Having established this premise, the
Health commissioner warns the mid

things and to be careful OF his physi-
cal side II he wishes to continue at
work. Considering that Doctor Dix
on himself reached the age of G5 years
last March, though he doesn't look It
he ought to know what he's talking
about. He says:
For all that has been said to the
contrary this Is the middle aged man s

but that q man reaches middle age

again usher 1900 victims to their
graves. Plainly, the practical apnIi-
cation of our knowledge Is far and
away behind the scientific data In our
possession. and q large proportion OF
the population Is ignoring the very
principles which have been SO. well
established. For this reason. health
officers realize that further steps to-
ward prevention must be the result
of more general enlightenment and
tn better education of the mass Of the
people.
Typhoid Abolition.
The avoidance of the infection rests
primarily upon community action. The
proper protection of water supplies,
the eradication Of filth and all iss &C
compan imnnts, the attainment OF q
decent standard in the disposal Of ex-
crementitious material. the regula-
ton Of diaries and the safeguarding
OF milk are all problems which only
communities as whole can Settle.
Nevertheless, this does not absolve
the individual citizen from RESPONSE
bility. and he can do much for his own
protection.
Clean Up!
The eradication of filth Is in part
the duty Of every citizen, and each
should see that his own surround
ings are in satisfactory condition.
He should guard against carelessness
in the maintenance and preparation
Of food and withhold his patronage
from those who disregard the rules
of cleanliness, remembering that the
foods which are most subject to con-
tamination are milk and its products,
oysters and vegetables. The role Of
flies in the dissemination of the in
lection is now generally recognized.
The elimination of such NY breeding
places as garbage. manure and filth
is most essential, but the proper
screening Of houses and the adoption
of destructive measures are also OF
great prophylactic value. II. in spite
of these precautions, the disease de-
velops. 1t then becomes the duty Of
every citizen to implicitly follow the
instructions given in order that the
safety of others may not be imperil-
ed. bearing in mind tho fact that
