Volunteers Wanted
to Help With Books

Mrs. Louis Lachmund, as chairman
of committee appointed for labelling
and preparing the 2200 books recently
given to the soldiers, announces that
it will require the help of about %
willing workers this week to prepare
the books for shipment to Portland
and Camp Lewis.
Tuesday afternoon, from l:30 O'Clock
until 5 O'Clock, those who are willing
to do patriotic work are asked to come
to the library and help. The work is
not difficult. but the handling of 2200
books is considerable of task and
it will be necessary to call for voun-
teers.
Beginning Wednesday, workers can
be used both in mornings and after
moons. This work is the pasting on of
labels, arranging the card pocket and
stamping ON the label. 1t is quito easy
but just takes time. Hence the call for
volunteers to work at the library dur
ing the week.

TO IMPORT AUSTRALIAN WHEAT

Arrangements have been made by the food adminstra-
ton to of the surplus wheat of Australia and
Argentine to the United States japan has agreed to
furnish the United States more than half million tons
of shipping and about half Of this at This will be
used for bringing wheat from Australia first and then
part of the ships will be kept steadily in this trade
Australia has 15000000O bushels laying her wharves
awaiting shipment and nowhere is the shortage Of ships
better exempfed than by this fact With all the tonnage
made available by the acquisition Of Japanese ships it will
be possible only about ten million bushels of the
Australian crop and that Of the Argentine, by the first
of September To accomplish this quite fleet of Swedish
ships will also be used ship Of six thousand tons capac
ty would carry but 100000 bushels of wheat and to move
the crop now waiting in Australia would require fleet
of $50 such Ships of $50 ships each making five round
trips AS arrangements have been made for landing
1666,0O bushels month at Pacific coast ports this
means the equivalent of eight ships of 5000 tons each
arriving every month"; This by the way should relieve the
lumber industry some for with Australia and the Orient
needing lumber is not likely the ships will be allowed to-
return empty.

Typhoid Fever, No. /.
By ANDREW F. CURRIER, MD.

AS almost everybody knows,
this is one Of the commonest of
diseases, more or fewer cases be-
Ing present almost constantly.
Wherever insufficient attention is
given to drainage, water supply and
general sanitation, there typhoid
fever is apt to be prevalent.
1t most frequently attacks young
adults or those who are mature, but
no period Of life and neither sex
is immune to it.
Essentially 1t Is Inflammation of
certain groups of small glands in
the intestine and its supporting
band, the mesentery, and of the
spleen. The germ which causes it
Is known as the Bacillus typhosus
and it may be found in the evacua.
tlons from the bowel.
1t lives in water and grows with
great rapidity unless it is DESTROYED
by suitable antiseptics.
1t gets into water that is used
for washing, drinking, or cooking
and finally gets back into the
human body.
Possibly it is carried by the air
and may be taken in by the nose
or mouth and it is very frequently
introduced by milk or other food,
solid or liquid which may have
been contaminated by it.
Typhoid carriers are people who
carry the germs about with them.
perhaps for years, and do not
themselves seem to be Injured by
them, but by injecting materials.
particularly food with which thew
come in contact, they may trans
nit the disease to any number of
people who happen to be sensitive
to it.
When these ge- reach the in.

they attack the glands which were
mentioned as the essent IL seat of
the disease and, during the subse-
quent ten days to three weeks the
