FAVORABLE FOR OYSTER&
Bagllah. Royal Commission Reports
Shat Ranger of Typhoid Infec
tion Has Been Exaggerated.
The English royal commission
on sewage disposal has issued a
ieport that should tend to allay
the frequent “oyster scares”
caused by the assertion that shell
fish are polluted and made unfit
1 o eat by typhoid germs. They are
of the opinion that there is not at
present exact knowledge warrant
i lg such sweeping measures as
he compulsory purification of
*>eVTaFe before discharge, for there
is noth.’n£> fbev state, in the ap
" nj earance oi shellfish to distin
* uish those whicn hare been ex
posed to sewage contamination
from those which hare not been so
exposed.
The denial of the validity of
bacteriological examination as a
test is very important, for this
♦; st lias rested on the assumption
that the bacillus coli communis, or
Oiher allied organism, does not
normally occur in the oyster. Over
l.dOO oysters taken from the pui
* *t waters and from beds obviously
!i ible to pollution were examined
and the bacillus coli was found it.
nearly all of them, from whatevei
laying they were taken, though as
a rule a very much smaller num
ber of bacilli was found in those
from pure than in those from
polluted waters. The commis
si oners say:
;,If it should be seriously con
tt aded that the mere presence of
bi.cillus coli, orcolilike microbes,
In an oyster should condemn it,
few oysters would probably es
c: pe condemnation.”
Concerning the possibilities oi
ti e communication of disease bj
shellfish, they state that there is i
pr'una facia probability that ai
times living typhoid bacilli mighi
be conveyed by shellfish to the con
’ i turner and produce enteric fever
ex perience confirms their viewi
that the extent to which the ill
ness is actually conveyed cannot

ba/y contest.
Here is thA proposition and the 1
rules govenAng the contest:
There a handsome $25.00
solid goldllocket with diamond
setting an A solid gold chain, on
I display al the Palace Jewelry
store, to Ae given away Decem
ber 24 thjf 1904, to the baby boy
i or girl finder two years of age, |
I who wins the highest number of,
, votes ias the prettiest and sweet
| est baby. Now the baby that is ,
.not/pretty is surely sweet, and i
' if the wee tot be a little cross at j
| times, beauty must offset this
badness. Fond parents at least
are expected to think their ba
bies are both sweet and beauti
ful, and so they do. But to set
i tie once for all the claims of the
' under two, and put at rest this
rivalry of mothers and fathers,
the Independent has inaugurated
' a contest that is to be determined
1 by that cherished right, popular
, ballot, and in accordance with
’ the following rules:
BABY PRIZE CONTEST RULES.
First—No baby that has reach
ed the age of two years Nov. 1,'
1904, is eligible to this contest,
, i nor snan any employe or pariy
. connected with this paper be eli
gible to vote.
, Second—Every issue of the
. Daily and Weekly Independent
, from November 1 to December
, 24, will contain a ballot entitling
the holder to one vote in this
, contest. For every dollar’s worth
i of job, work, advertising and
subscription paid for between
these dates a coupon good for ten
votes will be issued, but no cou
pons will be issued for sums less
than $1.00. Connons will not be
i sold, and will omy be issued for
. job, ad and subscrpition busi
ness, but extra copies of the In
dependent at 2 cents per copy,
each containing one ballot, will
be sold at this office.
Third—All votes must be sent
to this office and will be de
posited in a lock box, to be opened
at 8 o’clock each publication day
and counted. The daily issue of
that afternoon will contain the
total of the several candidates
and the public will thus be kept
informed of the voting each day.
Fourth—A committee of three
good business men will be select
ed to canvass the ballots the
morning of Dec. 24 and announce
the winner. All ballots must be
deposited at this office by 11 a.
m., Dec. 24, 1904.
Read the rules carefully.
NOTICE TO
FOREIGN SUBSCRIBERS.
After December 1, 1904, the
Independent wiil be sent outside j
of Jackson county only on sub-1
scriptions paid in advance, and |
will bef’stopped upon the expira- j
tion of the time for which they !
are paid.
Subscribers will be notified two ;
weeks prior to the expiration of
their subscription, and prompt j
renewals will cause no skips in j
receiving the’paper.
Our outside mailing list has
reached those proportions which
make this step necessary to pro- j
tect ourselves, and we feel that
the change will not be objection
able, but rather .in accordance!
with the wishes of our outside;
readers,
The Independent”has only one
. subscription 'price, $1.00„ a year
I for the Weekly, and 40 cents per j
month for the Daily, but the
postal charge for papers to out
side addresses, warrants us in
requiring these subscriptions to!
I be paid in advance.
I This does not apply to any
postoffice in Jackson county, or
such towns as Bradford, Alicia,
! Minturn, Newark, in closely con
! tiguous territory.
