WATER TO BE BOILED.
Precautions to Be Taken in the Depart
ment Of Justice,

AASAAt Va v uSS1CSs
The Department of Justice has decided to
follow the lead of the school authorities of
the District Of Columbia, and orders have
been given for the boiling of water for the
clerks and employees of the department.
Chief Clerk Fields took the matter up with
Solicitor General Hoyt, acting attorney
general, and Mr.. Hoyt approved the recon-
mendations-of Mr.. Field. A gas stove. large
boilers and a large tank have been bought,
and this outfit will be put in operation at
once. The water used in the department
has been filtered for long time, and this
will be continued, filtration taking place
after boiling.
1t Is believed that the plan of boiling
water will work well in the department,
and that the employees will be greatly
pleased. The Department of Justice is not
a large department like the Treasury and
Post Office departments, and the prepare
ton of the water will not be difficult.
So far no employees of the department are
reported Ill with typhoid fever, but 1t is
considered best not to take any more
chances
