ARMY PROVES EFFICACY
Distribution Is Ordered Made Through
Antitoxen Agent of the State
in Every County.
SprinjsflelJ. 111.. April 6. Vaccina
tion against typhoid fever has been in
dorsed by the state board of health,
which will furnsh the vaccine free of
charge.
The distribution Is being made
through the antitoxin agent of the
board In every county eat and the
ten agents in Took county. It can be
obtained by anv physician upon the
delivery to the ant of a recetpt stat
in to whom it is to be administered.
Kast treatment consists of three dowes
at Intervals of t-n days, the firt dose
containing 5uO.0DO.ttOO killed bacteria
and the ther l.ooo.ooo each. Each
dose is put up in a glass syringe with
a sterilised needle.
Its efficiency in illustrated by the
manner in which It has exterminated
typhoid fever from the I'nited States
army. There was not a single typhoid
case either in the United States army
or the insular forces in 1913.
In 1&09 thre were 173 case In the
army, with sixteen dt-aths: In 1910. US
'cares with ten deaths; in 1911 sixty
nine cases with nine deaths; In 1912,
twenty-seven cases with four deaths.
The successful use of vaccine has
: been demonstrated also by the French
military authorities.
In 1911 there were $33 and in 1912
. 774 deaths from typhoid fever In 1111
. nois. There Is no reason to believe
' that, with the same general use of
vaccine, and the observance of essen-
tial sanitary measures, the ratio of de
crease of cases in the state will not be
the same as reported In the I'nited
States and French armies.
"While Impure water Is often the
-ause of an outbreak of typhoid fever,
contaminated foods are also a cause."
says a statement issued by the board
of health.

his love for me and how- he would
always care for me if I would marry
him. I was only fifteen years old
and was In Young's Female college,

Can any moral uplift ever be really accomplished that does not embrace a doing away with the root of
the evil? There can be no question but that this must be answered in the negative. The individual must be
educated to realize that abstinence from the evil is for his own personal good, in order that the moral uplift
be genuine. This the local option law does not do. Government statistics show that in spite of the nation
wide support of local option, there is more wine, liquor and beer consumed'than ever before.
So long as a person can acquire the appetite, just so long'will he satisfy that craving and if he can't do it
lawfully, the chances are largely in favor of his finding a way to circumvent the law. Then is the moment
that that person's moral self begins to go downward. He soon makes himself believe that the laws are not
for him to obey and as a consequence his whole aspect of right living has been changed.
When we allow such a state of mind to grow in Rock Island we are starting backward, for disregard for
one law means disregard for all laws, if they do not please us. In order that this great county of ours shall
prosper, we must feel that our laws were made for us personally and that it is our duty to obey them.
