PRAISE FOR YAKIMA

to some breaks in the service pipes,

| mains. These mains were all in the
region of the typhoid outbreak. AS
soon as tho condition was realized
the water supply arrangements were
changed.
THE town of North Yakima, DIR.
| Lumsden says. can hardly be sep
arated by any hard and fast line from
the farming region Of the valley. The
farm will consist Of 81 couple Of
acres with a house and then another
couple of acres Nearly everybody
keeps horse, because conditions do
not favor the use of machinery for
working big farms. There are more
horses than in the average commun-
ity and consequently more flies. In
many ways condition were unsani-
tary.
when the business men found the
situation was going to react on the
business interests of the community
they got busy They appointed a
city and county health officer, the
best man they could find, and recon-
mended by the physicians. They paid
him enough to make him independ-
ent of private practice and stipulated
that he should devote his whole time
to the work.
League Is Organized
Then they formed sanitation
league and admitted to membership

were approved by the health authori-
district is not connected with the
sewer system, the health authorities
wait until it is vacated and then con-
denim it. That condemnation notice
is kept tackled to the front and it
Is not allowed to be rented until the
connection has been made. The city
health office keeps a museum Of san
itary appliances, and this is visited by
many people every day.
1.-THE Sanitation League has divid-
ed the town into districts, with two
members of the league in each dis
trict, and the few people who are not
voluntarily cleaning up are to be
prosecuted as object lessons The
city has even put fly traps on the
street-big things. four feet high and
three feet in diameter; these catch
as much as half bushel of flies a
week, but the authorities say they
realize that the fly traps are only
mildly palliative measure and that
for every thousand flies caught there
are a billion at liberty. What they
are going after are the stables.
1.-THE health authorities realize that
contact is one of the great sources
of typhoid, and as soon as there is a
case that the physician has reason
even to suspect is typhoid, he re-
ports it as suspicious and a city
nurse is sent to the house. If there
is not a trained nurse on duty and
the family is not taking the right
sanitary precautions, she shows them
how and returns as often as is nee
essary till the sanitation is propely
managed.
1.-THE returns for the regular sum-
mer typhoid will not be available for
some months yet, but the valley is
giving the rest of the country an
object lesson in what can be done by
action in sanitary line

actual cost of tuition. In the book
let are specimens of work done by
students before they took thes eles-

prove that a compostor can benefit
greatly by instruction through cor

with an ordinary oil wagon, could be
distributed through the valley to the
various growers in such quantities as
they may need to fill their heaters
With the heaters once filled, no more
oil would be needed unless--on ac-
count of an unusually cold night
the fires might have to be started. IN
most of the orchards elsewhere, and
especially where the grower is a long
distance from an oil supply, it Is nee
essary to have cement tanks under
the ground in which to store the oil
until it Is required. This will not be
necessary in the Puyallup valley. as
the Standard Oil company always
carries a supply of this kind of oil,
both in Seattle and Tacoma. and can,
therefore. take care of all ordinary
requirements within a few hours af-
ter receiving notice.
