There Is almost an epidemic Of ma
iarial fever Of an unusually severe
type in Shiloh township and the Sum ,
ter Chamber Of Commerce has been
appealed to by Mr.. w. w. Green, of
Shiloh. to use its influence with this
State Health department to have t,
matter investigated to ascertain I
cause Of the epidemic. 1t is unfor-
tunate that the health and sanitary
survey Of the county was not UNDER
taken last spring when the State
Board of Health offered to put a corps
OF health experts in the county for
one year on condition that the coun-
~ board of commissioners appropriate
$4,000 to pay one-third of the cost of
the survey. Had this been done the
epidemic in Shiloh might have been
prevented, and if not, then the health
experts would now be here to investi-
gate the cause of the outbreak and
advise how to remedy the trouble. 1t
is hoped that the request of the
Chamber OF Commerce for an imme-
diate investigation by a representa-
tive Of the State Board of Health
will be granted by that body and that
means may be found to remove the
cause OF the malaria in Shiloh.
