scheming stage. And why was this Because the American sleuths out witted and baffled the so-called crack Secret Service of Germany.
 There i1 now going on in New York a, trial which brings out the daring and enterprise of our governmental sleuths. Captain Franz von Rinteler came to this country for the purpose of starting trouble. He had with him an unlimited expense account. He spent his money lavishly wherever it would best further the cause of the Fatherland. But one of the men he spent his money with was always in touch with the Department of Justice. As consequence, the Head of the German Secret Service in America" was rounded up' and used as a tool by special agents of the Department.
 We hear much of the wonderful methods employed by the Secret Ser vice men of other countries,-Ger- many, England, Russia and France. We seldom learn what our own men are doing. or what they have done. Except for trials such as the one now going on in New York the American people might never know their coun- try is so we'll protected against the conniving of outsiders. Men in the American Secret Service and the Bureau of Investigation of the De- partment of Justice do not go around with iron crosses on their chests or epaulets on their shoulders; but they get there just the same.

Typhoid fever is found only in man.
It is caused by a short rod-shaped
microscopic vegetable, which enters
the body through the mouth and leaves
it in human discharges to enter an
other human mouth to which it is car
ried by fingers, flies, fluids and food.
1t is essentially a disease of young
adult life. Older people are less apt
to have it probably because they have
suffered from an attack of the disease
in their youth
Typhoid fever is known by various
names, "slow fever" Glow fever" but
whatever name it is called by it kills
about per cent of those whom it at
tacks. A certain percentage of those
who recover become carriers, that is,
persons who though we'll excrete the
organisms of the disease in their dis
charges. Carriers are largely respon-
sible for the perpetuation of typhoid
fever but the installation of proper
sewer systems which not only take
away noxious wastes but also do not
deposit them in some one elses water
supply, the abolition of flies, cock
reaches, and other filth insects, the
maintenance of a pure food supply,
and the intelligent care of the typhoid
patient, these are the measures which
will rid us from this disease Until
very recently typhoid has been the
scourge of armies but now the anti
typhoid incubation has reduced this
danger to a minimum.
