TRIP IN THE NORTHWEST
By Robert r. Spence

II was my pleasure TO make an
interesting and profitable trip into
the Northwest during my holiday
vacation. Your humble servant left
the hills Of Kentucky shortly before
Christmas and spent nearly two
weeks on the following itinerary.
Arriving at Chicago we fell in with
one Of that city's friendly and ac-
comodatihg policemen who gladly
escorted us TO many Of the interest
ing features Of that great city; one
OF which was the public Christmas
tree some ninety feet in height.
loaded with beautiful adornments
suited TO the occasion. The con-
struction work Of the overhead rail-
way was interesting and the hustle
and hustle Of the people was signi-
ficant Of the Importance Of the holt
day season. and the day spent there
well repaid me.
The next city Of interest was Oma-
ha, Neb.. where we spent one and a
half days viewing the city and Wis
iting a number Of up-to-date farms.
The reclamation Of creek bottom
lands was in progress in this section
which was interesting-especially
the manipulation Of the large dredge
which was employed in straitening
the creeks course.
Norfolk, Neb.. was our next stop
where we saw another public Christ
mas tree thirty feet high and a
Christmas enthusiasm not easy TOT
beat.
Fairfax. s. D., was reached consid-
prably behind our schedule time ]

Color eordsrsd handkerchief.

Color has broken out In the borders
Of the new handkerchiefs. In fact. II
manifested itself some time ago. but It
was not accepted on its first appear
ance. Now. however. It seems to be
well liked. and many novel effects are
being shown with the Idea OF attract
ing holiday notice.
Comparatively new Is the vanity

disk OF the linen stitched or embroid-
cred to the center Of the handkerch ief.
This disk Is then cut out In circular
form for the insertion Of the powder
pun. The idea IL that the powder pun
may have Its own casing containing
the powder. and the whole thing Is
slipped into the handkerchief aperture.

TYPHOID FEVER REDUCED IN
RURAL COMMUNITIES

! Reduction in typhoid fever and
Improvement in sanitary conditions
have followed the intensive investi-
cations Of rural communities carried
on by the United States Public Health
Service in cooperation with local
and State health officers, according
10 the annual report Of the Surgeon
General Of that service. During the
past fiscal year 1880 rural homes
in eight different states were visit
ed and many Of them revisited. In
each Of these homes information was
obtained as to the prevalence OF dis
ease and insanitary conditions and
a complete sanitary survey OF the
premises conducted. This was fol-
lowed by reinspcctions TO determine
II remedial measures had been insti-
tuted. I'm but a relatively small per-
centage Of the eases did the persons
concerned, after having their atten-
tion drawn to the danger Of a par
ticular unhygicnic condition. fail to-
inaugurate corrective measures.
Stimulus was given to the work by
means Of public lectures, the forma-
tion Of active sanitary organizations.
and the enlisting Of all public spir-
tied citizens in the campaigns for re-
form. Public buildings were also in
spected and local authorities given
expert advice in solving such SAM
tary problems as the disposal Of ex-
crcta, the prevention Of soil pollu-
ton. and the maintenance Of pure
water supplies.
The surveys made during the year
1914 had shown that in rural COM
munities less than one per cent Of
the homes had sanitary toilets and
that more than fifty per cent Of the
people were using water from pol
luted sources. This condition. ac-
cording to the Public Health Ser
vice. made the rural sanitation ques-
tion loom large among the matters

Nation. Following these studies and
as a result Of the interest aroused.

indicator Of the sanitary status Of

quently been cut 10 one quarter Of
its previous figure. In Berkeley
County. West Virginia. the cases Of
typhoid fever were reduced from 2i9
Ia 80 in one year. In Orange County.
North Carolina, the rural sanitation
campaign resulted in a reduction Of
the cases from 50 TO ~.
The tangible results 81 operations
in rural sanitation indicate that
marked advancement in maintaining
hygienic and satisfactory surround
ings in country districts is possible
by the application Of the common
principles Of preventative medicine
Insanitary conditions exist largely
because they are not known 90 be
such. Actual demonstrations Of
their harmfulness. together with
definite recommendation for their
correction, remain one Of the most
gratifying and successful methods
for instltuting reforms and has been.
in the experience Of the Public |
Health Service, invariably arcom-
panied by definite and measurable
results.

The browning at the tops, which IL

may come from overwhelming, from
worms on the roots or from lack OF
