FEVER
Btrarces of This DariRcrons nnd Pro
tracted Disease
-
Although--there is always more or
less typhoid fever in most of the larger
Citievoflthis country the late summer
and autumn are the seasons when it Is
most to be feared
tThe disease is not so formidable as
regards the mortality as some others
but its great Jength and the evil conse
quences which Sometimes follow It in
the form of weak heart weak spine or
nervous disorders make it quite as se
rious assomeyhich are more fatal but
far less protracted
t Unless bnej knows how the disease is
usually spread one cannot hope to
avoid it and so It may be useful to
consider in what ways the germs of
the malady find their way into the sys
tem
Water is the usual vehicle for ty
phoid germs as Is well known and
probably all great outbreaks of the dis
ease in cities are due to an infected
water supply This has been strikingly
shown in Philadelphia where some
parts of the city are supplied with fil
tered water and others with unfiltered
or mixed water Comparing two parts
of the city in which the conditions ex
cept as to water supply are almost the
same it was found that In the one sup
plied with filtered water the occurrence
rate of typhoid fever was one in five
thousand while in the others in which
the unfiltered water was drunk it was
one in sixteen hundred
But a city with an ideal water sup
ply may be scourged with typhoid
fever although less severely through
the medium of impure ice and it is al
most as Important to know where the
ice is cut or with what water it is
made if artificial as where the city
r water comes from Not loner since a
number of officers on one of the United
States ships in the Mediterranean
squadron were taken down with ty
phoid fever When the source of the
infection was traced it was found to be
some ice bought at Athens the ice ma
chine on shipboard having broken
down
Another source of infection is found
in oysters that have been fattened in
streams contaminated with sewage
Not only has typhoid followed the eat
ing of these fish but the typhoid bacilli
have been found in the stomachs of the
oysters
Raw vegetables used for salads may
have been grown in soil contaminated
with slops used as fertilizers or may
have been washed in infected water
Unless a water supply Is above sus
picion all that used for drinking tooth
cleaning and in the kitchen should be
boiled and the drinking water cooled
by putting vessels containing it on the
ice not by putting Ice in the water it
self
Finally great care should be taken
to screen all food from flies for if
there is a case of typhoid fever in the
neighborhood flies may become most
active distributers of the poison

THE PARLOR
It Ih Rapidly llecojniiit an Apartment
of the Past
The American parlor is a thng of tha
past according to architects says the
Cleveland Plain Iealer No more will
there be a room reserved for state oc
casions such as the receiving of form
al calls the visit of the minister and
for weddings and for funerals
We never take the parlor into con
sideration any more said u Cleveland
architect recently The parlor is
merged into the living room The good
old fashioned parlor- which was- held
in so much reverence in the old days
has no place in modern architecture
The demand is for a larga -living
room In a small house together with a
dining room and kitchen In a larger
house there is usually a large Jiving
room library den dining room and
kitchen
I had a client yesterday who desired
to have a reception room or parlor not
connected with the living room He
decided later to have a sort of recep
tion room in connection with the hall
way
When the parlor idea began to lose
ground we did not make a radical
change but reduced the parlor to a
small reception room isolated from the
others where formal calls could be re
ceived Now we make no provision
for the parlor
In these days the reception rooms
do not have to be closed only to be
opened on the occasion of the visit of
the family minister or the physician
There may be many who will regret
the passing of the old fashioned coun
try parlor with all its memories of
ltors courtship and occasions which
left Impressions which have not been
eradicated by the strenuous age of to
day
TRIAL BY ORDEAL
The Queer Sywtem That Exit In the
Sinai Peninsula
In the Sinai peninsula trial by ordeal
is still practiced In all criminal cases
where no witnesses ara forthcoming
the judge el mabashaa tests the
suspected person by flre by water or
by dream In the first the judge places
an iron pan In the fire until it is redhot
and gives it to the accused to touch
three times with his tongue If marks
of burning are shown on the tongue
the accused is pronounced guilty The
theory apparently is that if he is not
guilty the moisture on the tongue pre
vents it from being burnt if guilty Ids
tongue would dry up from fear of be
ing discovered
The test by water Is described as fol
lows The mabashaa sits with the
accused and the spectators in a circle
with a copper jug full of water placed
In the center This jug Is then made
to appear to move round the circle by
means of witchcraft or hypnotism If
the jug returns back to the judge the
accused is pronounced not guilty but
if the jug Btops opposite the accused
he is pronounced guilty
This description is rather wanting In
detail and it is difficult to know how
a jug which only appears to move can
be a trustworthy index In the test by
dream the mabashaa sleeps and sees
in a dream if the accused is guilty or
not Chicago News
