Jacksonville, Fla., Pec. 4. The dan
ger of getting typhoid fever increases
in direct ratio to the distance one
travels away from the big cities, ac
cording to Dr. John S. Fulton, secre
tary of the board of health of Mary
land, who addressed the American
Public Health association here today.
He called his discovery "the paradoxic
relation of typhoid fever to population
magnitudes."
Taking the typhoid records of 20
states. Dr. Fulton arranged them in
order of their percentage of rural pop
ulation, and found that the highest
typhoid rates occurred in the least ur
ban, or In other words, the most rural
states. He also examined some 400
counties which had no cities as large
as 10,000, and found that the less pop
ulous counties have the higher typhoid
rates.
"Typhoid fever Is a filth disease.
everywhere and always caused by
swallowing human filth," he said.
"The chance of infection is greater
under rural conditions, because the
rural way of disposing human filth Is
to let it He on the ground where it
has the best chance of coming back
into the human mouth as a contam
ination of food or drink. Under urban
conditions, human filth is generally
disposed of in 'less dangerous ways,
and under the best urban conditions,
Is disposed of fn a perfectly safe man
ner. It is therefore, a general rule in
this country, that the chances of con
tracting typhoid fever are highest in
the smallest communities, and lowest
In the largest."

Durham, Dec. 3. Up to the pres
ent time the Durham tobacco market
has sold approximately a half million
pounds of tobacco, and the tobaccon
ists of the city believe that about half
the crop is still to be sold. This
would indicate that this market will
sell more tobacco thus year than it
did last, despite the fact that there
was a tremendous shortage of the
crop in the sections from which the
local market draws Its trade.

Greensboro, Dec: 4. Hard times

that tells. Cotton, the staple that fell
away to almost nothing, so far as a
market for It was concerned, is coming
back Into Its own. When the war
broke out in Eur"ope, too much cotton
hud been raised by the farmers of the
south and the war caused a closing of
the market and almost literally eradi

Stay off the damp ground, avoid

meat, drink lots of water and above
all take a spoonful of salts occasion
ally to keep down uric acid.
Rheumatism Is caused by poisonous
toxin, called uric acid, which is gen
I erated in the bowels and absorbed In
to the blood. It is the function of pay same only in part. Confidence was
badly shaken. The country was afraid
of something which they thought was
going to happen, yet nothing has hap
pened. "It has taken time to restore confi
dence, to get our bearings and see our
own opportunities. True, some classes
have been very hard hit, notably the
southern cotton farmer, but the pres
ent low price of cotton is not due
wholly to the European situation.
Over-production is partially responsi
ble. In former years the cotton far-

urged to diversify, and raise enough
wheat, corn, feedstuffs and meat for
his own use. Under normal conditions
we believe this season's cotton crop
would have sold between 9 and 10
cents per pound as against about 13
cents last season when a medium sized
crop was raised. Every form of busi
ness must accumulate a reserve to
provide against a slack period or un
expected adverse conditions.
With the exception of the 1911 sea
son when a very large cotton crop was
raised, but for which a fair average
price was realized, the cotton farmer
has for the past five seasons received
very high prices for his product. If he
has not saved enough out of the earn
ings of these "fat years" to carry him
through this "lean year," then it would
seem he has been improvident and ex
travagant and the fact that he Is now
receiving a little less than the cost of
production, may, after all, prove to
him a blessing in disguise.
"Business with the mills was none
too good before the war, and since has
been extremely poor, but the mills are
making the best of things. They have
been running full time when possible,
tnking care of their employees, and
making goods for a demand they feel
confident will come sometime. It takes
lots of confidence to do this.
"Our local section seems to have
been especially fortunate. If it was
not for what one hears and reads, we
i would hardly know th-rt times were
not normal. As an illustrlatlon one-
local mill is doubling the capacity of
their plant. Those who have th
courage to do thlngi- ilke this will rea:
the rewards when trade conditions
I become normal.
"Our own business shows, an in
crease of 40 per cent over the same
period Inst season, that is from August
1st until December 1st. It is gratify
ing to note that only a small portion
of this increase was with New jns
land mills, the larger part being with,
our mills right here In North Carolina.
More business might have been done
with New England if we had had the I
time, but we have been too busy with1!
the trade at home.
"Confidence is being restored rapidly
we think the mills have passed
through their hardest period, and
everybody feels more optimistic, which !
after all is what really counts. The
cotton farmer is being held by various f
plans to hold part of his cotton for
better prices. The country is waking
up to an appreciations of itself, and ti
lts resources, and we believe 1915 Is p
going to be one of the best years in J
our history." ;
Many a politician with wheels thinks s
he is the whole political machine.
