Protection Against
Typhoid Fever Urged
By Health Director
Disease IS Considered Tricky
Germs Enter Body By Way
OF The Mouth

If you have not been vaccinated
against typhoid fever within the last
two or three years, DR.. r. H. Riley,
Director of the State Health Depart
ment, advises you to go to your doctor
on the nearest health officer and have
him give you the three "shots" that
will protect you against the disease.
This advice is directed particularly
to Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts and other
youngsters who are looking forward
to spring and summer hikes and trips
But it is meant also for others. young
or older, whose business or pleasure
takes them to places where there may
be doubt as to the purity or safety
Of the waer supply or as to the care
with which food is handled.
"You take typhoid by way of the
mouth Dr.. Riley explained at is
rarely contracted in any other way.
You drink, or eat, the disease-produc-
ing germs in water. milk, or in other
foods contaminated by discharges
from the kidneys or the bowels of per
sons i'll with typhoid, or from others,
no longer i'll, but who have had the
disease and who continue, at times, to
discharge the germs. Such persons are
known as carriers
"If these discharges are not care
fully disinfected and carefully dis
posed of. the ease-producing germs
may seep into the water supply or en-
danger food supplies. There is always
the possibility, also, that carriers
will be careless in their personal hab-
its and will neglect to wash their
hands thoroughly after they have been
to the toilet and will infect any food
they handle.
"Public health measures: Protection
of public water supplies from contain
ination, sanitary disposal of sewage,
pasteurization of milk and the sani-
tary supervision of other food supplies
and Of food handling; skilled medical
care and precautions to prevent the
spread of the disease from an individ-
ual to others, have done a great deal
toward protecting the public against
the disease. But experience has proved
typhoid fever to be a very tricky dis

FROM OUR
EXCHANGES
FIRST AID KNOWLEDGE
PROBABLY SAVES LIFE

William Alvin Post, 13-year-old
member of the Cape Charles Boy
Scout troop, probably owes his life
TODAY to the first aid knowledge Of
his fellow scouts. Seriously cut on
the foot more than two miles from
Cape Charles, the Post lad was given
first aid, including applications Of a
tourniquet and brought to the office
of DR.. S. K. Ames, of Cape Charles,
where eight stitches were required to
close the cut.
Monday afternoon, around one
o'clock, Post and his four companions,
Clifton Ball, Russell Spencer, Carol
Sadler and Bill McGrath, were play
ing on the sand hills south of the
local Pennsylvania railroad harbor.
Jumping down hill, young Poststep-
ned on a broken bottle and sustain
ed a long, de ep cut under the instep.
Recognizing the seriousness of the
injury, his fellow scouts applied the
tourniouet, improvised a stretcher,
and carried the boy more than two
miles to the doctors office. DR.. Ames
is reported to have said that had
the scouts not known first aid, the
consequences of the accident might
have been much more serious.

VIRGINIA YOUTH KILLED
NEAR ST. GEORGES, DEL

Efforts of 16-year-old youth to
preyent what he feared might be a
serious fire on truck load of piling
cost him his life near st. Georges,
last week.
Albert Bailey, 16, Onancock, Va,
was thrown from the steps of the
truck cab when the brakes were put
on by the driver, Lester H. Selby, 30,
also of Onancock Bailey fell to the
concrete surface of the highway and
was struck by the rear wheel Of the
semi-trailer.
Selby was driving the truck and
semi-trailer, carrying pilings, north
on the Dupont Boulevard, one mile
south of st. Georges, at $40 o'clock
Monday morning when the accident
occurred. Bailey was helper on the
truck.
AS they neared st. Georges, Bailey
saw a fire back of the cab, over the
big gasoline tank, which is also back
of the cab. The youth shouted a
warning "Fire" to Selby and opened
the right door of the cab.
Selby put on the brakes as Bailey
started to climb out, state police said
He felt a bump and saw that Bailey
was gone, apparently he had fallen
out. The youth was struck by the
rear tractor wheels and dragged sew
eral feet. He is believed to have been
killed instantly.
State police said the fire was in an
old pair of overalls and a pillow.
There was no damage to the tractor,
semi-trailer or the pilings.
Coroner William Smith, Jr., was
notified and Deputy Coroner Isaac
A, Thornton investigated.
Selby was arrested by state police,
who investigated, on charge OF
manslaughter and arraigned before
Magistrate Calvin H. Stats, Of St.
Georges.
The truck and pilings are owned by
Harry Smith, of Pungoteague, Va.
Bailey's death brought the total
auto death toll for 1912 up to 10 COM
pared with q for the corresponding
period of last year, the Delaware SAT-
ETY. Council said.

