DISEASE
Will Keep Many Tourists
From Europe
(Leslie's.)

Ueslie's.)
The awful war abroad has brought
us no greater boon than this oppor-
tunity to get acquainted with our own
land, not merely today, this summer,
but for all time to come. Wars ter
rors will not be over with the ceasing
OF the cannon's roar. A more deadly
foe-disease- stalk the ravaged
lands after the cessation of hostili-
ties, and it behooves the traveller to
think of this before planning his trips
abroad. The miles of trenches in
Northern France and Belgium will be
the breeding place of germs. Every
battle field is already a pest region.
The debris of thousands of ruined
towns in Western Europe, unfortu-
nate Poland and Siberia are making
hot beds of pestilence. 1t will take
months to purify the water of streams
supplying these regions before the
disease can be stamped out. The
great war hospitals are being equip
ped to battle with the coming scourg.
es and the stats of all are being en-.
larged with doctors and nurses from
every land to fight the conflict that is
to follow the dawn of peace.
Typhus and cholera, the two most
dreaded of epidemic diseases, it is
predicted by eminent surgeons and
bacteriologists, will ravage Austria
this summer and undoubtedly reach
it's near neighbor and ally, Germany
Thirty thousand cases of typhus have
already been reported in Siberia. In
one town alone, 1t is said, a hundred
patients are dying daily of the dread
aft1iction. Smallpox and scarlet fever
are present in some communities and
cholera is expected with warmer
weather. According to cabled dis
patches, every community on the
main lines of travel is in the clutches
of typhus. Smallpox is also prevalent
in Turkey and Palestine. Thus there
remains but little territory in Europe
immune from the threatened danger
The starvation and privation that will
inevitably follow the war will menace
Europe's health for an indefinite per
iod. 1t will be years before the trav
eler can tour Europe as he did IL
months ago, without lurking fear OF
sickness.

SEWAGE
Disposal Plant Is Formally
Turned Over To The City

An official inspection of the new
sewage disposal plant was made at
/ o'clock Tuesday afternoon by Mayor
Perrine, Engineer Ray s. Blinn and
Director of Safety Williams. Director
of Service White was absent from the
city. The water was turned on by
Contractor William H. Ralston and a
demonstration of the plant was given.
Contractor Ralston stated that the
plant was ready to receive sewage,
which will be turned in sometime this
week.
The cost of the sewage disposal
plant will be $500 in excess of the
appropriation and bond issue made by
the city to pay for the work. The
additional cost was brought about ow-
ing to the fact that the city changed
a number of locations. 1t is probable
that certificates Of Indebtedness will
be issued by the city to pay Contract
OF Ralston.
