State Chemist Urges Caution During
Summer Months Because OF Preva-
lence Of Typhoid Germs
During This Season.
VACATIONsTs BLAMED
They Frequently Bring Back Bacteria
to Community-Shallow Wells
Are Serious Cause of
Disease.

The increase in the amount OF
typhoid fever during the summer is
due in large part to the exposure
to which vacationists submit them
selves when they are not careful
about their drinking water, accord
ing to Jack j. Hinman, Jr, water
chemist and bacteriologist at the
state board of health laboratories at
the state university. Because OF the
great danger from this source, he
declares that every precaution pos
sible should be taken by persons
while on their vacation in rural dis
triets.
Vacation typhoid" he states, sis a
term used by sanitarians to denote
the typhoid fever which is brought
back to a community by vacationists,
and which, therefore, cannot be
charged to the lack of proper SAM
tary conditions or to the water sup
ply of the home community.
Shallow Wells Unsafe.
"Most country wells are of the
shallow sort. and most of our shallow
wells are unsafe, If not actually dan
gerous. Wells situated near barn
yards and the like and wells supplied
with poor castings and leaky covers
should be carefully avoided.
