I'm his presidential address TO
the British Association, meet
III ing in Canada last month, Sic
David Bruce made a very useful
statement of the typhoid fever
problem. The whole emphasis Of
his address was upon the proven
ton rather than the cure of dis
eases. AS to typhoid fever, he said
that 1.-THE fundamental and sound
way of attacking" this disease is by
ordinary hygienic measures, es.
pecially a good water supply and
good drainage.
When typhoid fever is rife in q
community it means that there
is defect in one or the other OF
these essentials, and the municipal
authorities should be held to &C.
count. There is nothing novel
about this statement, but it gains
in force by having been so promi-
nently presented.
There is nothing that needs
more repetition than advice to
look out for your health. An i'm
mense amount of sickness Is
caused by carelessness, either OF
the victims themselves or OF
others who may be responsible for
the cause Of the sickness. Every
member of a community can help,
by watchfulness. in the mainte-
nance Of proper hygienic condI-
tions.
But particularly interesting in
Sir David Bruce's address, and
somewhat uncommon also, is what
he says about the use Of inocula-
ton in typhoid. Remarking that
it is not always possible to ensure
good hyglenic surroundings as,
for example, among troops on &C.
tive service, he goes on to say
that eft is therefore legitimate,
under certain conditions, and es-
pecially in time of war, to practice
a less sound, less fundamental,
method of prevention, and this
second method is known as inocu-
lation or vaccination"
But he does not mean by this
to suggest any doubt as to the
propriety of using such a method,
or of its efficiency when used, but
merely to make plain the fact
that it's use can only be rendered
necessary by the absence Of
hygienic precautions which are
rarely unattainable except under
such conditions as surround an
army in the field. How efficient
the incubation method Is he
shows by such facts as this:
I'm the South African war, be.
fore the method had been de-
veloped, in an army the average
strength of which was only 20S,-
900, there were $4,000 cases Of
typhoid fever and 5000 deaths;
in the great war, on the western
front, with an average British
strength Of one and a quarter

JUNEAU TO Get
DIRECT SEATTLE
CABLE SERVICE
Col. Gibbs Tells Chamber of
Commerce of Plans for
Through Cable Line.

Within a few days Juneau will be
in direct cable communication with
Seattle over one of the fastest ca
bles In the world, according to Il
statement made by Col. George S.
Gibbs at luncheon given today by
the Juneau Chamber of Commerce
to the officers aboard the cableship
Dellwood which was in port most
e. the day This would follow, he
added, the installation of automatic
relays and duplexes at Ketchikan.
Gov. Scott c. Bone, welcoming
the honor guests, expressed for the
whole of Alaska appreciation for the
splendid achievement of the Signal
Corps, represented by Col. Gibbs
and his associates in laying the
Ketchikan-Seattle and Seward-Ketch
kan cables this year. This shows
that Uncle Sam, when he has the
right tools to work with, can do a
good job" declared the Governor
He called attention to the need for
a new cable between Juneau and
Ketchikan and said he had been in
formed by Col Gibbs that there was
practically sufficient amount OF
material on hand to lay it. Tenn.
porarily, he said, the work is being
held in abeyance but it was hoped
that the necessary funds and author.
ity would soon be available to do
the work. 'It means everything to
Alaska to have good cable service.

"On your return to the east You
may give assurance that Alaska is
going ahead, not rapidly but stead
fly This is especially true of the
coast section, which is making raid
industrial strides, he told Col
Gibbs. A few communities, facing
changed conditions, he said, have
declined He said this was the
experience of the lower Yukon River
districts following completion of the
Alaska Railroad but that eventually
these and all other Alaska communi-
ties will be benefited by the con
stru ; on of the railroad.
"Col. Gibbs attributes the marked
success attending the work to luck.
and activities of life in some part
There was small part played by
it in this project but It was the
preparation and efficiency which
counted. The success in laying the
new cable was due possibly one
tenth to luck and nine-tenths to
the efficiency of Col Gibbs and his
colleagues" the Governor concluded.
Col. Gibbs Responds
introduced by President r. e
Robertson, Col Gibbs expressed his
appre ciation to the Chamber for the
couitesies extended. Whatever may
be ones profession, there is a great
deal of satisfaction in being able
to render service and we have just
completed a year spent in doing
something for the people Of Alaska
We have the satisfaction of seeing
the project succeed and in laying
two long cables. Two trips were
made to London in a single season
and between 1,600 and LOO miles
of cable laid. 1t is ranked among
