Your Health
by DIR. MORRIS FIsHBEIN

TUsT how important it is to maintain supply of
j pure water and prevent contamination OF your
food be illustrated by the remarkable progress
toward elimination Of typhoid fever
This disease has been traced not only to con-
taminated water and iood supplies, but to improper
sewage disposal and to adequate control OF the w.
phoid fever carrier Now, with strict supervision Oh
these agencies, typhoid fever has been reduced to
a very low figure.
Annually, for some time, the Journal Of the
American Medical Association has been keeping
track OF deaths from typhoid in large cities OF the
United States The 1884 report just made available,
considers the typhoid fever mortalities in the same
SO cities that have been covered since 1880.
IF Chicago in 1885, had the same amount Of ty-
i phoid fever that it had in 1890, in proportion
to population there would be some $4,000 cases OF
this disease and perhaps from 5000 to 5000 Deaths
Instead according TO the journals figures Chicago
has had less than one death Tor eacn 1OOUOO OF us
population since 1925.
To get an idea of how fast the fight against ty-
phoid has progressed, Chicago had about 16 deaths
for each 100000 Of its population between 1906 and
$780, deaths to each 100000 from 1911 TO 1915; pa
from 1915 to 1920; Z from 1920 to 1925; and only
one death for every 100000 population since then.
Out Of IA cities in New England during 1884,
there were nine without a single death from TYPHOID
fever and not one had many as two deaths for
each 100000 persons. Out Of l8 cities in the middle
Atlantic states, there were seven without single
death from typhoid fever and athe others had rates
below per 100000.
TN the south Atlantic states only Tampa Fla, was
i without a single death, and Richmond, Atlanta
and Norfolk had rates from 38 to 54 per 100000.
In the north central states only Fl. Wayne. Ind,
had high rate reaching ST. per 100000, but in the
south central area Birmingham, Chattanooga and
Memphis had exceedingly high rates for modern
cities, reaching in the Of Memphis, figure Of
"a New Orleans had go but not one OF the II
cities in the West had figure above 26.
Summarizing the rates for 1884, there are %
cities without single death from typhoid fever:
fifty cities with rates below two for each 100000 OF
population; II with rates from two TO FIVE; and only
nine cities with rates above five.
Three cities finished their fourth consecutive
year without a single death from typhoid fever, and
Atlanta. which still has a high rate, has con-
sistently lowered the number Of deaths from ty-
phoid fever by 80 to IS per cent for the last three
years.

guests are conveyed in motor cars
on roads especially built right up
to the jungle. The hunters sit in
little huts built up in the trees.
The beaters, who drive the game
toward them, have portable field
telephones to tell the guests when
the tigers are coming.
Now it is one of the oddities Of
this man that with all this lavish
ness of display, in his own per-
Sonal life his tastes are very SIM
pie. He rises between five and
seven in the morning and break
fasts on coffee, toast and fruit.
Before old age overlook him, he
INDUCED in horseback riding or
played tennis. At night he en-
joyed a game of billiards or cards.
But he was just as content to slip
away by himself, when state pa
perS did not demand his atten-
ton, and sit quietly in his library
reading the best things in English
literature.
n
MYTH the years he broadened
w out as an enlightened ruler,
who made his state one Of the
best administered in India. Pri-
mary education is free and COM
pulsory. Infant marriage has
been abolished. The untouchableS
probably fare better in Baroda
than almost any where. Perhaps
part of this enlightened policy is
the result of his world wander
ings. He is the most travelled of
all the Indiana Princes, knows
Europe as we'll as India, and has
visited in the United States and
Japan. one of his sons went to
Harvard.
But it has not been roses
all the way for the Maharajah. A
great personal grief was the loss
by deaths of three of his four
sons.
The year 1911 was the Maha-
rajah's high water year for real
trouble. In a London court an
Englishman sued his wife for di-
vorce and named the ruler of Ba-
roda, also asking for damages from
him. The Maharajah'S lawyers
put in a claim that his name must
be stricken out of the case, on
the ground that as an indepedend-
ent ruler of an independent state,
he did not come under the courts
jurisdiction. The judge upheld
this view.
IN 1911 King George and Queen
Il Mary went out to India to hold
a royal Rurbar at which all the
ruling native princes were to make

