Graphic Story of How Typhoid Was Eradicated From the Warren District
 During Fifteen Year Medical Battle

How medical science has won a mastery over. typhoid fever is graph ically shown in a compact but illum- mating table tracing the practical elimination of the malady from the Warren district in fifteen years and compiled by Dr. c. H. Hunt of the Copper Queen hospital. This table shows that in 1904 there were handled at the hospital from Bisbee 94 cases, resulting in five deaths, and from Lowell three cases with one death.
 In that year the Warren district had not been equipped with a water or sewerage system and no method had been adopted for the disposal of garbage. Late in that year, however, a garbage system was started and in 1905 the Bisbee-Naco water system was developed. Warren was not then included in the water company, which covered only Bisbee and Lowell. The disease, that year decreased to 81 cases, with two deaths. from Bisbee, and five cases with no deaths from Lowell. rr
 The year 1908 saw sewer connec- tions established in Bisbee with the result that the hospital handled IS cases, no deaths, from BisbeI. and three cases, no deaths, rom lowell The past two years, 1918 and 1917, show clean record, so far as the hospital is concerned. no cases having been received and no deaths having occurred.
 Partial figures for Warren and Bakerville show one case in 1906, two cases and one death in 1907 and one case in 1908. Dr. Hunts figures cover only the Copper Queen hospital and do not include what few cases may have been treated privately at home, but they show that under proper living conditions and sanitary conditions, typhoid has no chance. The table compiled by Dr. Hunt fol- lOWs.

Here is a big clothes-buying op- portunity right now, at our rousing reduction sale of mems and young mems high grade suits. The re ductions mean a big saving and when you stop to consider that prices are steadily going upward and sure to be much higher next fall, these generous reductions mean infinitely more.

small-town homes, drained Of mar

these arrests were made by detec-

women were bailed out at the sta
ton house by professional bonds
men at exorbitant rates. 1t was,
in fact, the scandal connected with
these bail bonds which led to the
passage of the Agnew bill, cstab-
fishing in 1907 night court, where
offenders might have hearing be-
fore a magistrate shortly after be-
ing taken into custody.
At first men and women were
tried together. Then, in 1910, after
the inquiry Of the Page Commits
sion, the court was separated into
the Mems Night Court and the
Women's Night Court, the former
going into new quarters, the latter
remaining in session from p. m.
until adjournment at the old JEFF
ferson Market Court House, Sixth
Avenue and Ninth Street.
Meanwhile many changes were be-
ing effected. Women arrested Tor
minor offenses were segregated from
those brought in on a more serious
charge, fines were abolished for the
"world-wide and world-old offense'
of prostitution, and the professional
bondsmen were driven out of bust
ness.
Along with these reforms a new
difficulty arose. Knowledge OF the
Night Court spread. 1t became the
goal of sightseers, place where a
theater party could wind up an
evenings entertainment with a
tragedy from real life. More than
that. the courtroom was crowded not
only with uptown sensation seekers
in evening clothes, but with prosti-
tutes getting line" on the plain
clothes police and with "pimps"

Brussels facing the British Young

day and night, not one or two wom-

for the boys on leave coming to the
"Y" to apply for rooms. Disguised at
the sight, DR.. Davis appealed to the
secretary in the "Y" whose Office
windows overlooked the square. He,
too, was Disguised, but he could do
nothing. He passed her on to the
big British NJ. P. twirling his stick
before the door. The NJ. P. watched
it daily, he was shocked, but he
could do nothing. He passed DR..
Davis on to the Belgian gendarme.
But neither could the Belgian police
man, the highest authority, disperse
the women in that square. No law
gave him power to interfere unless
there were a brawl or public disturb
ance.
