No' single measure in reducing typhoid oh a large scale approaches the effect of substituting a safe for a polluted water supply."

The speakers did not quib- ble aWt the fact that next to in- suring the man, it was necessary to the success of the insurance financier to keep, the insured from dying. Of great interest to city folk was the address ot Dr. Allan J. McLaugh- lin of the United States public health service, Washington, D. C. Dr. Mc- Laughlin made the point that a cam- paign of education concerning ty- phoid would save 16,200 lives in this country annually. He estimated the economic loss from typhoid deaths at $100,000,000 a year. America lagged far behind Europe in coping with this disease, he said.. The typhoid 4eath rate there and here he illustrated by a eomparison of cities, as, for example: Edinburgh, 1.3 per 100,000; Berlin, 2; London, 3.3? Paris, 5.6; tfew York, U.6; Chi- cago, 13.7; Philadelphia, 17.5; Wash- ington, 23.2, and Mlnneapolte, 68.7. "In 1909 there Were more cases of typhoid in the United fiftatea than there were cases of plague In India, â- Jthouah India has two and a^half times the popufation,M conttauea the speaker.

Qolleited for Salvation Army. All this summer Walsh has been living at Hope Hall, the Salvation Army home near Rosehill, and has been driving a delivery wagon about Evanston collecting old clothes and furniture for the SMvation Army, as well as information for hinpelf. He probably Jmows as much ahout |Rv- anston homes and the way to get into them as anybody. Since the expiration of his parole he has been roaming about the conn* try, stopping a while In St Louis, but made his headquarters at Chicago. "This Hope Hall at Rose Hill gives us considerable trouble," said Chief of Police Schaffer today. "The con- victs whom they harbor come here with the recommendation of the Sal- vation Army and get into trouble. 1 wish it was several miles further away."

V,'- The pulpits of the nine churches in the city were filled for the morning service by ministers and religious and social workers from Chicago, all of whom pleaded for a Bystem of educa- tion concerning sex hygiene and sub- jects dealing with social purity In the public schools. Such education, they maintain, is the certain remedy for the Immorality In thenation. "> in the afternoon informal meetings were held in which a system of ques- tions and answers prevailed, the Ses- sion under the charge of Mr. E. M. Mohr of Chicago, superintendent of the purity department of the Interna- tional Sunday School association. He would meet the conditions of Immor- ality which obtains among the youth of the country by supplementing in the school the instruction which should be given first in the home, and by appealing to the chivalry of the boys and the Instinct of motherhood in the girls. r __' te^theiri:rardpi^,r«|«#^ U:.i^«iRais^^|^^ I stock and ir^:ittlp0y^ '^d^t'fro^ coal men and io^^i^#^t*ie^^ .......... to ship the coal 'ti^ffflft&W* ter will help the ^ndjj&ns> ^>@'M^'i If the weather con^I^ea^^ railroad will experience no dlfllculty in making the shipments.
