More About Typhoid Fever
One hundred and fifty people took
the typhoid vaccine in my office one
day recently. Seventy-eight took it
at Adoniram on the 18th. Practic
ally all the white children of school
age in the Adoniram section are tak
ing the treatment. About one-hali
the white children in Oxford oi
school age have taken or are taking
it.
Typhoid fever is a. disease of
young people. It is rare in people
under five or over fifty years of age.
It is, therefore, especially desirable
that the school children take the pre
ventative treatment.
Only four cases of typhoid fever
have appeared in Oxford this year.
These cases were all mild. There
have been no deaths and at present
there is not a case in Oxford.
We should remember two things.
First, typhoid fever is called autum
nal fever, which means that it is
most prevalent in the fall of the
year. Second, there is a great deal
of typhoid in the South this year,
many of our neighboring cities suf
fering from severe epidemics. This
is a typhoid year.
It is possible to keep typhoid fever
out of Oxford for the rest of this
year and in all future years. How
By the use of pure drinking water,
clean milk, no flies, sanitary closets,
clean hands on the part of cooks,
bakers, butchers, etc, and the use of
the typhoid vaccination. Let us get
busy.
There have been six cases of ty
phoid fever at the Orphanage this
summer and two deaths. No new
cases have developed there during the
past three weeks.
Two deaths from typhoid fever
have occurred among colored people
in the country near Oxford.
THIS WILL STOP YOUR
D HAIR FROM FALLING
It was Dr. Sangebund who first dis
covered that dandruff and falling
hair were caused by microbes.
And now that Parisian Sage, the
-wonderfully delightful preparation
that kills the dandruff germs can be
secured at all drug and toilet coun
ters, the clean people of this country
have awakened to the fact that. dand
ruff is unnecessary; that falling hair
and itching scalp can be quickly
stopped, and that anyone who fre
quently uses Parisian Sage should
never grow bald.
To every reader who wishes to er
adicate disgusting dandruff, stop
falling hair, and have an immaculate
ly clean scalp free from itchiness, we
strongly recommend Parisian Sage.
Parisian Sage is sold for not more
than 50 cents a large bottle. It is
an ideal, daintily perfumed liquid,
free from grease and stickiness, and
will cause hair' to grow lustrous and
luxuriant. J. G. Hall always has a
large supply and guarantees it to
you. 30-6

Feeding -Ne. 1oik jity
The country has been more or less
alarmed for the past few days on ac
count of the threatened strike of the
four brotherhoods of trainmen. It
would bring a 'tremendous blow to
the whole country, but to the big
cities where such a great population
is housed in such a small space and
all largely dependent upon what the
railroads bring in for their subsis
tence, the blow would be a stagger
ing one.-
Take New York City for instance,
with its four to five million people.
It takes something to feed these
folks. Some idea of what a strike of
the railroad folks would mean to
them is gained when we are remind
ed of what the railroads bring to
them daily in the way of foodstuffs.
Here are some of the things the
trains bring in each day, according to
the New York World:
Seven thousand two hundred tubs
of butter, 3,500 boxes of cheese, 399,
000 dozen eggs, 2,250,000 quarts of
milk.
Meats 3,000 crates of poultry,
three million pounds of fresh beef
pork and mutton. J
Fruits Four thousand barrels of
apples, 60;000 crates of grapes, lem
ons, pears, oranges, peaches, pine
apples and plums.
Vegetables 13,000 barrels of po
tatoes, 6,000 crates of onions, 5,000,
000 cans of peas and tomatoes, 300
carloads of cabbage, lettuce, carrots,
etc. .
Grain and Cereals 46,000 sacks of
barley, 70,000 bushels of corn, 3,000
sacks of corn meal, 3,000 barrels and
21,000 sacks of flour, 6,500 bushels
of malt and 298,000 bushels of
wheat.
Miscellaneous Items 44,000 sacks
of sugar, 1,650 barrels of wine, 60,
000 tons of coal, 1,500,000 gallons of
kerosene, gasoline and benzine,
1000 tubs of lard and 3,000 barrels
of molasses.
The foregoing will show to the
reader something of what it takes to
feed the New Yorkers f or one day.
And the most of this material must
come from outside the city.
