Entered at the postofflce at Decatur, Indiana, as second-class mall matter. It looks as though Decatur would have a sane Fourth, without any insisting on that feature. Any way (here will be nothing special and from the number planning to attend i the celebrations at Monroe, Marion,, Frankfort, Indianapolis and other ( places, this will be a quiet old hamlet. ] However, young America will likely ( see that enough crackers are fired and enough fingers burned to make it | seem old-fashioned for most of us who will have to remain at home. H. E. Barnard, bead of the water laboratory of the state board of health, is arranging with the local health officers throughout the state for a midsummer crusade against ty-1 phoid fever, on the theory that alert-. ness on the part of the officers and co-operation by the laboratory will operate to lessen the annual epidemic of the disease, which reaches its height In August and September. The most prolific source of typhoid, ’ it bas been shown by the state board of health, is the shallow, open well. It is to this evil that the water laboratory will give particular attention. Instructions sent out to the health officers urge them to get in touch with the conditions accompanying every case of typhoid fever in their respective communities. The history of the patient for the weeks preceding the attack of the disease is to be studied carefully, and the source of typhoid germs is to be traced as nearly as possible, without laboratory work. When the local officer is convinced that the germs came from a well, a spring, or from any other source of water supply, samples of the water will be sent to the state laboratory, and an analysis will be made. Within three days from its receipt, the laboratory will be able to determine if the sample contains baccilli that cause tyhpoid. and in the event of that discovery, the source of the water supply will be condemned, and no person will be permitted to use water from it. The local officers also will be instructed to see that the wastes from typhoid sick rooms are so disposed of that they will not contaminate any water supply source. All sources cm demned will be finally shut up, as the laboratory holds that any well contaminated by the baccilli cannot be cleaned so as to make it safe. Fot t Wayne Journal-Gazette.

RHEUMATISM AND ECZEMA CURED WITH MILLER’S HERB REMEDY. ' > Mrs. Siebold says: “It was while we lived in Fort Wayne that we used your medicine and I am one that can truthfully say that your remedy has done wonders in our family. It cured me of a very bad case of rheumatism. I was treated by a doctor for weeks but his medicine had no effect. I used your remedy and got a complete cure. Our twin daughters had eczema on their faces, hands arms and limbs. We tried different remedies, but nothing seemed to help until we used ycui remedy and In two months they were rid of the disease. Herb remedy is certainly a great blood medicine. We heartily recommend It to the afflicted. We used the medicine about eight years ago and no sign of the disease has returned since.’’—MßS. WIULIAM C. SIEBOLD, 1063 North Wichita St.. Wichita, Kans. For gale at your druggists'*.
