Thirty-five cases of typhoid is Chicago, whereof three have died and five others are still serious, have been traced to Margaret Benge, an 80-year-old typhoid carrier. The State Health Commissioner states that in November last Margaret Benge cooked squash taken from her garden and everyone who ate of this dish caught the disease in malignant form. Margaret Benge had typhoid when she was in her sixties. Years ago she was recognised as a carrier and agreed to avoid t handling other people’s food, she also promised not to mingle with people outside her home.—Sydney Sun cable.
