Many Deaths Reported From Ty phoid On account of the very large ; number of deaths from typhoid fever that have been reported to the State Board of Health w ith the last few weeks, the Board is I urging the people to lose no time in taking the immunizing treat ment against this disease. It says that on account of every case being a new source of in fection and its spread and con tact, so insidious and unsuspect ed, that no intelligent person con afford to neglect taking this means of protecting himself. Furthermore, the Board says June is the month when the death rate from typhoid fever be gins to rise and that already the incoming death certificates are showing an unusually large num ber of deaths from this disease for this season of the yearr "Vaccination as an effective means of preventing typhoid fever", says the Board, "has been well established, but the main reason why people continue to get sick and die from typhoid is indifference and not ignorance. The indifference and neglect that tolerate flies, filth and the spread of typhoid from individual to in dividual is that same indifference that makes a person neglect vac cination as a means of protecting himself. Indifference is now the cause of more deaths from ty phoid fever than ignorance". FREE ANTI-TYPHOID VACCINE Anti-typhoid vaccine may now be had absolutely free of cost for all who have nut already been immunized and who will come to the office of Dr. T. W. M. Long, Health Officer, between the hours of seven and tiht P. M., on Monday, Wednesday and Friday nights.

About half th HMile of Roa noke Kapids are at. present im mune and the results accomplish ed by Use use of this anti-toxin are shown by ill fact that t bert has been no typhoid here durii g the past two years.

The team is strengthening up to the en tire satisfaction of the fans and J the games get better as the newness works off. The Sailors from U. S. S. Louisiana, who played here on Friday and Saturday put up a stiff fight, taking the Friday game in a hard fought contest, but losing both games of the double header played Saturday. The Louisiana crowd are good ball players, and the team made an excellent impression here on account of the clenn and courte ous games they played and their deportment, in fact, during their entire stay here. They will cer tainly be welcomed if they come to play other games. To-day and to-morrow theWeav ers and the Greens meet again on the local grounds. The assurance of fast baseball and a band con cert during the Saturday game by the Rosemary Concert Band will probably bring out a record breaking attendance. What To Do For Poison Oak roison oaK, or poison ivy, is frequently encountered this sea son of the year on outings and picnics, especially on trips to the woods. It is a vine that climbs over rocks, bushes or tree trunks and may be known by its clusters of three lancet-shaped leaves, having notched edges. A plant producing a poison very much like poison oak is sumack, or shumak. It is a shrub which grows from five to ten feet high, with its leaues in groups of seven to thirteen. If anything, this plant is more poisionous than poison oak, as even its pollen will produce inflammation, but the effects are the same and yield to the same treatment. Poisoning from poison oak or sumach is not fatal, but unless care is taken it may become very painful. It is caused by direct contact with the plant, but, fortunately, everybody is not susceptible to its poison. It most frequently occurs on the hands and not infrequently on the face and nose where hands have touched. Its first symptom is a localized itching which soon turns red. Later fine water blisters appear, and if these are scratched, other parts of the Doay are imeiy to become in fected from the pus on the fingers. Inflammation and swel nng iouow tne ruDDing or scratching of the irritated parts, The best things to do about ivy poison is to prevent it. Wear gloves on going where it is and keep hands from face and nose. If, however, you get the poison irrg, wash it off as soon as possi ble with strong soap and water. ! If you are in the woods and soap is not available, use fine sand or mud and water and rub vigorous ly in orW to remove the oily like substance. If soap and water or strong soap suds does not check the irritation, use baking soda in water, or paint the affected parts with a solu- J i tion of potassium permanganate (1 to 2,000). For this treat ment, it will bo well to call in a doctor. The Auction Block," bjr Rex Beach, standi out by the virtue of tba humor which he flndi In lbs wicked metropo lis.
