is usually unaware of any of these symptoms. In the majority of instances, however, there is not the slighest inconvenience. The immunity probably lasts for several years, although its duration is less than that of smallpox which frequently persists for a life time.

In the fall of 1912, a series of six cases of typhoid fever developed among the pupils of the Cherokee Orphan school, resulting in three deaths. Although the source of the disease was considered to be outside of the school, as some of the cases came from families in which there had been recent cases of typhoid, the school physician, Dr. Duckworth, has since resorted to anti-typhoid vaccination, and each year each pupil, upon entrance to school, is immediately vaccinated, unless previously immunized. No cases have developed in the school since these measures were adopted.

Sometime during August of last year Ruth, the 8-year-old daughter of Supt. Clarence Clark of the Nuyaka Indian school developed typhoid fever. The source of this infection was never determined but fearing that the lack of proper water supply at the school may have been a factor, Superintendent Clark and the school physician, Dr. Culp, pursued the wise and only safe course by vaccinating all the employees and pupils against typhoid; 107 pupils and 10 employees being given the regulation immunizing doses without inconvenience to pupils or employees.

In every Indian school where there is any danger whatever of typhoid infection, either from a case in the school or a pupil coming from a home, or neighborhood where there has been a case of typhoid, or if there is any question as to the purity of the water supply, the vaccination of pupils and employees should be resorted to. To neglect this unquestioned specific measure of prevention is but to invite the further spread of the disease.

Institute of Indian Service Employees at Phoenix HE institute for Indian Service employees was a distinct success, notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather. A steady downpour of rain of two days' duration prevented many, whom we wished to see at the Institute, from attending.

The first session of the Round Table was held Thursday evening in the school building with Mr. Scott presiding. Miss Phelps gave a comprehensive talk on "School Gardens," the pupose of and the methods employed in, teaching gardening. A general discussion followed on plans for teaching children to eat the vegetables.

Mrs. Hall, teacher at Sacaton, discussed the "Teaching of English in the First Four Grades" and Mrs. Owsley spoke on the "Teaching of English in Fifth to Eighth Grades." These talks were most interesting and called forth much discussion.

Mr. Anderson spoke on the subject of "Correlation of Academic and Industrial Instruction" from the industrial standpoint and Mr. Scott discussed the same subject from the academic viewpoint. Both advocated a closer relation, suggesting plans for cementing the two departments into a more complete and effective whole. After the Round Table discussion on these subjects the conference adjourned until 10:30 a. m., Friday.

On Friday morning, Dr. Breid presiding, the Round Table discussions were opened by Miss Clausen in an interesting paper on "Domestic Science and Home Economics." Mr. Waite made a plea for the teaching of canning of garden and orchard products as a valuable item of home economics. A discussion of "How to Teach Agriculture in Our Indian Schools" was led by Mr. Waite, and Dr. Marden gave a very practical talk on "Health."

Friday evening a reception in the girls' sitting room gave an opportunity for a very pleasant social hour, which was prolonged into a "watch meeting." The New Year was greeted by the usual demonstrations of noise which subsided after it was worn out and gave way to the male quartet, which impartially sang New Year greetings to all the quarters, both of the children and the employees.

Those in attendance at the institute from other schools were Acting Supt. R. A. Ward, Principal T. B. Gabbard, Mrs. Cora Hall, Miss Wilma Love and Miss Alta Mulrein, of Sacaton; Mr. Klingenberg and Mr. Moore of McDowell, and E. A. Marks of Oraibi. Mr. Riddle and Dr. Whiting of Salt River were late arrivals on Friday.

J. O. Barnd and wife of the Maricopa reservation came in last Saturday, missing the conference on account of the bad condition of the roads.

Timberlake Sets Tradition At Rest

"Take an Indian's land away from him. and let him hustle for himself and he will starve," is an old saying down here in eastern Oklahoma.

Right here in Muskogee, however, is a fullblood Indian who has given that statement the lie. Maybe a former Indian Commissioner was right when he said: "Give the Indian the white man's chance."

The Indian who has refuted the statement that a member of his race can't make good is no other than John A. Timberlake, peanut and popcorn vender, and a human sandwich board. For John is making a good living and is carrying out an idea of his own.

When the Indian lands were allotted Timberlake got his share. His children also were allotted and John was left what is known as a dead claim that he sold for a neat sum of money. But the money and land he received from the Government did him no good. He just could not hold onto it, and in a few years it was all gone. Most of it was sold and the money spent freely. When Timberlake had no more land and no money a friend came to him and offered to get him a job as guard at one of the jails at a salary of $18 a week.

"Go to thunder," said this Indian, "I am going into business for myself. He

opened a little flower store on C street. When summer came and there was no more demand for plants and garden sets of various kinds, John put on his thinking cap. ing cap. He saw possibilities in selling things for a small sum that gave him a good profit. He negotiated for popcorn

crisps from a local manufacturer, and donning a white hat and a pair of white pants for a uniform, began selling popcorn. He did not get on a street corner and wait for business to come to him, but got a little basket and went out after business. He did so well that he added fresh buttered popcorn, peanuts, cracked pecans and several other things. By going from one office building to another he has built up a trade that makes him a good living and he is his own boss. He finds that $1 worth of popcorn properly prepared and put up in neat sacks will bring in about $8. While he is not getting rich, he is perhaps making more clear money than a man working for a pretty fair salary.

Recently he has taken on a new line. He is a human sandwich man as well as a vendor. In the past few days he has been making his rounds with an oilcloth sign which he carries on his back and for which an auction house pays him enough money to pay his house rent and take care of his grocery bill.

But John is not always going to be a vendor and an advertising sign. Some of these days he is going to own a greenhouse and grow roses and chrysanthemums for the public. He is a natural gardener, and anything he plants grows and does well. He is passionately fond of flowers and shrubs. He has owned several homes in Muskogee during the past ten years and no one in Oklahoma had a finer flower garden.

Next spring will find him with a better stock of flowers and ferns and, perhaps, a small greenhouse.-Muskogee (Oklahoma) Democrat.

Indian School Boys Good Fire Fighters

A gang of Indian boys from the Phoenix Indian school proved themselves to be real fire fighters when they put out a raging blaze that soon threatened to destroy the big sugar cane crop on the J. S. Heard field on North Central avenue, just north of the Grand canal.

The fire broke out about 4 o'clock evidently from a cigaret stub thrown from the street into some dry leaves, the blaze finding its way to the sugar cane which has been stacked ready for mill.

The field consists of sixty acres. Mrs. Heard discovered the flames and phoned to Major E. P. Grinstead of the Indian school. Mr. Grinstead hastened with a gang of Indian boys and with wet sacks they soon extinguished the blaze.

A space of about twenty feet across the field was burned and considerable damage done to numerous stacks of cane. A hay stack was also destroyed. -Arizona Gazette.

We are in receipt of the Agricultural Fair number of the Red Man which is up to its usual high standard. It is fully illustrated and is an object lesson to those who do not know what progress the Indians are making in farming throughout the country.
