Typhoid a Summer Disease.
Typhoid fever is essentially a dis
ease of summer and early fall. Flies
as well as human carriers are great
factors in its transmission. The germs.
also may be transmitted by means of
food, including milk and water.
The best protection against this dis
ease is incubation. 1t is given in three
injections by means of q hypodermic
syringe, one week apart. This affords
protection which lasts from two to
three years. The practical freedom
from typhoid fever. of the army in
the World war. may be attributed to
the fact that all soldiers were inocu-
lated against this disease, which in the
Spanish-American war killed more
men than were killed in battle.

IS WIDELY KNOWN
Topeka Being Advertised From
Coast to Coast.
Travellers Well Pleased With
City's Camping Grounds.

Topeka Is being advertised from
coast to coast in most flattering way.
The city is not placing btllboards nor
sending circular letters from coast to

way of advertising itself. Human adj
vertisements for the city are going
from coast to coast in the character OF
overland travellers who have stopped
in the city's camping grounds for tour.

that comes from those from Maine
and Florida as often as it comes from
citizens from California and Oregon
that have spent a night or two in Gage
park or in Garfield park. where con-
Iveniences for tourists have been pro-
vided.
Well Pleased With Grounds.
This is heaven compared to the
majority of camping grounds we find
for tourists" declared members of an
eastern party who stopped in the Gage
park camping ground. :
So far this season, which means for
the last month, $50 tourists who were
included in eighty-six different over
land parties, have camped in Gage
park and nearly 500 tourists compose
ing ninety-two parties, have camped in
Garfield park, it was reported today
by Robert d. McGiffert, park commits
sioner.
Gage park camping ground has be-
come so popular that 1t is being en-
larged. The fence dividing Westlake,
the new addition to the park from the
old park, has been moved several hum
dred feet to include part of Westlake
in the camping ground and to provide
| room for number of additional plat
forms for campers. McGiffert an
nounced. Westlake will be a pleasant
| camping site as 1t embraces the new
| lake of the park where fishing is all
lowed and which helps to make the at
mosphere cooler.
Advise Friends To Stop.
when you reach Topeka be sure
and stop at Garfield park camping

from Oregon now in Garfield park,

made an overland trip with a stopover
in the park in this city.

Fourth Of July without Fire
works Is Too Tame.
Children Soon Tire of Oratory
and Band Concerts.
EAST SUGGESTS NEW PROGRAM
Plan Includes Parade, Game:
and Story Telling.
Many Floats May Be Used in
Street Parade.

With the removal of fireworks
therefrom, the celebration of indie
pendence Day for the Riddles has
come to be more or less of a tasteless
affair. The average youngster does
not appreciate the screams OF the
eagle maltreated by the Fourth of
July orator. A band concert is all
right for a while, but the children,
who have always had q distinctive
part in the celebration of Independ-
ence Day. feel the lack of fireworks.
which used to be their own particular
delight.
Like to Hear Ffrecrnckers.
Fourth of July may call reverent
attention to the best traditions of the
nation, but what is that to twelve
years? Twelve-year-olds like to hear
firecrackers pop. Since the grownups
have heartlessly denied them the
pleasure of blowing out their eyes.
blowing off their fingers, blowing up
their homes and burning their dad
dies property, some substitute for the
lost delights should be adopted.
From the east there comes the sug-
gestion, which was brought out in the
talk of group of boys and girls whose
age ranged from 5 to 16 years, to
whom the problem was presented.
The main idea and many of the de-
tails were suggested by the kiddies
themselves, and therefore should ap-
peal to children of the same age ev-
erywhere. for child nature does not
change with geography.
The plan upon which these particu-
lar children and several other groups
of children are now working includes
a children's parade to be followed by
simple games, story telling and an ap-
propriate lunch.
Story Telling and Eats.
In the suburban and country dis
tricts there are any number of quiet
streets or lanes in which the parade
can be held and plenty of convenient
groves or small parks in which the
games, story telling and lunch can be
enjoyed. In the cities 1t is probable
that the city authorities could be easily
induced to set aside certain streets
police protection, and the local boards
of education induced to permit the use
of public school yards or play grounds
for the games, story telling and lunch.
The following makeup of the pa
rade and the order OF its divisions is
suggested, with the understanding that
it can always be changed to fit circum-
stances.
Three or five mothers or young wo-
men wearing red, white and blue
sashes or large rosettes.
Band Of drums, etc, played by chill
dren.
One Boy Scout and one Girl Scout
or Campfire Girl, in uniform, each
carrying a large American flag.
Escort to the flags to consist OF one
captain (boy or girl) and as many
uniformed Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts

AMERICAN LEGION NEWS

The Lewis F. futile Post No. "a of
the American Legion of Anthony has
contracted nearly five hundred acres
of wheat to be shocked by the Legion
members. From eighteen to twenty
five men go each evening from until
$3.50 o'clock and take their exercises
in the wheat fields.
The post is not only increasing its
treasury, but is helping the farmers
in the shortage Of harvest hands. The
members of the Anthony Legion ex-
pect to make between three and four
hundred dollars by shocking wheat for
the farmers in Harper county.
The funds collected for the work
will be used in connection with the new
club rooms and for other Legion ac-
tivities. The entire upper floor of the
Citizens National bank building is
being remode1ed and redecorated and
will be used as the Legion's new quar-
tiers. The rooms will probably be ready
for occupation in July.
State headquarters of the American
Legion has received a bulletin from
the American Legion national conyen-
ton executive committee stating that
two Qustionnaires will be sent in the
near future to al state adjutants.

ture including the approximate num-
Der of delegates and visitors that may
be expected from each state.
The second QUESTIONABLE will be
sent out in September, and will ask for
final information consisting of names
and addresses Of delegates and visitors
in each delegation.
Upon the return of the preliminary
QUESTIONABLE, each department will be
assigned to a certain hotel where state
headquarters will be located, and as
many as possible of the corresponding
party will be billeted in the hotel as
signed. Final accommodations and
rooms, however, will not be assigned
until after the final QUESTIONABLE has
been received by the convention ex-
