the purpose of erecting a mill at

Storage bins will also be erected

TYPHOID FEVER REDUCED
in RURAL COMMUNITIES

Reduction in typhoid fever and i'm
provement in sanitary conditions have
followed the extensive Investigations
of rural communities carried on by
the United States public health serv-
ice in cooperation with local and
state health officers, according to the
annual report of the surgeon general
of that service. During the past fis-
cal year 1860 rural homes in eight
different states were visited and
many of them revisited. In each of
these homes information was obtained
as to the prevalence of disease and
insanitary conditions and a complete
sanitary survey of the premises con-
Quoted. This was followed by re-
inspections to determine if remedial
measures had been instituted. In but
a relatively small percentage of the
cases did the persons concerned, after
having their attention drawn to the
danger of a particular unhygienic
condition, fail to inaugurate correc-
tive measures. Stimulus was given
to the work by means of public lee
lures, the formation of active SAM
tary organizations, and the enlisting
of all public-spirited citizens in the
campaigns for reform. Public build
ings were also inspected and local au-
thorities given expert advice in solv-
ing such sanitary problems as the
disposal of e~xcreta, the prevention of
soil pollution, and the maintenance of
pure water supplies.
The surveys made during the year
1914 had shown that in rural COM
munitics less than one per CEN of the
homes had sanitary toilets and that
more than fifty per cent of the peo-
pie were using water from polluted
sources. This condition, according to
the public health service, made the
rural sanitation question loom large
among the matters vitality affecting
the welfare Of the nation. Following
these studies and as a result of the
interest aroused, the typhoid fever
rate, an excellent Indicator of the
sanitary status of a community, has,
in some places, frequently been cut to
one quarter of it's previous figure. In
Berkeley county, West Virginia, the
cases of typhoid fever were reduced
from 40 to 40 in one year. In Or
ange county, North Carolina, the
"ural sanitation campaign resulted in
4 reduction of the cases from SO
