Milk Dealers Notified.

MIX dealers VINO are serving milk 1T
houses in which there is typhoid fever are
promptly notified to discontinue serving
milk In bottles at the premises, owing to
the possibility Of such bottles being carried
into the sick room and serving as carriers
of infection to other houses.
1T has been suggested that possibly
flies are the active carriers of the con-
Ia gion which is responsible for the pres
emit outbreak of typhoid fever. The in
vestigations of the department do not
bear out this theory. While the depart
n,ent accepts as proven the statement
that flies may carry typhoid fever infec-
ton, it does not believe that the condi-
tions in this city are favorable to that
mode of disseminating the disease. The
number of box privies is comparatively
small, and it is from box privies that the
greatest danger with respect to flies ex-
lists. Moreover, the history of the city
with respect to this disease does not sup
port the suggestion that flies are re-
sponsible for typhoid fever in the Dis
trict. because the very considerable dim
mutton in the number of box privies in
the city-several thousand having been
done away with in the past ten years
has not resulted in diminution in the
prevalence of typhoid fever. Moreover
the cases do not group themselves within
limited aseas, as would occur IL the flies
We're the chief agents for the dissemina-
tion Of the disease, but are scattered
throughout the city, and, in fact, through
out the District.
There are features connected with the
prevalence of typhoid fever that are not
we'll understood, but 1t may be accepted
as proven that water is the great carrier
of infection and that next to water milk
probably stands as the greatest agency
for the dissemination of this disease. Flies
as carriers Of typhoid fever possibly rank
next In Importance to the agencies above
named. and then. under ordinary condi-
lions, come the use of uncooked oysters
and Of uncooked vegetables.
1T is hardly necessary to add that this
arrangement of the agencies responsible
for the dissemination OF typhoid fever in
by reason OF direct contact with patients
suffering from typhoid fever, because the
danger from this source represents in all
refers only to those In contact with the
patient. and one which the individual In
such contact can and should avoid by his
or her personal efforts.'

Above the average for August. as estab-
lished by many years Of recording typhoid
fever cases In the health office, is the num-
Der so far reported this month. Eleven new
cases were brought to the attention of the
authorities this morning, making a total of
forty-sfx since the first of the month, and it
Is probable that this number will be In
creased before the health office closes this
eveLfrg. August has long been styled the
ty phoid fever month" because every year
sees the disease more prevalent at this time
than 1t was before or is afterward.
AS to the cause of the great spread of
typhoid fever DR.. Woodward this morning
stated his belief that it was almost wholly
due to impure drinking water. and as an
evidence of the strength Of this theory he
pointed to the fact that the disease is not
ccrf1ned to any one section of the city. It
has been urged that flies might be respon-
sfhie for spreading typhoid to some extent.
but the health Office sees no great danger
tary plumbing are very strictly enforced
everywhere In the city.
The following statement was issued by
Health Officer Woodward this morning.
NO cases OF typhoid fever were reported
TO the health department yesterday and no
recoveries and no deaths were recorded
This is possibly due to the fact that but one
delivery of mail Is received on Sundays, as
Is shown by the fact that this morning 8
mail brought reports of sixteen new cases
and of one recovery. Two cases of deaths
or existing cases on the records at noon to-
day was 1866

Ever since the enactment on February
I, loO2, OF the law requiring cases of ty-
phoid fever to be reported to the health de-
partment every case reported has been In.
vestigated by the department These in
Vestigatlons since the autumn of 1902 have
been systematically conducted and a card
prepared for each case showing whether the
patient had been absent from the city and
II so, the place and duration of absence:
whether the premises which the case oc-
CURED were or were not connected with the
pubic sewer and with the public water
service. and whether the house was or was
not well screened against flies The card
SHOWS also the character and the source OF
tne drinking water used by the patient
"hether from the Potomac river or else
where. and whether boiled or filtered. the
source or sources of the milk used preyjous
TO and the milk used after the onset of the
illness, and whether the patient had been
accustomed 10 eat raw oysters or raw vege-
tables. The relation of the case under in
vestgation to other cases. if any from
which the disease may have been contract
ed was also fully covered in the investiga-
ton and the results duly recorded sum,
mary OF these Investigations Is published
annually as Il part of the report of the
heaith department. and the cards are avail
able Tor further analysis at any time that
IL may be deemed necessary
I'm view of the relation existing between
typhoid fever and the milk supply every
case Of typhoid fever reported in which no
Fdueiit resided IN the District at the time
OF the onset of the disease, Is charged on a
record card against the dealer from whom
the patient received milk prior to being
taken SICK, separate card being provided
for each dealer. AS entries are ma de from
day to day on these record cards they are
scrutinized TO determined whether the num-
Der or cases reported against any individual
dealer is excessive-that Is whether thk,
number is out of proportion to the size of
the business which such dealer conducts,
the department being reasonably well adj
vised as to the amount of business done
by the various dairymen by reason of It's
rnilk-inspection service. AS soon as it au-
pears that any given dealer Is being
charged with more than his share Of ty-
photd fever cases within limited period,
an investigation is instituted, not only at
his establishment and among his employees
in this city, but at the various farms from
which his milk supply Is derived. If there
is reason to believe that the disease has
been conveyed through milk from any par
ticular source the sale of such milk within
the District Is promptly forbidden

The people have been stirred up 10 q
need of national action if they are to take
q nlace alongside the nations of the world
Many Chinese who had gone abroad had
also returned to their homes and they had
done missionary work In quiet way IN
explaining the restrictions that are placed
upop Chinese immigration in this country.
But they were not of the class that felt
these restrictions. or had much influence
among people of influence. 1t was only
when the great merchants of China came
to visit the fair that the news OF Chlnese
restriction in this country was carried
home in a way to affect trade and COM
merce.
1t is said here that former Minister Wa.
who has popularity been given great credlt
for bringing about the boycott, actualy
had but little to do with 1t. What. u
ANYTHING, was done by him to promote the
boycott is merely matter OF conjecture,
but in a general way men who are most
familiar with the inside workings of that
great movement to boycott American goods
say that it is wholly chargeable TO the
merchants who visited the fair.
The question as to what can be done in
order to raise the boycott is receiving
great deal of attention. 1t is now said that
a mere amelioration of the manner or en-
forcing the law will not be sufhcient 10
pacify the angry Cinnamon. What they are
apt to hold out for Is said to be a plain law
that will apply the restriction of immigra-
tion only toward Chinese laborers They
want the door of America wholly open to
other Chinese, and they do not want an at
tempt made on the part of the government
to classify the Chinese as merchants. stu
dents etc. etc., which classifications, they
say, do not exist in China and should not
be made here.
The Chinese realize how difficult 1t will be
to get congressional action to give them
what they want. It will be matter of
great tact If the President is able to come
TO an understanding with them in such
way that the influential merchants OF China
will be willing to lift the boycott against all

Unable to Give Bond.

George ]. West was today arraigned in

larceny. the specific offense being the theft
of about $50 worth of Jewelry from MUIR

and waived the preliminary hearing before

the action of the grand jury. and the bond
in the case was fixed by Judge Mills at $500.
West was unable to give the bond and he
was committed to jail.
West was arrested by Detectives Muller
and Cornwell of the central Office. after
Mackay had reported the loss of the Jewelry
to the police. 1t had been left in his trunk
in his room in a boarding house, and was
subsequently missed.
