TYPHOID VACCINATION.
Much Interest in New Dis-
covery that May Lead to
Disease's Destruction.
Two weeks ago the Leader
carried a dipping from an ex-
change which stated that typhoid
wag now under the hand of med-
ical science, as the disease could
be prevented by vaccination.
The Altus Times got hold of the
article somewhere and handed it
to a local physician, asking his
opinion as to the possibility of
the discovery. The following
unsigned article, which is bound
to be of interest to both the med-
ical and laity world, was sent to
the Times:
"Your letter of request for in-
formation relating to the army
report on vaccination for preven-
tion of typhoid fever received.
The article, an abstract of which
you enclose, is accurate. The
principle, a brief explanation of
which I will try to make to you,
is one of the modern classics in
medicine.
"The typhoid bacillus while ac-
tive in the blood of the patient
excretes a poison. If the tenden-
cy be toward recovery, and it
usually is, there is automatically
produced in the body of the pa-
tient an anti-body or antitoxin.
This antitoxin, the production of
which has been stimulated in the
body of the patient by the pres-
ence of the toxin, is nature's de-
fense against the disease. It
would be unwise, even were it
possible, to destroy all the ty-
phoid bacilli in a given typhoid
infection within a period or twen-
i ty-four hours; because in such a
case enough typhoid poison would
< be set free from the dead bodies
I 1 of the bacilli to kill a dozen
I strongmen. This is why typhoid
[ * fever is popularly known as
1 "slow" fever. It runs a course
s of from twenty to thirty days in
F . this latitude, slowly elaborating
fc the toxin to be met as surely and
f as constantly by the antitoxin
stimulated in the body of the
l! patient. By the time the sub-
ject of the typhoid infection has
w recovered from the disease, he
I w has become immune to further
di infection from the typhoid bacil-
fc lus. This immunity, conferred
I lo, by the infection itself, continues
from one year to thirty or forty
years. More than two attacks
of typhoid fever in a lifetime are
rare. Scientific investigators
having recognized this principle,
conceived the plan of producing
and insolating the typhotoxin
outside the body, using the dead
cultures of bacilli for this pur-
pose. Having determined the
dose safe to administer, the tox
thr ins derived from one billion to
thi; four billion bacilli, an injection
twi of the toxin is made under the
skin of the patient. The effect
k-1 is identical with that of the dose
li_ the poor fellow gets when he ex
® periences his first headache and
backache of the real disease.
The difference is that in the gen-
uine infection it is a continuous
performance, the dose being re-
peated every day for twenty or
thirty days, while in the case of
the vaccination the repetition of
the dose is under his control.
Perhaps if the immunizing doses
ware repeated daily for thirty
days the patient would acquire
the same period of immunity to
the disease as if he were to have
the disease itself. However, by
means of the one injection he ac-
quires immunity for not more
than a few months, and often
for not more than one month.
"The success attained from the
use of the vaccines in the army
is explained from the fact that
military discipline is an entity,
rather than one of those weird
dreams that the city and county
health officers have while deal-
ing with health problems. The
doctor armed with a bayonet
cleared Cuba of yellow fever and
malaria, and he is now digging
the Panama Canal. These prob-
lems have been solved as accur-
ately as any in mathematics.
Preventive medicine is rapidly
becoming an exact science."
The Electric Light Plant.
We learn from the city officials
] t'.iit the electric light plant is
coining right along. The bill of
lading for the tardy dynamo has
at last arrived. It is well known
that the boiler is here and in po-
sition-waiting for the engine,
which seems like the White Man's
Hope to trim Jack Johnson-just
can't come. But it will be along
in the next week or to, as the
manufactures accepted the order
on July 7th, to be delivered in
thirty-five days. A little matter
of being off over 100 per cent as
to when goods have been promis
Church Entertainment.
The Home Mission Society of
the Methodist church had charge
at the night hour last Sunday
night at the above church. The
ladies gave a very nice entertain- LU wuen gUUUa wave uw..
ment, which abounded in essays, ed will not hurt the consciences
'of those fellows who say they
are making that engine. Oh, no!
Not at all! It is barely possible
that the gasoline engine now
pumping water at the station
could do the electric dance till
the arrival of the steamer. We
have seen them rigged up and
made to do good work. If that
gasoline engine cannot run that
light plant, it can take it an aw
ful fast walk.
The wiring goes right on.
Many of the stores are being wir-
ed, while a large number of the
residences are ready for the cur-
rent.
In many cases where the tele-
phone and electric light wires
corner, the phone company is us-
ing the nice poles of the electric
light people, the city. In this
way the electric light people get
good positions and not so much
room is taken up by either set of
poles.

readings and songs. Some of
the songs were very good, while
some of the readings and essays
were extra good. There was a
large crowd present and all en-
joyed themselves very rhuch.
Child Saves Own Life.
Boswell, N. M., Sept. 24.—
Clark Dilley, Jr., five years old,
saved his own life when his
clothes caught fire from a lamp
by going to a hydrant in the yard,
lying down under the opening
and turning on the faucet. The
lad's body was blistered, but he
was not dangerously burned.

She made the journey alone.
Have you read the ad about
the Leader and Wichita Eagle,
Dallas News, etc., in this paper?
If not, why not? You may be
losing money by not looking up
that ad and reading it.
Miss Bertha McLaughlin has
returned from Illinois, where
she spent the summer with home
folks. She is again with J. K.
Ramsey's store, in the dress
goods department.
J. J. Roberts, of Hobart, route
five, was here Saturday and he
took the Leader and the Weekly
Wichita Eagle for one year at $1.
That is a mighty good combina-
tion.
There have been quite a num-
ber of people here from other
towns this week, in their autos.
More and finer autos seems the
rage.
J. T. Davis, route 2, Dill City,
phones us that he wants the
Leader for a while. The paper

day. He has been taking out
some more of the Leader job
work.

Time was when you could not get
anything in the paint line to suit
you. You were at the mercy of poor
paints when it came to touching up
your furniture. We have solved
the problem. Hughes' enamel house

An Arbitrary Shortage.
Comes later reports—and there-
fore more reliable—indicating
that it is not shortage of crops
that has caused shortage in sugar
production, but the curtailment
of production by the refineries in
order to raise the price. That is
why in two American cities wide
ly separated, housewives are or-
ganizing to do without sugar as
much as possible. That is what
the women of Cincinnati and
Houston are doing, and their ex-
ample is likely to be followed in
other cities. —Oklahoman.

to a life term on the state farm,

experience yesterday of Lawson
Davis, a negro, who recently as-

Furr, of this county. Immedi-
ately after sentence was passed
the officers hurried the prisoner
off for the state farm bofore any
one outside of the court circles
knew what was going on. Davis
pleaded guilty.
