BATTLE WILL Be WAGED
AGAINST TYPHUS FEVER

WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.-(U. Po-
Surgeon General Cumming, of the
United States public health service, ex-
tended a federal sanitation battle
against the deadly typhur fever and
sleeping sickness. Typhus, now rag
ing in Poland and Central Europe, has
appeared sporadically here. Deaths
from sleeping sickness are being re-
ported with increasing frequency. He
reports the disease has been found
outside of New York City and reach
ing here. should the disease spread in
any interior locality, a battle to pre-
vent its reaching an epidemic stage
would be greatly complicated. Typhus
is contracted only through the bite Of
a louise, public health physicians ex-
planned and spreads only where filthy
and insanitary living conditions pre-
~ail.

Doctor Haley does not profess that

Likewise he insists his experiment

MY own contribution Is simply to
