VACCINATE TO
CHECK TYPHOID
MILITARY AUTHORITrES DECIDE
THAT AMERICAN TROOPS CAN
BE IMMUNE FROM DISEASE
AND SEEK VOLUNTEERS.
(Associated Press.)
Washington, D. C, Feb. s.—lm
munization against typhoid in army
camps by vaccination is to be under
taken by the military authorities.
The whole matter is to be frankly
put before the army, and individuals
are to be invited to volunteer for vac
cination. No soldier or officer will be
compelled to submit to anti-typhoid
vaccination against his will, but an
effort will be made by lectures and
examples to show the soldier the ad
vantage of availing himself of such
a simple and easy way of escaping
one of the worst and most dreaded of
army camp diseases. These meas
ures are to be taken as a result of
the recommendations of the board of

eminent physicians appointed to con
sider measures for preventing typhoid
fever in army camps. It was named
at the instance of Brigadier-General
General R. M. O'Reilly, then surgeon
general of the army, and included in
its membership were Drs. V. C.
Vaughan of Ann Arbor, William T.
Councilman of Boston, John H. Mus
ser of Philadelphia, Alexander Lam
bert of New York, Simon Flexner of
New York, and William S. Thayer of
Baltimore.
A summary of the board's conclu
sions was made public today. The
board points out the well known fact
that both during the civil and th«
Spanish-American wars typhoid fever
prevailed to a great extent among
the troops, especially among the
younger men in regiments recently re
cruited. Old soldiers were not of
ten affected, and as regiments leared
how to take care of themselves the
disease tended to diminish.
In times of peace when the army is
stationed at its various garrison posts
throughout the country, the report
says there is less than half as much
typhoid among soldiers as is found
among that part of the civil popula
tion of military age. But, unfor
tunately, the moment the troops go
into camps, and large numbers of
new and untrained men are recruited

and mobilized the conditions change
for the worse.
It has long been recognized, says
the report, that a person who has
once had the typhoid is practically in
sured against a second attack, and
the medical profession has now found
in anti-typhoid vaccination a simple
and harmless way of artificially in
ducing almost this same amount of
protection. In the last few years
15,000 men have been treated in this
way with excellent effect and without
a single untoward result.
Back to Business Again.
Q. C. Calentine has about re

Apples High in New Hampshire.
Mrs. W. H. Moody received a paper
this week from her old home in
New Hampshire, in which it states
that apples were selling there for
$5.50 per barrel. This means that
the eastern apples were selling for
that price. No good western apples
were available at all. What were
being sold were worse than the culls
here. Any old apple would sell for
10 cents apiece in the fruit stands.

AUTHOR OF JAPAN
ESE LEGISLATION
LITTLE, OLD, WRINKLED GROVE
L. JOHNSON IS THE MAN WHO
IS WORRYING PRESIDENT.
(Associated Press.)
Sacramento, Cal., Feb. 6. —At the
bottom of all the new worries of the
diplomats at Washngton, from the
president down, who have labored so
long and so energetically to put and
keep Japan in a good humor, at the
bottom of all the latest war talk
that is be ng heard from the Pacific
border to the national capital, is a
little, white haired, wrinkled old
man.
He is Grove L. Johnson, member
from this district in the assembly of
the California legislature, now in
session.
Johnson for thirty-two years has
been a unique figure in California
politics. Since he first made his ap
pearance among California's lawmak
ers back In 1877, his career has been
punctuated with bitter attacks based
on charges embodying nearly every
variety of political villainy on the
calendar. He has been commonly re
ferred to as a tool of William F.
Herrin's Southern Pacific machine,
the same one that has had California
by the throat for years through its
control of the republican party, the
same one that is now fighting desper
ately to keep race track gambling
alive in the state.
That his reputation as a politician
is none too savory does not worry
this little old man, now past his sev
entieth year. He is a politician of
the simon pure variety and does not
deny it. Whether or not he is all
that his enemies say he is, there is
not the shadow of doubt that in one
thing, at least, he is thoroughly, bit
terly sincere.
He makfs no secret of the fact and
is relentless in his efforts to make
his hatred bear fruit through the
only instrument at his command, the
California egislature.
Johnson has something closely akin
to a mania for initiating legislation.
During his political career he has
ifed something over 300 bills into the
'California egislative hopper. In re
cent years many of these have been
directed against his pet antipathy,
the Japanese.
When the present session opened
the veteran assemblyman was on
hand with his usual bundle. Th?
wheels of the legislature had hardly
been set in motion before Johnson
had directed these attacks against
the Nipponese. One was designed to
tear open the old sore of segrega
tion of Japanese and white children
in public schools. The second would
give municipalities the right to se
gregate the Japanese portions of their
population and force the Japs to re
side in a specified and restricted quar
ter. The third would take from the
Japanese the right to serve as a di
rector of a corporation.
That was all. But the bare fact
of the introducing of these bills into
the California legislature has quick
ened the heart of the nation.
For back of Johnson, back of hi?
bills, is the hatred of California, and
particularly of San Francisco, to
ward the Japs and all things Japan
ese. The school trouble is not for
gotten. The labor unions are wait
ing with grim patience "the invasion
of an ever widening variety of tra !«w
by yellow-skinned workmen and ar
tisans.
A strong Japanese exclusion
league is at work day and night.
The sentiment of '"War is inevitable;
let's have it ever with," is more gen
eral among the lawmakers than Gov
ernor Gillett is willing to admit.
Besides Johnson there are 90 of
the 120 members of the legislature
who have openely declared their de
termination In this matter.
A New Launch for Wenatchee Lake.
Rush Huston, of Telma. stopped
here today and ordered a car to
Ephrata to ship a launch from Soap
Lake to Leavenworth. The launch
will be taken from there to Wenat
chee lake by train. The people of
the lake are preparing in time to
take care of those who go there for
an outing next summer.
STORIES ABOUT PEOPLE.
Too Bright for the Englishman.
At a dinner during the recent Epis
copal convention in Richmond a
young lady sitting near the Bishop
of London said to him:
"Bishop, I wish you would set my
mind at rest as to the similarity or
dissimilarity between your country
and ours on one point. Does the but
terfly because the tomato can?"
The Bishop laughed heartily at this
■vivacious sally.
Not so a young Englishman of his
party, who, after dinner, sought his
host.
"I want to know, you know," said
he. "about the joke of Miss B." She
asked if butter could fly because to
matoes could. Pray tell me what the
point is?" —Baltimore Star.
Times Had Changed.
Several years ago Lord Clonmel
brought to this country a string of
race horses and at the close of the
season Phil Dwyer gave a banquet In
! his honor. Sheriff Tom Dunn of New
York was called upon for a speech.
Faith and this is the wonderful
country!" said Dunn. "I was a poor
Irish lad and me dear old mother.

Then the Joke Was on John.
An Englisman and a colonel of the
United States Army were present at
a Fourth of July celebration. The
band began playing "Yankee Dot*-
idle!" and the Englishman asked* "Is
| that the tune the old cow died of?"
'Oh no: not at all." replied :he
colonel. "That is the Tune the old
'bull died of." —Pittsburg Chronicle-
