PROPER SAINT AIRY
PRECAUTIONS WILL
WIPE OUT TYPHOID
Infected Water, Milk, Ice
Cream and Oysters Sources
of Contamination

The October issue of the Della
ware Health News contains
timely article on the subject of
typhoid fever, its nature and pre-
ventiOn.
This is the season Of the year
when typhoid fever is most pre-
valent, and a word of warning
may assist in keeping down the
death rate from this disease this
fall. AS matter of fact, typhoid
is most readily preventable dis
ease and its continued existence
in a community is due to the dis
regard of known sanitary pre-
cautions.
During the last six mnoths of
1916 there were 81 deaths from
typhoid fever in Delaware, during
the last half of 1917 there were 40
deaths, and during the last half
of 1918 there were so deaths. If
the Delaware rate had been as low
as that of many of the large cities
there would have been but 8
deaths during the entire year, so
that there was a clear waste of
one life per week for the entire
wear from this one disease, a dis
ease that can be prevented.
Typhoid fever is caused by a
small organism which is known as
the typhoid bacillus, or germ, and
which is only one ten-thousandths
of an inch long. These germs are
discharged from patient in the
stools and urine and no person can
contract this disease unless he
takes into his mouth some of these
germs which have come from the
body of another person. 1t is thus
seen that typhoid fever is a filth
disease and that the proper care
Of the wastes from the human
body would wipe out the disease.
Some persons who do not have the
disease discharge the germs and
these persons are known as car
riers." 1t is therefore necessary
to dispose Of the body wastes of
ALL persons so that the germs
cannot contaminate any water or
food supply and so that flies can
not carry the infection to milk or
| other food. This is one Of the
chief reasons why the State Board
Of Health is insisting upon the
construction of sanitary, fy-proof
out-buildings. 1t is also essential
that all persons thoroughly cleanse
their hands before handling food
so that infection will not be car
ried to the mouth by means Of con-
taminated hands.
Most epidemics of the disease
/ have been caused by infected wat
er, milk, ice cream and oysters.
Many cases have also been caused
by flies which carry the infection
upon their bodies to food supplies
Many causes are caused by care
/ ICSHICSS Oll VIC paw VI CiiOSC az
] tending persons who are sick with
! the disease.
If the entire milk supply of g
| town or city were pasturized there
would be no danger of milk-borne
| typhoid. While it is not possible
to guard against every possible
method Of food contamination
strict attention to sanitary condi.
| tions will result in an immediate
drop in the death rate. All per-
sons exposed in anyway to the dis.
ease, those who travel extensively
or who live in communities where
it is prevalent should protect them
selves by anti-typhoid inoculatior
which renders a person immune
from the disease for at least tive
years, possibly longer.

Movie Twins Hard to Find.

In preparing for the filming of 'The Right to Happiness Allen Ho- lUbar's production, now being shown at the Empire theatre, in which Dor othy Phillips is the star, the director had to accomplish one of the hardest tasks in the motion picture profes- sion-that of finding twin babies both of whom will photograph per fectly and who will sylchronize their movements to the satisfaction of the director.
 In producing ""The Right to Hap piness'' Holubar had to obtain a set of twins to show the childhood days of Dorothy Phillips who plays a dual role in the picture. HoIubar conbed all of Southern California before he finally found a pair of youngsters who could do the parts satisfactorily. They were finally obtained through the in- genuity of a member of the publicity department who had a city hall news paper reporter check over the health records for three years back to dis cover what Southern Californians had become the parents of twins.
 A list was given to HoIubar's aS- sistant director, and the latter spent three days with an auto visiting fam lilies with twins before he finally found little Esther and Rachel Mo- line, of Alhambra. Cal.

PLAZA.

Tonight affords the last two oppor- tunities for viewing Norma Tal- madge's latest seven act super drama, "The Isle of Conquest" great vaudeville show Is also appear ing at the Plaza theatre.
 Starting tomorrow the management of the Plaza is bringing another big super-special that should pack the Plaza to the doors at every perform ance.

The great question Should a Husband Forgive ?" is one of acad- enic interest to all married couples and those contemplating marriage No matter how little a person may Be affected personally by this question: the tendency to ina zine ones self as the central figure of a dramatic sttu- ation makes the question one of uni versaI interest.

