for $40 each to carry on the work

worthy fact Is the contribution of
the Congregational Sunday school,
which instead of the $40 asked for
contributed more than $21. Well

tack in earlier life. So that you
can get a lovely little epidemic of
typhoid in a camp whether army
or construction on the outskirts cf

there is no actual typhoid amOng
the local inhabitants.
Knowing all these things our
army doctors in France turned
most watchful and suspicious eye
upon the innocent looking and re-
freshing waters which flowed freely
in the village streets in which our
troops were billeted. And their sus-
picions were sadly and quickly justi.
fed. Nearly 80 per cent Of all the
samples of water examined in tho
army zone were found to be swarm
ing with sewage bacilli. Tanks and
sedimentation basins there were
none. filters of sufficient capacity
for thousands of troops would have
taken months TO construct. The
only practical immediate way to
solve the problem was by the use f
canvas, 80 gallon bleaching powder
bags suspended on tripods which are
to be seen dotted about every en-
campment. They, however, are only
really suited for autumn maneuvers
or the old open and moving style Of
war. and will soon be replaced by
proper double tanks, or modern mo-
tor pumps and sterilizers combined
of the English fashion.
South Bend news-times. (South Bend, Ind.) 1913-1938, 1918-03-28

The bags are portable and quickly
set up, but for permanent use they
have the very serious drawback Of
having the water drunk from the
same vessel in which il was chlori-
mater. AS there is no telling by the
look of the water whether chlori-
nation is complete or not, this means
that unless some orderly stands
guard over the bag from the time
the bleaching powder is put in until
the chlorine has been completely
aeutralized. the first man who comes
up 10 take a drink out of it Will
get a mOuthful OF bleaching powder,
Plus any dregs and sediment which
may have settled TO the bottom N

strong prejudice against any sort

ndllOn OF most OF the native drink
ing water in the army zone that dis
infectants used in our latrines give
strong flavor of creosote within a
few days to all the wells and foun-
tains in their neighborhood.
The third great sanitary requisite
for the health Of an army, latrinas
and sewage disposal. presents the
greatest difficulties in the way of
it's solution. As none of the villages
occupied by our troops has any pipe
line system of water supply the
only methods of waste disposal pos
sible are by the simple pit or trench
latrines, and the running Of sewage
water in open bitches directly into
the streets.
The soil of the valleys in which
the villages lie is simply underlaid
with sheets of water, so that wastes
disposed of in pits in the SOL
promptly find their way into all the
ether deeper pits called wells with
in 100 or 80 yards around them.
This makes the pit or trench type OF
latrine distinctly undesirable from
every point of view.
The sanitary corps Of the army
is keenly alive to the difficulties c.
the situation in which il finds itself,
and application has been made to
the authorities for the pail and in
cinerator system of the Italian and
English camps, and this will prob
ably soon be granted.

The difficulties OF a convenient

often obvious enough. for the

In other words. typhoid fever Is
now largely a rural disease, the
death rate from it being often higher
in country districts than in great
cities and city jewellers go out into
the country for health and come
back with typhoid. Much Of the
supposed superior longevity Of coun-
