Dairyman Caused Typhoid.


CareleSSness on the part of one
dairy imam in cleansing milk bottles
and utensils is responsible for nearly
all the twenty-three cases of typhoid
reported in the last few weeks from
Parsons to the state board of health,
according to DR.. j. J. Sippey, state
epidemiologist. Only one death has
been reported to the board, and the
report was that the epidemic was not
spreading any further since the
dairy-man and his well had been sep
arated as business partners in the
typhoid business.
The dairyman was careful about
washing and sterilizing the milk bot
ties returned to him, and scalded all
his utensils, according to the inves-
legations of the state health authori-
ties. But after washing them prop
erly with hot water, he, following the
customs of housewives from time i'm
memorial, had to rinse them. And he
rinsed them with cold well water.
When analysed the well water was
found to be contaminated and pretty
well loaded with typhoid germs. The
well was ordered condemned by DR.. S.

board of health.

the purchase Of MORO is wondering
who got the best of it.
Panama City's water supply Is de-
rived from the Rio Grande reservoir,
little lake quite close to the canal.
For obvious reasons bathing or wad-
ing in it is forbidden, and all around it
are signs stating that fact. Recently
the wife of a member of the canal
commission was entertaining friends
from the states, and in the course of
their wanderings one day they came
upon the reservoir. They were tired
and dusty and the cool water looked
so inviting that they all took off their
shoes and stockings and went in wad-
ing. Unfortunately for them, one of
the efficient zone policemen came upon
them and arrested the whole party.
They were taken before the nearest
magistrate, and despite the pleading
of the commissioner, who had been
hastily called to the rescue, each one
was compelled to pay fine and listen
to a sharp lecture on law-breaking and
sanitation.
In one respect at least, Panama is
like no other Latin-American city that

residence quarter. Now that we have

Tourists fiocked to the canal zone
in such increasing numbers that the
Panama Railway company-which
means the United States government
decided to erect a new Washington
hotel in Colon to supplant the old hos
telry of that name. The architect de
signed a handsome four-story struc-
ture of concrete and, to take full adj
vantage of the cool breezes from the
Atlantic, provided in his plans for a
large roof garden and two dumb wait
ers running up to it. The builders made
the roof all right, and put in the dumb
walters, but when the hotel was near
ing completion some one discovered
there was no opening in the roof for
the aforesaid dumb walters. The nee
essary changes would cost several hun
dred dollars, and the government Of
fetal who passed upon the expendi-
lures decided against making them as
the hotel already had cost more than
had been expected. Consequently
those two dumb walters run up to the
ceiling of the fourth story and there
stop, while the roof garden, having no
service, remains unopened.

New records for Firenen.

Two men, members of volunteer IRE
companies in Kansas, were severely
injured in the holly contested dry
hose race at the Kansas State Fire
mems Tournament at Kansas City,

twenty men each had crossed the
finish line two of that number had

Gus record was 20 As seconds. The
Marysville team won, with Solomon
second, Beloit third and Wamego
fourth.

athletic events that would rival the
feature races of the volunteer fire

Speaking of the blasting reminds me
that one of the very high up engineers
on the canal job is exceedingly afraid
of dynamite. He is also a strict dis
ciplinarian and does not allow the
workmen to loaf. Whenever one of
the frequent "doby shots" or small
blasts is to be fired, the nearest steam
shovel emits a series of short, quick
toots and the men scurry to cover. As
soon as Mr. Engineer appears in the
cut to see that the laborers are losing
no time, the warning whistles are
heard from steam shoveIs all along the
way and he speedily returns to his Of
flee on the hill, leaving the unprodded
workmen to resume their leisurely
gait.

Colon, c. Frequently the off,
Gals of the Republic of Panama
the minor ones-have been ridi-
culed for the combination of stu
pidity and pomposity that governs
their conduct Sometimes the rid
icule is not deserved, but often it is.
Some months ago an American resi-
dent of the city of Panama imported
pair of riding boots from the states,
and in his manifest submitted to the
native customs authorities he SO listed
them, with the price, $3.50. The paper
was returned to him with curt instruc-
lions to correct it. Not knowing how
he had erred, he consulted the customs
man and was told the boots must be
listed as two separate articles, thus:
zone riding boot, value $4.75; one rid
ing boot, value S4.75.'' Mr. American
complied silently, and received his
boots.
