spread epidemics Of ty-
phoi1 fever, many Of
which have been shown
to originate in the con-
tamination Of & we'll or a
spring. A very striking
one occurred at PlyPr
outh. Pa, in 1885, which
was investigated b Y
Shakespeare. The town
with a population of
5000 was in part sup
piled with drinking wa
ter from a reservoir fed
by a mountain stream.
During January, Febru-
ary and March, in a cot
tage by the side Of and
at a distance Of from so
to 80 feet from this
stream, a man was i'll
with typhoid fever.
THE attendants were
in the habit at night
of throwing out the ev-
acuations on the ground
toward the stream. Dur
ing these months the
ground was frozen and
covered with snow. In
the latter part Of March
and carly in April there
was CONSIDERABLE rain
fall and a thaw in which
a large part Of the three
months accumulation of
discharges was washed
into a brook, not 60 feet
distant. At the very
time Of this thaw the
patient had numerous
discharges. About the
10th of April cases of
typhoid fever broke out
in the town. appearing
for a time at the rate OF
so per day. In all about
1000 people were at
tackled. An immense
majority Of all the cases
were in the part Of the
the town which receiv-
ed water : from the i'm
fected reservoir.
EVEN milk-barn epi-
denies are being
traced in a surprisingly
large number Of cases to
contamination of t h e
milk by bacillus-carriers
at the time Of collection

tribution.

Kind Of a "Most." Widespread adj

an "OutpOurin&' OF ten indignant

there is something the matter with

any larger degree of satisfaction to
the various elements Of our 100. 900

No one claims that the school system
is perfect, but it is producing bet
ter results than any that has yet been
devised, and it is difficult to con-
vince the substantial citizens Of this
community that the removal Of Mr..
Bruce would make the situation bet
ter. He is able, conscientious and
painstaking, and should be support
ed, instead of being made the victim
of abuse and Misrepresentation. The
fight against Mr.. Bruce is purely per-
sonal and malicious. and those who
are fostering this campaign are try
ing to grind an axe at the expense
OF the peace and wcl!-bcing of the
