BY DIR. A. A. sOULE

Typhoid fever started with civiliza-
ton. for it is we'll recognized in the
descriptions Of Hippocrates, 400 B. C.
Since 1850 typhus fever is considered
and is a separate disease. Parathy-
phoid is caused by bacillus interme-
date between the typhoid and colon
group.
The bacillus typhosus, which causes
typhoid fever, is q short rod-like, col
orless plant about one-third the diam
eter Of red blood cell. 1t Is killed
by moist heat Of 156 deg. F.. but cold
does not destroy 1t. 1t Is found to
be alive after freezing and thawing
number Of times. It will live ON
your clothes ninety days. and in the
soil much longer. Sunlight will de-
stroy 1t. It is carried to man thru
the water. milk. oysters. raw fruit or
vegetables that are infested.
Typhoid fever is losing its terror.
Even II the typhoid fly is still wiping
his feet on our food. the disease il
less formidable. 1t Il losing its grim
place as causing one-Afth OF the
worlds mortality. Vaccination is
preventing and cutting short the dis.
ease.
Vaccination or incubation by the
killed germ is safe. accidents rarely
following. In the Spanish War at
Jacksonville. Fla. 5000 cases of
typhoid developed among 10000
troops. with 24S deaths. On the
Mexican border. where the troops
were vaccinated. only one case de-
veloped. and no deaths. The Cana
dian railway company vaccinates
their $4,000 employees.
After vaccination immunity is good
for one year. It takes three doses
from three days apart to ten days.
The first dose may consist Of 600.-
0O0. 900 killed bacteria. The second
and third doses are larger. There is
some headache. nausea and pain at

Patriotic Mary Draper.

There was Mary Draper 70 Massa-
chusetts, who surely did her "bit" for
American independence when she sent
husband and son to the front with all
dispatch; and when the daughter
begged that the boy might be left at
home, she said: "He Is needed, and
must go. You and have also service
to do. Food must be prepared for
the hungry, for before tomorrow night
hundreds will be on their way to join
the Colonial forces, and we must feed
as many as we can."
Mary Draper's bread and cheese and
cider kept many a weary soldier from
exhaustion as he passed on his way
to the war. Nor did she stop with
this service. Her stock of pewter ves-
sells went into the melting pot, and
with a mold for casting bullets, she
transformed her domestic utensils into
balls for the Continental army.
Then there was humble Molly
Pitcher, whose herolsm on the field of
battle at Monmouth has been recount
ed upon the pages of American his
tory; and her firing the gun when her
gunner husband was stricken dead by
the enemy has become a familiar
story. This humble wife of a barber
had the heart Of a heroine, although
her mission was but to carry water to
those who needed 1t, and she was to
win her reward when the commander
in chief himself commissioned her O
sergeant.

Treasures From Europe.

Some of the salvaged treasures of
Dattle-torn Europe are commencing to
find their way into the Metropolitan
Museum of Art in New York, and
some priceless importations have been
unveiled that would have been mac
cessible two years ago. The new ac-
Quisitions consist of a group of two
complete windows and four circular
medallions, all from designs of one
artist, made at one period, for one
abbey church, and that abbey situated
only 20 miles from what Is today the
battle line between France and her
enemies, within sound of the cannon
of st. Mihiel and Verdun. The win
dows are typical and excellent exam
pies of the art of glass-making as
practiced in France during the early
and best phase Of the Northern renais-
sance. The first home of these win
dows was the Abbey Of Flavigny, near
Nancy, Toul and Luneville. OF the
two complete windows one illustrates
the Deluge, the other Moses and the
Law. The other two windows show
Moses presenting the tablets of the
Law to the Hebrews.

Friend of Great Men.

About this time the revolutionary
spirit was running high, and Ann Ram
say became fully imbued with patri-
Otic fervor. Her zeal took the form of
collecting money for the equipment
and use of the army, and so great
was the confidence placed In her abil-
ity in this regard that she was made
treasurer of all moneys collected for
the purpose in the township Of Alex
andria.
So successful were her efforts that
she turned over a sum exceeding $75,-
900 to the cause. Thomas Jefferson In
his writings accredited her with be-
ing one Of the most patriotic women In
Virginia, and George Washington Of
fered to assist In the education Of one
of her sons.
Mrs. Ramsay reared two sons to
fight for the cause of American indie
pendence. One served as a surgeon
in the Continental army; the other as
colonel In the Virginia line.
When this brave woman died, on
April 1, 17S5, Washington attended her
funeral, for his diary contains this en-
try: 'Went to Alexandria to attend
the funeral of Mrs. Ramsay on Fri
day last"

