HowrYPHolDFEvERIs SPREAD

Typhoid fever is generally regarded
at the present day. along with cholera
and some other diseases, as belonging
to the class Of "water-borne" affec-
lions. In other words. 1t Is believed
that the germs OF such diseases are
carried, and perhaps propagated. In
water. There Is little doubt that this
theory OF typhoid fever is correct. and
that in tracing any extended epidemic
Of the disease to Its source We must
first OF all examine into the condition
Of the water supply.
Drinking water has been proved TO
be the cause of the spread Of typhoid
fever In many epidcmics in this coun.
try and England: but there Is little
comfort In this for those who habit
ually drink something stronger than
water. because. although during an
epidemic the drinking water may be
made safe by boiling. this is not
enough.
II the water Is contaminated. the
germs may be introduced into the body
while brushing the teeth or washing
the face. Or again. salads and fruits
which arc eaten raw may be contain.
mated by the water In which they are
washed. Typhoid fever has sometimes
been spread in city whose water sup
ply was above rcproach by means OF
milk or Ice.
MIX need not be watered In order
to become vehicle for typhoid germs:
the germs may be introduced into cans
and bottles while these are BEING
washed In water drawn from u con-
taminated well or brock ut the dairy.
Although destroyed by boiling typhoid
germs will resist n freezing temporal
ture for long, time. and have been
found In ice cut from n pond poisoned
with sewage containing the bacilii Of
this disease.
Another means of the spread Of ty-
phoid has recently been discovered in
oysters. Oystermen frequently place
oysters In brackish water near the
mouth Of creek or river In order to
fatten them before they are brought
to market. II this place happens to
be near the mouth of sewer contain
ing typhoid poison, or II the creek wa
ter be contaminated. the oysters will
take the virus within their shells. and
SO revenge themselves on those who
eat them raw.
In some puzxling cases of typhoid II
has been supposed that the food was
infected by flies. which had carried
the germs long distance on their feet
"a strong argument for the proper
care Of food in the fly season.

which this disease may be spread, but

BAR HARBOR HOSPITAL.
Plans Accepted and Contract Award
ed-Description of Building.

The Bar Harbor medical and surgical
hospital will soon be an actuality. The
plans have been accepted and work will
soon begin.
Less than year ago the first steps were
taken toward establishing in Bar Har Dor
a hospital which should meet the imme-
diate wants of the town of Eden and
surrounding places. Late last August a
committee of resident and nonresident
physicians was appointed by the Bar
Harbor village improvement association
to consider the subject and to report at a
public meeting OF cottagers and perma
nent residents.
The committee met, approved the idea
OF a hospital and subscriptions were at
once started. The committees efforts in
raising money met with such success that
not long ago prominent architects were
invited to submit plans for the proposed
building. At meeting OF the building
committee, consisting OF DIR. Amory, J. S.
Kennedy, William Fennelly, Andrew
Rodick and George Dorr on Monday,
July 4, the plans of Milton Stratton, OF
Bar Harbor, were selected as embodying
the best arrangement together with
beauty and comfort.
The new hospital will stand on the lot
situated between Hancock street and
Weyman lane, and will be in the colonial
style of architecture. Its dimensions will
be about S2x30 feet. The basement will
be of red brick and granite, while wood
will be used for the two upper stories.
In the basement will be situated the
kitchen, nurses dining-room, store room
and places for boilers and heating appar
atus. A matrons' room and an admins
tration office on either side of the broad
main hail way, an operating room, gem
women are planned for the first floor,
while on the floor above will be private
ward of four rooms.
The operating room, lighted by sky
light over the table and by lights on
three sides will be provided with all
modern surgical apparatus. A grano-
lithic floor and adamant plastering will
prevent absorption OF bacteria. A well
lighted scuIlery will be furnished with
means for preparing dishes for the sick.
Both hot water and hot air will be used
in heating the building.
Already the contract for building has
been awarded to Goddard & Hunt, of
this place, and work will be begun as
soon as possible. 1t is hoped that it may
be completed before winter.

The Temperance Question.
WEST FRANKLIN, July 2, 1898.
the Editor of The American:

To the Editor Of The american:
While the press Of this country is
bringing before the people illustrations
Of suffering among Cubans, brought about
by the tyranny OF Spain, very little is
said about the widespread suffering of
our own people on account of the ty-
rannical reign Of King Alcohol.
There are those who say Nothing more
can be done for the cause of temperance
until the people are educated to the evil
OF rum" When will that time come?
Everything is being brought to bear
upon the youth OF this land, by the evil
dispenser Of rum, to form the habit Of
drinking, and when once formed in most
cases the ruin is complete. All reforms
must be backed by good laws vigorously
enforced.
ton paper was passed around for money
for Fourth OF July celebration, and the
rumsellers Literally subscribed. The tenn
perance people asked the mayor to close
the runs hops on that day, believing that
open bars would do great harm. Did the
mayor grant this request of these tenn
perance people? Oh MOI His reply was:
"Ihese gentlemen lrumsellers) have sub
scribed most literally, and it would be
doing them great injustice not to allow
them to sell and get their money back"
Little did that mayor care for the half
fed, half-clothed wives and children of
the citizens of his city. Talking, writing
or preaching temperance is of no avail
unless the law is enforced. II it cannot
be, let US petition for its repeal. No law
is better than a law not respected.
