TOO MlTil TYPHOID.
Dtrlng the past month there have
beea an unusual number of cases of
typhoid fever in various sections o
Oklahoma. In one comparatively
small town one hundred persons were
sick at one time, with five deuths in
less than as many days. In some
places in this state the causes for
typhoid are perfectly well known;
there la acarcely any disease which
can ba more surely prevented
Much of the prevalance of typhoid
is In this state and is due to sheei
carelessness and indfference on the
part of communities and has been
phenominal in recent years. This has
resulted in an extremely rapid in
crease in the population of certain
cities and towns. Of course this very
rapid growth has certain dlsadvan
tagea. especially in communities where
the new-comers do not regard them
aelvea as necessarily permanent real
dents. It is difficult to accommodate
the fast-growing population and the
accommodations provided are likely
to be hastily constructed.
None the less it is true that no mat
ter how fast a communiy Is growing
it should afford the effort and mono
necessary to maintain sanitary and
hygienic conditions. There is nothing
more expensive than poor health. The
money spent for pure wate
■upnlies and proper sewer
connections is well expended
The cost orf a chemical trca?
ment which will eliminate most of the
typhoid germs Is small. Where this
is not done and there Is any question
about the purity of the supply, water
should be boiled before using This
involves a certain amount of trouble,
but this ia small compared to the trou-
ble and expense of a typhoid case
even where it does not terminate fa
tally. Persons going to a community
whefre typhoid is prevalent, or where
the water supply or sewage system
doubtful would do well to take the
precautions of typhoid vaccination
This has long since passed beyond the
experimental stage. It has been proven
one of the best precautions agninst the
disease.
"ti ABA BED."
President Wilson has refused t<
sign the bill passed by congros:
which directed the Secretary of the
Interior, with the assistance of flv
scientists, to investgato and report on
a reputed wonderful dscovery of an
energy and a way of applying it that
would revolutionize everything in the
motive power line. The president
has given no reason for lotting the
bill die.
We read with unusual interest tin
news accounts of Mr. Glragossian -
discovery; queer name, that; but no
so odd as the name of the new powet
ho said he had found, "garabed." X«
one knew any more of it than this
that • garabed" was a "free energy
that exlateci everywhere In unlimited
quantity; that it had never been
usod; but Mr. Giragosslan of Boston
had invented a machine that coralled
it; no fuel was required; garabed
would drive engines until they wore
out at speed never imagined before
It could be applied to ships, subma-
rines. airplanes With garabed Amer-
ica could win the war In Just so
muck time as it took to build engines
to use garabed; but it took money.
And so Mr. Giragosslan succeeded in
inducing congress to pass a bill au_
thorlzlng the expenditure of so much
money as was necessary to fix up a
tew engines to demonstrate how it
workod.
Mr. Giaragossian may have found
what ho says he has. This is no at
tempt to discredit him; but the p*-*
ter he uses In describing his inven-
tion recalls that of the once famous
John Erpest Worrell Keely. who for
twenty-fve years kept the world
guessing about his "Keoly motor.'
He, too, claimed to have discovered a
way to "utilize a free energy that
would run any kind of machinery
without fuel or any kind of motive
power that anyone could see. Keely
had a house full of machinery In
Philadelphia. His new natural force
was the result of vibrations. He would
play on a harmonica and when the
right note was struck his ponderous
machine would begin to revolve. He

ANCIENT FESTIVAL IN JAPAN
"Tanabata Matsuri" Celebration Re-
tains Its Popularity In the Country
Districts of the Empire.
Perhaps the most interesting of the
five Important festivals of the Jnpnn-j
ese year, Tanabata Matsuri, Is cele-
brated on July 7. In the bustling cities'1
of Tokyo and Osaka Its observance Is
somewhat out of flavor, but In the
country districts even the word "Tana-
bata" brings heavenly solace to all
minds distressed. It recalls primitive
days when forebears of the present
generation saw deities In stars and a
good spirit In every blade of grass.
Snlto Man. the clever essayist of the
Japnn Advertiser, says of the day:
Tanabata Matsuri Is sometimes
called the 'festival of stars,' but Its
literal and proper significance Is 'the
festival of the weaving girl'—or 'wife's
festival.'
"In the days of the gods there was
beautiful maiden who worked day
In and day out at her tanabata, or
loom. She was a daughter of the heav-
enly goel; none could surpass her In
Industry and modesty. The father mar-
ried her to a handsome cowherd.
Thenceforward the girl left off her
work at the loom and devoted her
whole care to her husband. The father
seeing this got angry and dismissed
her to the eastern bank of the river of
Heaven (Milky Way). Only once a
year, that Is. on the seventh evening
of the seventh moon, Is she allowed to
cross the heavenly river to meet her
husband. If unfortunately rain should
fall, the water would flow over the
banks and make It Impossible for the
weaving girl to cross the river. Hence,
the festival of Tanabatahlme or Weav-
ing Princess. It Is a propitiation of the
gods and goddesses for the sake of
successful meeting of wife and hus-
band.
"It Is a pity that the old custom of
tanabata dancing was prohibited by a
government ordinance issued In 1873.
Up to that time young persons of both
sexes were wont to enjoy open-air
dancing under the starlit sky to the
accompaniment of drum and singing.
The officials returned from Europe snw
signs of crass barbarism In this sort
of thing, and interdicted it."

