HAS BUT ONE SOURCE
Human Body Source of Typhoid
Germs

Human Body Source of Typhoid
Germs
"Typhoid fever has one and only
one source" says the State Board Of
Health, "the human intestines of a
typhoid patient or carrier. Animals
other than man do not have typhoid.
In the human intestines the typhoid
bacilli grow and multiply and are
passed out in the evcretions of the
body. Human excrement is, there
fore, the direct source Of all typhoid.
Succeeding cases of typhoid fever
are caused only by these germs find
ing their way back into the human
body. In other words, the germs caus-
ing typoid must be either eaten or
drunk. Foul odors OR decaying ami
NAL or vegetables matter have moth
ing to do with the spread of typhoid
directly. They affect only Indirectly
by furnishing breeding material for
flies. -'A
Files are the chief spreaders' of
typhoid, though fingers, food, water
and milk play no small part in it's
spread. To control flies and insist
on clean food and drink is to be prac-
tlcally safe from typhoid, but where
none or only a few of these things
exist, the best safeguard is to be vac
clnated against typhoid.
Wmle 1t is exceedingly advisable"
says the board, Ito be vaccinated
against this disease on having been
exposed to it or on going where the
ln1ectlon is likely to be met, as on |
tours or outing expeditions. |
It IS all the more advisable to be vac
as a general precaution and
as another form of life insurance.
The number Of the typhoid carriers
nave proved to be many and no man
AN spot them till after they have
lone their work."

HEALTH WORK MUST BE PUSHED

AuThor5tes in the State Are Convinc-
ed That Efficiency of the Fighting
Force Depends Upon Efficiency
Back Home
State Beard of Health Bulletin.
Health authorities in the State are
united ON the proposition that if ev-
er there was time when preventive
and curative health measures should
be taken, it is now. No longer do ar
mics fight wars by themselves. Now
ut is q struggle of civil populations
Iust as truly as it is a fight between
armed forces, especially SO if it is
taken into consideration that the ar
my can move on more rapidly and
strike more effectively than the in
dustria1 forces of the civil population
viii permit.
The maintenance Of efficiency at
home is the supreme task. Efficien-
cy I'm the field, because of the organ
lied and disciplined character of the
human element involved, is a much
easier problem. Among the civil
population, the mortality Of the old
and the young is greatly increased
through the strain and stress of war
while the normal, mental and physi
cal strength is maintained with great
difficulty, and while infectious and
degenerative diseases increase great
ly,
DR.. Frederick L. Hoffman, disting-
uished statistician of an American
life insurance company, has outlined
a method Of keeping a finger on the
national pulse. He would have a
national health organization report
through representatives in every
State and section of the country, the
health and welfare of the civil popu-
lation. These reports transferred to
a map in the central office by means |
of little pins, could give at glance
the trend of the battle.
This scheme, it has long ago been
determined, will be adopted by the
State Board of Health for the daily
record of infectious diseases and it
will be administered by the State
epidemiologist, who will receive from
county quarantine officers immediate
reports on the outbreak of any in
fectious disease.

