that people who have had typhoid
fever and are apparently entirely cur
ed, often have the germs left in their
bodies and go about, leaving the
germs behind wherever they go, and
nobody the wiser. He says, medical
men call them Typhoid Carriers"
because they carry it from place to
place. Many epidemics have started
in this way"
maybe that's how Eddie got his!
If l only knew" exclaimed his wife,
as a whimpering cry from the bed
room caused her to hastily put down
The pan of potatoes she was peeling
and go in to the little sick girl.
Her husband followed, and a few
minutes later they came out of the
bedroom together.

Mary, her tone and the troubled look
in her eyes betraying her anxiety. II

but he has so much to dol"
"Don't worry about it, dear. He'll
come as soon as he can. He just loves
little Mabel. He told me yesterday
she was one of the brightest little
girls he had ever SEEM"
"All right, I'll try. But tell me
isn't there some way we could have
our water improved and made safer
What did the doctor say about that y
"Why, he said there were ways OF
making water safe, but that it was
the work of a sanitary engineer, who

and safety, and in the disposal of sew,

your water or milk or on something
you eat uncooked. He said, You have
to eat it, to get it, Isn't that awful

fact"
"And is that filth causing all the
stomach trouble that's in town right
now?"
"That's what he says, and that al
these children might just as easil,
catch typhoid and die like Eddie did
I as catch the dysentery they now are

"My! 1t makes me shudder tt

1.-THE doctor says it's the duty Of the
State Board of Health to look after
the water supplies in these towns and
and help them make and keep their
water pure. OF course, at big city
like st. Louis, where they have a san.
itary engineer and a testing labora.
i, tory of their own, they don't need the
State help SO much, but we do and all
] the other towns and cities like us In
the State do. He said, too, that Mis-
souri, hasn't any sanitary engineer
nor anyone to go around to these
towns and help them with their water
supplies and to test them frequently

pared with what needs to be DONE"
"Well, why haven't we a sanitary
engineer in this State? We pay our
taxes and are just as much entitled
to aid and protection of our health
as the people are in any other State"
81 don't know exactly. Politics,
perhaps. The doctor says they never
had enough money appropriated for
the Board of Health to supply such
man. He says he fails to understand
it, unless it is that the people and the
legislators who make the appropria-
tions don't understand the Importance
of it. Why, he said that if state
sanitary engineer were in this State
and had prevented the diseases car
ried by water last summer in just this
one town of ours, by getting the water
properly purified, it would have saved
the amount of his salary several
times over, for the people Of our city.
And moreover that would be true in
most of the towns such as ours all ov-
er the State. Why, I'd be willing to
pay a good deal towards such work,

though she is so small.
81 know she does, dear. She often
used to ask me when Eddie was COM

"Poor grille, she is lonely without
him, Just as we are. TIE doctor said
that the Public Health Service of the
United States Government, which has
men all over the country, made an in
vestigation a short time ago of the
provisions made by the various States
for this sanitary engineering work,
like water publication and testing,
and rated them on scale where 1000
points represented perfect. Massa-
chusetts and Ohio stood first on the
list with 970 points each and where
do you suppose Missouri stood?
"Oh, about half way down the list"
"No sirree!-absoluteIy last! With
only ten points. And the next to the
last, Wyoming, had more than one
hundred. What do you think of that?
Isn't it a crime for State like ours
to be last on the list, and so far be-
hind all the others at that!"

S4,0O0 REALIZED
 FROM FOIL SALES Anti Tuberculosis Workers Care for Children By
 Foil Collections

Tinfoil is a power in the fight against tuberculosis. according to Dr. George Eavles. secretary of the Jefferson County Anti-Tuberculosis Association.
 Since the idea of saving the wrappers of cigars, cigarettes, chewing gum and other articles, originated four years ago, more than $4,000 has been realized from it's sale by the Anti-Tuberculosis Asso- citation, Dr. Eaves says.
 Since January l between four and five tons have been received at the head quarters from all parts of the state and has been sold. The tinfoil is taken to the metal companies, melted and the price paid is according to the tin and other ingredients
 Tinfoil, Dr. Eaves explains, is an alloy of tin, lead and a number of baser met als. Tin, which is found in varying quan- titles, is very valuable and finds ready sale on the market Lead, the metal that forms large part of tinfoil, is cheap and brings a small price.
 The money that was realized from this source was up to the fall of 1918 spent in the interest of children who showed a tendency to active tuberculosis and for whose recovery hope was held out.
 The money went to pay in part the ex- penses of an open air school at Green Springs, in which children were accepted who had been exposed to tuberculosis infection, though hardly showed syrp- toms of that disease. This sanatorium was conducted for two years under the supervision of Miss Mary Rumph, a we'll known worker among children who be- came a victim of influenza during the epidemic.
 The money realized from, the sale of tinfoil is now being banked. Dr. Eaves says, and will be used to pay in part

been reduced from s5 to 6 cents per word. There is promise of q reduction to 50 cents. In this connection W. R. Slagle, city superintendent of the Vest ern Union. says:
 The new cable which the Western Union Company will lay to Brazil in con nection with the Western Company has already had the effect of reducing the Brazilian rate from S5 to 65 cents per word, As soon as the Western Union cable is in operation. which date will be later announced, the rate will be fur ther reduced to 30 cents per word
 The reason this rate can be made is that the new route of the Western Union cable goes directly to Brazil, whereas the all-America route goes down the coast, crosses the Andes to Buenos Aires, then up the coast, making much lonset route"
 Sometime ago a personal representative of the Gulf States Steel corporation visited Latin-America, making a thor ough tour of the east and west coast. He reported the east coast especially as magnifcenty prosperous and anxious to buy all sorts of American goods with

of the country and If the two legs
come together so as to form statue
of Liberty we shall consult our
critics as to the sculptural beauty
Of the thing.
