DANGER FROM TYPHOID FEVER.
Warning To Cities and Villages Having "A
General Water supply.

General Water supply.
The weekly bulletin issued by the
Michigan State Board of Health for the
week ending FEBRUARY ID. 1904, indicates
that diarrhea was more prevalent than
the average for the corresponding week
in the seven preceding years. or the
reports received 80 per cent more than
the average stated the presence Of the
disease. Also that typhoid fevt was
much more prevalent Sc per cent more
reports than the average stated the pre-
sence Of typhoid fever. The bulletin
further states that contamination OF the
water supply would account for the I'M
usual prevalence of both diseases In
winter that does not usually occur in
country districts, the contents Of privies
being frozen so they cannot leach into
wells. So far as relates TO typhoid fever
the reports Of il came mainly from cities
having general water supply. Ii by
reason OF unusual waste because Of the
great cold, any city or village is temper
arily obtaining water from polluted
river or lake, the state board OF health
advises that local authorities promptly
notify the citizens to boil the drinking
water.

LITERARY NOTES.

1t is doubtful il any more charming
and alluring bits of brief fiction have
been offered the public than THE Little
Stories Of Married Life" by Mary Stew
airy Cutting. A particularly delightful
effort along this line is made by this
writer in the March McClure's entitled
1.-THE Terminal" The pathos and trials
OF the life on the road OF the travelling
salesman who goes forth to commercial
conquest. leaving wife and family behind
in sore need OF his protecting love and
thought, are alphabetically presented.
Almost tragedy the little story becomes
and Its tugs at the heartstrings OF every
reader whose heartstrings are still attune
TO the the music Of tender and true sem
when that sentiment is so practical and
domestic.
The complete novel Of the March Lip
pincott's Magazine is one to arrest the
casual reader and keep him to the last
page 1t is called"A Provident Woman"
and is by Meth Boyce-a new name
with new grip In story telling. The
scenes are sordid ones at first in the toll
ing metropolis. but shift 10 new-rich life
abroad and at home, with love-making
that reeks Of trade. 1t is so real that
everybody will think it pictured from
his own neighborhood, and yet it is uni
versal in type and episode and original
in plot.