The Winter Garden a Delight

West Raleigh, Aug. 15-Many
persons who have never before main
tanned vegetable garden have this
year been surprised at the ease with
which it can be done, the better health
they have enjoyed because of bet
ter balanced diet, the pleasure of
being able to have their own vege-
tables in considerable variety, and
the profit to be made from a small
area by a little planning and atten-
ton.
The next question is, will these
persons be content to drop all these
pleasures and advantages in this year
Of need and let the areas So devoted
during the spring and summer lie
idle and useless during the fall and
winter when, in this climate, it is
possible to continue to reap the same
benefits the year round?
1t is SO easy to maintain the garden
IN a growing condition all the wear
that it is wonder all-the- year gar
dens have not been the rule rather
than the exception. Just as toma-
toes followed early peas, onions, let
tuce, and radish in the spring plant
spinach Or cabbage in the fall. Fol
low up the spring squash with turnips
and lettuce, kale Or beets. Plant eel
cry, endive, rutabaga, and, later on,
set out winter onion sets and another
crop of cabbage for winter and
spring use. In addition to these,
make successive paintings of lettuce
and rs1lish in the field and cold
frames to supplement each other and
provide continuous supply. If these
are had, in addition to the parsnips,
parsley, carrots, and satisfy planted
IN the spring, preceding, one surely
ought to be able to see what an ap-
petizing addition to the winter sup
plies for the table are insured. With
the sweet potatoes and Irish potatoes
secured from the second crop plant
ed early in August, a full supply is
at hand for the most exacting re-
luirements.
Do not lay the ganden by as if it
we're corn or cotton field, but keep
t working all the year, and thereby
louble your saving Of money which
will otherwise go to fill the pockets

QUARANTINE LAW EFFECTIVE
Put Into Operation With Part of
County Machinery Not Yet in Mo-

Put Into Operation With Part OF
County Machinery Not Yet in Mo.
ton
State Board of Health Bulletin.
The new State law Tor the control
Of contagious diseases, which became
operative in North Carolina August
1, will for probably a month yet be
administered with a part of the coun-
ty machinery not in motion.
Because Of the fact that quaran-
tine officers provided for in the law
have not been named in number of
counties, and because of the monthly
scale Of salaries provided for the ser
vice, these counties must necessar-
lily be held back until September. The
State Board of Health has sent out
requests to such counties that all
communicable diseases included in the
list of those which come under the
provisions of the law, be reported
directly to the board by the physi-
clans. This, however, refers onlv to
those counties in which county quar-
anime officers have not yet been ap-
pointed.
The diseases which they are to re-
port include whooping cough, scarlet
fever, typhoid, fever, bubonic plague,
measles, smallpox, typhus fever, yell
low fever, diphtheria, infantile pa
ralysis, asiatic cholera, and cerebro-
spinal meningitis. All reports should
be made to the State Epidemiologist,
Raleigh, N. C.
The board realizes that it must de-
pend a great deal upon the co-opera-
ton Of the physicians of the State in
making this law effective. In a let
'er that has just been mailed to the
physicians, DIR. w. S. Rankin, secre-
AIRY Of the board, says:
THE North Carolina State Board
# Health takes this occasion to again
acknowledge its sincerest appreciation
or the sympathetic interest and co,
'peratlon of the physicians of North
;arolina in the enforcement Of the
states health laws, and, on the past
ecord Of the profession, We look
.lth full confidence to yet greater
cooperative ACHIEVEMENTS by the State
nd profession"

INSTEAD of the university of Nortl

terms of the will of Mrs. Robert
Worth Bingham, who was Mrs. Hen.
~ M. Flagler, that institution will
get $4,000 annually for Fl wears
and at the end of that time will re-

yield $4,000 a year, at the prevail.
ing legal rate of interest, forever

This permanent endowment will
be known as the "Kenan professor
ship" and the funds will be used to-
wards better paying the professors
OF the university for their services
an educating the coming generations
OF Mrs. Bingham's native State,
which she loved with a love that is
thus most beautifully indicated.
The university will now take it's
place among, the largest and fore
most institutions in the country and
continue its work of service and
usefulness to the commonwealth
which it has so nobly served for gen
erations. That Carolinians from one
emu OF the State to the other will
appreciate the munificient gift need
not be enlarged upon.
This large endowment comes from
q @e%@er Of the Kenan family which
has for generations lived in Eastern
North Carolina, and all of whom
have always taken a prominent part
and deep interest in everything per-
tanning to the upbuilding Of the
State. Mrs. Bingham was Miss
Mary Lily Kenan, daughter of Capt.

