GUARDING AGAINST TYPHOID
A Filth Disease That Can BE Pre-

The fact is well know that typhoid
fever is "fith' disease, says the Taco
ma Ledger. Pure air, pure water and
good drainage are the conditions in
which an epidemic OF typhoid fever is
impossible. 1t is the duty OF municipal
authorities to guard the water supply
from pollution; to provide a sanitary
system of sewerage to clean the streets
and bv every practical means to guard
against conditions that are detrimental
to life and health. When the authorities
of all cities and large towns are thor
oughly aroused to a sense of their duty
and opportunity in this direction, the
death rate will be materially reduced.
There are some communities in this
country in which intelligent effort is ex-
pended to safeguard the public health.
Ann Arbor, the seat OF the University of
Michigan, is such place. The dean of
the medical faculty of the university, in
recent public address, told how an
epidemic OF typhoid was averted at that
city. Every two weeks since the water
was first put in this town." he said,
"there hasbeen a thorough chemical and
meteorological examination of the water
4 And when there has been any suspicion
that the water was not just right, We
/ nave examined III every udy. 'll one &C.
/ cason, at least, we wee threatened with
1 just such an epidemic as occurred in
/ Ithaca, y. Y, year ago. Five cases
of typhoid fever appeared among the
university students within few days.
The water was bad. The water was the
| source of the trouble. 1t was at this
1 time taken from four or five springs
Immediately we began an examination
of the water from each one of these
/ springs, and found the one that furnished
/ the bad water, and the water from it
was Immediately cut off. One night
every hydrant in the city was opened and
the reservoirs We're empticd then they
were retilled and allowed to run out
again, and the walls were thoroughly
cleaned. And there was not another
case of typhoid fever"
The authorities at Ann Arbor were
reused by the outbreak Of five cases of
typhoid fever.
Therea good many people in town
who, acting on the advice Of PHYSICIANS,
will not use the water for drinking With
ont boiling it. Tacoma should not be
Indifferent about such an important mat
ter as the purity OF its water supply.

OUR RULE IN PORTO RICO.

| When it comes to be summed up what
has been accomplished in Porto Rico since
| the Island passed under our Flag, the re
suits will be found to be quite wonderful
and to justify all that has been boosted
| as to American progress. When we took
the Island from Spain, there were about
80 miles of narrow-gage railroad in
wretched condition, and only 100 miles of
| wagon road. The railroad lines have been
| extended in all directions put upon a self
| supporting bas sis, and their traffic has more
| than doubled. A contract has been made
for the construction Of an electric road
across the Island, and there will also be
a belt line which will reach clear around
| the Island. sending off lateral lines into
the interior. Nearly as many miles of
wagon road have been built since the
American occupation as were constructed
during the centuries of Spanish rule. The
telegraph system has been put in first
class shape, and the number of stations
quadrupled. The principal production
Sugar has increased 80 per cent; coffee
is recovering from the effects Of the hur-
| ricane of '98, and the production of to-
bacco has increased about so per cent
Under Spain there was nothing worthy
of the name of schools in the Island, but
now every municipality has a good pri-
mary school, while there is a High School
at San Juan, normal school at Rio Pied
| ros, agricultural schools, and three indus
trial and trade schools. Absolutely ne
elected little children have been gathered
up and put into institutions where they
are properly fed, clothed and educated,
and everywhere the Island shows the most
marked benefits from the arrival of the
old Flag.
