.A The Gold Hill News “BOIL TMC DRINKING WATER.” PwMi hed tvevy Saturday at GoW Hit Jackson County, Oregon The following editorial from the Salem Statesman is valu able as a reminder that the germs of typhoid fever enter the human system with impure drinking water, and that these germs may lie killed by boiling the water. In fact, the whole question may be boiled down to the simple piece of advice, boil the drink ing water. The Statesman article, however, presents the whys and wherefores in the following illuminating manner: “This season of the year is not conducive to better man’s physical condition, and is generally market! by an increase in the number of typhoid cases; especially so in the outlying and rural districts where there are no special laws or regulations protecting the water supply for the community. The germs of typhoid are not particularly more prevalent during these months but the opportunities for transmitting them from individual to individual seem to be greater. When the fall rains begin there is greater chance for the infectious agent, namely the typhoid germ, to be washed from waste depositories through the fissures in the soil to the water supply. Also, during the cool weather of early fall, flies strenuously seek shelter, and the house if un protected will be literally swarmed with them each night. Dur ing the daytime they are visiting various places where they may obtain their food, and many times become contaminated with various kinds of disease-producing bacteria. At night they come back to the house and infect the food substances prep?red for the family use. “The water supply, being easily contaminated by under ground currents,coming through soil impregnated with waste material, cannot be too closely guarded at this season of the year. Because the water looks clear, and is cold and sparkling, there is no assurance that it does not contain agents of a deadly nature. Enough germs of typhoid fever could be present to cause grave trouble and yet, without having a technical analysis made of it, a person could not detect them. The only safe way is to be assured that the water does not catch any surface or under-ground drainage where there could be any question of contamination, suggests a bacteriologist in one of the Pacific northwest educational institutions. If it is impossible to be assured on this grounds, a simple process of purification can be used in the home. Practically all of the disease-producing bac teria. including typhoid, are killed at a moderately low degree of temperature. A boiling tem perature will destroy them almost momentarily, and there is no excuse for water to become dangerous so long as the housewife has in her hands such a sim ple and effective means of protection. The boiling of the water may slightly change its palatabjlity, but if it is allowed to cool in two-thirds full bottles, and the bottles are vigorously shaken, it will regain its flavor. At any rate, the safety of the health should take precedence over any small item like a lack of palata- bility. “Recognizing, therefore, that typhoid may be more prevalent during this season of the year, each individual ought to pay par ticular attention to the exclusion of flies from the home and the protection of the water supply for the family use.” bv RtX H.

AY RE 8 Figures from Germany. Eng land. Sweden and seven Ameri can cities Indicate that in the average city school system the children who are In need of such treatment as that afforded by the open air schools constitute from 3 to 5 per cent of the entire school membership. This means that Albany, for example, should have opeD air schools In suffi cient numbers to care for 300 children, while New York city needs accommodations for 20.000. When such figures as these are mentioned the objection of ex pense looms high at once, but It must not be forgotten when we are considering expense that a thousand children of school age die each year of tuberculosis In New York city. On the average they have each had about six years of schooling, for which tbs city has paid about $250. This means a quarter of a million dol lars loss each year In the great city In money expended on edu cating children who die of tuber culosis before growing np. A quarter of a million dollars a year spent In open air schools designed to prevent this fright ful waste would go far toward meeting the entire expense. OBEY T H E RULE8.
