The ambaaaadarial I attar, addr. ...u
to Henry 8. Barnard, preetJont of tha

"I am instructed by tha preeidani of

t. America ahoold not give away

10. American milliner* should be

11. American buyer* already act
dictatorially toward Pari* creator*.
They want what they term "American

12. The label "Made in Paris" must
be included in all worldwide style*.
13. America ha* no artiatic atmos

Beginning
The three source* for the spread of
typhoid fever are: Water, fllen and
contact with a person nick with ttiej
diNin.
"Contact" ia a convenient term to
indicate the spread of the infection
directly or indirectly as a result of
cloee association between the sick and
the sound. Typhoid fever infection
then may he passed from one to an
other through kissing, soiled hands,
remnanta of food, infected thermome
ters. or tongue depressors, contami
nated towels or other fabric, cups,
spoons, glasses etc. The infection may
al»o be spread in the household by
flies, fingers and various other means
usually difficult to trace, and which
are, therefore, all included under this
group. Regarded in this light, contacts
play a large role i nthe spread of dia
eaee.
Studiex of the incidence of typhoid
fever in our largest hospitals, show
that typhoid fever ia at least twice
nnd may be eight times as prevalent
among those who come in close and
frequent association with the person
sick with the disease, aa among thi
population at large. Further, the dia
eaae contracted under such condition i
seems to me a course of more than
ordinary severity, with a greater
number of complications and with a
high mortality.
Typhoid fever. In view of all the
facta, murt now be regarded aa a,
"contagious" disssss. We will never
have aa end of it until it ia M regard
