There is a growing number of prece-

typhoid fever through water and milk.
The Mankato case settled the principle
that a city could be held responsible for
selling water polluted by sewage and
causing typhoid fever.
Within three years an English own
was assessed damages for selling pol

In the summer Of 1916, the Elgin
Watch company. located at Elgin, ILL.,,
had an outbreak OF typhoid fever among
Its employees. In the earlier weeks of
the summer there was an unusual pre-
valence Of inexplicable diarrhoea
among the adult employees. Then am
the outbreak OF typhoid.
The plant of this company is located
on the banks of the Fox river. The
factory Is sanitary. The employees are
above the average in intelligence. The
company makes use of Elgin city water
Tor drinking purposes, but-the plant is
equipped with an auxiliary water sup
ply drawn from the Fog river. In some
way, as fg usually the case where there

water reached the drinking water mains
Of the factory.
In the early part Of the summer the
river was moderately high and the poll
luton OF the water was fairly diluted.
1t was during this season that the dis
orders of the employees took the form Of
~diarrhoeas. Some of these diarrhoeas
possibly were typhoidal; some were due
to other water. borne bacteria.
In midsummer the water in the Fox
river became extremely low. In conse-
quence the pollution therein became
concentrated. Hence there ensued the
typhoid outbreak.
Immediately the disease became pre-
valent the company busted itself in re-
lief. They employed physicians and

scurvy
On the other hand. orange juice,
which was a perfect remedy against
scurvy. was found not to promote
growth. at least in some Of the babies
observed. A tablespoonful of boiled
mashed potato day was found
to be an excellent promoter Of growth
and also Of service against scurvy.
The symptoms Of scurvy in a baby
are: F~labbiness, pallor. soreness OF the
gums; and. in some instances, pain in
the joints.

stopped crying and started for the
back yard. and Anita dropped her dolls
and ran out too. Thurston began to

Ihurston said as the coast was for
Grace. jr.. she ought to have the first
coast and he brought out her sled and
placed her firmly on 1T. Then he gave

coast and nearly the whole length Of
he yard.
Next Anita came and then Thurston
and SO on all the rest of the afternoon

children to come in to supper. The next
gay their little friends' found out what
= Inc coast they had in the backyard
ana they begged to be allowed to try
It; Some of Thurston's friends told
MIN they would help him to build it a
little higher n they started in with
shovels and piled the snow still high
or until 1t was so high the children
couldn't get up On it to coast.
80 Thurston went down cellar and
brought q short ladder that some of the
boy q helped him build last spring
when they were playing firemen. and
they put that up at the back, climbed
up. Jumped on h sled and off they
went down n over the long level to

That night Thurston and his friends