l. That Herbert Hoover def
nitely covets the 1886 nominal
ton.
,. That the former President is
not popular with the rank and
file.
3. That the field is wide open,
none of the other known aSpirantS
as yet displaying strong backing.
The conviction among the in
side leaders that Mr. Hoover has
his eye on next years banner is
based on the large representation
of Hoover men" at the gather
ing.
Among the most prominent Of
these we're former War Secretary
Pat Hurley, former Agriculture
Secretary Arthur Hyde, former
White House Secretary Walter
Newton, and "Tanglefoot Bob Lu-
cas-. former executive secretary of
the Republican National Com
mittee.
The GOODNESS of the delegates
toward Mr.. Hoover was evidenced
both publicly and privately. The
resolutions adopted contained no
mention of him or his admins
tration either directly or indi-
rectly. Scouts report that IN the
Hobbies and anterooms The sentl-
ment was universal that the party
could not make another run with
Hoover at its helm.
OF the other hopefuls. the
~ private reports says there
was much talk" but no mani
festation Of strength.
The name of Frank Knox was
tie most frequently heard. Sem
ators CHeu-Roaring Dick Dick
inson and Arthur Vandenberg
came in for some mention. but the
scouts attribute this chiefly to the
fact that they are Midwestern-
ers and well known TO the dele
gates.
The real surprise in the gossip
about candidates was the fire.
ouent and favorable mention Of
Rep. Ham Fish, burly New York
socialite.
It has been known for some
time that Rep. Fish was quietly
pushing his candidacy, but the
leaders were inclined to view this
as a joke. They are not taking
him seriously even now. but they
we're impressed by the extent OF
his PROSECUTING.
Delegates from as widely scat
tered points as Oklahoma, In
diana and Wisconsin spoke Of hav-
ing been contacted by Mr.. Fish.

was not acting entirely on her own
when she made her startling
naval deal with Germany,
but that she has become the
spear-head for a course of allied
action which may change Europe'S
entire outlook.
Britain's immediate policy is:
First, to apply some sort of con-
troll to Germany'S rearmament.
Second, to avert new European
war at any decent cost. Third, to
keep Britain out of it if one
comes.
This program will be pushed at
Paris and Rome for all Capt.

MOST important behindthe-
A'A scenes factors in the Ewing
Mitchell clampr about Commerce
Department graft are:
l. That Mitchell himself scarce
ly knew what it was all about.
There is plenty of ineficiency in
the Commerce Department, but
he was not the man to clean it up.
2. There was a bitter row be-
tween Mitchell and the Fender
CAST political machine in Kansas
City. Pendergast and the Mis-
souri, Senators were out to get
Mitchell.
Based solely upon Mitchells
usefulness to the Commerce De-
partment, he could have been
fired long ago. But Secretary Dan
Roper-a dodger, not a doer-
postponed the unpleasantness.
Probable result of the Juror will
be tightening up Of the Steam
boat Inspection Service-which
passed the Moro Castle-and also
of the Bureau of Air Commerce.
In both there is a long record Of
kowtowing to big business.
NTITCHELL'S talk of Shipping
A'A Board favors is an old story.
There is one part, however, which
remains partly untold. This in
wolves the relationship between
the President and Vincent Astor.
The friendship between Franklin
Roosevelt, his cousin Kermit, and
Mr.. Astor-the latter two chief
owners of the International Mer-
camille Marine-the trips on the
Astor yacht Nourmahal and the
laying up Of the Leviathan by the
I. NJ. M.-with Mr.. Roosevelt's per-
niSSlOn-undoubted Will inquire
in the next campaign.
All this is realized by the PreSi-
dent. His advisers have ham,
nsred it home time after time.
But he remains adamant.
His comeback is that Vincent
Aston is one of his best friends,
that Mr.. Aston would cut of his
hand before asking a favor and
that he, Mr.. Roosevelt. will not let
an old friendship be married by
the catering to public appearances.
AS for the Leviathan, the Presi-
dent has told his friends that if it
had belonged TO any company other
than I. NJ. NJ. it would have been
laid up a year earlier; that its OPP
Grafton was uneconomic and the
government profited by getting the
l. NJ. NJ. to build new ship.
SO despite campaign ammuni-
ton charges, Mr.. Roosevelt in

yacht whenever and where ever he

their obeisance to the king-em-
peror. The Nizam of Hyderabad
was the first to do so. He was
gorgeously clad, made the proper
bows and backed out in the right
way.
The Mahahrajah was second.
To the scandal of the Britons, he
was dressed in simple white cos
tune, such as one of his palan-
quin bearers might have worn.
Moreover, he carried cane in his
hand, which is simply not done.
Furthermore, he did not back
away after bowling, but turned his
back on the king-emperor and his

There was a tremendous row.
