Typhoid Rare but Highly Contagious

demic manner, it is desirable for
public health officials to search out
the source of infection and to pre-
vent its spread.
Among the measures that are
necessary to prevent any spread OF
paratyphoid fever are protection
and publication of public water
supplies, pasteurization of milk
supervision of food supplies and OF
food handlers, control Of transmits
SION of the disease by flies, proper
disposal of human excretions.
Other measures include a syste-
matte examination of specimens
from those who have been in reg
ular contact with cases of the dis
ease, and proper treatment of the
water supply with hypochlorite OF
other disinfectant.
Indeed, it is safer for most peo-
pie in times of epidemic of para
typhoid to boil all the water that
is used.

Us?
NEW YORK, Dec. %. - This
L bitter talk in congress is doing
no one any good, least Of all those
who are making it. The effect at
home is depressing, while the effect
abroad is irritating.
The problems this country faces
merit something bigger than cam
paign blab.
The question Of whether Repub-
licanS or Democrats control the
government after 1882 is OF less i'm
portance than is the necessity of
stabilizing economic conditions
throughout the civilized world.
We are not dealing with matters
which can be determined at a ward
primary, or even a national election.

Just Every Day Sense
BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

THE strength of the marriage tie seldom has been
l. expressed more beautifully than in little book
of verse called "Forsaking All Others, by Alice Duer
Miller.
Marriage founded on devotion" she says, els a
force that holds you in its grip and nothing will free
you wholly-not divorce DEATH for these destroy
not it, but you"
And the plight of a fathess husband as he con-
templates the wreck of his love in the face Of his
dead wife, against whom he has Sinned is not after
ALL the plight of ordinary waStrel who has played
lightly with sacred things.
1t is the dilemma of a serious being who realizes
that he has been guilty of sin more heinous than
adultery. He has broken, not only his wifes heart,
but the finest thing within hmSef-his ability to be
true to his ideals.
In these days of many divorces, the steadfastness
of true marriage is still the one security amid all
discomfort
TOR one truth is self-evident The faithless person
= betrays himself, first of all. Once ourselves
are disloyal to a trust, the fine glamor has gone
forever from life We can not catch again the
elusive substance of our dreams
And we destroy the sole splendid trait that lifts
the divine. In modern life, our worst sin against
marriage may not always be the ruthless breaking
of its VOWS but the fact that we enter into 1t with
such careless disregard for its real meaning.
1t is vain for the scoffer to at its sacred
ness and therefore preen himself on his superior
judgment. For his own cynicSm bellies his words.
The person who denies the possibility of successful
marriage usually is the one who has proved himself
incapable of keeping vow.
Life is hard enough as it is. If We fippantly cease
to strive after the best in human loyalty and love,
we betray finest instincts 1t is not that must
marriage. We have come to the place where
We must let marriage save US.

Patriotic Batting

TUNES are hard, millions of peo-
a pie are out of work, prices and
wages are down, bankers are per-
picked and business men are dis
couraged.
The situation lends itself readily
to spell-binding, especially in the
form of TRADES against a proposal
by which this government fails to
collect some $250,OOO,000 which it
expected to get this year.
1t sounds very patriotic to blat
that the American taxpayer is be-
ing mulcted by a lot of cheats across
the water, that they could pay if
they would, that the whole set-up
just is another scheme of interna-
tional bankers to make money.
One moment, we are told that
those bankers sold all the foreign
securities to a gullible public, and
the next that they are trying to
collect in order to save themselves
from loss. If they have sold out,
why should they be worrying; if
not, where does the public come in?

The City Taxes?

why city taXeSY
Up in Senator Borahs state is a happy, Scrappy
title city whose people asking that question The
city is Idaho Falls, owner of Self-flling treasury
Twelve years ago we damned ripple in the
river explains Mayor Barzila Clark They built a
dam the Snake river and set up their electric
light and power works.
The Utah Light and Power Company, forced to
back out left it's hgh-tension lines at the gates Of
the city, and, like cat waiting at rat hole, waited
for the city's project to fail. 1t still is waiting.
Last years city budget was $4,000 Of this, only
$4,000 had to come from taxes. The rest came from
municipal power and light revenues. Besides, the lit
tie plant furnished city lights free of charge.
Every city hasn't ripple at its door to harness
But many cities could with similar courage, reduce
taxes by public ownership Of some profitable utility
Uncle Sam, staggering under his deficit, has a
ripple already harnessed down on the Tennessee
river. It's called Muscle Shoals. Unless third
presidential veto prevents this congress is expected
to save Muscle Shoals for the people.

