WATER SUPPLIES
AND TYPHOID
From State Board of Health.
A recent epidemic of typhoid fever
in a small city of eastern Oregon
as caused by a break in a defective
pipe-line. This should serve as
vmnir.g to city oiHcials throughout
this state to take immediate steps to
survey their water systems and make
such changes as will insure safe wa
ter for the communities which they
serve. It is the sworn duty of every
city omcial to guard the health of the
community and in doing this he must
see that the people have a safe water
supply. When the public water sup
plies are not properly protected, we
are likely to find typhoid fever prev
alent. V, atr-borne typhoid is abso
lutely preventable and therefore ab
solutely inexcusable.
City water supplies can be rendered
Dae by chemical purification and ni
tration. By these methods, any com
munity can assure itself of a safe
water supply at a very moderate cost.
tor the small village using a natur
ally stored supply the essential safe
guard of chlorination can be secured
al a cost of less than ten cents per
capita per year. For those who are
unfortunate enough to live in com
munities where the water supply is
not properly protected, safety can be
assured by boiling the water before
it 15 used for drinking. Similarly in
all communities, milk should be boil
ed or pasteurized, for there is no safe
raw milk any more than there is safe
untreated water.
The typhoid danger that exists in
summer homes, tourist camps and
picnic grounds is due to primitive
methods of sanitation and sewage
disposal. This danger is easy to un
derstand for typhoid fever is an in
testinal disease and countless mil
lions of germs are present in the ex
cretion of patients and carriers. From
the excretions the germs may be car
ried either directly or indirectly by
flies, lingers, etc., to food, water or
milk, which if consumed, may cause
typhoid fever. Finally for those who
live or travel in regions where sani
tation is still primitive, immuniza
tion by the use of anti-typhoid vac
cine, is a process which repeated ev
ery five years will, in the vast ma
jority of instances, protect against
infection with this disease.
Purification of water supplies, pas
teurization of milk supplies and the
use of typhoid vaccine have done
much to reduce the incidence of ty
phoid, and when generally applied to
every community in this state will
make it possible to eradicate typhoid
fever which now costs the state about
$340,000 annually.
More Men Than Women
"Flunked" Out at U. 0.
University of Oregon, Eugene, June
27. One hundred forty-nine students
"flunked" out of the University of
Oregon during the school year 1926
27, it was revealed in figures an
nounced today at the registrar's office.
A weeding process of the first two
terms of the year had so reduced the
number of academic laggards that in
the spring term just ended the "flunk
ers" numbered less than half those of
the fall term.
Spring term flunks numbered 30
25 men and 5 women. Seventeen men
and one woman failed to make the five
hours required for freshmen or seven
hours required for members of the
three upper classes. Five men and
three women were dropped under the
17-hour rule imposed on probation
ers, and three men and one woman
were flunked because of failure to
meet special requirements imposed
by the scholastic committee in their
individual cases.
The year's figures show a decided
advantge for women students. Of the
149 who flunked out, there were 124
men and 25 women. This ratio was
approximated in each of the terms.
Illustrating the drop in the number of
flunks as the year progressed, the fol
lowing figures are given:
Fall term, 65 flunks; winter term
65; spring term, 30.
