the choice for the girls fell on Viola

Gifted with poetic imagnations,
some parents pick out of thin air for

TYPHOID COSTS
OVER "A MILLION
YEARLY

Charleston, w. Va, August. - pTy-
phoid fever is no longer the serious
problem in the cities that it used TO
be- says Chief Sanitary Engineer Il.
s. Tisdale of the state department OF
health, but in the rural sections OF
West Virginia 1t Is still difficult
proposition. The cities have been able
to take care Of themselves by protect
ing their drinking water supplies, by
safeguarding food and milk supplies,
by immunizing citizens, by wagng war
on flies and seeing that garbage and
other refuse are properly disposed Of.
''In the rural districts, the insanltary
privy and the unprotected we'll are
the chief causes Of typhoid fever which
last year ate cked $500 people in this
state and caused PSI deaths. Al a
very low estimate, this disease cost
West Virginia more than millior
dollars-and practically all of that
might have been saved if proper pre-
vention steps had been taken.
Typhoid fever is a preyentable dis
ease communicated by germs in matter
from a patients bowels and kidneys
which gets into the mouth and stomach
of another person. The germs are
carried by contaminated water, mill,
food and flies. Outside of the cities,
the big problem Is to protect the drink
ing water supply by curbing wells so
that surface drainage and seepage can
not get into them, and by locating
privies which are hy-proof and SAM
tary in such a place that they cannot
seep into the drinking water
1T Is predicted by health authorities
that in 1850 typhoid fever will be as
rare in the United States as yellow
fever Is now in the Canal Zone. In
1910 the death rate from typhoid fever
was 1889 persons o'.4 Of 100000 in
81 cities. Twelve Y ars later. that
rate had been cut until only 3..5 out
of 100000 were having typhoid fever.
1t Is not, therefore, wild guess that
in the twenty-six years to 1850 typhoid
will be eradicated entirely.
"As soon as people in the country
sections begin to build the right kind
of wells and privies and to safeguard
their water and cood supplies from
germ carrying flies" concludes Mr..
Tisdale, they will be in fair way
TO eradicate typhoid fever in West
Virginia

ening of human burdens. in the gen.
eral welfare OF all
True, Mrs. Hert is a good Repub-
iican, but her messages breathe first
of all the soul OF a humanitarian,
coupled with the conviction that Of
all the agencies at hand the Republi-
can party is the most effective one
through which what women want
social progress, the greatest good Of
the greatest number can be
achieved.
Her political creed is summed up
In the belief that the purpose of gov
eminent is to establish justice. in
sure domestic tranquility, provide for
the common. defense, promote the gem

OF liberty to ourselves and our pos