wounded. His wounds were so seri
GUS that he lived only until January II,
when he died in room which you may
visit today.
Washington Saved the Day.
1t was about the time when Mercer
fell that Washington heard the sound
of conflict and returned as fast as pos
sible. Seeing his scattering troops, he
rode straight to the front himself, sum-
moning them to follow. 1t was one of
his most drastic and gallant acts.
Straight toward the enemy he rode,
did not stop until he was within 80
yards of them, and face to face, COM
manded every American to follow, and
stood swathed in smoke while stimuli
taneous volley arose from both sides.
When the smoke cleared away he stood
unharmed. The British were over
whelmed. The entire action, from the
moment when MERGERS first shot was
fired, had occupied just 20 minutes.
Mawhood with his men was pursued by
the patriots for three or four miles,
and lost many on the way as prisoners
to the conQuering Americans.
It was at about this time that Corn
wallis awoke. He heard the sound
of distant firing, thought it must be
thunder, but was informed by Erskine
of the sensational fact that ''Washing-
ton has outgeneraled us!" His speed
was put forth to reach Princeton,
where he found his troops thoroughly
chastised and Washington, with his
men, safely out of harms way, en- route
to the Morristown Heights.

Splendid Work of D. A. r.

To come down to present-day wom-
en-, the Daughters Of the American
Revolution have surely done their part
for American independence. They have
accomplished an immense amount of
memorial work, and there Is hardly a
city or town on the Atlantic seaboard
in or near which battles Of the Revo-
luton were fought where there Is not
some evidence of their work in record
ing the revolutionary deeds of their
ancestors, their aim being to perpetu-
ate the memory of the heroes who
wrought independence for our coun-
try.
The second object of this society is
to perpetuate independence itself, and
there is nothing in the world so inde-
pendent as the real American spirit.
The work of this and many kindred
womans organizations throughout the
United States is among the immi-
grants, and it is one of the finest
things they are doing. The women
are teaching these aliens to become
good citizens, endeavoring to imbue
them with the spirit of true American
ism.
American independence was mani
tested and sustained by the women at
the time of the Revolution, as it was
in later years, and as it is being mani
tested and sustained today in every
section of our land.

ing noisily, the main part of the troops
quietly withdrew from the Assanpink
and stole lightly off toward Princeton,
and the British bivouacked and slept
with comfortable snores. One of the
most remarkable qualities possessed
by Washington appears to have been
the ability to omit sleep on every oc-
casion when it paid to stay awake.
Washington's Plans Well Laid.
His plans were complete. He knew
every road and crossroad on the way
to Princeton. He had made sure that
the way to that town was unguarded.
He knew that most of the British
troops had been removed from Prince
ton, and he made the clear deduction
that only few, moreover, could be
remaining at Brunswick, where the
enemy had rich magazines. His
maximum ambition, then, was to take
Princeton, and push on to Brunswick
and avail himself of all he found
there. This, however, he knew to be
a somewhat extravagant hope. But he
felt that he could achieve Princeton,
at least, and then withdraw to the
heights of Morristown to recuperate.
Soon after midnight, when the Sd
of January had not yet dawned, the
march began, in new, sudden wave of
bitter cold which followed the days of
thaw. Bancroft tells us that it was
about sunrise when the troops arrived
at the southeastern outskirts of Prince
ton. Mercer was detached and went
toward the west with about $50 men.
There were already about two British
regiments on the march to join Corn
wallis, leaving far behind them the
very town where they were needed,
while CORVALLIS peacefully awaited
them to help overwhelm the Ameri-
cans whom he supposed to be behind
those delusive campfres.
But Mawhood, with number about
equal to MERGERS men, saw the ap-
proach of the Americans and returned
to the conflict. The two forces rushed
-Mawhood leading a body of men
| trained, fresh, armed with bayonets
Mercer in command of a group poorly
trained ill-equipped, almost exhausted
with a nights march Of 1S miles
through bitter cold, and almost entire
| ly rifiemen, bearing scarcely any bay
onets, to meet the hostile charge. A
terrific, swift encounter took place, at
the end of which the Americans gave
way and fed, abandoning their cannon,
while their officers remained on the
field, calling the men back. Haslet,
Neal, Fleming, were among those who
fell. and Mercer dropped to the ground

Acrea of Coal Af1oat.

