Vaccination For Typhoid

Persons living in a community In
which cases of typhoid fever have de-
veloped should be vaccinated at their
earliest opportunity, according to L. D.
Bushnell, professor of bacteriology in
the Kansas State Agricultural college.
There Is no law compelling persons to
be vaccinated. If any one desires to be
vaccinated for typhoid fever he must
apply to his physician. Vaccination Is
a reasonably sure method to avoid ty-
phoid, but its effectiveness depends 10
some extent ON the organism used for
making the vaccine.
Vaccination against typhoid fever
consists of the injection Of several
drops Of vaccine under the skin of the
arm. Three injections, given at ten
day intervals, are sufficient for immuni-
zation. Slight local pain may follow
the injection. In few cases head
ache may result.

HOW TO SLEEP
The Human Body Must Be Refreshed
Or the Health Will Be Greatly
impaired

High-strung nerves, stomach trou-
bles, headaches and general i'll health
may all result from sleeping under
poor hygienic conditions. 1t makes
little difference upon what you sleep
provided you are accustomed to that
kind of bed and awake the next dGy
refreshed and fit. But if you would
rest we'll and get most out of your
sleep the body should have some
preparation before retiring.
Too many people tumble into bed
with a body truly filthy and a skin
very little more active than rawhide.
The waxy materials from the skin
glands become mixed with sweat and
dust during the day, and when this
mixture becomes dry the pores are
closed up and become diseased AMI
inactive. Good health cannot contin-
ue indefinitely under these conditions,
and if the wastes are not properly
got rid of the sleep will be restless
and fitful. A bath Of some kind will
we'll repay the trouble not only at the
time, but in helping to keep the in,
ternal organs healthy, because an act
i've skin will do it's share in clearing
up the debris of the day just past.
If you must keep all the other win
dows closed tight, for goodness sake
open the windows of the bedroom
Night air is dangerous? One would
think all air was dangerous, the way
most folks shut it out of the house.
There is every reason why you
should keep the bedroom windows
open, and except in rare instances
there is no reason why they should
be closed, even in the coldest winter
If the drafts from open windows are
Objectionable, the location of the bed
should be changed,
Unfortunately houses have not been
built for comfortable living. Get your
windows down from the top in the
bedroom and nail them down so that
they cannot be closed. If you cannot
live In the fresh air, this world is not
the place for you. After you have
learned to sleep in the pure air you
will have fewer bodily ailments. The
great sacrifice of useful lives to tuber
culosis would not occur if the sleep
ing rooms had the sash entirely re
moved, instead Of being closed tight
ly.

HEAL Rv coLoR's AID

0ondon Cor, New York Herald.)
H. Kemp Prosser, who designed the
two interiors in the French play La
bergette' at the Garrick theatre,
thinks persons who wish to retain
their vitality and normality in war
time should avoid certain colors.
Cardinal red he said, lis the
symbol OF murder, hate and cruelty.
Sage green means vileness and brown
decay.
Lemon yellow, on the other hand,
suggests to persons who are sensitive
to color influence, light and life. That
is why l suggest this color should
dominate color schemes in hospitals
and homes for wounded soldiers.
'1n my rest room at Chelsea for SOL
diers the symbolical colors used were
lemon yellow, mauve, sapphire, tur-
quoise and blue. A golden piano was
draped with lemon yellow curtain,
on which were embroidered a dove
bearing the emblem of peace, an
Egyptian symbol expressing the Keys
of Life and white rose, emblem of
power and silence. Beautiful lamps

Mothers Doll Story
The Candy Box

There was once a big wax doll who
had beautiful clothes and long golden
curls. To tell the truth, she was q
spoiled doll, for her mamma paid her
great deal of attention, and she had a
doll house to live in almost as grand as
the one her mamma lived in herself.
One day when her mamma had gone
to school this wax doll, whose name
was Margaret, left her own house to
go to walk in the playrOom. Almost
the first thing she saw was big white
box that she thought would make a
lovely trunk.
Just what / need to pack my new
hat with the blue plume in," thought
Margaret, tucking the box under her
arm and going back into her doll house
So she sat down in her small rocking
chair and took the lid off the box.
And what do you think was inside7
A boxful of candy that her mamma
had got from Santa Claus.
Now, Margaret liked candy so much
that she ate and ate. She forgot that
her mamma had taught her that candy
makes stomach aches, She forgot she
was eating somebody else's candy. She
Just ate till the box was almost empty
and then she threw the rest out of the
window and packed her new hat with
the blue plume in the box.
But soon she began to feel sick, and
whep her mamma got back from school
she gave Margaret big pill and put
her to bed till her stomach ache got all
better.

Bertholy of Sandusky to find her hus-
band, H. Paul Bertholy, who was torn
from her side and pressed into ser
vice in the kaiser's army, in Germany
at the outbreak of the war in Europe
after the honeymoon spent at the
home of Bertholy's parents in little
town near Berlin. Mr.. Bertholy for
merly managed the Alvin theatre
here.
Several attempts to ascertain Ber-
tholy's whereabouts, made with the
assistance of United States authori-
ties of high station and German offio-
ials have failed. So now Mrs. Ber-
tholy is going to write a letter to the
kaiser.
II will write often" were Bertholys
last words as he left her. They were
spoken as the young husband was
being led off by two German soldiers
But no word from him has come to
the wife In Sandusky or to his parents
in Germany from whom Mrs. Bertholy
hears at frequent intervals. 1t may
be he is dead, although his name, in
sofar as his wife and parents know,
has never been published in the list
of slain.

a small boy, was anxious to see his
parents and to have them know his
wife.
Early in August the start was made

husband was told he would have to
enlist and fight. We parted and that
is the last have ever seen or heard
of him"
There is little Paul now that Mrs.
Bertholy tells bedtime stories of a
''big soldier papa" who some day
maybe-will cuddle him in his arms
and tell him stories or the great war.
Paul was born about six months af-
ter Mrs. Bertholy returned from the
other side.

In the pink Of condition, the high
school basketball team of this CITY
is ready to meet the quintet OF Com
mercial high school Of Columbus
Saturday evening at the local Y. NJ. c.
A. and fight for the honors of the gym
floor. Under the able coaching OF
Coach McCrea OF the high school fac-
ulty, the quintet has come up to q
form unparalleled in the history OF
the Mt. Vernon high school.
In the Commercial high quintet, the
locals have strong foe, but with the
excellent material and the results
they have shown at practice, the Mt.
Vernon boys should vanquish their
outof-town foes.
West high, one of the strongest
basketball teams OF Columbus. was
recently defeated by the Commercial
high five. This in itself is a voucher
for the prowess OF the Commercial
high boys.
Under the leadership Of Captain
Blair, the locals will play their initial
game Saturday evening, with crowds
cheering them on to victory. Captain
Blair Is one of the best forwards in
the state, as far as inter-scholastic
games are concerned, and should
show up well.
Cunningham, Mt Vernon's able left
guard, is also a man to be watched =.
In fact, the entire quintet is one Of
exceptional quality and will probably
prove itself able to win the game.
