Phoenix, Ariz, April 19.-John
Huston, IA years old, and bed-ridden,
has been pronounced by high medical

TAKE PRECAUTIONS
AGAINST TYPHOID

Jacksonville, April 20.-In a letter
to the citizens of Florida, DR.. Ralph
n. Greene, state health officer, brings
most forcibly to their attention the
number of deaths resulting last year
from typhoid. which were much less
than any previous year, and asks the
cooperation of the public in still fur
ther reducing the mortality from this
disease. The letter from DR.. Greene
is as follows:
"To the Citizens of Florida:
"The number of deaths in the state
last year from typhoid was much
smaller than in any of the three pre-
vious years, and only slightly more
than one-half the number in 1918.
The state board of health asks your
cooperation that we may still further
reduce the number of lives so need
lessly thrown away for typhoid is an
absolutely preventable disease.
"The only cause of typhoid is the
typhoid bacillus, and this organism
only leaves the body in the discharges
chiefly feces and urine, but in smaller
number in the sptum and perspira-
ton. The only way to contract ty.
phoid is by taking into the mouth
some of the discharges of a typhoid
patient or a typhoid carrier.
"The great majority of these car
riers are persons who have recovered
from the disease but few have beer
found who have no history of disease
Each of you can assist in saving
lives by insisting that all excreta b,
so disposed of that it is safe, ant
this means that when sewers are no
available, all privies must be sani
tary and fly proof.
"1n this state, the fly plays a grea
part in spreading typhoid, for the.
breed in filth and are equally fond o
the privy, kitchen, and dining room
Where privies are not fly proof, tn
fly that walks on the bread an
sugar or that takes a bath in tn
milk pitcher, may have just com
from feast there and as they carr,
material on their feet, bodies an
wings, you can readily see what
menace they are.
"The state board of health vii
gladly furnish the preventive treat
ment to any one who desires it. Tn
efficiency of this treatment has bee
so thoroughly demonstrated. and tn
results so thoroughly and UNIVERSAL
know nthat additional discussion j
not necessary.
Urging your hearty cooperate
that we may make typhoid as a caus
of death in Florida a rare occurrenc,
am, Sincerely yours,
! Ralph n. Greene,
Estate Health Officer"

1923 would be required to carry out
their mandate by giving the House
72 members instead of the present
membership of n. and the Senate 3s
instead of 80. All of the four larger
counties would have three members
each in the House, the next ten coun-
ties two each and the remainder one

apportionment bill which is on an or
der of second reading and is expected

THREE CROOKS SOLICITING
MAGAZINE SUBSCRIPTIONS

Gainesville, April 20.-Dr. A. A.
Murphree, president of the University
of Florida, is sending broadcast
throughout the state a warning 10
the public against "three crooks" who
have been soliciting subscriptions to
a magazine while representing them
selves as university students on vaca
ton.
Information has just reached US
that there are three young men
claiming to be university students
travelling over the state soliciting
subscriptions to a magazine" said
DR.. Murphree's warning. "They claim
to be on their eastern vacation and
that they are engaged in competition
in an alleged scholarship contest.
They receive 81 for a subscription and
disappear. We understand that one
of these men gives his name as Fred
Tuscany.
"This is to warn the public against
these three crooks and to state that
these men are not University of Flor
ida students and that the university
has no Easter vaaction. University
authorities will be grateful for the
arrest and apprehension of these men
who are travelling under false pre-
tence in using the name of this insti-
ttuion."
