ne swimming pool, the swimming
school, the public bath and the old

are all hygienic factors. Yet, like
the common drinking cup, the com
mon bath Is open to disease germs
every day In the year, and hence a
possible source of Infection.
Typhoid fever has certainly been
transmitted from carrier to victim'

whether the pool be owned by club
school, city, private individual,
steamship or religious organization.
The water oi the pool should be ex

although it Bcems a paradox, bathers
should be compelled to bathe before
entering the pool, for the same rea

Frequent refilling and dilution of
the water in the tank will tend to
keep it pure. Retlltratlon of the

when combined with chemical disin

Venereal disease may be trans

Conjunctivitis and car Inflammation
may likewise be acquired from the