l do not mean it is we'll for us in
speech and writing 10 initiate the
Bible. II we do We viii fan into
grievous errors. Milton consciously
initiating the Bible wrote a rather
second rate poem, Paradise Lost and
worse one. Paradise Regaiued.
Many present day writer's fail into
similar error by consciously refusing
the biblical influence. Fortunately
fer them that is an inpossibility and
they write wen in spite of themsel-
YES. I do mean that the Bible con
tains every cannon Of good writing,
the proper construction for every
species Of thought, the exact word
that the spirit Of the thought de-
mands and it is usually the brief
punchy word Of our everyday life.
The best writing most nearly resem-
bles good talk.
A few examples of biblical style
when that April with its showers
sweet
The drought Of March hath pierced
to the root"
If you pillow farm you know
what that means. And it's not the
Bible. 1t was written by Chaucer|
three hundred years before, but on
that sort Of writing the Bible trans
Iation was based.

the lonely sea and the sky"
Nor is that the Bible 1t is Mase-
field the present Poet Laureate,
three hundreds years after the Bible
was translated.
Listen to my sentence
"He descended rapidly to a prone
position" That is certainly not the
Bible but it is an example of Eng
lish as it is too often written.
Finally, read books, plenty Of them
and those that deeply appeal to you
will be good books-for you are the
Judge. And read the Bible because
it is the closest to the heart of hu-
mainly and upon it is based all good
talk and all good writing. A some
great writer said, reading maketh a
full man." And that has biblical
ring.

You feel its throb. Fix lux ct fiat
lux" Note the beauty, the cadence,
the terseness and the tenseness. You
get it though you may not know what
the words mean
The Bible might have begun with a
scientific explanation of the nature
OF light in long Latin derived words,
and am analysis of Gods dctcrmiua-
ton to produce it, The Bible then
would not have been the Bible. 1t
would have been a dead and drealy
treatise.
Great writer's, too, if they have
great thoughts write that way, Lister

"The rest is silence"
"Now cracks noble heart"
If that is not the Bible in terse-
ness and beauty I do not know what
is.
Listen to the poet Gray

And the Bible
"a sower went forth to SOW.
Which is biblical? Both are, and
both are a picture in real terse Eng
lish which we use every day.

BIBLE CLAIMED
AS THE BEST BOOK
EVER PUBLISHED

The following is q paper read be
fore the congregation OF Salem Meth
odist Church by George w. Nande-
grift
Books are among the best gifts of
God to humanity and the Bible is the
best of all books.
The reasons are not far to seek.
The Bible is closer to our every day
living, our thoughts, our speech, and
our spirits. In beauty, soul, and cir
culation it is and always will be the
first of all books.
Since 1911, when the Bible was
translated and published every writer,
consciously or unconsciously has imi-
tated it because the men who at
that time accomplished their task
strove successfully to mirror the heart
and soul of the English people in
their old and simple language.
The common people of today, you
and I, the people of the streets, the
fields, forests and farms speak that
same simple language that has come
down through the past through the
medium of this same great book De-
tails have changed, Of course, as our
implements, our hats, clothes, and
shoes have changed, but they are
fundamentally the same hats, clothes,
and shoes. Naturally we do not use
the same ancient phrases. We do not
say Adam begat Cain, Abel and Seth,
but we do say that Adam raised
three head. One is as understandable
as the other and both have the same
tone, rhthym and cadence. Listen to
this-he fell flat on his back. Do
you hear the Bible in that? I do.
But I do not in this-he descended
rapidly to a prone position. 1t is as
dead as Rome from which every word
came.
These short terse Anglo-Saxon
words have survived numerous revo-
lutions. Caesar is not even mem
DRY in the Language. William the
Conqueror with his French-Latin was
eventually conquered by the sturdy
old English and his language has left
only weakening influence which is
hardly a decoration.
But beautiful English does not
make the Bible what it is. It is the
spirit beneath it that counts. Many
writer's have written beautiful Eng
fish but little or nothing remains of
them. There was no living spirit
within them.
The sermon of the Mount is death
less because q deathless spirit is eX
pressed in it. 1t delights US more be-
cause the incarnation of its language
is of fitting beauty.
"And God said, let there be light
and there was light" That is the
way to start story in any language
with a punch. In Latin, as we'll,
