HEALTH OFFICER SIGHTS
WARNS PEOPLE OF DAN.
GER In AUGUST.
WHEN THE GERM LADENED
FLIES ARE DRIVEN In
DOORS.

DIR. II. p. Sights, city health officer,
has Just returned from visiting sur
rounding towns and he makes a
startling report concerning typhoid
fever. In an interview with a re-
porter for The Sun today he said:
"Paducah at present is one of the
most healthful cities in Kentucky.
while surrounding towns are in dan
ger OF a typhoid epidemic. In Paris,
Tenn, there are 20 cases; at Hop
kinsville about 10; and at Princeton
only a case is reported. The people
here don't seem to realize the danger
OF typhoid, and IL the germ once
natures there is no way to keep IL
from spreading.
''In homes where there are sanitary
sewer connections and fly screens,
there is little danger of catching ty-
phoid germs. 1t has been proved by
scientists that the fly Is infected and
carries the germ instead OF water
only, as was heretofore considered.
have bought $50 pounds of fly pow
der to be distributed over the unsan-
itary parts Of the city, and have also
instructed several residents to have
weeds cut on their premises .
august is the month which we
have to look out for. and IL the san
Iitary conditions are not good there
probably will be many cases report
ed"
The American Journal of Public
Hygiene says: zone of the most not
able features of our Winnipeg typhoid
has been its constant relation to sea-
son. Prevalence was always slight
in all months up to July. When Au-
gust came the number OF cases always
increased with a bound. Particularly
striking was the fact that as soon as
the evenings began to grow cool and
the flies were driven indoors, the ty-
phoid rate rose; but when the first
hard frost set in a diminutlOn at
once took place.
at was a frequent occurrence to
visit houses and find two or three ty-
phoid patients being cared for in one
room, where the cooking was done
and the food kept, the individual who
was doing the cooking usually acting
in a nursing capacity as we'll. Food.
flies and fingers were always active.
Sometimes the infection is carried
by individuals who work in one place
and live in another. and often by the
agency OF milk and other foods
Again, individual cases occur in the
best portion of the city. in which we
were quite unable to ascertain the
cause. Careful supervision Is exer-
cised over the water supply and
large number of public and private
wells have been closed. Low lots
were drained or filled in, rubbish
heaps were burned or destroyed. lanes
paved or graded. many unsanitary
premises were closed altogether. and
work along these lines is still going
on"
