TYPHOID FEVER PREVALENT
Executive Secretary Says Amount
Much Greater Than Should Be

There is much more typhoid few
er in the State than there should
be, according to the statement of
DR.. A. @. Jost, executive secretary
Of the State Board of Health. 1t
is an amount much greater than
should be tolerated in any COM
munity or collection of communi-
ties where reasonable sanitary
standards are set. In the first
way. water or milk is infected and
serves as the vehicle for the trans
fer of the contagion. This was
largely the cause of the repeated
outbreaks seen in former years
even in this State, those living in
the larger towns and cities being
especially the victims. The second
method of transfer is by the med
Ium Of flies. 1t has been proven
quite conclusively, the statement
reads that these are capable of
carrying the disease germs from
the filth on which they have been
feeding to deposit it on food or on
food utensils in use in the home.
There is every indication that a
number of the cases of illness now
seen in the State were so brought
about. In any general population
there are always to be found a
number of carriers" who, them

Coinage Of Cents

Indian cents were coined from
1858 to 1909 inclusive. A few rare
ones, made of nickel, aluminium or
unusual alloys are at considerable
premium, but they are never seen
liz circulation. The Lincoln cents
were first issued in 1909. Some of
those of that year bear on the re-
verse the initials of the designer,
Victor D. Bremen. These were re-
moved before the end OF the year.
Under the date on many Lincoln
cents appear the letters "S'' and
3D." indicating that they were made
at the San Francisco or Denver
mints. The 1922 cent is the rarest
of all modern ones. 1t sells at a
premium of a few cents, and Is sell
dom to be seen in circulation. Only
a few more than $4,000 Of that date
were issued.

Uncertainty of Life

other falling from on high broke his

some by pestilence, and some by

bers. The carriers, the insani-
tary privy, and the fly are trio
of factors to which mucn typhoid
fever can be traced. 1t is difficult
to control the carrier but this
control is not essential if there is
sanitary system of refuse dis
posal. To install this is quite with
in the reach of every individual,
even in most moderate circum-
stances. Our unsanitary systems
are at present the weakest, most
vulnerable links in the chain of
causative factors. AT the present
time, the pretention of these is

"Shorfha.nd"

The origin of brief writing, or
Shorthand" is clouded in mystery.
No authentic record exists estab-
fishing its practical use much be-
fore the First century E. c. From
that period until about 300 A. d.
the art fourished throughout the
Roman empire. The secretary and
librarian of Cicero, Marcus Tullius
Trio, was the pioneer of Roman
shorthand. The chief use of short
hand in Roman times was made by
the leaders in the church and by
government officials. Church dig
nitaries who made conspicuous use
of shorthand were st. Augustine,
Origen and st. Jerome. All the
Roman emperors employed short
hand secretaries. Several emperors
attempted to learn it.
