Mrs. Rosita Forbes Tells an
Amazing Story of Courage
and Adventure,

den spot, but now a new route hail
been harked on the map byre brave
explorer, Mrs. Rosita Forbes, an Eng-
lisp woMan, who, in her book, "Tile
Secret of the Setae,: ICufara," tells
amazing stories of courage, adventure
and audacity.
It was' towards the end of 1920 that
Mrs. Forbes started from Benghazi,
the Mediterranean end of au old cars.
van route across the African deport,
on her journey into the unknown. She
was accompanied by an Egyptian, Alt -
mod Bey Ilaseaneln, of whom Mrs.
Forbes says; "When he first consent-
ed to accompany me into the Lyblan
des'ot't'ho assured me that he came for
a rest cure. Later on ho assumed so
many qualities that it was difficult to
keep count. He was a chaperon when
elderly shoikes demanded my hand in
marriage, a fanatic of the moat bitter
type when it was necessary to impress
the local mind, my Imam when we
prayed in public, and a child when he
lost his only pair of primrose Yellow
siipPeria"
A Murder Pot.
Starting from Benghazi was sim-
plicity itself when compared to the
getting away from the first stopping
place, Jedabia. A plat to murder Mrs.
Forbes by fanatics, who objected to
her expedition on religious grounds,
was discovered just in time. At last,
however, the expedition was fairly
started. "Mrs. Forbes had disappear-
ed into space, and in 'her place was'a
Mohammedan wonrtn called Iiitadlja,
travelling with a kinsman, an L pyp-
tion Bey, son of .3heikh-el-Azar. She
wore Bedouin clothes, followed their
customs, prayed to their. God, lived
their life."
it is impassible to give any idea of
the hardships endured by the cour-
ageous little party on the wayto Ku -
fare. The description of Now Year's
Day in the desert gives cue an idea,
however.
"New Year's Day dawned gloomily.
We hal two half-breeds for the camels

at leas than a pint a day Per person,
"It was a terrible walk, Everyone
know that, t ur :rely speaking, they
were gciag to die of thirst In a day or
two. Nearly everyone had blistered
feet e and no rn:e had enough to eat. yet
everyoue laughed. The hot midday
hours dragged along intolerably slow-
ly. I did not feel very thirsty myself,
but we had all drunk so little lately

Cities of the Dead.
And then at last they cause to water,
"I remember tottering down a hollow
and seeing scmo nude Meets figures
scooping up sand, and then a silent
little group crouching pitifully on the
edge of the freshly -dug pit that meant
life or death. The water came very
slowly, but It came.".
I Armed with a personal letter of re•
commendation from His Beatitude
Sayed Mohammed Idris, Mrs. Forbes
was received more. or less politely by
the Bedouin tribes on tho way, and
very graciously by the Emir's repre-
sentatives at Kufara,
The "towns" of Kufara are strange,
secret places: "The whole life of an
Arab town goes on within the high,
impenetrable walls. Other vise they

Mrs. Forbes tells how some of the
happiest weeks al her life were spent
in Syria . as the guest of an Arlie
Prince, whose kindness was wonderful
and only equalled by that of a Sheriff
of Islam, in Jedabfn, "We asked Sayed
Bide, If we' could send him anything

five years age It was common for
medical students during their hospital
experience to see at least two or three
wards alwuye filled in the spring and
fall Menthe with typhoid patients, To-
day there is only one or two cases of
typhoid in the Toronto General Hospi-
tal, and on enquiring it was learned
that there are only a few saah pa-
tients at any tante of the year, except
in particular eases. These "particular"
cases are the result of neglect of the
very preoautions that lave practically
wiped epidemic typhoid off the map. e
In the great majority of cases of
typhoid fever, the disease is trans-
mitted by water. This is the com-
mon avenue of defection and if we t
take flies into cen.eideration too, the
'whole problem of typhoid transmission an
will be piaetically solved as far as the t
general public are concerned. p
It is very important to notice that t
there is an increase in the prevalence r
of typhoid or enteric fever •during the
