Hf A HON. Tho Unitrd States 1'uhllc Health (Service hu? iHHuod a bullotln calling attention to tn? dang?r ff typhoid t ver in the ?ummer und fall. Thin ls the limo when tho disease flourishes particularly, and therefore u good Hmo to point out thc fact that lt is a totally unnecessary and Inexcusable ailment. The ..'00,000 people in Ute l i.it'?I lutes who contract typhoid every year and the 18,000 who die of it are paying Ute penalty of careless ness or Ignorance. Ehrcry family ought to know the nature of this diseuse and tho best safeguards against ll. The warning of the Health Service ls a sermon on cleanliness. "Typhoid fever is a disease of tilth," ls says, "lt can only bo contracted by taking Into tho system tho wustc products of one previously ill of tho disease These waste products aro conveyed from ono Individual to an other usually by means of a third ob ject, such us water, liles or milk. Even if tito disease Itself wero never con tracted In tills mininer, wc should re volt at thc abhorrent iden of such un cleanliness. "For every case of thc infection developing, some one, either the mun cipality or the individual, has been responsible, and public opinion will soon regard such carelessness as criminal." Flics aro recognized as the chief carriers of typhoid genna, and relent less war aguinst flloB ls perhaps tho moBt satisfactory of tho preventivo measures. Along with that, however, ,1t ls necessary to see to tho purity of the water and milk supply. It ls possible now to inoculate peo ple agr.Inst typhoid just as they aro mndo immune from smallpox by vac cination. The method has boen prov ed eminently effective in tho United States army mid in tho foreign armies now righting under necessarily un hygienic conditions? 'Most persons, however, would much rather Insure their immunity by ca'.'.ng no polluted food than by destroying through In oculation tho evil effects fo filth taken into tho system. The Public Health Service properly urges that "tho eradication of filth is thc duty of every citizen." and that euch should soo that his own sur roundings aro clean, and that ? his household buys no food from dealers who disregard tho rules of cleanli ness. FORO Va f ABrtEUIE. Hen: y Ford, the au tome/', ile man, has added $0,000,000 to his original fund or $1,000,000, making a "war chest" for peace purposes equal to that established by Andrew Carnegie. The inevitable comparison bringe out a contrast In tho present attitudes of tho two men. With same sincere desire to seo peace in the world, thoir methods aro very different Mr. Car negie has labored and spent money only In bohnlf of a general Interna tional campaign of education. Ho has never made serious efforts to mould the military or diplomatic policy of our government. At present, he ls said to favor defensive preparedness. Mr. Ford's activity seems Intended to bring special pressure to bear on tho American people at tho present timo, to dissuade them from sanctioning a policy of more effective armament Nobody, of course, Questions Mr. Ford's motives. Many, however, may question tho wisdom of his plan. Just now, tho majority ot our people seem agreed thst Hie army and navy must be strengthened and a broad and def inite program of national defense adopted. It is felt that safety Hes In Oils direction, and that our people and government can be trusted to use adequate war establishments purely for defensive purposes, Instead ot let ting military preparation "betray us Into war. Mr. Ford's campaign ia likely to prove unpopular If lt la ? directed to the purpose of preventing any steps toward preparedness la the next con grot's. If he merely conon ce bia ef forts,'however, to fighting the frenzied lingoes who want ail army and navy of vast proportions and enormous cost, ho will perform a useful service I}/ helping to hold congress to a mod arata and rational policy. Tl'HKEY WAISTS HELP, . It ls reported that tho sultan of Turkey has made a vigorous com plaint to the German ambassador, de llar Jug that Turkey baa been "aban doned by In r allies, bereft of muni lions and money, while ' sustaining single-handed the unequal struggle in ! tho Dardanelles and tho Caucasus." I The story may. ot course, '.ie ai fabrication. Nevertheless, it eada at tention to the serious plight in which Turkey finds herself, and doubtless represents Hie popular feeling among :he Turks. The Turkish people did not want war. They realise that they were dragged by Germany into a tremen- . OOHS struggle which may eud in their ( destruction. It ha? doubtless dawned on tlie nation that thc war ran serve only promote the alms of Germany and Austria, and of tho Young Turk leaders whose own ambitions have j lead them to league their country! with the Ton ton ie powers. Germany und Austria undoubtedly | j mount to give Turkey more help. And ; If valiant fighting ever deserved sup port, tho Turks deserve it. Both In-J tercr.t and honor bind tho Germans to couiv.? now lo Turkey's aid. Tiley have tried to do so by means j of diplomacy. But dipomacy has not yet won passage through Roumanie for munitions destined for Constanti nople. Diplomacy lias not yet Insured the neutrality of Bulgaria and Greece, 'bongil lt hus thus far checked their Inclination toward a Jm.ction with the I Allies. If Germany and Austria are to give Turkey any reul lio?p in her hour of need, they will first have to make a road to Constantinople. And that means driving through southern Rus sia or piercing the Balkans with an invading column. The next Connan effort baa seemed destined for that theatre of war. It was the logical move, to follow tho German drive In Russia. But now tho Allies are beginning to batte- thc German Uno in the west and tbe Austrian Uno fronting Italy doubtless to counteract just such a! manoeuvre. So thc Turk is likely to be left alone to light his own battle, and to lose inevitably unless the Cen tral rowers can hold the British, French and Italians and simultan eously duplicate their Russian success ia the Balkans. ADVERTISING HEALTH. Printer';', ink should be included In tho pharmacopeia," said a spoakor at the convention of the Public Health Association in Now York. "Wisely ut-d, it prevents tuberculosis and builds hospitals to euro lt Thousands of babies are saved every year by its educational force. It IB the only uni versal agency for the treatment of diseases in thc community at large. Yeti may cure tho individual In the sickroom; you must treat the com munity through the newspapers." He wanted to know whether there is any good reason why a city or state should not ndvertlso Its health work and poy for lt, just as mer chandise 1B advertised. Of course, he admitted, "as soon aa you bpgin to usc print for any pub lic or educational purpose, your op ponents will dub you an 'agitator.'^ But It's a good thing to be. Every ? f advertiser is an agitator, whether he agitates the public mind in favor of pickles or public health. Don't let the term bother you. lt's really a com pliment. Use printers Ink in large quantities, and don't bo afraid to pay for lt." No layman will question the sound sense of this adaicc. One of the chief reasons why mankind has been so long In bringing curable or preven ible dise?aos under control has been tho lack of publicity. Tho medical art haa always been treated as a mys tory. Even with its present ad mirable development it ls still ham pered by the well-meant secrecy im posed by "professional ethics." The trend however, ls more And moro . o ward trunk and full communi cation of all the useful knowledge pos.sea-.ed by the doctors and com prehensible by tho genoral public. But much moro might be done. And lt ls hard to imagine any moro valu able or legitimate public service than might bo rendered by public authori ties, in co-operation with the medical profession, publishing reliable health Information as a matter of public policy and, if necessary, at public er pense. A LINE? o' D O P E I Local cotton market closed 10 eos ia yesterday. o Tho above not only looks good to the farmers but to ove ry ono else aa well.
