ia Fever Girl Declared Fake.

Escanaba, Mich. The Escana-
aba's fever case was declared a
hoax by attending physicians.
They said Miss Evelyn Lyons, "the
girl with the temperature of Ia" de-
ceived the doctor by means of hot
water bottle
"By<coughing just before we put the
thermometers in her mouth, she would
cause a delay Just long enough to put
the bulb against the small bottle which
was but six inches in length and four
inches wide, and by its color resembl-
ed the night gown perfectly" the doc
stors. said.
when we placed the thermometer
under her arms she would cough and
In this way cause another delay ard
then shake the miniature bottle under
sher shoulder and place the bulb
against the bottle again. BY these
means the girl completely fooled
everybody who came to see the re-
markable temperature readings.
Her mother brought the hot water
bottle to the girl, unsuspectingly be-
cause Of .Evelyn's complaining of a
sore on her back
When confronted with the charge
Of employing Ingenious methods of
raising her temperature, Miss Lyons
declared:
You took my temperature. You
saw the readings. 1t Is not my fault
II you read wrong"
Further questioning on the part of
friends and newspapermen were Of no
avail as she would neither affirm nor
deny the charge.
According to DR.. r. T. Woodyatt
and DR.. Morris Fishbein, Of Chicago,
who came to Escanaba Sunday MORN
ing to observe the strange case, the
temperature Of Miss Lyons never was
ia or better. They declared the girl
was very sick and was suffering more
mentally than physically"

TYPHOID LEADS
STATES EpIDEMIcS

Charleston, W. Va, March 49,
Typhcid fever Is a preventable disease
and Its control Is wholly within the
power of the community, vet one county
In West Virginia had more cases Of
typhoid last year than New York City,
500 times larger Although reporting
of communicable diseases to the State
Department of Health Is very poor, it
Is known that there were at least seven
typhoid epidenlics in the state last
year and hundreds of separate cases.
Typhoid Is contracted just one way
by taking the germs Into the body
through the mouth. Each case of the
disease is nothing more than the dis
charge of one person reaching the,
mouth OF another, as typhoid germs
are found only in the discharges Of
human beings When these, germs find
their way to the food, persons swallow
them, the germs get into the small
bowel, multiply there. finally invade
the whole body, causing Illness Of more
or less severity, and perhaps death.
The reason West Virginia has SO,
much typhoid Is because its citizens
are drinking water or milk, or eating
food which is contaminated by typhoid
germs. These germs have gotten into
the water or food by various means
Of being carried from human waste.
The water Is usually contaminated
because open toilets are situated close
enough to wells 10 allow seepage into
the wells from the toilets. Heavy
rains sometimes spread the waste ITO
the well. or the well may be too close
to d stream.
MILK should be handled with clean
hands and scalded utensils because
typhoid germs multiply greatly in milk.
Flies breed and live in filth. Typhoid
germs are so small that the feet Of
one fly carry hundreds of them to the
food or milk
Build the toilet so flies, chickens and
animals cannot get to II, swat the fly,
protect the well or boil the drinking
water to destroy the germs, handle
the food in clearly manner, and
keep away from persons with the dis
ease, is the warning OF the Health
Department.

SCHOOL NEWS

ou Will recall tnaC last week we
gave the date for holding the free
school diploma examination, April
Sc also the places where held
throughout the county. If any of
these places do not have any appli-
cants, the teacher in charge should
let US know and we may change to
some other more suitable place.

seventh grade pupils are allowed to
enter this examination, nor no one
who now holds a diploma.
The teachers term report blanks

mailed your secretaries. Please get
yours of your secretary, also enum-
Grafton sheets, and have enumerat-
ion in the hands Of the secretary by
April first.
Teachers who are working for cou-
pons' of credit will get blanks at my
office, and make application at the
close Of school-not before, as they
will be held up until the close of
school.
Again permit us to say that we
think we will have enough money to
run all schools the full term. Board
of Education will pay teachers salar-
les first and then if funds will per-
NIT other claims dan be allowed.
We are speaking of the teachers
fund. Please note these things as
other orders may be turned down.

are expecting every one is in any in
terested in public education to be
there on that day and help make
the day worthy Of the occasion. We
realize they are not what they should
be, but when are we going to make
them better? When are we going to
start? What needs to be done to
make our schools better? Those who |
stand afar off on the hill tops and |
criticise destructively should tell us
how to improve them.
We in America belive in the edu-
cation Of the masses, What other
countries do? If we educate the
classes and neglect the masses, what |
effect will such system have nour
country? You can answer these
questions by looking at the histor-
les Of other countries where tried.
