London. August 31.-The pos

1t was pointed out that in
most of the countries there Is

The ease with which divorce

was referred to in paper by
Professor F, p Walter, of McGill

commended on the fact that a

Divorce, he said, had become
a primary necessity of life in the

No Hope for Remedy.
One speaker thought there was
no hope of any remedy for the

some effective voice in determin-

MUCH TYPHOID
In THE STATE
THORNTOWN AND NEW
CASTLE EACH REPORT
ED 80 CASES.
Cause More Fewer Than Infected
Water, Says Health Officer
in Urging Sewers.

Thirty cases of typhoid fever
have baffled the health officials
OF Thorntown, Indiana; there
are at least thirty cases at New
castle and epidemics are threat
ened in various other parts OF
the state. The department OF
foods and drugs OF the State
Board of Health has sent out 81
containers for water, issued on
request as means of shipping
water samples to the department
for analysis. But three contain
ers are in the office and tigere
are about twenty-five requests for
containers on file received from
various parts of Indiana.
The trouble is, persons who
attribute. typhoid fever to the
condition of the water used for
drinking purposes are frequently
mistaken" said II. +. Barnard,
state food and drug commission
er Yesterday. THE real trou-
bic more frequently lies in the
proximity OF surface vaults to
seats of infection.
Analysis Often Fail.
1--WE have made repeated an
alysis of water in the laboratory
to fix the cause OF typhoid fever
and in many cases we have TALL
ed to find anything wrong. Per-
sonal inspections have revealed
the cause of the disease and the
up-ground vault is, in many in
stances, held responsible.
I'm congested centers the dan
gers OF the surface vault to the
health of the community can not
be estimated. Many cities have
excellent sewer systems, for
which they have paid immense
amounts of money, but the peo-
pie do not use them. There
are 1900 vaults in indianapolis
and probably $4,000 are within
the reach OF seewr. Greenburg
has 400 or 800 open vaults, with
one of the best sewer systems
in the state. The city was
bonded for 100000 a few wears
ago to establish the sewers but
the people so far have not recog-
nized the fact that it was con-
stucted to be used. Some one
ought to write a tract on "The
Value of a Utilized Sewer"
Every city should have an or
dlnance against surface vaults.
When called upon to investigate
a seat OF typhoid infection we
find a number Of vaults and or
dered them cleaned up. This,
however is only temporizing. The
results are not permanent"
Speaking of water as a source
of typhoid. Mr.. Barnard said a
common fallacy throughout the
state is that a driven we'll is a
against typhoid On
the contrary, he said. the fact
that if it is deep enough to go
stratum of soil that
is impervious TO germs.
Sink Wells Far Down.
"The ordinary driven well'
continued Mr.. Barnard. is moth
ing but a surface we'll after
all. Unless the water is be
low hard pan. it offers no more
against typhoid infec-
ton that it it were shallow. In
Thorntown 90 per cent of the
wells are driven. according to
the citizens but probably so per
cent have been driven through
dug wells and the water is per-
to seep down the pipes
from the portion that is dug.

S22,530.70.
Expenses of Entire Board Will
Amount to More Than
100000.

Fourteen months of the opera

count has cost the state a total
of S22. 5000 as shown by figures
compiled in the office OF the audi
tor OF state for the expenditures
to date. OF this amount $1S,-
1913 has been spent since the
beginning OF the present fiscal
wear. October /, 1909. The
Governor has contributed to the
payment OF the expense in the
sum OF S2,926.64 from his civil
and military contingent fund for
office supplies, stationery and
stamps. not provided for by the
general assembly, by which the
department was created.
There are no exact totals on
the expense OF examinations to
counties, townships, and cities or
ON the amount charged back to
officials. 1t is said, however,
that the amount charged against
officials as a result OF eXamina-
ton is about twice as much as
the total expenses OF operating
the law. Thus far, therefore,
the public has gained greatly in
financial way under the opera
ton OF the law, even after paying
all expenses, including city,
township and county expenses.
Aside from salaries, the cost OF
postage has been the largest
item of expense of the boards
operations. This class of sup
plies for the fourteen months has
cost $3.50, due to the large num-
Der OF samples OF forms sent out
and to the transmission OF re-
ports from the field examiners.
Salaries of chief and deputy ex-
