Figures Highest This Year.

W ME last year was one or eNCep-
tionally high averages in typhoid. this
August has excelled the last year Aug
ust record. although up TO this month
this year has been marked by unusually
few cases of t le disease.
In spite Of published explanations that
the Potomac water is not the cause OF
the sudden huge Increase in the disease.
and that the cool nights have been the
real reason for #, the Health Depart
meut after a careful study Of the con-
uitiOns now existing. reIterates its warn
as that II is essential. in order 10
Keep down the inrOads Of typhoid. To boil
all Potomac water that is used for
! drinking purposes.
II has been pointed out by persons well
up on typhoid fever that last summer
cool nights were almost as common as
they are now, and yet there was no such
sudden increase in the disease as has
! been discovered this summer. The gen
eral OUinion is that the water Is the
cause Of the spread of the disease.
Boiled Water Harmless.
In saying that 1t is important to the
health Of the community to have all
Potomac drinking water boiled. the ex-
PLANTATION is made by the Health De
pertinent that boiled water is not at all
Injurious TO the human system The
only disa greeable effect OF the boiling Is
20 give the water a certain fiat taste.
This can be prevented In two ways,
according 20 the officials OF the Health
Department. Either let the water stand
I'm AN uncOrked bottle after II has been
boiled. thus giving the air ACCESS to II.
or else after the boiled water has
cooled pour II from one vessel into an
other. thus making Il pass through the
air. Either of these methods Will de-
prive il OF the fiat taste and VIII rem
der the consumer Of IL certain that Il Is
perfectly healthy and free from germs.

FOUND DEAD IN PASTURE.
Horrible Murder of Young Women In
Missouri.

The dead body of Miss Roda Butts,
aged 23 years, white servant girl Of
Marshall, Mo-, was found in a pasture
in the suburbs of South Marshall. Her
throat had been cut with a charp stick,
a piece of which still remained in the
flesh, her left ear had been cut off and
there was bullet hole in the head.
There was evidence that the girl had
made a struggle for her life. A cigar
cite near the body and bloody tracks
leading away from the spot are the
only tangible clews.
Miss Butts was last seen late on
Wednesday night, according to her sis
ter, with two young men, one of whom,
she says, she can recognize. Neither of
the men has been located. A man liv-
ing near where the body was found re-
ports having heard screams Wednes-
day night, but no search for the girl
was made until Friday.
