SOCIETIES FORMED TO
PROMOTE WAR SAVINGS
Organizations to Systematize Enroll
ment of Everyone i'm Pledging
Their Savings

War Savings societies and War
Savings organizations will be the
main plans of offense and defense in
the War Savings drive inaugurated
in Wisconsin and in every state in the
Union from June 18th to June 2Sth.
The societies are formed in every insti-
tuition, with organizations in the large
establishments. A War Savings or
ganizatiOn is the eliminating point OF
many War Savings societies and has
been inaugurated in the big establish
mentS of the state as a means of saw
ing bookkeeping and taking the entire
time of one of the front office men.
Each War Savings society is headed by
a President, treasurer and a secretary,
and one of these officers, in turn, re-
ports to the secretary of the War Saw
ings organization which includes all
of the societies. This makes the book
keeping almost automatic and the work
of keeping accounts down to the mini
mum.
1t is these organizations that will
lessen the work of the various workers
who will devote their time for the next
ten days. to the obtaining of War
Savings pledges. Every man, woman
and child in the state is expected to
sign one, the amount to be pledged
varying with the earning capacity of
the pledger.
Its is set forth that every little thing
that we have, every little thing that we
hope to have; all our thoughts, all our
spirits, all our force must go to hold
ing up the arms of our boys. The war
expenses for June, this year, will be
about $1,0O0,000.000 more than they
were for June of last year. But Uncle
Sam does not worry for he feels sure
that his people are with him. This he
will be more sure of after June 2Sth,
the day when every citizen of the
country is expected to attend school
house meeting and deposit his dupli-
cate pledge cards which will tell just
what he will subscribe towards the
government before December 31st.
The second line of defense-the stay
at-home army-must back the first
line-the army abrOad-this can only
be done by each one giving every penny
he can possibly spare. And then some

Control of East Coast Canal

Miami, July 12.-The east coast
canal of Florida and all the inland
waterways of the state, under feder'
al control and managed with view
to their complete utility for com
mercial and military purposes, with
water in the canal sufficient for all
purposes from Jacksonville to Mi
ami, is possibility for the immedi
ate future.
This was clearly indicated at a
special meeting of the East Coast
Chamber of Commerce in West Palm
Beach yesterday when Capt. A. A.
Poland and Capt. w. R, Messenger
representing the inland waterways
committee of congress, were special
guests and discussed with men from
all sections of the East coast the
present tonnage to and from this sec
ton and the possibilities under feder-
al control and development.
The entire day was devoted to con-
sideration Of the important question.
It's Importance lies in the fact that
upon the report to be made by these
two representative the inland water
ways committee will make it's report,
upon which will depend the taking
over of the inland waterways of this
state by the federal government. They
expect to return to Washington in
about ten days and make their re-
port. Last night they wen to New
Smyrna and Sanford to consult with
commercial organizations there, hav-
ing been previously in Miami, Jack
sonville and ST Augustine.

PREVENTIVE TREAT.
MENT OF TYPHOID

The brilliant results of incubation
against typhoid as shown in the Army
should be a strong incentive to all
who are engaged in the prevention OF
this disease, to make a far more in
tensive use Of this method of immuni-
cation against typhoid than has been
made. North Carolina reports show
very successful efforts have been
made in the last year or so, to bring
about the general immunization of
the public, county by county, and the
results in most of the counties are
very gratifying.
We may not succeed Immediately ir
getting the entire community immun
lied, but when typhoid appears in a
family, the action taken for the pre-.
lection of the other members of the
family should be as promptly taken
as it is when smallpox enters the
family. Inc State Board of Health
wishes to emphasize the fact thai
typhoid fever may be, and often is
spread by personal contact, or asso,
citation with the sick.
The following history of an unfor.
tunate family is given here as an IL
lustration; A family, consisting OF
parents and nine children, of which
one son returned with typhoid fever
The result was nine cases of typhoid
in that one household, all but the
mother and baby. Here is where vac
cination against the disease would
have played a very important role in
prevention.
There are cases Of typhoid SO typi-

cal that their recognition as such Is
a very difficult matter and they be-
come extra hazardous to others, be-
cause the danger is not suspected
When typhoid occurs in infants or in
young children, the true nature Of the
disease is often overlooked Not long
ago typhoid in infants was consid-
cred extremely rare. The mortality
and morbidity from State health de.
rartments still seem to confirm that
! impression-due probably to error II
diagnosis in very young children.
One of the northern States report
ISL deaths from typhoid, which oc-
Cured from 1909 to 1917 (seven
years.. Only nine of these victims
were under two years, and only thir-
ty-four were under five years. The
treason for this small showing Of child
Idecedents in mortality rates is due
largely to the fact that symptoms pre-
scented in typhoid in children are very
likely to be SO different from those
iseen in adults that many of them do
not come under medical observation,
or the attending physician may very
easily overlook, or fail to recognize
the cases as those of typhoid; and
the younger the child, the more likely
are symptoms to depart widely from
those seen in adults. Here it is, that
it is so important to have blood test
made.
The State Board of Health wants
the people to know that blood test
for typhoid is done at the State Lab
oratory, and typhoid vaccine furnished
within the State, for the asking.

Geneva, July 12-For pleading that
leinency should be extended to his
client, accused of the theft of some
clocks, because he lived for a long
time in Germany" NJ ANDERSON, a
Geneva attorney, has incurred the
wrath of the German legation in Swift
zerland.
AT the instance OF Baron Won Rom
bert, German Minister the attorney
general Of the confederation has
been asked to proceed against At.
torney ANDERSON. The complaint has
just been filed with the authorities by
the German consul in Geneva.
The thief's case was drawing to a
close and it was evident to hos at
'orney that a conviction was prob.
able. The latter elected therefore ia
throw his client on the mercy of the
court. He counted rather too liber
ally on the anti-German sentiment
prevailing in western Switzerland
when he pleaded longtime residence
in Germany as extenuating circum
stances for theft, for his client was
convicted, and he himself is apt tc
face prosecution for violation of Swiss
neutrality.
