THE Los Angeles newspapers
L carry the account of a small
epidemic OF typhoid fever. There.
we're q cases in all. OF these
II were caused by carriers. and
10 of these carriers we're grand
mothers.
1t is a remarkable but per-
fectly understandable situation.
Any one old enough 10 be a
grandmother was young in the
days-the so-called gay Cos
when typhoid fever was an
almost universal disease. OF
those who have had typhoid il
is estimated that 2 per cent are
carriers although some put the
percentage much higher.
A carrier is person who
never gets rid Of living typhoid
bacilli. They may be in the
gallbladder, the crypts Of the
bowel. or In the saliva. At any
rate they are always on the car
rier's fingers.
GRANDMOTHER are now
~ being pressed into service
as cooks. A certain percentage
OF them are inevitably typhoid
carriers. QE.D. They spread
typhoid fever.
/ venture TO say that now.
that water supplies are care
fully supervised. at least 30 per
cent OF typhoid fever is con-
veyed by carriers.
The answer 10 the problem Is
20 absurdly simple that ii
hardly requires stating. Every
one should have typhoid vac
cination. Yet / will guess that
OF 100 people who read this
statement all of whom have
never had typhoid fever or
never been vaccinated, who nod
approval OF the advice, not five
will have a course OF typhoid
vaccination during the coming
week.
Give yourself a typhoid vac
cinauon for Christmas.
THE history OF typhoid car
L riers is a long and CHASTITY
one. The first. the case that
opened the eyes of the bac-
teriologiStS 10 the possibility
that typhoid could be spread by
carriers was the famous Ty-
phoid Mary.
Mary Mallon was a kindly
genial soul who wouldn't have
done any one the slightest bit
Of harm for any consideration.
She was a cook, and good one.
But everywhere that Mary went
typhoid was sure 10 90.
Finally the health authorities
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1943-12-13

in New York persuaded Mary TO
allow them TO examine her, and
il showed she was full Of
typhoid germs and any food she
prepared would be contain
mated.
CHE was incarcersted and re-
- manned a prisoner for the
rest Of her life, A great injustice.
because what the health authori-
ties should have done was TO
vaccinate the whole community.
That was in 1909. when typhoid
vaccination was new and I'M
proved.
Since then there have been
innumerable cpl d emics of
typhoid caused by carriers. The
recital Of these tales is a horror.
Al a church supper. eight
women were employed extra 10
dice potatoes -Four OF them
were afterwards proved TO be
carriers. Warm potatoes are
the finest culture medium for
typhoid in the world OF the
attendants al the church supper
something like 80 came down
with typhoid and about 10 died.

"A have test TO see whether
they are typhoid carriers or not,
especially the middle-aged and
elderly ones, who grew up in the
typhoid era.
But in these rushed times il

course when grandma offers TO
help out in the privacy of the

lowing the enemy to beat us to
the punch in developing the
aerial torpedo, we made matters
worse by discounting the equip
ment and ridiculing what, in
reality, is a very sensible tacti-
cal procedure on the part of
the enemy. Such race-saving can
only lead to further unpleasant
surprises.
1T IS true that the German
rocket torpedoes, at the mo-
ment, are attached outside the
plane and therefore hurt per-
Torrance. But we should be
foolhardy to assume that this
is the end Of the matter. The
Nazis are clearly improvising
and experimenting.
1t should be recalled that at
first bombs. too, were attached

bombing became an established

CHRISTMAS IN A FOX HOLE

With my Buddy Billy Jones,
We didn't have hot turkey,
Didn't even have the bones.
There were no trees with trimmings,
No songs of Auld Lang Syne,
There were no Christmas carols,
To show twas Christmas time.
Just lying here and thinking
Of what it would be like,
If l were back home singing
The sweet song of Silent Night.
Back home to Christmas dinner,
With Nom and Pop and Sue,
Back home there is hot turkey
With all the trimmings too.
Wen all be home next Christmas,
Well all be home to stay,
Wen all be home with Nom and Pop,
On that one Holy Day.