PROSPERITY IN FIGURES

We gather from Bradstreet's that bust
ness has decidedly picked up in the South
during the past year. Summarizing bust
ness failures in the United States from 1917
back to 1913, the review shows that over
the country generally there were 235 fail
ures during the week of November LIST Of
the current year, 297 for 1916, 284 for 1915,
317 for 1914, and 241 for '13.
If these figures mean anything they indi-
cate that although money is plentiful and
the demand active, the average dealer has
very little more show now to get by than
he had before the war started
But the figures of the southern district
show very decided contrast. For the
week Of November LIST, 1917, there were A
failures in the southern area, as compared
with II for the corresponding week of 1916.
That prosperity is marching southwark
with an increased demand for lumber and
cotton, these figures are an eloquent indi-
cation.

'1DREAMERS OF DREAMS
INTERESTS MR.. BRADFORD.
Florala, Ala, Nov. IL, 1917.
;. The Dan,.oolo Tnr,rna1.

Florala, Ala, Nov. IL, 1917.
Editor The Pensacola Journal:
Your editorial in today's paper,
entitled "Dreamers Of Dreams, inter-
ested me very much, and caused me
to think that you might be interested
in a statement on the same subject by
a paid-in-advance reader of your
paper.
The reference is especially to your
statement that tthe mutterings and
rumblings of the impending world
conflict were seemingly caught by
several acute minds of the earth;
and the subsequent statement, fol-
lowing your reference to Tolstol
predictions, that these predictions
are of intense interest
The writer has never seen Tolstol's
predictions; nevertheless, in the
course of an advertised lecture, de-
livered in the city Of Minneapolis as
long ago as the year 1913, he def
nlteiy predicted exactly such con-
f1ict to begin not later than the early
autumn of the year 1914. His object
in now calling your attention. 1t Is
not his desire to force himself into
the class of acute minds, for he posi-
lively disclains that the prediction
was produced by any acuteness of his
own. He based his forecast on data
fully as tangible and reasonable as
is used by the best of weather fore
casters, presented the same at that
time in elaborate detail, and is now
able to reproduce it for the benefit
of any who are interested.
The same domain of data that fur
nished the material for the forecast
ing of the extent of this world strug-
gle, and for so accurate fore
shadowing of it's date, also furnishes
most interesting evidence as to the
cause of the struggle, the extent of
its influence, the results that will flow
therefrom, and the outcome and af-
termath. This domain is as accessi-
BILE to any of your readers as to the
writer; therefore those who do not
feel themselves possessed of acute
minds need not despair of sharing in
these visions of the future
viii it spoil the interest or &C.
centrate it If we venture to disclose
the secret that the domain referred
to is that of the sacred Scriptures?
Many of our readers will be sur
prised at the findings that will re-
ward their own Independent investi-
cation along the line of this sug-
gestion. If any desire more than
the mere suggestion, it will be theirs
for the mere asking.
Respectfully yours,
w. HI. CRAWFORD.

SPEAKING FOR THE FAIR

From the standpoint of attendance, the
Molino fair to date hasn't been all that
could be desired. More interest is expected
to be shown today and tomorrow, but
neither one swallow nor two makes sum-
mer and by the same token, fair designed
to run week should not depend for It's sue
cess upon one day or two.
The men backing this venture have IN
vested their time, energy and money tor
the public welfare. They were and are
actuated by motives entirely unselfsh, and
the active support of the people, OF this
county at any rate, is certainly due them
Furthermore, from the standpoint OF the
public interest, there is every reason to
support such an undertaking. 1t is through
these methods largely that agricultural
knowledge and stimulus are gained. Ex-
perts have been assembled at this fair from
all parts of the state, who are capable OF
the most intelligent discussion of the prob
lens of the farmer and the stock raiser.
Furthermore, exhibits are shown to dem
onstrate the practical aspect of the applica-
ton of modern principles to production.
1t would seem to be, therefore, both
short sighted, and using the term in it's
local aspect unpatriotic, to withhold sup
port from this laudab1e undertaking.
