Look to Your Drainage.

The following is taken from recent
resume of bulletin of the State Board
of Health
'sThe Health Officers Bulletin for May,
Just issued, reminds health officers that
typhoid fever may be expected to begin
its regular summer rise about this time.
The bulk of the summer typhoid, it is
stated, is still due in Maryland in tn
majority of instances to polluted water.
Prompt action on the part of the
health officers will prevent large
amount of unnecessary sickness anu
deaths, and the investigation of all pub
lc water supplies and as many private
supplies as possible during the early
summer months is recommended.
Many persons buying suburban prop
erty think they have secured good and
sanitary drainage, when in reality the
so called "systems" in their homes are
but traps to breed disease. We offer you
a system which has received the approval
of the best sanitary engineers and the
health authorities. 1t is an irrigation
plant that can be used on any suburban
lot that is as much as 150 feet deep, and
will cost only $40 and upward.
Consultations will cost nothing and
estimates will be cheerfully furnished.

workmanship at the most reasonable
