TYPHOID FEVER 4B4TES.
THE Tribune's Exposure of Polluted

this city than at any time since 1903 1t at
the beginning OF that month that The Tribune
described the conditions in the watershed and

The chart shows a steady decline in the

yesterday that if the disease could be kept at its

The upper part of the city. above 72d street
has the majority of cases this year. the Harlem
district containing the bulk. The East Side seems
10 be almost immune. And this reversal of con-
ditions IS attributed to the pollution of the
watershed last spring and to the improved quail

persistent educational work Of the Health De-
partnent.
The supply of pasteurzed milk used among
the poorer residents of the city was not as
large last year il is this year, and the edu-
cational work had not progressed as far. A
doctor engaged in the summer educational work
and one who believes strongly in pasteurizing
the milk supply said yesterday that the cor; .
parative absence of typhoid on the East Side
was a striking commentary on the value Of the
work being done there and OF the Importance
of a pure supply of milk.
Or. Darlington. the Health Commissioner, said
yesterday that with the present persistent in
