nine games, lower prices of ad mission and a distribution of DOT tion of the players share Of the re- ceipts among the second, third and fourth teams, at the close of the pen nant races.
 President Weeghman of the Chicago Nationals, refused to discuss rumors regarding his alleged efforts to ob- tain new manager for the coming season, but said he might have an announcement to make within tha next 24 hours. He is reported to have conferred with owners of the Boston club, and Fred Mitchell and George Stallings were included in the gos- sip, either as sold or traded.
 Barney Dreyfus announced that he was still determined to bring about the removal of Garry Hermann from the national commission, if it is pos sible.
 At the opening of it's annual meet ing, the International league threw down the gauntlet and decided not to abide by the ruling of the national commission, which would compel the Newark club to pay 5000 to the Brooklyn club owners. Originally, the Brooklyn club made claim for $74,O00 on the Newark club, for it's International league franchise.

Romance Is Spoiled,

There is q mound of earth in St. Pauls church, at New York, that is overgrown with long, coarse grass and looks like an unkempt, unmarked grave. Groups of young women from office buildings gather in that quiet 45act of the churchyard every day at the noon hour to eat their lunches. Among these regular frequenters of the place there has been much specula- tion as to the meaning of this new grave and why 1t should be so neg lected. All sorts of romantic stories have been woven about it by the im- aginative tales of family feuds, disap- pointed love and the like. Yesterday a workman wheeled a barrow up to this mound and began shoveling some of h 4n to cart il. away. There was ex- citement immediately among the Luncheon parties. "Whose tomb is this?" asked one of the lunchers breathlessly. The man looked puzzled for C moment and then grinned. ''This ain't no grave. miss," he answered. '"This is just heap of mold that we use to fill up any place that caves inn. And thus a romance was spoiled.

Removing Dents From Furniture.

When wood is badly dented or scratched, it is often a problem to know how to get rid of the marks. This is quite easy if the following plan is adopted: First of all, fold a piece of plotting paper at least four times; then saturate with water, finally allowing the superfluous mois- ture to drip away. Now heat fiat iron until it is about the warmth re- quired for laundry. work. Place the damp plotting paper over the dent anG press firmly with the iron. As soon as the paper dries examine the mark. It will then be found that the cavity has filled up to q surprising extent. Where the dent is very deep a second, or even a third, application on the lines indicated might be tried. Sooner or later even serious Impressions can be drawn up. and most people who have not tried this plan will be sur. prised at the result of the treatment.

Need Moro TrainIno.

This is what one college president says in an address: "With the mul- tiplicity of subjects 1t is only to be expected that some anxiety may be felt as to the results from present-day methods of teaching. must confess there is some need for this sugges- ton of anxiety. Perhaps the pendulum has swung too far. or we may have discovered the correct scientific metE- cd of dealing with the subjects taught In the elementary school. I feel con- vinced that training is not receiving its fair share of attention. There was much wastage of time in the past, but the old-fashioned grinding was not without its good points, one of which @as the cultivation of the faculty of sticking to task until 1t was known" Princeton Review.

Ballad Early Form of Newspaoer,


 The ballad, or that form of it which s associated with the broadside, was ono predecessor of the newspaper as a commentator on events. It was writ ten for the people and sold to the people. Printed on poor paper and passed from hand to hand, copies of early ballads were seldom preserved Fortunately several men of the sev. enteenth century began to make col. lections of ballads. and the copies of broadsides printed before 17OO that are now in existence are supposed to number about 10000. Soon after 1700 the printed form of the ballad was changed, the "black letter" disappear ing, but the ballad continued as a chronicier of happenings and a com. mentator on political, military and other public events until the middle of the nineteenth century, and in the United States as well as England the topical" song of today perpetuetes the satirical function of the ballad.

New York, Dec. 11.--On account of the lack of refrigerator cars, one of the largest single shipments of apples ever sent here from the state of Washington was carried in box cars lined with paper and heated with oil stoves to prevent freezing. The ap- pies, which were placed on the mar ket today, filled 40 cars, and were valued at about S40,O0O.
