TYPHOID WARNING
State Board of Health seeks to Pre-
vent Conditions OF Former
Snfnfnora

With the typhoid records for June
just completed, showing a total of re-
ported cases OF 1872. the State Board OF
Health announced yesterday tina, un-
less the people arc careful and obey
the rules of health. the record of pre-
N!ouS years in July and August viii be
repeated this summer.
The eases arc pretty generally dis
tributcd throughout the State. Last
May there were Ia cases reported In
April ia. and in March only siXty-ive.
July and August. however. are the
months when typhoid takes it's most
deadly toll of human life. With proper
attention 10 health regulations, the
State board points out that this July
and Angus. could easily be made prac
tically free of new cases in Virginia.
There were Clio cases reported in
July, 1917. and 957 cases In August last
year. July. 1915, brought to light 69o
cases. while August two years ago
had the terrible record OF 1.l06 cases.
II is TO prevent Il repetition of such
conditions that the health authorities
are lending cvory effort. through pub
licity. teachers, ministers. parents and
special Investigations and the work OF
inspectors. TO convince the people OF
this State that typhoid is n most easily

fact. TO prevent the disease, and that
when cases do appear. il is crimlnally
negligent for persons not TO follow In
struCtions as TO the precautions that
should he taken to protect members
of the families and neiGhbors from
becoming victims
Tho health board also emphasizes
the fact that it is unpatriotic not TO
do everything possible to keep down
disense at this time. With thousands
o! young men going into the army and
navy il is the duty Of every one TO
do everything possible 10 have them as
healthy as possible. Figures show that
hundreds of cases az typh bid developed
soon after the men were called. and IL
is reasonable 10 suppose that II they
had come from properly sanitated
homes and communities. they would
have been free from disease. This. In
fact. has been proved. Another point
emphasized IL that with so many doc
tors and nurses away from the State

The same precautions that apply to
the prevention OF typhoid IN the main
are applicable to the prevention OF
other summer diseases. and to MAN

wastes from the body and vaccinH tton.

rules TO follow.

now possible the German command has
decided to retain the present positions

Meanwhile. the military writer's point
out, the allies are using up the Ger

Germans are continuously in disad-
vantageous position. so the situation Is
entirely satisfactory to the allies. II
the enemy remains III the salient he

One reason for the Germans aban-
