If baseball fans appear slightly in

The paradox of humanity is, an edi-

grows older our wars become more
terrible. Ma paradox-a man can hit

An italian warplane shot down an
inoffensive Ethiopian eagle. The
birds crime, we can guess, was it

Typhoid "carriers"-people who
are not i'll with the disease but who
transport and transmit the germs
are blamed for its recurrent out
breaks. Some individuals, once hav-,
ing suffered an attack, do not COM
pletely rid their systems of thei
germs, but continue periodically tol
expel these organisms. II is difficult
to control these carriers, but strict.
attention to sanitary handling of
food and drink, to sanitation OF
privies, to effective disposal of gar
bage and waste, and to careful ex-
clusion of flies, would practically
eradicate the disease, say health
workers. Immunization against the
disease is considered a strong and
important weapon in its control.
Typhoid is a filth borne disease,
and results directly from a transfer
of the bowel discharge from a car
rier," or from an i'll person, to the
mouth and alimentary canal of an
other individual. Persons using milk
or water of unproven purity should
sterilize it by boiling and cooling
before drinking.
