Experts. Declare Disease Dreaded More Than. Smallpox V Washington, Dec. 23. Just at this season of the year, when it is more agreeable to think of holly and mistle toe and the tinkling of the Christmas bells across, the glistening snow than to ponder seriously over microbes, ba cilli and the thousands and one other forms of. lifedestroying parasites to whicti human man is heir. But when such men as Logan Waller Page, John K. Mohler and Erwin F. Smith, all experts in the United States Depart ment of Agriculture, aoist the danger signal, it is time to take notice, lest the spirit of levity which now pre vails over the land make us lose sight of many phases of importance in ev eryday life. Telling the bad news quickly, these experts say "typhoid fever is a com municable disease more to be dreaded on the whole than smallpox, because at present in countries which practice vaccination smallpox is a disease which occurs only occasionally, and is soon stamped out, whereas typhoid fever prevails' widely in all civilized countries, attacking by preference the young and middle-aged, and causes not only many deaths every year, but great economic losses. Serious im pairment of tfye heart, and other or gans may persist after recovery. In recent years the subject has been brought home in a very emphatic manner. "The disease is not contagious in the ordinary sense of the word, I. e., it; is not usually spread from person to person by touch, as in the case of scarlet fever or smallpox. Careful nurses seldom contract the 'disease. Generally it is attributed indirectly, the person who contracts the disease having in some way swallowed some of the germs from a previous case. . The disease is now generaly believ ed to be due to a schizomycete known as bacilli typhosus. The gernr causes ulcers on the intestinal walls and also multiplies in other organs of the body. It is believed that the common house fly frequently carries on its body from filthy places the germs' of typhoid f e ver' and deposits them on food in fcitctiens and dining room tables. The number of cases in the regis tratipn area of the United States every year amounts to about 1,000, and the deaths amount to about 13,000. while in the entire United States it is estimated that there are about three times this number. "In twenty years (1890-19M in the English army in India there were 25, 510 cases of typhoid fever and 6,494 deaths. The proportion of deaths va ries from 10 per cent, or lesa in light epidemics to 30 per cent. In more se vere ones. "Typhoid fever is a self-limited di sease. By this is meant that if the patient does not die during the prog ress of the disease the body reacts against the invading mirco-organisms, with the production of various anti bodies known as agglutinins, opsonins, etc., and these limit the disease to a number of weeks, after which the per: son recovers and the virus (the germ) disappears from the body.' Special experiments were made by the English army during the , Boer war and also in the Japanese-Russian .war, when this disease was very prev alent, and while satisfactory along certain lines, the experts feel that they still have much to learn.

DAVID CO (By Henry Arnold Dennis.X The Christmas season, wiiu all its joys and hallowed -memories, is with us again. There is perhaps no other season in the whole year which brings with it a' happier.spirit, and at- which time, more than any other, everybody feels the pleasure that tnere is in giv ing something to friends; And it may be said, I 'believe with all truthful ness, that the children find moi)e pleas ure in the Christmas season than any others do. But what thing in partic ular brings so mucu pleasure to the children? To.be sure it is the many presents that they ; receive from friends and from Santa Claus. But what is this Santa Claus that we hear so much about, and where does he live, and what does ue do? Tousands upon thousands, and per haps millions, of small children ask mamma and papa these questions ev ery Christmas, and they are toM that he is some 'good, old man who lives at the North Pole, and who, together with Mrs. Santa Claus, works from one Christmas to the next making up presents to take to all the good little boys and girls. And they say that on each Christmas Eve night he hitches his reindeers to a big sleigh and comes bounding down from the frozen North with his presents for the children, and that after the fire in the grate has all gone out, and while everybody " is asleep, he creeps down the chimney with his bag of presents, leaves it in the room, and then goes on to the next. little boy s house. Such an answer as this one may satify unui the child gets to be six,, or eight, or perhaps ten years old, but then his curiosity gets the .better of him, and another explanation must -be forthcoming. And after all, what is Santa Claus, and does he visit the little children ir the orphan homes where there is nc father and mother to delight their fancies by telling them these sweet stories? Yes, there is a Santa Claus just as surely as there is a Christmas, and he visits the little children in the or phan homes just as surely as he .visits any other little boys and girls. In deed, it is at such institutions that he takes the greatest pleasure in de positing his gifts. In the homes where there are only two or. three children, father and mother lavishly pour out their love upon their fittle ones in rich and expensive toys and play things. These things last only a few weeks until they are broken up or lost and are no more, but all the same they served their purpose in their day, Among all classes of people