WATCH TYPHOID
AT THIS TIME
Warming Sent Out To Safeguard
Heaith--Risk At This Season

A general statewide typhoid fever
warning has been issued by the vir-
glnla State Board of Health.
Nlfginians are cautioned against
drinking water from uncertain
sources and against swimming in
streams that are likely to be pollut-
ed Especially were yacatonists
warned of the danger of contracting
typhoid in rural sections or at places
where sanitary conditions are not of
the best
General vaccination with anti
typhoid serum was advised as a pro-
teetive measure, though the caution
was issued that vigilance must not re-
lax with vaccination, since the lat
ter is not an absolute guarantee
against the contagion.
No General Epidemic
There is no general epidemic of
typhoid in the state at the present
time. Cases, however, are on the in
crease in most sections. due to sea-
sonal conditions The warning is is
sued as a precautionary measure, the
health officials declared.
Commissioner Williams said:
Already several parties have re-
turned to Richmond from vacation
and, in few days, developed ty-
phoid fever.
In large cites and towns, the wa
ter supplies are so protected through
sewer systems. etc, that there is vir-
tually no danger from these sources,
but in small towns and private homes
of rural sections, the water supply
is not always protected and human
filth laden With contagon, is often
left on the surface, exposed to flies
Certain Amount of Risk
There a certain amount of risk
in visiting places where the drinking
water is not protected and where flies
have access to human filth. There is Il
also danger in swimming in streams
into which sewers empty, unless there
is large amount of dilution."
Commenting on the drought that
prevails in many sections of the
state, Commissioner Williams con-
tinued:
Another danger is to be appre-
hended. 1t is when the flushing rains,
that we look for in the near future,
wash the accumulation of human
filth into unprotected springs, wells
and sources of drinking water.
I'm view of the difficulty of always
avoiding dangers. the State Board of
Health recommends the taking of ty-
phoid vaccine. Typhoid vaccine in
ereases a persons resistance to ty-
phod but does not give absolute pro-
teton. Even if vaecinated against
typhoid no person should take unnec-
essary risks"

WANTS STIFF
THEFT PENALTY
MinOt Commissioner Would
Have Legislature Change

Minot, N. D., Jan. 2.--That some
action should be taken by the state
legislature at its coming session to
make more severe the laws providing
punishment for the theft of autOmO-
biles was the opinion expressed yes
terday by Police Commissioner F.
Otto Gross before the city commits
sion, meeting in weekly session.
i. "Under the present laws. with a
very lenieifk minimum punishment
provided, the courts in many in
stances are inclined to inflict mo-
derate sentence on an automobile
thief, which fails to have an effect
on other car thieves" Mr.. Gross
said. II believe that the law should
be made more severe"
Commissioner Aksel Bratsberg dis
cussed the advisablity of law which
would require each automobile owner
to carry card bearing the same
number as the license number on his
automobile. Anyone found with an
automobile and not having card in
his possession could then be arrested

OPTIMISTIC VIEW

Washington, Jan. 2.-Officials
here apparently see hopeful tenden-
cies in the New Year dispatches
from Great Britain regarding war
debts, although they have received
thus far no communication, declar-
ing the willingness of the British
government to approve specially in
dulgcnt terms for France.
When shown story published in
London, to the effect that Great
Britain has assured the United
States she would not stand in the
way of the Franco-American settle
ment on terms more lenient than
the Anglo-American agreement high
officials of the state department au-
th0rized the statement that no such
assurance had reached Washington
either officially or unofficially.
At the same time the failure Of
the British foreign office to deny
that such suggestion might be
forthcoming was noted with great
interest. During their recent intri-
cate stages the debt discussions have
been kept entirely confidential, but
officials evidently have hoped for
some development to clear the air
early in the New Year.
