TYPHOID FEVER ON THE FARM.
c. j. Blanchard, u. S. Geological
i SucXeN.

C. j. Blanchard, U. S. Geological
Survey.
"More than 40 per cent. Of the farm
wells SO far examined in this State
have been found to be polluted" This
is significant statement made by the
director of State Board Of Health
laboratory, in which several thousand
well waters have been examined. 1t
helps to explain why the death rate
from typhoid fever is greater in the
country than in the city.
1t is a popular notion of city folk
that vacation in the country is a
safeguard against all the diseases to
which the flesh is heir; physicians
recognize this when they send their
patients away from the city. The
country life is unquestionably the ideal
one; the popular cry "back to nature"
has large measure of justification,
yet there are thousands of people who
return from such an outing consumed
with typhoid fever. Why should this
be true?

Typhoid an Index to Water Purity.


A century of experience has shown
that the typhoid rate in any place is
good index of the purity of the water
supply at that place. Therefore, when
we find that the typhoid rate in the
country is higher in the aggregate than
in the city, it can be fairly assumed
that country water supplies are not as
safe as city supplies, and this in spite,
of the fact that many of our city
waters are VIGOROUSLY bad The state
from which the above mentioned testi-
mony comes is typical one SO far as
it's proportion of rural pollution is con-
cerned and that there is no reason to
believe that if the matter were investi-
gated in other states, the conditions
OF farm wells would be in any degree
superior.
In connection with its Investigations
OF the character of water supplies, the
United States Geological Survey has
noted repeatedly that typhoid fever is
continuously prevalent in many rural
sections. In some cases this condition
has been maintained for so many years
that it is accepted by the communities
as one OF the ordinary incidents of life
and becomes matter of general COM
hiclI ohiy uuilu6 pcIlOuS Ol especial
virulence. The facts are, that there
are comparatively few farm wells 10
Gated at points not subject to local
contamination.
Farmers Swear by Their Wells.
1t is commonly observed that nearly
every farmer believes in the purity
OF his well water, especially if the
well has been in use for generations
The fact that his grandfather believed
the water to be pure is sufficient evil
dence for him to defend the we'll, even
though HIS family be devastated by
typhoid fever. It is sometimes the
case that we'll is used even after it's
taste and odor ought to be sufficient to
demonstrate that it is polluted. A
notable instance occurred not long
since, in which certain farmer could
not use the water from his we'll If it
were drawn up by a pump, but If a

PARADE OF VETERANS
FOURTEEN THOUSAND HEROES
OF THE CIVIL WAR IN LINE
At MINNEAPOLIS.

Minneapolis, Aug. 15.-Fourteen
thousand veterans of the Grand Army
braved the discomforts Of q long
march and participated in the fortieth
annual parade in connection with the
national encampment of that organ
ization. Before the parade was over
fully score Of marchers were pros
trated from heat and exhaustion and
two OF those stricken died within an
hour. The fatalities were Thomas A.
Martin Of Washington. senior vice
commander Of the department of the
Potomac, and Colonel Charles w.
Heating Of New Orleans, commander
Of the Joint department Of Louisiana
and Mississippi.
The parade was notable affair as
such things go, well handled, quick
moving and inspiring to see. Every
precaution that could make the parade
a success for the veterans and the
spectators was taken by the authori-
ties. The line Of march, two miles in
length. was wired OFF, nobody being
able to obstruct the column for an in
stant. Hours before the scheduled
time the streets were filed with spec
tators and during its progress they
were packed solidly with cheering, en-
thusiastic humanity. The parade it.
self, which was organized by depart
ments, formed at 9 o'clock and moved
exactly one hour later. The column
was about three hours in passing a
given point.

CHANGES IN TARIFF RATES.
