TRYING TO HEAD OFF THE FEVER
EXPERTS TO LOOK INTO TRAIN
AND BOAT WATER TANKS.
Adoption Called to Insanitarv Pro-
visions During the Summer
Excursion Season,

In a further effort to determine the
cause of the prevalence of typhoid fever
In the District and adopt preventive meas
ures an examination Of the drinking
water furnished on excursion boats and
trains and at nearby resorts by EXPERTS
CT the health Office has been recommend
ed by Commissioner West
The attention of the Commissioners to
the necessity for this line of investiga-
ton was called by w Scantlebury of No
l'i jackson street, Anacosta.
knowing your anxiety at the great in
crease OF typhoid fever in the District
respectfully rendering a few suggestions
as to the probable cause at this time of
year, he wrote the District heads Dur
ing the excursion season the disease is
most prolif1c, SO pardon my statements
urom observaton) of certain facts in
the matter.
Many of the river boats have tanks
or coolers for drinking water hidden in
some dark closet and filled from above
with just a snowy plated sp;got ard
alcove having one common cup for all.
The District water put in is beyond sus-
piclon. but | have seen coolers that in
side are not fit to use from not being
able to be taken down and examined and
cleaned.
Bad Water at Pleasure Resorts.
Another mistake is that they are too
small for the round trip, so have to be
filled at the pleasure resort with water
That is practically death-dealing. All cool
ers for the publ use should be placed in
sight and made to take out for cleaning
1t is also very essential that outlets
should drain the bottom and not leave
one or two inches of water in them. so
when they are again flied this possibly
stale water does not mix with the fresh
supply.
Let Your experts quietly and without
notice make test and search of the stuff
and means supplied to spread the dread
ed typhoid on some cars, steamboats, and
pleasure resorts: then no surprise will be
felt as 10 the amount Of sickness. but
rather that II is not considera oily worse"
Health Officer Woodward declared to-
day that he thought an investigation of
the drinking water supplied on the eX-
cursion boats and trains running out OF
Washington and al the resorts which
Washingtorians frequent would result in
good The public health and marine hos
pital service has been asked by the health
department 10 investigate reports that
river water was supplied in the water
coolers of some of the excursion steam
ers. There are, however. no records at
| the health office indicating that cases of
typhoid fever came from contaminated
water at summer resorts or on the eX-
cursion trains boats
II is pointed out that MANY of the re-
sorts around Washington are in the ad-
joining states of Maryland and Virginia
and that technically the duty of examin-
ing their water supplies devolves upon
the state authorities. But he believed
that, masmuch as the chief patrons of
these resorts are from the District there
would be no objection to an examination
of the water by the District health de-
partmen,.

RAISING tn. Colt by Hand.

.,. 49, y - 800
It not infrequently happens that
colts are left motherless while YET
quite young. Such colts are not an en-
tire failure. They can be reared by
hand and thrive quite well where the
proper care is given them. If the colt
has had even one or two feeds of ita
mothers milk it is well started, but
where it has had none it is In a worse
shape. In such case the bowels should
should first be opened with a dose OF
castor oil, and a short while after that
It can get its first feed. To make q
substitute Of its mothers milk take
fresh cows milk, add to it o%ne-fourth
water and sweeten somewhat with
sugar. This should be fed to the colt
at blood temperature four Or five times
a day. After the colt is a few weeks
to a month old it can be fed q little
oatmeal or other soft food. Even be.
fore this time it will begin nibblipg
soft grasses. Although the colt must
be started in very slowly on these
feeds, it will be found that they help

Feeding Farm Hands.

Every farmers wife knows what ire
mendous appetites farm hands usually
have: but while they eat we'll they
work well, too.
Here's a good suggestion about feed
ing farm hands. Give them plenty
Of Quaker Oats. A big dish of
Quaker Oats porridge with sugar and
cream or milk is the greatest break
fast in the world for a man who needs
vigor and strength for a long days
work. The man that eats Quaker Oats
plentifully and often is the man who
does good work without excessive ia
tigue. There is a sustaining quality
In Quaker Oats not found in other
foods, and for economy it is at the
head Of the list. Besides the regular
size packages Quaker Oats Is packed
In large size family packages. with

The Raven

Writing on "Birds In Christian les
end and symbol' in the National Re.
view, Rev. r. L. Giles says:
The raven is looked upon with divid.
ed feelings. He is the bird Of Ill
omen" par excellence. "Corvo di NAL
augurio" Is indeed the Italian equiv
alent Of the phrase and "Unglnck-
srabe" the German one. According to
the fathers. he is the emblem Of PRO
c%rastination, with his cry of "Cras.
cras"-"Tomorrow. tomorrow" His
not having returned to the ark has al.
ways been ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS him. Yet
he, too, is a pious bird. He played his
part in the Christmas mystery. It was
said that at the hour of the great birth
the crock crowed "Christus natus est"
the raven croaked "Quando?" the rook
cawed "Hac nocte." the OK mooed
*Ubi?" the sheep bleated bethlehem"
and the ass prayed "Eamus." This is
found as early as the fourth century.

Pias In the Urcnaro.


A writer in Rural New Yorker saTs
that before the pigs are turned on to 9
clover sod they should have nose rings
not for the good of the pig, but fol
protection Of the sod. It is but little
trouble to insert the ready made wire
rings, which cost 15 cents per 100, as
sorted sizes. The nippers for placing
the rings cost 20 cents each. Place
ring in the nippers, and while the pig
is eating reach down and place the
opening IN the ring over the grlstla
part Of the nose, close the nippers
quickly and the Job is finished. We
have placed forty rings in their nosei
within twenty minutes. When we

An Incident Of Whistlsr,s Student
Days In Paris.
The early scenes in ''Trilby" have
shown % the hilarious squalor Of the
student life in Paris when Whistler
Joined the studio that Gleyre carried
On In succession to Delaroche. It was
the Bohemia, barely modernized, Of
MurgerS novel, and the shifts to
which these raw recruits IN art de-
scended furnished Whistler for life
with some of his raciest stories. Once
when an American friend unearthed
him Whistler was living on the pro.
ceeds Of a wardrobe. One hot day he
pawned his coat for an iced drink.
Invited once to the American embassy,
he had to borrow Poynter's dress suit.
But the best story of these frolicsome
days arises from the eternal copying
In the Louvre, either on commission
or on "spec," which kept them alive
between remittances. Whistler's chum,
Ernest Delannoy, had done a gorgeous
replica Of V%eronese's Marriage Feast

1t on every dealer up and down both
sides Of the Seine until the first price
Of 500 francs had dropped with sew

then 5. Suddenly the dignity Of art
asserted itself.
On the Point des Arts they lifted the
