Great Progress In Sanitation.
The Americans have instituted
other reforms than that in education.
In the matter of public health much
progress has been made. A system Of
sanitation and the drilling of artesian
wells for a better water supply have
lowered the death rate in some places

have been practically eliminated, lep-
ers have been segregated and plague
spots have been made clean and
