TH|RTY.F|vE KANSAS TOWNS ARE TO GET
MOVABLE COOKING OR SEWING SCHOOLS
TO AVOID TYPHOID FEVER.
DR.. Crumbine Tells How to Escape
Being Infected.


Topeka, Kan.-Every year about A.
500 people in Kansas have typhoid
fever and about 400 of them die of 1t.
1t is dreaded almost as much as small
pox by the average person. But it Is
not a contagious disease as is small.
pox 1t is infectious and is much
more easily avoided than contagious
diseases, according to the State Board
of Health. All it takes is care.
The only way anyone can get ty-
phoid fever germs into his system is
through the mouth-unless 1t might
be through a cut or wound. The sum-
mer season is the time when typhoid
fever runs rampant in some sections
of the state and the State Board OF
Health is already issuing warnings,
hoping thereby to cut down the mum.
Der of cases during the summer. The
Board tells how to avoid the disease
and every individual must do that
for himself He must be careful at
home as well as away from home. He
is just as likely to get typhoid germs
from his own caved-in well as from
anybody's we'll Here are the direc-
tons of the Board as to methods of
avoiding the disease:
ITO prevent typhoid fever at home
get the we'll in shape. A good well
must have sound, tight top and
pump or an automatic bucket. A well
with a leaky top or holes around the
sides, or with bucket which is touch
ed with dirty hands and then goes into
the we'll is likely to give rise to ty-
phoid fever
Get the closet in shape. The dis
charge from human beings constitutes
the most dangerous material on the
farm in summer time. 1t should be
cared for as carefully as if it were a
deadly poison. A good closet is the
most important thing on the farm In
the summer time. a good closet
should keep the material dry, off the
ground, away from flies, and should
be cleaned as often as necessary. The
material should be carried away and
buried.
Files carry typnold feVer germs OH
their feet. They are dirty and filthy
insects and spread diseases. Screen
them out of the kitchen, catch or kill
those that get in, and keep them away
from the food, especially the milk.
ITO avoid typhoid fever yourself:
First, wash the hands before eating
anything and do not put them into the
mouth. Second, do not drink any wat
err that you do not know comes from
a good WELL unless it has been boiled
just before drinking. Third, do not
drink milk, unless you know where
it comes from, and know that it has
been carefully looked after in place
where there is no typhoid fever.
Fourth, if you are in strange place,
do not eat anything unless it has re-
Gently been boiled or otherwise heat
ed through and through"
