"Autumn Time Is Typhoid Time Is slogan appearing in bold red typ« on several thousand envelopes seat out by the state board of health with, in the past few days, to the press and physicians and health officers of th* state board entitled "Typhoid Fever, Its Cause, Prevention and Suppres sion." The circular which is timely in view of the annual autumnal increase of typhoid fever, contains thirty-six pages, handsomely printed, devoted to the sanitary features of typhoid, the precautions to be taken to avoid the disease, the steps necessary to prevent the spread or Infection, th* care of the patient, the precautions necessary in the sick-room, and disln* fection of the house after the death or recovery of the patient. The rules and regulations of the state board of hiealth concerning the preventions and suppression of ty phoid fever, copious extracts from the public health laws of Illinois, and a list of standard disinfectants which can be used by phyeicians or laymen also form features of the circular, which is concluded with an article en titled "Sanitary Advice for Summer Tourists and Sanitary Advice for Keepers of Summer Resorts," by Dr. W. C. Rucker of the United States public health service. The most of the common sources of infection, water, milk, flies and ice are dwelt at length, and stress is laid upon the fact that the disease may be carripd by one person to another. The circular is profusely illustrat ed. The first cut points out the fal lacy of the commonly accepted belief that clear sparkling water is "good water," this shows in the upper part, a robust man drinking water from a dug well. Arrows indicate how the well is contaminated by nearby ma nure heaps and privy vault. In the lower part is shown the casket con taining the body of the same man, being borne from the house placarded "typhoid fever." The upper part of the picture bears the "Consequence." A cut of a fly and its parts much enlarged impress upon the reader the manner in which this common scav enger carries infection. Other features of the circular are cuts of a sanitary out house, detailed descriptions of which have appeared in the bulletins of the board. Anti-typhoid vaccination is given much attention, and its use recom mended. Copies of thiB circular will be sent free to any citizen of Illinois, on ap plication. The demand from other states for copies of the Illinois state board of health's circulars on pre ventable diseases has been so great that the state board has been com pelled to refuse requests from outside of Illinois.

INJURY IS SAID TO BE SLIGHT New Jersey Man Tells of Accident- Declares Chauffeur Did Not Sea Mound In Highway Caused by Ex* cavatlon Work Princeton, N. J., Nov. 5.--Gov. Wood- row Wilson wears a narrow strip of collodion and gauze across the top of his head, covering a scalp wound three inches long, which he re ceived Sunday morning in a mo* tor car mishap on the way home from Red Bank, N. J. His automobile struck a mound in the road and jolted him up against a steel rib in the roof of the limousine car. The wound began to bleed profuse ly and the governor was hurried to the residence of Dr. G. G. Titus, a few blocks from where the accident oc curred. It took Doctor Titus two hours to dress the wound, but this was because h6 became excited when he learned the identity of his distin guished patient The governor called his own fam ily physician. Dr. J. W. Carnochan, when he reached home and the wound was redressed. Doctor Carnochan said that the injury was slight. Capt. William J. McDonald, the gov ernor's bodyguard, was hiB only com panion at the time of the accident. The captain was severely bruised in several places and some of his old gunshot wounds were reopened. Doc tor Carnochan gave the captain a thorough examination and found that he had sufferod no serious injury. Captain "Bill" was quite indifferent about possible injury to himself. don't car© so long as the gov- erno. escaped," he said. To a group of newspaper men the governor In speaking of the accident said: "The wound doesn't even give me a headache. I am conscious only of a little burning sensation. I think we must have been making an average speed of about fifteen miles an hour when w« reached Hightstown when a red light appeared in the road ahead of us. The light was to the left of the roac and there was a post to the right which cast a shadow over the road. The chauffeur did not know that this shadow concealed a mound caused by the filling In of an excava tion, evidently for a sewer, that had been made across the road. We struck this mound at right angles and I struck the roof of the auto at the same moment. It was a very hard blow; there is no doubt about that. But fortunately I am hard headed. I had my hat on and that acted as a cushion but not as a defense. I felt thie top of my head with my hand and was astonished to find that it was bleed ing profusely. Some of the blood got on my overcoat. "The accident was really not the chauffeur's fault. There was a shadow across the road and he could not see the mound. The chauffeur was not in jured. ' He was held down by the steering wheel and consequently did not hit the roof. Doctor Titus suggested that I wear a skull cap to conceal the wound, but skull caps are too suggestive of old age to suit me."

Carroll was taken to the Peo ple's hospital. A few days before William Buckley shot at the same corner while on the way to his home, 238 West Twen ty-ninth place. His assailant escaped. He was taken to the People's hospital, where he remained in a five days' de lirium. The police of the Twenty-second street station got far enough Into the mystery to find that both men are friends, both shot with bullets of the same caliber, both shot at the same' corner, after dark In both instances, and stopped. They could get no farther because both men were unconscious. No wit nesses could be found. A reporter found a clew to the mystery. A two hour vigil at the bedsides of the wounded men brought snatches of the story from the weird mental wan derings of their delirium. Buckley, who had been shot through the lung, talked almost constantly, covering a myriad of subjects. Car roll, whose abdomen had been pene trated, dwelt more on the actual tragedy. The story, pieced from delirium, is thiB: Both men are friends. Sunday night they went together to a dance hall at Twenty-second street and Wentworth avenue. Buckley and Carroll were about the only Irishmen at the dance, the ma jority of the others being Italians and Austrians. Buckley was smitten with a young Italian girl.

When Buckley and Carroll left tho hall together two men appeared. Buckley recognized one of them as the suitor of the girl he had affronted. The two men Belzed him. Carroll pulled one of them off just as the other fired a revolver. All three fled, leaving Buckley In the street Carroll kept away from the police, but set out on a hunt for his friend's assailant on his own After HEROIC FIGHT IN AIR FOR-UF^ TWO DIE Aeronaut and Spectator, Whose Foot Caught in Balloon Ropes, Fall to Death.

Boston, Mass.--About 1,000 miles at sea Chief Officer Carl Gebauche of the German Bteamer Steirmarwa. here from Hamburg, was called upon to ehin up the main rigging and battle with five targe falcons. The birds flopped there apparently exhausted. The chief officer's eagle eye, combined with his knowledge of natural history, made known to him that the birds were a form of feath ered life mlghtly seldom met with In mld-Atlantlc. When he reached the birds his troubles had just begun. Every time the officer reached a hand toward them he lost a chunk of flesh. Wrapping his legs about the mast so that he had free use of his hands, he managed to grab a couple of the birds and descend to the deck. The other three falcons followed him, do ing their best to reach his unprotect ed face with their sharp beaks. The three free birds were apparent ly determined to rescue their com rades, but they were soon captured by the ship's crew. The three larger birds, which are particularly fierce, were chained to the deck, while the other two were put into a big cage. When his ship gets back to Germany Chief Officer Gebauche will give the birds to the Berlin zoo. RAISES LATE STRAWBERRIES Farmer In a Suburb of Minneapolla Sells His 8econd Crop at Fancy Prices.
