Every
Nieee and Nephew
of Uncle Sam
should be deeply interested in what he has said about soda
crackers because they are the one food with which all of
them are familiar
Uncle Sam has given out figures showing that soda
crackers are richer in nutriment and body building elements
properly proportioned than any food made from flour
This is saying much for common soda crackers and
much more for Uneeda BlSCllit because they are
soda crackers of the best quality They are baked bettei
more scientifically They are packed bettei more cleanly
The damp dust and odor proof package retains all tne good
ness and nutriment of the wheat all the freshness of the best
baking all the purity of the cleanest bakeries
Your Uncle Sam has shown what food he thinks best
for his people His people have shown that they think
Uneeda BfSCUit the best of that food nearly
400000000 packages having already been consumed

Sherlock Holmes Jr
The Amateur Detective
A exclaimed Sherlock Holmes
Jr as lie clutched his compan
ions qtol campeHiug him to
top and taKe irotico
What is it Sherlock the doctor
asked Yes I see the tall middle
aged man with the do 3ou mean the
one with the panaina hat tipped down
over his eyes Yes yes I see that he
has his hands in his pockets What
about him
Hist Hist a few times my dear
Whatson See he has stopped to watch
the workmen on that new building
You may have noticed that he wears a
last years coat
You certainly are a wonder nolmes
How do you know it is a last years
coat It looks new to me
That is because you still have much
to learn in the deducing line Cant
you see that the slit in the back is only
four inches long The slit must be at
least eight inches long in the stylish
coat of the present season
But what has all tha to do with the
case Who is he What has he done
Ah ah he is a government meat in
spector
No Whatson youre wrong there
He isnt a meat inspector That is evi
dent because he is not being inter
viewed by a reporter or having his pic
ture taken while in the act of inspect
ing a staring of sausages Look Ho
has taken his hat off and isscratching
his head
But any man might do that I dont
see what there is to deduce from such
an act
Ah my dear Whatson I sometimes
almost despair of you How if he had
not done that could we have known
that he was not bald headed
True True Curses on my stupid
ity But I will learn yet Holmes I
swear it
Leaving the doctor half stupefied the
great amateur detective approached a
fruit stand near by and helped himself
to a red apple Chicago
Something In a Name
I haM in my employ a young lady
related the physician whose devotion
to my interests was remarkable She
had charge of the reception room and
made waiting patients feel comfortable
and at ease
One day she announced that Mr
Smith was In the reception room
Which Smith I inquired impa
tiently
Why Smith the paper man
I told the girl that I appreciated the
manner in which she had made known
to me the identity of this particular
Smith who was a prominent publisher
The girl was pleased
Some weeks later she entered my
office and announced that Mr Bell
would see me
Which Bell I asked as there were
several among my patients
Why Bell the wooden man she
answered emphatically
I held my finger warningly peeped
through the door and there sat Mr
Bell the millionaire lumberman

TYPHOID FEVER
Sources of This Dnnpreronn and Pro
tracted Dixcuhc
Although there is always more or
less typhoid fever in most of the larger
eites of this country the late summer
and aaitifiun ar e the seasons wteeti It is
most to be feared
The disease is not so formidable as
regards the mortality as some others
but its great length 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 as some which are more fatal but
far less protracted
Unless one 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
water comes from Not long 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 ease of typhoid fever in the
neighborhood flies may become most
active distributers of the poison
