WARNING TO vAcAnONIsTs.

With pure drinking water and excel
lent sanitary conditions generally,
Newark may be looked on by those
confined by business cares TO spend
all the summer days here as desirable.
Those who have the opportunity to go
to mountain or shore on vacation
trips should therefore realize a sense
OF responsibility that the beautiful con-
ditions of home are at least duplicated.
II lie an interesting medical theory for
instance that Ihtose pho hsbitually
drink pure filtered water rre more
likely TO suffer from occasional polluted
water than those who have regularly
a less pure supply. The power of re-
sistance has become lessened. The les
son therefore for summer tourists. is
TO insiststhat the water supplied, par
ticularly in country districts where
wells abound has been boiled II that
the kitchen be screened TO prevent
food pollution by flies, and the chamber
to prevent the entrance OF malaria
carrying mosquito.
