DEATH MAY LURK
IN SWIMMING POOL
Typhoid, Tubercular and
Other Germs Caan Be
DeDOSited in Water.

Recent discoveries in regard to ty-
phOid germs, which brought out the
fact that many typhoid patients give
off the germs all the rest OF their lives
has attracted attention to the dangers
of swimming pools If a person who is
a source Of cOntagiOn bathes in a pool
and communicates 1t, any other swim
mer who gets a mOuthful Of water may
catch typhoid fever. One of the wealth
lest residents Of Bar HarbOr, Ne, built
a 100000 swimming pool in his house,
and his eldest daughter caught typhoid
fever and died from the pollution of the
water in the pool
The very newest and unexpected dis
cOYery that microbes of tuberculosis
come out through the perspiratiOn Of a
consumptive, is another good reason
for avoiding swimming pools. DR..
Piery, of Lyons. France, injected sew
eral hundred guinea pigs with perspi-
ration Of cOnsumptives and found that
A percent Of the animals acquired tU-
berculOsis.
DR.. Piery also found that microbes
of many other serious diseases creep
out through the pores Of the skin and
drop off or brush off the surface of the
body. This is an entirely new discOv-
cry and suggests the wisdom Of re-
framing from the unnecessary and
widespread habit of shaking hands
with strangers
