Three weeks ago an order came

took them first to Cayenne, then to
Progreso. Mexico; then Port au

to sleep on improvised hunks set up

Don't Trust To Luck
In Typhoid Prevention
Vaccination Advised BY Health
Director TO Protect Against
Disease

Here is a bit Of advise from DR.. R,
H. Riley, Director of the Maryland
State Department Of Health to Boy
Scouts, Girl Scouts, and any other
voIugsters- others-who are MAX
inc plans for vacation outings.
IF you have not been vaccinated
against typhoid fever, recently-with-
in the last year or two-go to your
doctor or the nearest health officer, for
the three shots of typhoid vaccine
that will protect you against that
disease.
"Don't wait" Dir. Riley's message
continues, until just before you start
on your trip, to have it done. Go ahead
and arrange for it now. The three
shots are given at intervals of a week
apart. After that it takes several
weeks for the protective treatment
to establish itself throughout the
system.
"Typhoid fever is a germ disease.
Water, milk or other foods that have
been contaminated by typhoid germs
are the main sources Of the disease.
"a great deal has been aceomp-
lished through public health measures
to prevent the spread of the disease
from such sources. The protection of
public and private water supplies
from contamination, the extension Of
community sanitation, the sanitary
supervision of foods, pasteurization
of milk and other measures, have all
helped to safeguard the public against
the disease. Typhoid is much less
prevalent than formerly, but it is still
source of much unnecessary and
avoidable illness.
"The typhoid-producing germs are
passed in the discharges from persons
i'll with the disease or who have had
it at some time. Some persons con-
tinue to pass the germs long after
recovery from the illness, and become
what are known as carriers. If these
carriers of the disease germs are care
less in their personal habits and ne
glect to wash their hands very thor
oughly after thay have been to the
toilet and before handling or prepar-
ing food for other people, the food
may become contaminated and may
be a source Of danger. Some of the
most serious outbreaks of typhoid
that have occurred in recent years
have been traced to foods handled by
careless carriers.
"Another source of danger, if you
are an out-of-dorr person, is in the
unprotected water supply. You can't
ten from the looks Of a stream
whether or not it is safe for drinking
purpose. Better avoid it or boil it if
you are not sure. For the same reason,
unless you are sure Of the source of
your milk supply, that you buy for
your camping-out meals, you'd better
boil that also.
Health Departments can and do
protect the public against many of the
dangers of typhoid from public sour
ces, but the best protection against
unknown sources of infection is
through vaccination against the di-
sease.
You'll have no trouble in arrang-
ing for vaccination against typhoid.
See your doctor or your health officer
about it. Don't trust to luck"

WHERE TO DINE.

Curtain Lifted

In allowing foreign military attaches recent.
in six months the Soviet Union has provided
news of some significance.
When these inspections were barred, it was
a good sign that all was not we'll within the
ranks of the Soviet military machine. Nations
are ordinarily glad enough to show off their
armed strength, particularly since inspections
are generally confined to picked units. One
lost no chance to impress outsiders with the
power of the army. The fact that they chose
to shut the door and keep it closed could
only have been due to a reluctance to admit
just what kind of an army Moscow had.
About six months ago, however, the Rus.
slams put a new defense commissar, Marshal
Semyon Timoshenko, in charge and he has
been laboring to whip the Red army into
shape. Numerous reforms in organization were
made, new ranks were created and strenuous
efforts were made to strengthen discipline,
one thing which was notably lacking in the
early days of the Soviet regime.
By this time Marshal Timoshenko must be
fairly well satisfied with the results. At any
rate, a German military commission has been
allowed to inspect part of the military machine
and two days later American officers were
taken on a tour.
There has been no public statement on what
they saw or whether they were impressed.
But there can be no doubt that Moscow hopes
they were. For, if Russia expects to stave of
an Avic drive 4bro,1oh Tho DarJ,rol1oc 1,;%La,A
fighting, she will have to convince the Nazi:
that she has a formidable force able to give
the Germans plenty of trouble.
