TYPHOID WIDELY SCATTERED Valuable Information . Given By the ' "" Board of Health. (From Advance Sheets qf the August Bulletin of the State .Board of Health.) - . - , Typhoid fever Js present ineeyenty five of the ninety counties , reporting for .July. Itls therefore widely preva-v lent in our State. It is a communicable disease, spreading from one case - to another, though generally in a rounda bout fashion. Its extension can be pre vented ,hy the careful observance of certain simple rules. For the informa tion' of the people'Ve give these rules, preceded by a statement of the reasons upon -which they are based. If read and heeded by .even "a few some lives-would be saved add much sickness would be prevented. Read them and tell about them. -; j The" active agency in the causation of typhoid fever is a bacterium, the bacillus typhosus, which attacks and causes the ulceration of certain glands in the . small intestine, : developing therein by myriads. They are there-; fore to be found chiefly j in. the bowel discharges, although present also- in the excretion of . the kidneys and to some extent in the expectoration of a person sick with the disease. From one of these sources, nearly! : arways the first named, the bacteria are' transfer red to the intestinal tract of a healthy person. The poison is always swallow ed. The - most common agencies of transfer are the drinking , water In cluding milk infected from washing' cans in polluted water, ; and the com mon house fly, although It may be con veyed "directly to the nurse by her own soiled hands, and sometimes in . dust The most Important rules therefore for the prevention of the extension of the disease may be briefly j stated as fol lows; ' , . ' ,- 1. Cover immediately upon their pas sage the bly discharges to. prevent access of flies. . y-:-.. - : -... ; 2. As soon as possible thoroughly disinfect the ' discharges by - mixing' in equal quantity with' them .one of the following: (a) freshly made milk of lime or --"whitewash" (unslaked lime); (b) a five per cent solution 'of carbolic acid; (c) a 1 to 1,000 solution of corrosive sublimate; (d) a 1 . per cent' solution of formaldehyde. After standing a half -hour (covered all the time) the mixture should be buried (never thrown on the surface" of the ground) at a distance from the well of not less than 150 feet i 3. Provide In the sick-room a wooden tub one-third full of either of the three way of body or bed-clothing, handker- cnieis, xoweis; eic., u&i na.ve cume m contact with the patient, and keep them submerged until f they can be boiled,-washed and dried in the sun.. 4. All remnants of food that may for any" reason be' carried into the sick room must be burned, i 5. The nurse should wash her hands and dip them into one of the solutions, preferably : corrosive sublimate, alter every "changing" of the patient, bne should never draw, water from the family well unless a pump N is used. In case It should be absolutely necessary she should disinfect her hands as above before doing so. 1 . . 6. The soiled linen of the patient should never be washed at or near the well or snrinsr. The greatest care should be observed to prevent the drainage or seepage through the soil Into the well or spring from accumulation of filth of all kinds. As soon as a case of typhoid fever appears in a family all drinking water should' be boiled 'Until a report on the same can be obtained 'from the State Biologist, the family physician maklne aoolication to the Secretary, of the Board of Health tor permit and sterilized bottle. . - . . f , . ' 1 7. As the germ Is present in the in testine in the preliminary stages and for several weeks after covaniescence is established and the patient practical ly well, extra care of surface, privies should be observed. Every evacuation should be immediately and completely covered with lime or . dry - powdered earth. - Summary.

Says : - the President INTERVfEWEH IN PHILADELPHIA. Mr Roosevelt Says the Republican Managers in Pennsylvania Can End the Trouble. Philadelphia" Special. The Record" of Saturday print an interview on the coal strike with President Roosevelt who passed through this city . Friday on his way to Washington. The Presi dent is quoted as saying: v : . - "I am grieved beyond measure at the difficulty in Pennsylvania and other coal producing states over the wage and kindred questions.' '. "What remedy is at. hand?" he was asked., " "There is a remedy," said the Presi dent ' ' , . ' ' "Do you mean the President could In- terfere?" - "No," replied the President, emphat ically. ,;;" ' "What can be done?" he was then asked. -.,. ' . ,- c I would refer you to the men at the head of the Republican party who are in control of affairs in Pennsylvania. I am sure that their conservative opin ion of the difficulties rampant will ul timately, make a settlement of this great question. Of course, politics does not enter into the mining problem, yet I seincerely hope that the Rennblican principles which are framed alike for high and low will level the problem to- equity." , v . -Another Opinion. Wilkesbarre, Special. T. Tu Lewis, vice president of tne United- Mine Workers arrived here from Virginia and had a conference with .President Mitchell. Mr. Mitchell said Mr. Lewis visit was with reference to the strike in Virginia. President Mitchell says 700 men are. affected by the settlement of the strike' in the Pocahontas region.

About 20,000 miners are still thTSrti New River and paintmnt district So far the anthracite regipn is concerned, President ' Mitchell says there is no change in the situation. The district officers continue to report1 that the strikers remain firm.

Wanted to Kill His Wife. Cincinnati, O., Special. There were sensational developments- in the sui cide last Tuesday night of George Con rad, head waiter for the Gibson House. His wife, on apprehending letters from the wife of a prominent business man to jier husband, was suing Conrad for divorce and a wealthy society womaa for -alienation of affections. The attor neys of Mrs, Conrad applied to the postal authorities and among the lat- ters from Conrad to the woman of whom he was enamored there was found one in which Conrad outlined his plan, "to convey his wife to the middle of the Ohio river, upset the skiff, as though by accident, swim ashore him- self-and leave Mrs. Conrad to drown. When Conrad was confronted by his wife's attorneys with this letter, and knew he would be prosecuted criminal ly, he had a hurried interview- with the woman for' whom "he had deserted his wife and then killed himself. Mrs. Conrad says he repeatedly invited her to take boat rides, but she had been forewarned. The implication of a well- known woman, here in the damage suit of Mrs. Conrad, has caused a great sen sation. - - Briefs of a General Nature. .
