" CHEAPEST LIFE iaiSLRANSE Vaccination Against Tj-phoid jffevw Is The Cheapest Inmrance id. the Worid. ' , . '.V-vV . Bomeone has Raid that the state of man's civilization may be accurately Judged by the foresight he displays. Insurance is an index' to foresight;! it means hiuklng into the future, tile coiiHlderafion of probable risks, ami providing against such risks. North Carolina people, as u rule, be lieve in insurance. Look at the lightning rods, on the homes and even the harm-, lnwjvaitcv against lights- nine. Now there are only ten twelve deaths a year in North Caro lina from lightning, so that an null vidua l's chance of being killed by lightning In North Carolina each year is one Iu two hundred and forty thou- sand. Considering the slight risk and the expense of lightning rod lnsur anoe, the man who uses them is' powerfully strong, believer in insur ance. ' The trouble with our people in the insurance business is their failure to recognize relative values ami risks. Hy that we mean the size of the risk An the one hand, and the amount paid for the insurance on the other hand. To illustrate, let us return to the home with lightning rods; cost $100; risk to life, one In two hundred aud forty thousand a year. The same country has tli most primitive, insanitary, op en bucket closet from which droves of flies curry infections material into the dining room and the kitchen during the whole summer. Cost to make closet sanitary, $10. Now this man's danger is one in 480 of contracting tv phoid fever and one in 4,800 of dying from the disease during the year. If he has, 11 ve members in his family,' the risk Is five times greater, and If he considers the risk of contracting other fecul-liorne diseases, dysentery and diarrhoea of children he must mult I ply the risk again by three. The man has no sense of relative values, the ni mi with the good lightning rod ,uud the bud privy, Typhoid vaccination is the cheapest insurance thut u man can get. It ' cosln him ulwolutely notlilnit, his coun ty and state are paying for it ; in other words he hus paid for it already In paying his taxes. It gives him almost absolute Insurance aguipst typhoid fev- , er, regardless of his surrouudiugSr for f four years and some insurance against (typhoid fever for his whole life time, ' And snppose he 'doesn't tuke it and within the next four years somebody hauls him or hauls his wife or child to the cemetery dead of typhoid fever, a death that be could have prevented easily by vaccination, free vaccination, too. What about the question of moral responsibility? .'Thou shalt not kill.' the first great civil law,, covers both homicide and suicide; Includes killing your neighbor, killing a member- of your family,' or killing yourself by an act of commission, using a gun or a knife or a stick, or au act of omission. criminal carelessness decellnlng to be. vaccinated against typhoid -fever when the opportunity was spresented at your very door.

TALKS OF ARTICLE TEN THOROUGHLY Stenographers Representing the White House and Com mittee Were Present to Take a Report. (By The Associates Press.) Washington. Aug. 10. In a confer ence at the Into House, unprece dented in America s history. President Wilson discussed the petut' treaty with the Senate Foreign Kelatioiis Com mittee answered questions put by Kenutors, and gave out stenographic trunscripts of the pris-eeilings to the public. Home of the inside details of tun peace conference now tlie league or nations covenant was drawn, ami other historic happenings were handed ou; verbatim for flic world to read, in con trast to the time-honored pi-oct-tilm i- of secrecy Presidential and Senatorial 'eoundence." Nothing apiH'oaching the conft'idire in that respect is recalled since eorge Washington went to the Semite to discuss (roubles with the iidiiins. Making u plea for the ratilicatlon of he treaty, that the world may he limed wholly bark to it H'iice basis lie President said he saw no reason- hie objection to the senate expressing ts interpretation of the league of un ions covenant, so long as those inter pretations did not act liu My liecoini' part of the act of ratification. President told foreign relations com mittee at the outset of the conference odiiy he could see "no reasonable ob 'ection" to interpretations us to how he I'uitiil States accepts the league f nations, provided such interpreta tions did not form a part of the for mal ratification itself. If lufernretarions -were part of - the formal ratification, the President con tended, long delays would follow and other governments would have to "uc- pt lu effect the language of tlie scu te as the language of the treaty he- fore ratification would be complete.' Most of the Interpretations, the resident said, seemed to him to sug- gest the "plain meaning of the instru ment itself." The much discussed Article X. the resident told the Senators, was not of doubtful Interpretation when reuil connection with the whole cove- ii lit The council, he said, could ou- udvlse" uuil as Its action must he iiauimous, the titlirmutivc vote of the niteil States would be necessary to ly question affecting it.

The plan for the league of nations- nmilly submitted in runs, the Presi dent suid, hud Im'cii built up first from a plan built np liy the British com mittee headed by Mr. Phillmnre, aud later including ideas from the plan of Oenerol Smuts. From these anil other discussions, conpled with the President's ideas, the league was formed. "That is the whole story of how the plan I sent to the commltee was drawn out." the President stated. The proposed treaty hy which the I'nited States would go to the aid of France in the event of an unprovoked attack by Cermany is not in conflict with the constitution iu the opinion of the Senate Judiciary sub-committee appointed to consider the question. Because of the misunderstanding re garding the stenographic transcript, two teams of . stenographers pro vided by the white house and the com mittee, wqre present to report the con ference. The committee had brought with it some of the men who for years hud reported House and Senate proceed ings, but the arrangement by which newspaicrs would huvc to pay for the committee's transcript, caused white house officials to provide for trans cripts of its own which was given to the press without charge.
