ONLY ONE CASE TYPHOID
IN COUNTY DURING 1885
Record Is Considerably Below
That OF Former Years

A summary of the work of the Gar
rett County Health Department for
the year 1885 shows that in that year
there was but one case of typhoid
fever within the county. The. patient
was a resident of Grantsville but
whose home was not connected with
the new water system there. He also
had had water and food at various
places at which he worked in the
country in the Grantsville area.
"This is considerably below the for
mer typhoid rate in this county," DIR.
E. C.. Peck, health officer said, "as
from 1906 to 1880, 25-year period,
averaged three deaths per year, which
of course means that there were a
considerably larger number of cases.
at is hoped that the typhoid rate
in Garrett county can be kept low, but
there is always danger of small out
breaks occurring due to lack Of pro-
lection of private water supplies in
the country and to the use of raw
milk instead of the pasteurized product
throughout the county. All the rural
schools have been provided with san
itary closets which are examples Of
proper sewage disposal where there is
no running water available. It is
hoped that many similar buildings
will be built for rural homes in the
next few years.
"The use of typhoid vaccine is also
preventive for typhoid fever, but
the health department does not rec
ommend that this be given to every
one in the population, as is done in
many warmer places. Persons who
stay at home in this county are SUBJ
ject to no great risk, but persons who
work at various places away from
home or go camping or visiting in the
country should take the typhoid vac
cine.
can example for the need for ty-
phoid vaccine was seen at Camp Lou
Use, girls camp near Hagerstown
last year, where an employee who acted
as hair dresser and waitress developed
a mild case of typhoid fever and four
teen other cases with three deaths re-
suited from exposure to her." Dr.. Peck
concluded.

 "That is the man saw" he said. T got good look at his face and I am positive he is the man."
 Palka appeared nervous as Schw- inner pointed at him accusingly and figited with his hands.
 Three other state witnesses, who preceded Schwimer on the stand, had testified they saw man wear ing a dark coat a light hat at the the scene of the robbery and later walking away with @ radio under his arm, but they were unable to identify him as the accused youth, fighting against death in the elec- tric chair.
 schwimer's description of the killer, tailed with that of the oth- CT witnesses and his emphatic dec- laration that Palka was the gum man was the states first testimony to link him with the actual slay- ings.
 Chief defense counsel former state senator David Goldstein, on ross-examination endeavored to show that Schwimer's Identification "could not be positive" because of the darkened condition of the thor oughfare, but the reporter refused to be shaken.

Selective Buying Was Feature of Trading Market Today
WITNESSES NOT SURE ON PALKA

Bridgeport, Conn, Jan. 17.-UP) Failure of three important state witnesses to positively link him with the staying of two police officers, today buoyed the hope of Frank Palka, Buffalo, N. F., to escape the electric chair. The 23-year-old aviation worker is on trial before Superior Court Judge John A. Cor neil and jury, charged with the killing of Sergeant Thomas Kearney and Wilfred Walker after radio store robbery last September.
 Two eye-witnesses to the robbery Mrs. Amanda Burke and -Mrs. Elizabeth Breen-were able to give only a sketchy description of the man they said they saw walk away from the Gilman music store with radio under his arm a few min- utes before the policemen were shot. Because of the darkness, they test;- fled, they could only give partial identity. It was impossible to see the mans face. Both said he wore dark suit light hat.
 A third witness Daniel c. Rim kunas, a baker, said he talked with the two officers just before they were killed and told them he saw man, such as described by Mrs, Burke and Mrs. Bree1, just Q few minutes previously.

His speech Jan. % will be delivered on the occasion of Kansas day., Q prairie festival which this year possesses major political importance. Landon is expected to tell his Kansas and outside auditors how he would solve the prablems of a troubled nation.
