AL uton-Salem, N. C. Copyright 1916 bj 1 FIND 35 TYPHOID "CARRIERS* ! New York Takes Important Steps to Safeguard the Health of Its Citizens. . There are 35 chronic typhoid "earriers" in New York city, the hetftfe department announces, and the list Is constantly growing, the New York Herald states. These "carriers" spread the disease wherever they are employed without themselves being subject to its ravages. The board of health has placed them on the list of "danger spots." The present methods have grown out of the lessons learned through tracing the career of "Typhoid Mary" who attained national celebrity a few years ago when several epidemics of typhoid were directly traced back to the positions In which she had been employed as a cook. She was a good cook and never was long without work, but after the experts found out that the dread typhoid followed all of her en1 gagements they decided she must be * restrained for the safety of the city. ! She finally was allowed at large unJ der the terms of a parole under which j she promised never again to accept a t position where she might handle food 3 Intended for human consumption. A l rediscovery of "Typhoid Mary" came j nhout under tragic circumstances. She had broken her parole and accepted a position as cook In the Sloane Ma5 ternlty hospital, and within the accepted period of incubation of that dlsr ease there appeared 24 cases of tyt phold among the physicians, nurses I and patients in that institution, i "Typhoid Mary" was taken In charge I again' by the department of health and she Is now, after two attempts In court to obtain her release, a patient > in a hospital on North Brother island, where she Is likely to pass the rej malnder of her days. !' WOLF SKINS NOW VALUABLE ; : War Has Jumped Price of Pelts From One to Eight Dollars Each. , How the great war across the seas could make the price of wolf and coyote skins go soaring no one here seems to know. It is a fact, nevertheless, that pelts of these animals are r now selling for more than an average 1 sheep will bring, and every quotation il shows a rise in their market value. The explanation is offered by buyers s that the soldiers in the English and . French armies are to be clothed in the I furs of wolves and coyotes during the f coming winter, but it is thought this story has little foundation. Some new v use has caused prices to go bounding upward. The chief demand comes t from abroad. | The price of a coyote pelt has in - creased during the last few montns from $1 to $8. Wolf skins of the lobo r species sell for even higher prices. It Is such a profitable business professional trappers are flocking Into this part of Texas In great numbers. '' | Cattlemen and sheepmen suffer anI nual losses amounting In the aggreL? gate to several hundred thousand dol> , lars from the depredations of wolves j and coyotes upon their herds and y1 flocks. The present activity In extere mlnatlng the anlmuls Is very gratifying to these live stock Interests. Glad to Get Rid of It.