Only in the United States can such
a sight be seen as six acres of coal
floating down q river as single unit.
This is the area Of coal boats the
stern-wheel steamer Sprague Is capa-
BILE of handling as single tow. Four
across-stream rows Of 12 boats each
make up the principal part, according
to the Popular Science Monthly. Back
of the fourth row, however, eight boats
find places together with two barges.
Hence there are Sc boats and two
barges in the big fleet. The Sprague
has her nose showed in at the center
of the fifth row. The SO vessels are
lashed securely together by lines which
run from boat to boat. Although the
Sprague can push the feet ahead, her
chief duty is to hold back the load.
This great amount of coal is handled
by relatively small total Of horse
power because the current Of the on
flowing river supplies a large part of
the requisite energy.

Spinach Good Garden crop.

There is, perhaps, no other garden
crop which gives as much satisfaction
as spinach. Ordinarily it occupies the
land during the autumn and winter
and does not interfere, therefore, with
the production of summer vegetables.
Three or four ounces Of seed planted
in the autumn after the summer crop
has been harvested will produce an
abundance of greens for the average
family during the late autumn and
early spring. In gathering spinach the
entire plant is removed instead of
merely cutting off the leaves. By Sc
lecting the larger plants first, the
smaller or later ones are given room
to develop. This method does away
with the necessity of thinning.

Model for All Nations.

One hundred and forty-one years
have elapsed since the ringing of Lib
erty Bell announced the signing of the
Declaration of Independence, which
was to mean so much to the people of
America and of the world. The nation
whose career historians trace from
that event has taken it's place among
the most powerful on earth, and at the
present moment is especially the re-
splendent model for all others and the
hope of oppressed humanity.
How bright the skies above her! How
fair her broad domains!
How rich the warm life current that
courses through her veins!
Her young brow fronts the nations with
a promise half divine.
From the frozen hills of Norway to the
land of oil and wine;
And Teuton, Celt and Saxon, cowed down
with toll and care,
With longing eyes look westward, and
bless her unaware.

A LTHOUGH an aging woman
~ at the time of the Revolution
n ary war, Mary Washington la
bored lncessantly with her serv-
ants In making clothing for the sol
diers, herself knitting many pairs of
stockings for their use. And upon his
return home from the field her dis
tinguished son never failed In show
Ing reverence for his mother by Wis
iting the little cottage In Fredericks-
burg, where she still gave him words
Of counsel and encouragement, which
doubtless fulfilled their part in the
great cause.
And who can say that Martha Wash
ington did not do her part for Ameri-
can independence when she shared the
awful winters In camp with the COM
mander in chief7 The officers and the
nen welcomed her coming, for her
presence brought them cheer and in
many cases comfort and relief from
suffering. She was wont to say In her
later life that she heard the first can
non at the opening and the last at the
closing Of all the campaigns of the
Revolutionary war. She walked by
the side of her lord through every
step of his career, ascending the diff
cult path that opened before him, and
at length stood with him on the sum-
init, deservedly sharing In the glory
Of his renown.

HERE are a few historic spots
only few, perhaps-in our
country which send away the
casual visitor both chastened
and uplifted in soul. One approaches
nonchalantly, aiming kodak and q
fiippant remark-and departs hushed.
Not Stony Point, for One-that pro-
duces riot of victorious emotions.
Not MOnmOuth-Molly Pitcher is far

the miles of defeat back toward

But PrincetonI There we find a
triumph so splendid as to be inspir-
ing, but so hardly won, at such a cost,
that it bushes us, awes us, while we
glory in it. There is a somber splen-
dor in the story of Princeton.
Here was played that famous little
game of Washington's, which made the
name of "Old Fox" seem rather
fiattering than otherwise. 1t stands
with some of his wiliest moves,
among them that secret withdrawal
from Brooklyn across the river in 81
lent boats. On this occasion he caused
campfireS to be built along the shore
OF the Assanpink, while the work of
making intrenchments apparently went
en- through the night. Even the sound
VI the axes reached British ears, and
theJ fell asleep, lulled by what they
believed to be full knowledge of the
rebels movements and intentions.

Alexandria's Heroine.

Alexandria had heroine in the
less well known than those
whose praises have often been sung.
This was Ann McCarty Ramsay, who
was the daughter of Maj Dennis Nc
Carly, and his wife, Sarah Ball, who
was a cousin of the mother of George
Washington.
Ann McCarty was born in 1871, and
early in life met and married William
Ramsay, a native of Scotland, who set
tied as trader and merchant in Alex
andria In 1744, and early and fully
identified himself with the colony of
Virginia. His extensive commercial
and shipping connections enabled him
to supply much Of the outfit to the mill
tary expeditions of Virginia from 1854
to 1763, and he served for q time as
captain of a military company under
Washington. Records show that his
family was on terms of intimacy with
the family at Mount Vernon.
