" Poton1ac'S Muddy Water
HeathfuF' Woodward
Number of Typhoid Cases Decreased, as
Germs Are Less Concentrated, and
Therefore Less Powerful

There is health in muddy water.
Consequently. the citizens of Washing
Ton bid fair TO thrive and wax strong.
DR.. William G. Woodward, Health
officer for the District. said this morn
ing that muddy water from rivers de-
c~eases the number Of cases OF typhoid
fever and lessons the danger of all other
contagious diseases. He gave it as a
safe rule that as the water becomes
muddier. the number of typhoid fever
cases grows less.
Germs Cannot Exist.
DR.. Harvey w Wiley made the fol-
lowing sworn statement last year before
tho Senate Committee on Manufactures:
Potomac water is about the healthiest
you can get. The more mud you have
in the water, the less chance the germs
have to live. Potomac water Is so bad
that germs cannot exist in it. and it is
about the most wholesome thing you
can get"
The argument advanced by DR.. Wood
ward is that, while the number Of germs
Is larger in muddy water than in clear,
the very fact that the germs are more
numerous makes them less harmful
Sudden floods carry the mud and sur
face germs into the water courses and
mirgle them with the harmful bac-
terra. These surface germs are not
I owerful and can do no harm. While
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1904-03-16

this additional introduction of harm
less germs is taking place, the serious
and dangerous disease producers are
distributed over a wider area of water
and their strength is lessened b. the
new and foreign elements.
Beware of Clear Streams!
Il is weIl-lnown fact. said the doc
tor that the late summer months are
the most productive of typhoid. and at
the same time these months are the
time of clear streams. Clear water pre-
walls, but the volume of water is much
smaller than in the spring. This small
amount of clear water really carries
the same amount of harmful germs as
the winter and spring torrents. but
these bacteria are crowded into mucn
smaller amounts of water thus making
them more effective and deadly.
Ii has also been proven that mud
weakens the force of bacteria. There
fore, as the matter of drinking water
stands in Washington today the popu-
lation is in less danger from sickness
than in the times when the water is
perfectly clear. Many harmless germs
make no difference in the general health
conditions.
Therefore. the necessity of boiling
water Is not as great now as at other
times. The people of this city, when
ob5eCtiug TO the chOcolate-cOloreG fluid
for bathing purposes. can gulp it down
without the slightest uneasiness. conf
dent that they are quaffing the elixir
Of life.

tinue to tight the case. II is hoped
that Justice TerrelPs ruling will be re-
versed BY the court and the dog win

According 10 the story told before
Judge Terrell. Mr.. Hoffman. who is for
Tner Senator J. B HendersOn's private
secretary. left Washington on August
last, and not wishing to take the
canine with him. asked Mr.. Rowe 70
take care OF the dog in his absence. Mr..
Hoffman says he did not give the dog
away, because It is worth so.
Rowe Claimed Possession.
Mr.. Rowe. however. contends that he
cared for the dog from August until
December, and it belongs to him. Mr..
Hoffman says he vent to Rowe and
asked for the dog. Rowe refused 10 give
the animal up. and said he would cut
its throat before he would part COM
pany with IT,
When Mr.. Rowe learned that suit was
to be brought against him. Mr.. Hoffman
says. a tag was procured and thereby
made the dog personal property. Jus
tice Terrell took a long while to de-
eide the case, and said II was unpre-
cedented in his career. and. therefore,
he was ION the fence" as TO which way
TO decide. AS Rowe bought the tag and
made the dog valuable In the eyes Of
the law, the justice returned Judgment
