Typhoid is a preventable disease and at all costs it must be eradicated. Blush as we may that such a step is necessary and regardless of our reputation, for the time being, as a clean and healthful community, we must get together and wipe out for all time this monster that is now laying our people low by tens and dozens because some persons arc violating the laws of health and hygiene. Regard for the rights of business must not be permitted to stand in the way of official action. If ice cream is to blame, then close every ice cream factory to which the finger of suspicion points. If the fault lies in the milk supply, then let the hand of the law fall heavily upon the offenders. If there be other causes all should be removed from the danger zone. This is no time for the consideration of anything but the health and life of the people as a whole. Nobody knows where the monster will strike next. It's awful form lurks on the threshold of every home. To the safeguarding of the people the whole strength in dividually and collectively of the city commissioners, the health authorities, city and State; the medical societies and reputable dealers in products, the purity of which has been assailed, must be concentrated. If Dr. Raunick needs help in the way of advice, or additional assistants, or money with which to meet the situation, he should be given them without stint. Indeed he MUST have every weapon available with which to fight the scourge that now besets us. The people will be content with nothing else. Money is as nothing compared to life and health and the city's health board should call upon council for all that it needs. The voters will stand back of them to the limit. As for the Telegraph, it is sorry that these radical steps are necessary, that any business should be injured or that I larrisburg's fair reputation should be sullied, but it would not be true to the interests of the people if it longer remained silent. It will serve to the extent of its ability within its sphere. Immediate and hearty eo-operation of everybody is essential if the epidemic is to be halted. We must all get together and work together intelligently. Duty demands it. QUICK ACTION BY COUNCIL IS PUBLIC DUTY Special Meeting Will Be Called to Pass Emergency Measure, It Is Understood A special meeting of Council will be called within the next few days to pass emergency measures in connec tion with the typhoid fever epidemic, giving the city health department ab solute control of the entire situation, it was stated in city official circles to-day. Action will probably be taken fol lowing the close of the city health bureau meeting late this afternoon. Just what measures will be adopted were not mentioned, but the milk and cream supply will probably be gone [Continued on Page 5] ;HUGHES MAKING ; SHORT SPEECHES Makes Rear Platform Talks on Trip Across Ken tucky Pikeville, Ky„ Oct. 12.—Charles E.