LOSSES AT SEA
December %

ON Dec. %, 1917. the great snow
~ storm started on the Italian
front blocking the enemy's line of
communication not only with Tyrol,
but also with the bases beyond the
ISonzo.
The storm started on Dec. % and
continued until Dec. 81.
On the western front the Ger
mans drove, in the British advanced
posts on a 7o0-yard line northeast
of Ypres.
The British admiralty reported
that in the week ending Dec. % a
total of thirteen British ships had
been sunk by submarines. Eleven of
these were over 1000 tons, one was
rated as being under 1000 tons. and
the thirteenth was a fishing vessel.

British ships.

Why Antagonize2

THE last last two weeks have
a done more to drive France and
England together in an anti
American alliance than have the
last ten years.
Though congress undoubtedly
will ratify the moratorium, some
of its members have displayed a
meanneSs of spirit, a suspicion and
a hatred which will require a long
time to wipe out.
Assuming that mistakes have
been made, are we going to remedy
them by generating antagonism?
Do we hope to make the collec-
ton of debts easier by humiliating

holding up it's end in those days,
of not playing the game fair?
When the word came that France
was fighting with her back to the
wall, that England was exhausted
and that there was no hope of
breaking the Hindenburg line, save
with our help, did we treat it as
false?

Congress Shame

CONGRESS has been in session
- two weeks, but has done little,
except to take futile ballots over a
president pro tenn. of the senate
and swap partisan bandying in the
house.
Considering what the masses of
the people are worrying about, not
only here, but in most other coun-
tries, the congressional record
sounds cheap and childish.
Would Senator johnson of Cali
tornia repudiate the moratorium if
he had to be responsible for what
happened?

TYPHOID fever practically has

Paratyphoid fever is caused by a

The germ is carried in the dis

Refuses to Hide His Light


I'm other words, Jim is not inter
4 ested in those portions of water,
phosphorus and iron which have
miraculously been blended to-
gether to make this one particular
senator. 1t is the thread of the
universe upon which he strings his
degrees, achievements and orna-
ments.
The tree is lighted not for his
pleasure, but so that the rest Of us
may clap our hands in glee and
shout: Daddy, can I be like Sen
ator Davis of Pennsylvania when ]
grow up?"
And a wise parents probably will
reply: "That is hardly possible, my
boy, but it might be a good idea for
you to try"
Many in Washington have bled
for the common people. Puddler
Jim has done much more. Upon the
sacrificial altar of service he has
placed with humble hands his reti-
cence and innate modesty.
To my mind not Davis, but La
Guardia, assumes the authentic
staggering attitude in this instance.
There stands upon the printed page
"Fiorello H. La Guardia." Just that
and nothing more. 1t is as il he
said: "Why should take the trou-
Bile to record attributes and achieve
ments which are familiar to every
honest voter?" Just so might the

name is Shakespeare" and then

The greatest need of the world
today is the application of the
golden rule, as taught by Christ, to
all its political and economic rela-
lions. Men may say that this is i'm
practical and impossible; but so long
as we fail to do so we are going to
have wars and business depressions
with all their sufferings.
This letter is not propaganda. nor
advertisement, but an appeal to
Christian men, church Iaymen,
thinking men and unemployed men
IN all these groups to get together,
study and devise methods by means
of which the principles of Christ
can be extended to our everyday
life and put forth as solution to
this great business depression.

DUDDLER JIM DAVIS, senator
l. from Pennsylvania, has by far
the longest biography in the new
Congressional Directory. The dis
tinguished Republican statesman
wrote it himself.
Congressman La Guardia requires
only three words. Indeed, he merely
states his name and lets it go at
that. Some observers are likely to
deduce from these facts that Sem
ator Davis is vain and La Guardia
just violet.
That is not necessarily true. If
Jim Davis finds himself under at
tack I advise him to quote from the
writings of a fellow Pennsylvania
who was also known to politics in
his day.

Troubles of a Statesman

Troubles of a Statesman
DUT I am troubled already at
D what will be expected of me
some day when I get to congress.
Being neither a Jim Davis nor a
Shakespeare, 1 can not employ the
elf-abnegating length of the states

dunn of impulsive revelation and
timid reticence.
Indeed, I propose to make my life
as it will appear in the Congress
