The two plans TO fight consump-
ton are the education Of the chill
dren through the schools as q part
of their course Of study and the
care and isolation of those who now
have the disease. Without the
knowledge of how to safeguard
health and to care for the afflicted,
much of the teaching in schools is
in vain. The tuberculosis COM
believes that the rising
generation should be taught the
rules OF health and that it should
be made compulsory to include q
health course in every public
school.

river in places. Where q well or
spring communicates with one OF
these passages, large or small, the
water may come from long distances
with no liberation whatever, such
water is liable 10 become muddy or
turbid after rains, and this should
always serve as a danger signal.
The most common danger however,
is not from underground passages or
seapage, but form deficient covers
or arrangements To prevent the sur
face washings Immediately around
the well or spring from washing in.
Below, are cuts showing the con-
ditions under which most wells be-
come infected and the proper way TO
protect them.

Small vegetable and animal life are

II is readily seen that a most
important step in the prevention OF
water-born diseases. is TO be sure
that all discharges from typhoid or

and thoroughly disinfected. One
way Of doing this is by adding TO

lime. After thorough mixing, allow
TO stand an hour and bury at q
depth Of one foot underground in q
place affording no chance OF drain

Another way just as simple and
efficient is TO collect the discharges
in a water-tight metal container,
old kettle or lard can" and before
smptying, heat to the boiling point
for 20 minutes.

RICHMOND MAY
ENLIST COMPANY

An Indiana national guard regiment
is to be organized as soon as possible,
and under plan formulated at Wash
ington by Adjutant General Smith of
Indiana and war department officials,
one Of the twelve companies of the
new regiment is to be recruited in
Richmond.
1t is generally understood the new
Indiana guard regiment is not to be
taken into the federal service and will
be entirely under state control. to be
used only for service in Indiana.
Adj. Gen. Smith has requested the
war department to supply complete
equipment for the new regiment but,
press dispatches state, it is doubtful
if the federal government does any
more than furnish the rifles for all
other available equipment is badly
needed for the new federal armies.
Just who viii ge given authority to
recruit the Richmond company OF the
new guard regiment is not known, but
it is quite probable that this work will
be placed under the direction of the
County Council of Defense.
