TYPHOID VACCiNA-
TlON NOT A FAD
Has Come TO Stay as a Great Dis
covery for Preventing Sick
ness and Death

In answer to the inquiries
Does the State Board Of Health
advocate vaccination as a means
of preventing typhoid fever as
strongly as ever?' and How
long does the vaccination remain
goodW the Board has the follow
ing to say in answer:
Vaccination for typhoid is
not fad, and its disappearance
or disuse may not soon be eXpec-
ted. Typhoid vaccine as a means
of preventing typhoid fever has
come to stay and will do this on
its own merits. Wherever its use
has been intelligently pursued,
the results have been a large
number of immunes, a small
number of cases and a much
smaller numb, r Of deaths. Wher-
ever its use has been made COM
pulsory, the disease has practi-
cally disappeared In other
words, typhoid vaccine is no
longer an experiment, but one of
the ages greatest discoveries for
preventing sickness and death.
"The question, how long does
vaccination remain good, is yet
to be answered definitely. People
freshly inoculated with vaccine
rarely get typhoid, and they very
rarely die of typhoid. But vac
against typhoid offers
ofprotection that is near
ly absolute. Its use is practically
devoid of danger and it offers
immunity, probably, for much
longer than three years. The
United States Army, however,
requires its soldiers to be re-vac-
cinated every three years and
this has proven sufficient to pro-
:ect them from contracting the
disease and to Danish typhoid
rom the battle field. What vac
line is able to do for whole
lrmies, it is able to do for in
lividuals, orany ygroupofpeople. y

CHAU7AUQUA CLOSES
SUCCESSFUL WEEK
Delivered Brilliant Program TO Big
Audience in Spite Of Most
IncIement Weather
WILL RETURN NEXT YEAR

In spite of unfriendly skies
and a week of stormy showers
Chautauqua played here this
season to the largest audiences
of its three years in this CON-
munity. The out-of-town at
tendance during the week aver
aged nearly two hundred people
for each evening performance
in addition to the big home
crowds which attended it.
The program as a whole was
fully equal to the program of
previous years. The star feature
of the week, THE Chimes of
Normandy" rendered on Satur-
day evening by a large cast, with
full chorus and orchestra was
most enjoyable. Good singing
and clever acting in an unusually
attractive medium carried it al
most to the level Of the 'Mika-
do" which Chautauqua present
ed last year.
On Saturday evening, Mr.. W.
L. Long announced on behalf of
the guarantors that fifty three
names had been secured to the
contract for the return of Chau-
tauqua for five years, and while
the ticket pledges were being
circulated and filled seven more
to the contract were
received, making the contract
and assuring the return

MYRICK-bAENES
WRiTF-UP INCORRECT
Not Charged With Highway Rob-
berry as Stated in Last Weeks
Herald, but with Inter-
fering with S.W. Baird
on Highway
NEITHER CHARGE WAS TRUE

The HERALD in it's write.up of
the Recorders Court proceedings
of last week unwittingly erred
in stating the charge preferred
against Messrs. Robert Myrick
and O. p. Barnes by Sidney
Baird on last Saturday night.
According to the HERALD'S
information at the time of
going to press Sidney Baird had
claimed that Myrick and Barnes
mad attempted to rob him on the
road between the canal and First
Street on last Saturday night and
that the Recorder, after examin-
ing the evidence found that Mr..
Baird had been unduIy alarmed
and that no attempt at robbery
had been either planned or made.
The mistatement in the write
up last week lay in the charge.
Mr.. Baird did not claim that he
had faced an attempt at hold-up
but that he had been merely
interfered with on his journey
from the Power House through
the dark space that stretched be-
tween him and the lights of the
Avenue. 1t seems that Mr.. Baird
is a rather nervous parsonage,
so much so that he could not tell
in the dark the difference between
a salutation and a threat. Messrs.
Myrick, Barnes and several of
their friends were sitting on the
side of the street where the path
from "old town" joins the road,
when Mr.. Baird passed. They
told him it was a pleasant eve-
ming, one Of the number remark.
ed hes a white fellow" and
Mr.. Baird tarried not on the
order of his going for a police
man. At the trial his testimony
that of the defense
and the Recorder dismissed the
case, which, Of course, should
not have come up at all.