Returned Missionary Tells of Remark-
able Performance of Religious
Fanatics in India.
Rev. Dr. J. C. R. Ewlng, missionary
to India, who recently returned to the
United States after 38 years in the
country of the rajahs and mahatmas,
was discussing the mlruculous things
■ reported of the Hindu ascetics and
l admitted that he has been obliged to
■ tell of some things which he has seen,
but does not understand. Doctor
Ewlng Raid:
"It Is certainly true that the Hindu
■ innglclans perform some tricks which
j our best sleight-of-hand performers
i are unable to approach. I have seen
some things without being able to ac-
count for them, but I am, neverthe-
less, certain that they are all tricks.
One of the best of these was an exhibi-
tion with cards. The performer
placed a deck of cards upright In a
glass. Then, taking another deck, he
exposed u card and calling "come,
come" several times in his native lan-
guage, the Identical card which he was
exhibiting rose out of the deck in the
glass and stood where It could be seen
by a large audience right on top of the
deck, the performer at the same time
exhibiting the card which he had se-
lected. I believe that this was due to
clever manipulation, though I suppose
some persons would ascribe It to tel-
epathy.
I have seen the trick of making n
plant grow from a seed before the
eyes, and this, too, I believe, Is the re-
sult of manipulation. A curtain Is
placed around the vessel and then re-
moved, and the plant shown expanding
and growing.
"Somewhat more difficult to be skep-
tical about, however, ure the perform-
ances of the Hindu ascetics, and some
of these are possibly the results of
religious fanaticism. I know of the
case of a man who lay 14 years on a
bed of spikes. That Is, he was said
to have lain there 14 years. Eventual-
ly, of course, he died of his sufferings.
I saw the man myself, and there was
no reason to doubt the tales of the
length of time of his torture.
"I know also that the stories of men
going Into a cataleptic state and being
burled are true. The tongue Is pulled
out as far as It can be pulled and
then turned back Into the victim's
throat and he becomes unconscious, all
animation being apparently suspended.
He Is burled, und after remaining In
the ground for a period as long as
three months In some cases, he Is dug
up and resuscitated.
"The theory upon which these tor-
tures are endured Is that our separate
existence Is n mistaken notion and
that only by asceticism Is it possible
to overcome the mistake and realize
unity with all things. The teaching
which has been evolved by the Hindu
ascetics Is very beautiful and very at-
tractive for a certain type of mind,
hut It Is after all nothing but a form
of atheism. The Christian religion Is
spreading rapidly In India, especially
among the lower classes and we have
great difficulty In taking care of the
converts. Among the higher classes it
Is spreading, too. although formal as-
sent to It is slow on account of the
severity of the caste ostracism which
follows conversion. The English gov-
ernment has the country well In hand
and It would seem that the country Is
destined for a very rapid development
both In Christianity and democracy.

Old Emperor Saw Clearly.
In 1875, when France was recover-
lng from the war of 1870-71. the Ger-
man government, or at least the mili-
tary party. It was said, was proposing
to crush her once more. When Delane
became satisfied as to the accuracy ,of
the report, he published, on May fl.
the story. "The effect produced by
the revelation of the German plot was
Instantaneous, universal and pro-
found. Both the Russian emperor
and Queen Victoria appealed to the
German emperor to stay his hanfl.
The German emperor denied the truth
of the queen's allegations, and a sen-
tence In his letter. Is worth recalling
today In the reign of his grandson:
'No one Is more thoroughly convinced
than the writer that he who provokes
a war In Europe will have the whole
of public opinion against him, and will
accordingly have no ally, no neutrale
blenvelllant, but, rather, adversaries.'"
