Preventive Treatment of Typhoid
(Continued)

The brilliant results of inocula
ton against typhoid as shown il

centive to all who are engaged II
the prevention Of this disease te
make a far more intensive use OF
this method of immunization a.
gainst 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 immu-
nization of the public, county by
county, and the results in most of
the counties are very gratifying
We may not succeed immediate
ly in getting the entire commu-
nifty immunized, but when ty-
phoid appears in a family, the ac-
ton taken for the protection of
the other members of the family
should be promptly taken as it is
when smallpox enters the family
The state board of health wishes
to emphasize the fact that typhoid
fever, may be, and often is, spread
by personal contact, or association
with the sick.
The following history of an un- |
fortunate family is given here as
an Illustration: A family con- I
sisting of parents and nine chill
dren, of which one son returned /
with typhoid fever. The result
was nine cases of typhoid in that
one household, all but the mother
nd baby. Here is where vacci-
nation against the disease would
nave played very important role
n prevention. Z
There are cases of typhoid so .
typical, that their recognition as
'uch, is a very difficult matter )
nd they become extra hazardous 5
o others, because the danger is =
lot suspected. When typhoid oc-
urs IN infants or young children, i
ne true nature of the disease is "
item overlooked. Not long ago L
Uphold in infants was considered
extremely rare. The mortality
nd morbidity from state health il
apartments still seem to confirm C,
nat lmpression-due probably to il
rror In diagnosis in very young tt
hildren. az
One of the Northern states re- Pr
orts seven hundred and sixty q
lie deaths from typhoid, which w
'curred from 1909 to 1917 (seven eS
sars). Only nine of these vic We
ms were under ten years. and IF
lily thirty-four were under five all
'ars. The reason for this small -
owing of child decedents in =
ortallty rates, is due largely to \
e fact that symptoms presented |
typhoid in children, are very
lely to be so different from those
IN IN adults, that many of them
not come under medical obser-
tlon' or the attending physician
" very easily overlook, or fail

Father, after having finished His mis-
/ sion to the earthly abode Of mankind.
Three lessons Of perennial value we
discover in this event for men In the
midst OF the strife Of life. First, the
great and highly important truth that
Iby the ascension Christ entered up0n
! His eternal career as the universal King
4 Of all the races OF mankind. BY 70 He
ceased 20 be a local Messiah Of a single
nation and became the universal Lord
of al nations and kindred in The Clor-
/ ious consummation OF the divine pur-
pose Paradoxical as it may appear,
christ by His departure from Garth came
nearer to tho human race than lie
could have done had lie remained here
in the flesh But for this fact lie would
have been but a circumscribed and lim-
tied figure among the sons Of men.
Hemmed In by the restrictions OF the
world He would have been only a great
ly magnifed national hero but by His
ascension He has become the one Lord
Of an creation You, Sir Knights. can
only realize what the ascension means
when you have penetrated far beneath
the symbolic use you make OF 10 10
your ritual TO its incalculsblc value
as The most comforting and important
truth Of religion, the conscious reality
OF the present God IN every affair Of
nations and men. BY His ascension He
has hecome the universal Saviour of all
mankind and we know that
I t'Wherer we seek Him. He is found.
And every spot is hallowed ground
"The second Important truth which
/ emerges from this fact OF His lIfo is
that 10y it Christ becomes the reigning
/ liing OF the whole universe. He not only
( lives forever but He reigns, King OF
+ kings. and Lord OF lords. he takes his
seat In the place OF an power and au-
thority God hath highly exalted Him
and given Him a name above every
name that as His name every knee shall
bow. He shall rule until He makes His
/ foes His f0oisi0ol Christ in the place
OF power means indominable power and
courage and the assurance Of ultimate
victory 20 an who march beneath His
royal banner
However long and terrible may he
the conflict we who bow the knee 90
His sway know that there can be one
and only one issue 20 the struggle and
that Is. he shall plant His feet upon

Men Having Gray Eyes Have
Proved to Be Best MarkSmen

Gray-eyed men, says Fort Worth
correspondent, are the best marksmen.
This has been proved after eight
months experience at the rifle range
of Camp Bowie, and besides old army
experts will tell you the same thing.
When Capt. E. X. Breese was here
giving his instruction in the use Of the
new rifle he said that proficiency In
craftsmanship usually ran according
to the color of the eyes. men having
gray being the best shots, gray-blue
coming next, blue third, hazel fourth.
brown fifth, and black sixth.
Records show that soldiers whose
eyes are light brown to black cannot
shoot with accuracy at a distance
greater than 500 yards and at 800
wards miss the target altogether.
Even with different nations the
color of the eyes has determined
shooting ability. Nearly every Mex
lean has brown or black eyes and they
well, they are the poorest shots In
the world.