THE OLD SONGS.

Said Robert Browning, If you wish your songs to endure, build on the human heart!''
 The old songs are the songs that touch us deepest. On today, Dec. g, in 1842, a man died who wrote a homely song that lives forever, "The Old Oaken Bucket" The man was Samuel Woodworth. He died in New York City.
 Samuel Woodwortn, American poet and journalist was born in Scituate, Mass. in 17S5. During the war of 1872 he conducted a newspaper in New York, entitled The War; and in 1923, with George Morris, founded The New York Mirror He wrote a romance of ths War of 1872, called Champions of Freedom" But he will live in litera- ture only by his one song, '7The Old Oalzen Bucket"
 the poem with which his name is for ever connected,
 The old oaken bucket, the iron-bound
 bucket,
 The moss-covered bucket which hung
 in the weII.'
 The song, 'The Old Oaken Bucket" may not be the poetry of the peaks,
  it Is a song that enters the crevices of the heart wearied with too much con tact with the world
 It has been said by astute critics that it was an old song that made" TriIby, the famous book and drama Ben Bolt will get a lump in your throat every time you hear it sung if you have a shred of soul in you. This song was always sung of stage as rarely does a great actress possess a great singing voice. The down. and peoples eyes grow moist as that old and touching song began. Don't you remember Sweet Alice,
 Ben Bolt?
 Sweet AHce with hair so brown?'
 The p1aintive minor music to this song is a fitting frame to it's appear ing words. The clos ng strophe is as good as the hand-grip of a friend at a lonely funeral,
 T have your presence. and blessing.
 yoUT friendship's a truth. Ben Bolt of the saIt-sea gale!"
 Another song. of no glittering poetic merit, of no line that takes the breath , away with astonishment and rapture but Of eternal beauty of regret, is Eliza Cooks simple old song, T love it, I love it, and who shall
 dare
 To ch1de me for l6vtng that old arm chair?"
 And what is the greatest 1ove-sone in the world? We think it is ''Kath- i leen Mavourneen." i It was a great Greek who said, Let , who rriH make q national law, let ME only make it's songs!'' , TyrtaeUs the crippled Greek poet : by his songs raised and reused an army when the hopes of Hellas were 1 at ebb.

 Yes, yes, go on, sed pop, and sed. And the more they wait the more they'll be serprized I don't come, and they'll wonder wy not and keep on waiting and wondering and waiting.

IYIlIC.

Remnant" is playing at the Lyric th eatre twice da-ly during the pres ent week. The dialogue is snappy and up to date although the scenes of the play are laid In the year 1840 and only the costumes and scenic eff fleets remind one of the days of long ago. Remnant i5 the nickname for the heroine of the play, portrayed by Miss Mary Ann Dentler, and is a character eminently fitted for a woman of the type of the PoH Play5 CTS charming leading woman.
 Next week the Players will present a new play, "The Girl From the Sea-" a comedy drama with many thrilling situations. The production will make it's debut in Bridgeport and the PoH Players have been se- 1ected to give it it's first production.

 Only here there is a real idea and certain ridiculous insidiOus little ele- that Miss Gish, with all her exuber- ance and care free absurdities, is at tempting to poke fun at some of our fads.

BALTIMORE PAINTING

NOT REGULATION.
 The painter did not know. Possibly he had never heard of wrapped leg gins. Fortunately, perhaps, he had never listened to a discussion in the early morning among a company Of doughboys in the damp loft of French barn concerning A. E. F. foot gear in general-and wrapped leggins in particular. The Home Sector, the ex-Soldiers' magazine conducted by the former editorial council of The Stars and Stripes, has this to say about the beautiful painting done by R. McGilI Nackau for the memorial altar in St. Luke's church, BaItim ore. ''The nonotony of life in dugouts and biIlets used to be relieved by the mag azines from home, with their eNtraor- dinary homemade pictures of life as it wasn't in the A. E. F. The soldier overseas was always particularly scornful of the portraits of himself that were forever issuing from the home studios, usually with the equip ment painted from models abandoned by the Army in 1898-