gifts, some costly and some inexpensive, are exchanged at the Christmas season, and all carry their sweet messages and tokens from one friend tn anoth er. The young man finds no greater pleasure than in giving something to his mother or to his sweetheart, and even those tn the far off distant lands are not forgotten. But haw is it at the orphan -home? Mamma and papa are not there to fill the stockings and tc spread the toys and the goodies down by the little trundle .ed and to take the little ones in their arms on Christmas morning and greet them with the happy word: Look what Old Santa Claus brought you last night" No, none of that; but Old Stnta comes to see the little orphans just the same. Many times I have stood on the porch and seen the old wagon come from the depot loaded with boxes of good things for the orphan to eat and tc wear. Often have I seen the chil dren run out to meet the boys on the wagon anxiously inquiring if their box from Uncle Charlie or Aunt Mollie had come, or perhaps some little pres ent from dear old mother in a far-off distant town. Yes, I have myself done this very thing, and oh, the joy there was in it! Many hearts have I seen gladdened by presents . from loved ones far away who had not forgotten those who were less fortunate than they. And, perhapsthe best part of it is that when these little ones re ceive their boxes from friends or from mother they never forget their broth ers and sisters the others boys and girls who are sharing their home with them. I' do not mean that each box Is divided equally with all the other ( children, but there won.- be but little !joy in Christmas for the little child at the orphan home if he could not share his presents with his little friends that are there with him. And, so all lare made happy by the kindness of 'one friend to one little boy or girl. Long before and after Christmas Day the"tables in the dining halls are filled to overflowing with eatables and other good, things that are sent from the storehouses of those who have this world's goods in abundance, and who, out of the goodness of their hearts, have remembered , the children of their deceased brethren. But all of the joy and happiness that fili the heart of the orphan, at Christ mas time does not consist in partaking of such things as satisfy the physical man. These things hjave their places, tut they are not all. Mnch of his joy comes from making, others happy. Each year a Christmas entertainment is given by the children, and the pub lic is always invited. Who can esti mate the joy and the measure of in spiration that comes to them from singing the songs that tell of the Sav iour's birth, and of the first Christmas time many, many years ago? Who would dare say that the hearts of these dear boys and girls are not thrilled with the consciousness - of their duty to their God, and that they are not drawn nearer to Him who is the Father of the fatherless, even by the music of their own voices? No adult mind can feel or realize just' the sweetness and the joy that come into the mind of a child as it thinks of how the angels appeared- unto tne shepherds as they watched' their flocks by night oh the plains of old Judea in the long, long ago. But, have we seen yet how Old San ta Claus visits .the little children in the orphan homes? ' Not only are the orphan children made happy by the happy Christmas time and by the many sacred memories. of the past that it calls to mind, but 'all the whole year around Santa Claus visits them and provides for. their welfare. It Is by the goodness of those who support the institution that the children have the -privilege of attending schpoL and all the other advantages that ' come to them. Then does not Santa Claus visit the little children' in the orphan home? - . And, again, what is, Santa Claus? We know that there, is no good old man, who lives at the North Pole, and works from Christmas to another; and who , on each. Christmas Eve night, IreiiuUiioniinlrices WRIER; gj 34 NORTH FRONT STREET.

Should a dozen men be placed onvthe top of the house, a dozen in front of the fire place, and another dozen 'at the key hole in the front door, they all to gether could not detect Old Santa Claus when he entered the little boy's house and put his presents down. In that sense there is no Santa Claus. But there is a Santa Claus who can be all over the world at the same time. He can be at the homes of the little children in America, and England, and Germany, and Russia all' on the same night and bring his gifts and toys. And he is the Santa Claus that makes all people who love to give good, gifts unto their neighbors, and who find joy in making others happy, not only ar Christmas time but through all the year. - And the old legend of Santa Claus that sprung up centuries ago among the Peasants of Russia, and which was a symbol of love and friendship that is abroad in the world at this happy season of the year. And that is Santa Claus. And now, dear reader? your joy would be full and perfect, this Christ mas, and if you want, to get the most possible out of your ,. Christmas this year, then be yourself Some one's San ta Claus. You may be: poor yourself, but none of us is so poor that we can not do something for some one this Christmas. If you can do so, send something to the orphan home that you love most and that lies nearest your heart. If you can, send some thing to them all, and. know that if this you do this year, the gift of the Christ-child that came into the world in a lowly manger in Bethlehem on the first Christmas night in the long ago, will be sweeter and dearer to you than ever before.