Hal Chase.

must be close to thirty-three years or
age, Vet to look at him in action one
would never suspect that the Califor-
MAN has seen nearly ten years of serv-
ice in the major leagues.
He has not been troublesome at the
bat thus far in the series, but he is all
over his side of the field, and the base
runners never take more than q pass
ing chance with his arm.
Apparently Chase has forsaken his
desire to create trouble for the man
agement or ownership, too. Hal seems
TO be one of the most satisfied mem
bers of the Reds, and he works like a
Trojan for Matty. Like a good many
other star FASTENERS, Hal possessed
the disposition of prima donna when
in the American league, but his serV-
ice in the Federal and since with Gin
cinnati has wrought big change In
the clever first baseman.

Infertile Eggs
Keep Best

The greatest loss in preserved eggs
comes from the fact that fertile eggs
are preserved, according to Z. ). An
serson of the Colorado Agricultural
college. Fertile eggs will keep equally
sx well as infertile eggs, providing az
mo time they have been brought to a
degree Of heat where the germ starts
to develop. In holding fertile eggs 1os
preserving, they should not be aiio"eu
to get above so degrees FahrenheI.
During the early spring months TINS IS
easily done, but in warmer weather
noultrymen should take the precau,ioh
and produce infertile eggs. Fertillza-
tion is not an incentive to egg proouc'
tion among domestic fowls, ana tne
number of eggs produced will be In no
way diminished. -

Fish a Valuable
Food
By the u. S. Department Of
Agriculture

Fish. which have always been reck-
oned as a valuable food. have been
shown by series of digestive expert
ments conducted by the department OF
agriculture to deserve Il more impOr-
tant place In every diet. The tests
show that fish are completely utilized
in the body.
In the experiments Boston mackerel,
huttertsh, salmon and graytsh-a va
riety not generally used in this coun-
try-were made into "Gsh lOaves' and
served as basis of Il simple mixed
diet to young men of healthy appc-
titeS.
Both the protein and the fat Of the
fish were we'll utilized. Following are
the percentages of protein digested !:
Boston mackerel, 93.1 per cent; but
terfiSh, 91.9 per cent; grayfish, 92.8 per
cent and salmon, 93.2 per cent. The
percentages of fat digested were
found to be: Boston mackerel, 95.2 per
cent; butterfish, 1914 per cent; gray
fish, 94.3 per cent; salmon, 93.7 per
cent.
In addition to the fish loaf tn let
included potatoes, crackers, fruit.
sugar and tea or coffee. On the aver
age the subjects each day ate 44O
grams Of Boston mackerel. All grams
of butterfish, 40 grams Of grayflsh, or
355 grams Of salmon, indicating that
I'm pvnry case the fish WAS eaten with
relish.

Last Son of Revolution.

Nelson Moore, eighty-one years old.
believed to be the last real son Of the
American Revolution, died recently at
his home In Omaha. Moore was born
near Vernon, Oneida county. New
York. His father, at the age Of f1f-
teen was fighting with the Continental
army and was with Washington at
Valley Forge. Moore came west and
was government freighter on the
plains in 1869. In the years following
he had many experiences with Indians.
He perfectly remembered his father
and remembered many of the Incl
dents of the Revolutionary days told
by the older Moore.

Nux h4f~teQ
Onions Good Disinfectant
in Any Case of Infection

Much has been said about the viz
tues of the onion, but few know of Its
use as disinfectant, says the Lon
don Chronicle.
An onion cut in half and set in a
room will attract to itself all manner
of germs, leaving the air sweet and
pure; it is therefore most valuable
in cases of infection. You should
take care, however. to burn the onion
afterward.
No part of an onion should ever be
used for domestic purposes after haV'
ing been allowed to lie about over
night. The eating Of raw onions Is q
great personal protective In time OF
epidemic, and If taken with cucum-
bers the breath is left innocent OF
any Objectionable odor.

Good Maritime Dishes.

A most tasty combination which was
discovered quite by accident is the fol
lowing: In preparing potato salad
for small family the addition of
two guests made the stretching of the
salad imperative. so cupful of nice
ly seasoned cottage cheese, which had
been left over. was added to the pota-
to salad, making such tasty one that
hereafter we will use cottage cheese
with our potato salad. A pimento had
been used to season the cheese, which
added to the appetiZing flavor.
