Many Frame Ups.

No game outside of the old race
horse game has ever been trodden
down under the burden of suspicion
as has wrestling. And to be plain,
wrestling deserves the suspicion that
has been cast upon it, because crook
edness has been proven too often to
leave any doubt about the dozens,
yes hundreds, of frameups that have
been pulled off.
1t isn't that we want to give wrest-
ling a clean slate here, for that would
be going too far in the face of some
things that have been pulled off by
wrestlers and promoters of the game,
but if wrestling is making a bid to
come back as a strictly clean, up-and-
up game, it is no more than right to
say that those who are responsible
for it deserve a helping of credit.
The wrestling game has been kept
clean in spots, for not all wrestlers
and promoters are to be condemned,
but the spots have been few and far
between, and the public knows it.

"The pitching is rotten:
1t seems they've forgotten
The old art of twirling," he cried:
For batters were swinging
And base-hits were winging
Their way DER the broad countryside.
The batters were trouncing,
The hits went Announcing,
And fielders were filled with fatigue;
THE pitching is fearful
'Twould make a fan fearful"
He said, "in a semi-pro league"
And yet when the twirlers
Cat times known as hurlers)
Were pitching ns a regular aha game game;
His bosom was anguished-
He yearned for a free hitting game.
THE hitting is rotten!
1t seems they've forgotten
Pish! Tush for the pitchingl
My eyeballs are itching
To see a three-bagger," said he.
Just as we were thinking of taking up
golf along comes a plan to tax golfers a

we admire the work of the Red Cross we

HOROSCOPE
THURSDAY, NOV. 1, 1917.

According TO astrology this should
be a fortunate day, for Neptune,
Jupiter and Saturn are all in benefc
aspect.
II is a day in which all CONNER
cial transactions will prosper and
should be especially good for what
ever had to do with the navy or
with navigation.
There is a particularly lucky sign
for those who deal in fine food
stuffs. whether I'm selling, purveying
or preparing them.
1t is an auspicious rule under
which TO travel on the high seas or
to begin journeys having as their
aim an altruistic mission.
Neptune is in a place most likely
10 encourage superstition. which will
lead TO strange discoveries.
Again see ndals relating TO the
government and imperilling the ma
tion will be uncovered, but foreign
ers will not be the culprits.
Under this sway of the stars
ter words OF great wisdom and a
statesman who is very old Will
prophesy truly. the seers declare.
While this conhguration prevails
advantage should be taken OF every
opportunity for recreation, as be-
hind the sunshine Of todays pros
perity loom storm clouds.
While new enterprises are not en-
couraged by the planetary rule,
there is a direction Of the stars
making for great gain in remote
places. Liberia appears TO loom with
promise and Africa has the best
prospects for the future.
Neptune gives promise OF extraor-
dinary religious excitement and even
riots, owing TO agitation OF a sinister
origin.
Women should take account OF
their highest possibilities. during the
next few months, as they come un-
der a government OF the stars which
will exact much OF them.
There is cheer today for all who
depend on the ground for sus-
tenance Farmers. miners and build
ers OF tunnels have a good leading.

the augury OF a very successful
year.
Children born on this day should

case mortality rate OF almost 30 per-
cent. 1t is generally admitted that
the mortality rate is about 10 per
cent DR.. Fox in his report (page
1922 called attention TO this high
case fatality rate and suggested that
the physicians did not report ali the
cases. Intensive and extensive in
vestigation of many typhoid cpl
denies show that the deaths do not
represent more than one percent Of
the total number OF persons infect
ed at that time. In the previous
Is months there were 27 deaths
which multiplied by 100 gives p
700; my rough estimate was 5000.
AS to DIR. Bosenbury's previous
investigation of cases of typhoid will
say that 1 dug up a lot of records
in his office that he did not seem
to know about. He excused his rs,
norance of the office by saying
that his stenographer was on her
vacation and that she attended TO
all the records of diseases and
death. But of what value are such
records if the health officer knows
nothing about them and does not
use them TO prevent disease?

Editor News-Times,

Dear SIR:
DR.. Bosenbury in one of the South
Bend newspapers that the alleged
vaccination fee discussion by mem
bers Of the st. Joseph County Med
ical society took place at a noon
meeting of the South Bend board Of
health sept 18th, will say that We
have not heretofore mentioned what
was said about vaccination fees at
this meeting and at other times.
During this meeting of the board
Of health l advised general vaccin
alton against typhoid as it would
take some time 10 determine the
cause of the epidemic; in the mean
time more persons would be infect
ed and vaccination might also alb
sorb the disease in those already in
fected / was asked the usual charge
for vaccination and told them that
charges varies but believed that the
usual office consultation fee charged
by each physician was reasonable.
DR. Bosenbury objected 10 this say
Ing that II was necessary to steriliZe
syringe and needle. prepare the
arm. answer telephone calls of the
parents, and take care of any in
lection arising and thought that
| five dollars was not too high for the
three injections. l told them that
this fee was not too large perhaps
| for single vaccinations but that the
board of health could do the work
| for much less III a central vaccin-
alton place was established and all
persons desiring TO be vaccinated
told TO 20 TO that place. We told
them how three doctors and three
nurses at the ARCHAEOLOGICAL labora-
tory Of the Indiana state board of
health vaccinated 5000 school chill
dren in one afternoon from 100 p
m. TO 500 p. m, and did not have
single injection abscess.
At noon Wednesday. Sept. 18th, We
met with Mayor Keller, DR.. BOsen-
bury and some OF the other city Of
/ hcials. After I had explained 10
those present the typhoid situation.
/ the mayor asked wnat I advised
them 10 DO. I advocated compulsory
vaccination of all school children
and q careful epidemiological study
] bv the health officer (rather than
( by the milk inspector.) OF each case
OF typhoid as soon as the case was
reported by the physician and that
the city board OF health should fur
nish typhoid vaccination free of
charge.
The mayor then asked DR.. Bosen-
bury what he thought OF these sug-
gestions. Or. Bosenbury's reply was
