Protects the Poilu
From Typhoid Fever
Prof. Fl. Vincent Explains Re-
suits of Preparedness in
Wars Early Stage

very remarkable statement was
made to the Paris Academy Of Sciences
on October / by Professor II. Vincent,
who is director of the great army
laboratory at Val-de- Grace, one Of the
most beneficent institutions of France
lie was responsible, in the early months
OF 1916 and afterward, for the arrange
ments in the French army for the pro-
tective treatment against typhoid.
lie gives the results in short note
with graphic diagram. He contrasts
the terrible havoc wrought in previous
wars with the almost negligible death
rate from typhoid in the present war.
a heavy incidence of typhoid began in
November, 1914; it became much less
during March-April, 1915. During this
period, November, 1914April, 1915, the
protective treatment could not be eff
fectlvely. carried out at the front be-
cause of the necessities of the war.
From April, 1916, onward-except for
one very small rise in the summer Of
1915, due mostly to paratyphoid fever
the death rate has been kept almost
at nil. The line runs steadily along
the bottom Of the diagram, as one
loves to see it. From August, 1916, on
ward the French army has received
PAO"S\NiVC SACdCuCut, IIOJ OIIy against
typhoid fever, but also against those
two forms of paratyphoid fever which
at present are called paratyphoid A
and paratyphoid B. The results are
magnificent
AS Professor Vincent says: "For
more than two years the French army
at the front has enjoyed very re-
markable. state Of sanitation; typhoid
and the paratyphoid fcvers no longer
show themselves, save at very low
degree of frequency. And this, though
all the conditions at the front are
united to favor the outbreak, spread
and gravity Of these diseases. Immense
masses of men crowded at close quar-
ters, in such number as one has never
seen the like of in any war; incessant
renewal of electives; a long war, and
almost ceaseless engagements; near
contact Of troops, and constant risk Of
infection from man to man, from pa
tients or from germ carriers; for
midable and continuous contamination
Of the surface soil by the excreta Of
germ carriers; breeding of flies, etc."
Yet, in spite of it all, "these diseases
may be considered as practically con-
quered"
1t is strange to think that one of our
"anti-vivisection'' societies has been
trying to prevent the protection of our
own men. Happily, it has failed; the
latest returns show that SO per cent of
them arc protected.-Nature.

Government Clerks EMPLOYED

A provincial British paper prints the
following tribute to the activity OF
government clerks in these times, with
an added sarcasm as to their supposed
idleness in former days:
"1n stroll through town by night
one may see in certain streets many
men doing clerical work behind blind
less windows. They are the overtimers
OF the government departments, some
of which have extended to extra
houses. The spectacle may satisfy the
persons who used to complain that, de-
spite all the schemes for relieving the
unemployed, nothing seemed to be done
for young men in government Offices"

Wheat.--Tho trade is taking an ac-
tive interest in the agitation at Wash
lngton pointing to an increased price
tor wheat next season. Reports YES
terday said that member of the food
administration in arguing against an
advance had called the attention Of
farmers to the fact that while some of
the other grains are selling proportion
ately higher than wheat at present
they have no fixed minimum price such
as exists in wheat, and. moreover. there
IS possibility of some action which
might tend to lower the value Of these
grains.
Corn-A firm undertone prevailed
yesterday. Underlying conditions in
the market arc regarded as distinctly
strong, but much of the firmness was
borrowed from oats. In the West the
trade was rather inclined to take q
bearlsh view of the renewed EMBARGO
against shipments to the East. as it.
was expected to bring about some ac-
emulation at Western points. At the
same tlmc it is recognized that the mo-
lmcnt the embargo is lifted Eastern
buyers stand ready to absorb q large
amount of corn, and it is apparent that.
the distribution will be liberal for some
5lme '.1e to come: Cash prices continue to
fold most of their premiums, and the
way the recent large receipts have been
disposed of shows that the needs of the
country arc great, without taking into
account the problem developed of an
active export demand.
Inc movement at interior points last
week was most encouraging. Receints
1or h the six days amounted to II 1865 900
~ phusnels, which compared with 7,19S, 900
the previous week and 5,1S7,Oo0 for the
corresponding week year ago. It was
thought highly probable that the move We
ment this week will again be large.

Prussian, did. AS a matter Of history,
try TO bring about the execution OF
Napoleon-and few other reprisals.
Instead. the British assisted the
French to restore a staple govern
ment TO France and peace to all
Europe
Then look at the military history
Of Germany, from Schleswig TO Pie
ardy, II is one progressive record of
plumber. Levying huge fines on cities
whose only offense is TO have been
captured-this is Germany's heredi-
tary tradition. No other nation in
modern times underles such re-
proach.
Our record is as material an asset
as our wheatfields and mines. II is
up to US to keep its value unimpaired.

Dear Sis and family
viii try and answer your most
welcome letter that came to hand a
few days ago and will say that this
leaves me in good health as always
and of course you will know that we
arrived over seas safely. We are
located in a camp, nice place and are
working hard every day as usual, pre-
pairing to do our little bit when our
time comes and ! hope it wont be so
long at that, for this is one job that
the boys are all anxious to get fin
ished up and when il is over it is the
good old U. S. A., for me, for there
isn't anything over here that looks
I good to me, of course, ] guess we
haven't seen the best Of France. but
gee SIS. you oughg tc see them over
here. they are ab5u; a hundred years
brlnd the times, or they seem that
way TO me. They work oxen AMI
drive one horse high wheel carts
tandom style and cut gram with "A
cycle in the old fashioned way.
Nothing like the good old states, so
believe me sure will be back in the
good old states when this is over.
Oh, yes, don't forget to send me tina,
picture Of you and the baby sure
would love TO see IT, bet ! could
spoil it for you. Very glad you
named him for me. Ravens any
pictures of myself just at present so
cant send you any and don't think
there is any place to get one taken
From all the reports that come
back from the front, things are going
good and all in our favor, so it may
not be so long before we come home
again and ! can tell you things SO
