POOR SEWERAGE SPREADS TYPHOID.

Richmond, Va, July 5, 1911.
Especially The fact that the out
lying districts of many Virginia
towns and cities are lacking in
sewerage arrangements is declared
by DR.. Allen W. Freeman OF the
State Department of Health, in
recent report, to be responsible for
much of the present urban typhoid.
Until sewers are extended, DR..
Freeman declares that it will be
impossible to cffectually prevent
the spread of typhoid in these To-
calities.
The report in question, which
has just been filed with the State
Department of Health, refers to a
small outbreak of typhoid in a
Virginia town, which outbreak was
investigated last week by the ex-
perts of the Department. The In
vestigation was of especial lmpor-
lance, since the town suffered from
typhoid very heavily last season.
When new cases were announced,
the Department sent it's represen-
tatives to the field, fearing another
serious outbreak.
Investigation disclosed the fact,
however, ahat all the cases were
confined to a small area, beyond
the sewer line of the city. The dis
ease had been carried from place to
place by contact and by flies.
Discussing the report this morn
ing, the State Health Commissioner
said: "As long as the sewerage
system of town does not include
all its suberbs; or as long as the
towns do not prescribe sanitary out
buildings for these neglected dis
tricts, it is impossible to completely
eradicate typhoid. THERE'S reason
to believe that numerous persons
carry the germs of typhoid in their
systems after they have recovered
from the disease. When one of
these persons lives in a locality
where there is not proper sewerage,
or where there are insanitary ar
engagements, flies and contact will
enevitably carry the germs to
other persons.

Eddystone Lighthouse.

The Eddystone lighthouse, fourteen
miles off Plymouth. England. and ex-
posed to the full fury Of the south
western seas. was built by Winstanley
in four seasons. Begun In 1896 ana
finished In 100. it was destroyed In
the dreadful storm of 1903. The Sec
ond structure was completed In 17O9
and destroyed In 1865. after 1t had
faced the wind and the waves for
something over forty-six years. The
third tower, finished In 1859 and con-
demned in 1878. was followed by the
present wonderful structure. which
since 1882 has been desying the ele-
ments while it flashed out over the
terrible waters its saving light. Since
the brave Winstanley built the nrst
Eddystone lighthouse similar sare-
guards have sprung up like magic SEN
tinels along all the coasts OF oil the
oceans. and those who sail upon the
great deeps Of the earth are forewarn-
ed and forearmed against the dangers
