There ha ve been reported to tlie Bureau of Epidemiology of the State Board of Health since July 15th several sharp outbreaks of typhoid fever. From Granville and Columbus Co unties there are reported two instan ces of three cases of Typhoid Fever in the same family From Catawba and Columbus Counties there are re ported two instances of five cases in a family, and, as if to cap the climax of this series, from Wilson County there has been reported an instance of six cases of Typhoid Fever in one family. Typhoid Fever is still contagious, still infectious and slill one of. our most deadly enemies among the com municable diseases. Though greatly reduced throughout the State as a whole, such instances as these Just cited serve to show that it will spread from person to person until whole families will contract the disease, un less rigid and adequate precautions ere observed. Aijd, in spite of the best of treatment, Typhoid Fever is claiming a death from every eight to ten cases. The recent State-wide efforts to ward improvement of sanitation, par ticularly in respect to sanitary priv ies and vaccination against typhoid fever, have greatly reduced the am ount of the disease. The deaths last year were about 60 per cent what they were in 1914, but still there is room t&r improvement. Alamance and Gaston Counties have Just com pleted distinctly successful vaccina tion campaigns. Franklin and Meek lenburg Counties have Just begun si milar offorts toward stamping out j this infection. Johnston, Duplin, An son and Rutherford Counties will be gin campaigns in the next few days Through these treatments citizens TBI, rlvan flfTlnfrnLflnnWlnn fnr vat rs to come. The State Boak-d of Hea lth recommends that every citizen take advantage of the -opportunity presented to avoid typhoid fever. Such outbreaks as these in which whole fa milies are sick at once CAN and MUST be prevented. Captures Complete Still Outfit Sheriff H. A. Kearney and xConsta ble J. E. Thomas reported the cap ture of a complete still outfit Monday afteVnoon on Crooked Creek near the Did Harris mill site.

JAPAN CONCERNED OVER LATE PARLEV Suggestion That Great Britain May Join America Meets With Much .Disfavor. Tokio, Aug. 3. ? Special dispatches from the United States describing the recent conference held at the Ameri can State Department between Sec retary of State Colby, Sic Auckland Geddes, the British ambassador to the United States; Roland Morris, A merican ambassador to Japan, and Sir BlllBby Francis Alstrom, the Brll=~ ish minister to China, at which the general situation in the far East was discussed and the suggestion in some of the dispatches that Great Britain is showing signs of joining the United States in her far Eastern policy, have served to increase the nervousness here over Japanese-American rela tions. Leading newspapers devote leng thy editorials to discussion of the sit uation and generally demand that the Japanese people show an unbroken front. The Nicbi Nichi thinks the trouble with Japan's diplomacy lies in the fact that the authorities are "exclusively timid arid overconsider ate for the feelings of other coun 'tries." r They should take resohite action on their own responsibility, the newspa per says. ? Some Americans add the NicchI Ni chi, interpret occupation of Saghalin as a gratificatiin of territorial ambi tion but if any Japanese are harbor-, ing such ambitions they are merely old fashioned imperialists. The Hochi Shlmbun declares the country should not belittle the in>^ portance of the American communi cation regarding Japanese occupa tion which the newspaper considers virtually a protest. k While deprecating rage over th<* American protest the Hochi Shlmbun says? "Let us urge no yielding to a protest based merely on a suspicious imagination. We are anxious to see I the problems of Japan and America settled amicably but there is a limit to our patience. If things become un regrettable not only so rar as Japan ,p?ip-ftmflfiran relations are bbboihh Led-but for the peace of the worlds We ' hope . the. authorities will abide by the cause of justice and tear nothing."
