Protection Against Typhoid.

, WAsHINGTON,- Feb. 13-The men,
ace OF phoid fever In country die.
tricts-a me ace arising from polluted
drinking water-is thoroughly consid.
cred in a report by Myron L. Fuller,
OF the United States geological sur.
vey, in which the various sources OF
pollution are indicated and sugges
tions are given for means of protec
tion.
Typhoid fever rates are usually
greater in the country than in cities,
despite the prevailing belief that
farms, isolated as they are from areas
of congested population, are ideally
situa for obtaining pure and whole
some water.
Failure to protect adequately the
wells in farming districts is given in
the surveys report as the most com.
mon reason for their pollution, and
ignorance of the manner in which
CROWD water circulates is the cause
of f,ne faulty protection. Chemical
analysis is not rated high by Mr.
Fuller as means of detecting pol
luted water, for careful common.
sense inspection of the district ia US.
