public that the proprietor of the
town of Brashear Morgan City, has
appointed US sole agents for the sale

son the most eligible location for a
summer or permanent residence on
the southern shores, offering to our
citizens fine bathing, abundant sup

Alighting, Patria was welcomed BY
Captain Parr and a group of officers.
After walking the length of the front

half Of whose length was sheathed in
black wrappings.
With this in AInd, she addressed
briefly the nucleus of her private
forces. Having spoken, she offered the
pole to the officer commanding under
Captain Parr.
U~nsheathing the flag, the command
ing officer held it high, its brilliant
cOlors radiant in the autumnal sun
light, before delivering it to the color

A great roar Of cheering broke out
in the ranks and was carried clearly

CALL ON j. s.
FOR HELP IN
TYPHOID FIGHT
Surgeon General at Washing
ing Asked for Decision to
Protect Men in Draft
Called Sept. 20.

The United States govern
ment has been asked TO help
protect South Bend drafted men
and incidentally Camp Taylor
from inrOadS of the epidemic of
typhoid fever which is developing
rapidly in this community. The
surgeon general of the war de-
partment was asked in a tele-
gram last night TO give a deci-
sion in the matter of immuniz-
ing men to be called to Camp
Taylor on Sept 90.
The state of Indiana has been
asked to help, too, DR.. j. n.
Hurry, state health commission
er, being urged to send an cpl
demiologiSt to the city TO make
an investigation. While the To-
cal health department does not
feel that the disease is beyond
control in South Bend, yet it was
thought advisable yesterday to
summon aid from both the state
health department. and the war
department.
The inference that may be
drawn from the request to the
surgeon general at Washington
is an alarming one. The tele-
gram to this high authority
shows the seriousness Of the situa-
ton and the absolute necessity for
South Bend people 10 take every
precautionary measure possible 10
prevent further infection. The text
of the telegram 10 the surgeon gen
eral follows:
Typhoid epidemic i'm South
Bend. Fifty cases i'm Is days
Ten cases reported today. Prob
ably due TO infected city water
supply. One hundred drafted
men ordered to Louisville on

ton?
