While the ball gnmo last Saturday afternoon was entertaining enough, and while- the two nines played fair ly good ball, tho fact still rumnms that no attendance sufficient to sup port a toam showed up and leaves ono stronger of the opinion that Central Point is too small for week day ball. Those who oppose Sunday ball to a more or less degree oppose baseball in its entirety, as low, vile and ultra-partisan, and will not at tend on any occasion, and those who are fond of the national game, bo lioving it, as wo do, to bo clean, wholesome and desirable, cannot nt- tend on a weekday, and especially is this so on a Saturday. Saturday is the best day in the week for all business men. People come in from tho country to trade and not to play ball. To ask a merchant to close noon is simply asking him to invite noon is simply asking hi mto invite his customers to go to Medford for their wares, which in time thoy a l 11 II 111 fill.

Hasklns tor Health. TO PREVENT EPIDEMICS IN MEDFORD A Talk on Health Conditions and a Warning to Citizens, by City Healfh Officer Shearer What to Do and hen to Do It Filth in All Forms Should Be Fought Incessantly. As city health officer I have re- r broke out In the town at tho rate of cently been apprised of conditions In j 50 cases a day until 1200 wero strlck- somo parts of the city which warrant moro than a' passing comment, and whllo sounding a warning of tho dan gers which such conditions threaten, it seems an appropriate time to call tho public attention to a number of precautions, which, although simple in themselvos, if faithfully obsorved will practioll:' eliminate tho great est danger cf this season of the year, namely, typhoid fovor, but the neg lect of which will almost inovltably result in a more or less widespread epidemic of that dread discaso, to say nothing of tho many other evil ef fects which follow a neglect of the ordinary lava of hygiene. Tho most common source of such epidemics Impure water will bo re moved to a considerable extent by the new water supply of tho city, as soon as tho proper steps have been taken to rid tho distributing system of all traces of tho lnipuro water which has filled it for so long, but thoro still remains a serious menace to health In many of tho woIIb oMhe city. All those who are compelled to use well water chould see that there is no possible chance of contamina tion of tho woll by seopago from any cesspool or faulty drain, anJ. unless absolutely assured of this fact, should only use tho water after it has been boiled. In ordor that tho publlo may havo a belter understanding of the dan gers of infection during tho warm season, It :.'iould bo homo In mind that tho gorno of typhoU fovor aro found In great quantities in tho ox- creti of typhoid fovor patlouls, and tho disease Is communicated by tho Introduction of these germs into tho digestlvo syatom by either drinking water or milk or other liquids which havo boon Infqcted, or by eating foods upon which the germs havo been deposited by files or other In sects, As an Illustration of tho vi tality of these gorms, and of their rapid multiplication, I will clto tho epidemic of Plymouth, Pa., In 1885, whoro tho ovacuations of ono fover patient wore thrown out upon tho banks of a stream which furnished tho town's water supply, with tho ro sult that tho waters of tho stream becaino infected and typhoid fovor en out of a total population of 8000. From this It can bo seen that too much stress cannot bo placed upon the importanco of a puro water sup ply for domestic use, and I feel the more called upon to dwoll upon this point In view of the unspeakable condition of many cesspools and sur face deposlta of human excreta evon within tho city limits. If anyone has any doubts as to the existenco of such conditions, lot him take a stroll through any of the outlying parts of tho city on any warm afternoon or evening, and his olfactory nerves will furLlsh him tho most convincing proefs that tho filthiness of these things has not Lecn exaggerated. And this condition Is tho moro appalling when It Is noted that It is nllowed to exist in immcdlato proximity to sowers already established, and by persons of sufficient progrcsalvcness to go to tro expense of obtaining water connections In ordor to sprin kle thoir lawss and beautify their grounds, but still unwilling to ex pend tho small amount necessary to onablo thorn to dispose of their filth In a sanitary mannor. It is imposslblo for mo, as health officer, to discover all of the locali ties whoro such conditions oxlst, but I earnestly request ovory citizen to notify me of tho oxlstonco of any such menace to tho public health, and will use my utmost endeavor in ovory such Instance to eoo that tho law is ob served strictly and without favor. In addition' to avoiding tho uso of Impure water, ovory pocslblo caro should bo takon to koop Insects, es pecially flies and mosquitos, out of tho homo, and pn.tlcularly away from all foods and places whoro food is prepared for eating. Tho report of tho government commission which in vestigated tho spread of typhoid fovor in tho United States army camps dur ing the Spanlsh-Amorlcan war states that "flies wore undoubtedly tho most active agents la the spread of typhoid fovor, Files nltornatoly vlsltod and fed on tho infected faecal matter; and tho food In tho mess tent. . , precaution." From .this can bo seen tho Importance of protecting tho food supply from such contamination. Fly screens, even It made of tho cheapest mosquito uettlng, will koop out prnc tlcally all tho files, and what fow find their way Into tho hot so in aplto of this precaution can bo disposed of by means of fly paper, and this should bo observod when In tho farm houso nnd upon tho ranch nnd or chard as well as In tho city, as tho deposits of filth about tho farm out buildings furnish tho best adapted breeding ilr.ros for thoso posts. Care ful observance of theao precautions together with propor sanitary treat ment of tho rcftiao nnd offal from house and stablo will greatly restrict tho breeding places and food supply of tho fly, and so lesson tho danger from this sotrco as to practically eliminate It. A recent periodical has published some suggestions as to how to got rid of files, which aro so portlnont that I will quote them horo for tho boneflt of those who havo not soon them: Manuro heaps of horscB or cnttlo should be kopt In covered pits, bins or fly proof dosots, and stables and pons must bo kopt clean of manuro. Outalde lavatories should he kept clean nnd all excromont covered up or dronchod with poisons, llmo or oil. Kitchen rcfuao should bo placed In closed, cleaily kopt garbago cans. AH decaying mattor should bo bur led or burned. All rccoptacles, uch as cusplodora should bo kopt clean. Until wo aro clean ouraolvos wo cannot koop healthy, and until wo keep our houses clean wo cannot koop away flies, If thoro ar- files arou.nd or In your houso, olthor you or your neighbor is caroless with regard to absoluto cleanliness. And until tho files qro got rid of, its thoy can bo with caro and watchfulness, a poeltlvo dangor to your own health and the health of your wlfo rnd children confronts you. It Is absolutely lncomprohonslblo Typhoid fovor was much loss froquont that a sano, thinking human bolng, would rl.l them of such filth or In fection na thoy might havo received through such exposure Tho fact that a doalor will oo ox poso his wres that thoy aro subject to contnmlni.tlon from flloi, dust, tho filth of tho streets, expectoration from caroless pasaorsby, nnd ovon I Affl W3K!ttWSW!T& rw Tho Onlr Womin'a Cullm on lb rrlfle ("ot Kitluilitlf for Yuunc Womtn IoctrJ rnnpng tli Wautiful lull nrir OallinJ.
