HEALTH STATEMENT

The following statement regardins the typhoid situation was officially is- sued by the health department last night:
 While the number of new cases of typhoid being reported from day to day is much smaller than when the epi- demic was at its height, the record is large enough to serve as warning against the slightest indifference on the part of the public. The precautions that are necessary to prevent the spread of the disease are so elaborate and so time consuming that it is easy for the untrained to make mistakes, to leave the bars down, as it were, and as long as the sources of possible nfec- tion are so numerous, every individual should be on guard As an extra pre- caution. the city health officer has is sued a notice urging all housekeepers to pasturize the milk. His card follows: ""To the Public;
 "'A dry closet in the vicinity of
 dairies is a potential source of
 typhoid infection. So long as this
 insanitary condition is tolerated
 the milk supply, or part of the milk
 supply, of city can at any time
 become inoculated, and as result
 a typhoid epidemic results.
 q It is particularly essential that all milk used be pasteurized. This can be done at the home by the following simple method: In tin pail of about eight inches in diameter, and six or seven inches in height place a saucer In the saucer stand bottle of milk leaving the paper cap on the bottle

FINED FOR VIOLATION

what pleased Commissioner HOrnady yesterday more than anything else was the report that about 25 convictions had been secured against fruit stand ven ders in the recorders court and heavy fines imposed. He was also pleased when he heard that O. $. Johnson had been fined $50 for having failed to make his sanitary connections with his dry closet.
 It appears that Johnson was arrest ed by Sanitary Officer Wolfe about two weeks and and when brought before Recorder Anderton he stated:
 Judge, I've got the money to make the connection in my pocket, and if I'm given little time I'll make it."
 How much time do you want:' queried Recorder Anderton.
 About two or three days" was the reply
 I'll give you 10 days to make tho necessary connections" was the answer and Johnson was released.
 On Monday Inspector Wolfe paid an- other visit to Johnson's residence ana discovered that no sanitary connec. tions had been made and none appar- ently were contemplated. Johnson was again arrested. In court yesterday morning he Said
 i've got the money to make the con nections, judge, but I just thought there was no hurry for it--"
 Fifty dollars was the curt answer of Judge Anderton.

CONFERENCE TOMORROW

Owing to the objections that were raised and to the fact that it was ap- parent that majority of the ely com- missioners desired to avoid airing their views on the ordinance before the re- porters, it was moved that all the health ordinances be taken up in an executive conference at 10 o'clock ] Thursday morning. Commissioner Hornady stated that he saw no reason for any delay and that it was impera- tive that the health ordinances be passed as the situation was acute. He finally agreed to the conference Thurs day morning, but strongly intimated that the ordinances must be passed, and what is more important, must be rigid lY enforced

Employers Should Insist on the Vaccination of All
 Servants
NUMEROUS FINES ARE
 NOW BEING ASSESSED
Commission Takes Up the Dry Closet Problem and Hopes to Work Out Solution of This
 Menace

A spirit of thorough alarm now per vades the city hall as the toll of death sweeping in the walks of the scourge of typhoid fever becomes greater with each day.
 Yesterday the 18th death from typhoid
 was recorded for the present month, and 10 additional cases of typhoid were added to the long list which now numbers 362 cases for J uly.
 Both City Commissioner John R. Horn ady and City Health Officer pr. Cecil D.
 Gaston urged the home pasteurlzation of
 milk yesterday as imperative to prevent further infections from typhoid fever. Commissioner Hornady also urges that
 all women who employ negro servants, both made and female, request them to
 be vaccinated. The negro physician in charge of vaccinations of the negroes at
 the city hall also voiced the same request to a reporter yesterday afternoon. INSIST ON VACCINATION "The white employers should force their negro servants to get vaccinated," said the negro physician, and if they refuse the treatment they should be discharged. All negro servants and chauffeurs should be vaccinated as soon as possible, and all other negroes should be vaccinated against typhoid fever
 While Commissioner Hornady did not urge dismissal of negro servants who refused to be vaccinated he stressed the Ipoint that women who employ servants should see that they were Immediately vaccinated. It is as important that the
 negro servants be vaccinated as the mem-
 bers of the household, according to Com missioner Hornady.
 At the morning conference of the city commission Commissioner HornadY urgec action on his ordinance to install sani- tary dry closets in place of the present insanitarly dry closet which Is alleged to be a source of infection in the present epidemic of typhoid fever. It developed 1 in the discussion that there was an ordi- nance now in the city code which was practically the same as that of Mr. Horn adv but which had never been enforced. | MT Hornady's ordinance called for the municipalization of the sanitary dry closet | in that the city would buy the cans, but that the proprietor of the property would | pay fee for the necessary cleaning by the scavengers. MT. Hornady's ordinance 1 is in line with the emphatic recommenda | tion of Dr. L. L. Lumsden, the federal
 expert.
 | However as it was estimated that it Hornady ordinance the commission fell
 trifie loath to adopt it and proceeded
 to offer several objections. 1 It was suggested that sanitary sewers | be constructed and City Engineer Julian Kendrick was asked by Comr,issioner 1 George B. Ward for an estimate on what a sewer in East Lake would cost the city.
 "Oh, at least quarter of million dollars" calmly replied MT. Kendrick. That ended the discussion on sewers

sets, has a state commission on ventila-
ton. For the past two or three years
it has been conducting experiments, es-
pecially in the schools, and the publica-
ton of the results of these experiments
is calculated to light the fire OF battle OF
those who are devoted to the fresh air
cult We are told that school children
in a room literally provided with fresh
air do no better work and make no more
progress than those in room where
the air is in large part re-circulated and
breathed over and over again.
OF course, there is no defense for dead
and starnant air. Nobody rises to dis
pute that foul air is a poison, but the
argument comes that devotion to fresh
air is little better than superstition
and that proper circulation has all the
advantages of fresh air without its dan
gers. Beyond doubt there is much vir-
tue in the phrase proper circulation
and men of science are likely to wrangle
loud and long over it. To keep air at
the right temperature, humidity and
composition, SO that it may be breathed
over and over again with no i'll effects,
may be theoretically simple and desira-
BILE, while it may be in practice prob
lem filled with all but insurmountabla
difficulties in most places where many
persons gather.
Modern gymnasiums do not depend on
open windows, but have an apparatus
that washes" the air once used, and
cools or warns it as the case may be,
giving it the amount of moisture proper
to its temperature. That sort of thing
may be possible in schools and halls, as
the experiments of the New York COM
mission Indicate, but for practical pur-
poses the world will be wise to cling
with more enthusiasm, rather than less,
to the fresh air cult that has been the
development of our generation. The old
slur that New England air ought to
be good because the people use so little
of it" no longer applies, and the whole
some, invigorating effect of outdoor air,
day and night, has been so well demon
strated that nothing should be allowed to
turn us back toward former conditions.
