LESS TYPHOID FEVER
REDUCED FIFTY PER CENT BY
STATE CAMPAIGN.
State Board of Health Says "Swat the
Fly" Crusade Caused Decrease
in Colorado.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Denver-Scientific medical discov-
cry and the almost universal swat
the fly" campaign waged throughout
Colorado during the past summer has
resulted in reduction of nearly fifty
per cent in the number of typhoid
cases reported for the first nine
months this year under the number re-
ported for a like period in 1911, ac'
cording to report of the State Board
of Health.
The report shows that the percent
age of deaths from the disease is even
less this year than last and the de-
struction of the germ-carrying house
fly is considered by the board to be
the most important factor. The list
of fatalities for nine months this year
is one-third of that for the first nine
months in 1911. The lessened mortal
ity rate, according to DR.. Paul s.
Hunter, is also due to the recent dis
covery of a typhoid serum which has
proved to be unusually successful.
81 believe" said DIR. Hunter. that
in few years, perhaps not more than
ten. that deaths from typhoid in Colo
RADIO will be reduced to nil.
people have come to realize the i'm
portancc of precaution against ty-

sary it is to. destroy flies and make
conditions about their homes sanitary.
1t is interesting to note how almost
universally now. housewives Will take
a few minutes every day and go about
vigorously swatting files in their
homes. This is bound to bring about
results that we have strived for In the
past decade.
Diaries are kept cleaner, conditions
about barns are more sanitary and
close inspection of cows and provi-
sions for sterilization of bottles, ETC.,
has done the rest. 1t is practically
impossible now for flies to communi-
cate disease to milk within a barn be-
cause of the screen doors required.
