We may consider these fac tors in importance as enumerated. The parrier problem in typhoid fe ver has not i-eoeived the consideration J TDMY^ Io« PROSPERITY My friend, James F, Faber, city ed itor of the Valley Herald, published at Chaska, Minnesota, sends me a mem- that its^ impoj'tancp as a causative ' oi'andum of the claim of that thriving means deserves.

So much has her case been h • town never had a bank failure, quoted that we are prone to believe Here are no native.s on the poor list, that she is the original and only ty- '•nd the city is providing a good liv- phoid carrier.

A carrier may spread typhoid germs by handling the food that we cat. Flies m¥y spirad typhoid germs from the patient’s or carrier’^ excreta to food. Well water rs often contami nated fiom excreta. Hygiene and.sanitation will do more to prevent typh(^ fever than any SAVINGS There is more money in the savings banks of the L’nited State.s than evert befoi*e in our national history.

Typhoid immunization with typhoid bacterin serv’es as a safety check against contracting typhoid fever af ter all other precautions that have been mentioned, have been observed. Typhoid bacterin will materially re duce the number of cases by produc ing an aiiificial immunity, lasting to hapjien in the future. .Fust as soon as condition.s seem to be stabilized there will he plenty of funds available for inve.stment in promising enier- lirises. CREDIT Taking the country a.s a whole, the banks are full of money, but it is about two and one-half yeans. It is AnJ^^^^der than ever for the avei-age per- excelient control method when an epi demic is threatened. Typhoid fever may be banished by the intelligent co operation of the public in observing simple precautionary rules. The question is often asked, “Who should take typhoid bacterin, why should it be taken and when?” Every one who is exposed to typhoid fever is certainly in need of typhoid bac terin. All who care for the typhoid patient, the nurse and any other aU tendants. Whenever there is doubt as son to borrow money from the banks. The reason for this is very clear.
