THE TYPHOID FEVER

Is there an epidemic Of typhoid
fever raging in Greeneyille now, the
18th day Of June, 1920? If so, what
is the cause, or what are the causes?
| have read several articles on this
subject in the Greeneville Sun, from
some Of our officers and others from
our leading citizens, all worthy Of
reading, and written with the noble
intent, no doubt, to awaken the cit
.izens to the alarming fatality and
wide range of the epidemic.
Clean up all private premises;
clean up all public premises; boil ell
water before using, both for drink
ing and cooking purposes. These
three propositions embrace all the re-
lief suggested by the interesting ar
ticles | have read--bcth those from
the municipal officers and those from
prominent citizens. They seem to
endorse the adoption and execution
of these three propositions as the
panacea and the removal of the great
and fatal typhoid epidemic now rag
ing in Greeneville. viii these vague
uninstructive propositions meet the
great demands Of the hour and abate
this terrible scourge?
The cause Of this typhoid epidem-
ic, judging from the declarations Of
these articles, is either the bad water,
or filth, or both. The water taken
fro mthe hydrants from different To-
cations in the town, and also from the
Big Spring, have been analysed. All
of those waters from the hydrants
are reported pure-are certified to
be free from germs. The water from
the Big Spring is found to be impure,
containing germs, The germs may be
the germs of the typhoid fever. ! do
not see that fact alleged by any one
of the authors of the articles as pub
lished in the Greeneviiie Sun. But
each author suggests as remedy

the flies, to clean that ditch or sewer
drain filed with the fecai matter and
filth from large population not sup
piled with sewers, and no closet con
nections possible.
The corporation in this section has
recently made a new street--Davis
street--but without sewer drains or
any protection from closet filth, the
big blow fly holds undisputable sway

what ! state Is not the absolute truth,
then my conclusion will be absurd,
and the local cause filth win not be
the origin of Greeneville's typhoid
epidemic in the year 1920.
The physical surface formation of
the hills, valleys and water drains of
the North and West side of Greene
vile are largely funnel-shaped. The
intersection of Depot and Irish street
constitute the focus Of the under half
of that side of the funnel. The old
open sewers that wound along from
the railroad culvert that empties its
vast load of filth and fecal matter
into it at the North end Of Summer
Street at old Captain Fowler lot,
thence crosses Cutler street and on in
Northeast direction, across Irish
street to Depot street, across Depot
street to the rear Of the Mason Ho-
tel, rear of Doughty Hotel, across
Main street, South along Church
street and empties into the branch
from the Big Spring.
If you want to swat flies 90 to Sum-

that big open ditch that receives all
the drainage Of all the filth that pass

About Congress.
WASHINGTON Feb. ll.--In direct
contrast with the naval policies of other
powers Secretary Daniels will recommend
to congress naval building program linn
tied only by the capacity of the Ameri-
can yards. Secretary Daniels holds to
the view that if the United States is not
to enter the league of nations, or if the
league fails to preserve the peace of the
world, the United States should have the
most powerful navy afoat.
Secretary Daniels will appear soon be-
fore the house naval affairs committee
and propose that this policy be carried
out. If his recommendations are adopted
there will be no after the war pause in
the effort to make the United States
first among the naval powers.
To this end Secretary Daniels will
propose an appropriation of S20O,OO0,0O0
TO continue building operations during
the Forthcoming year. These will be al
most sufficient to tax the present ca
pacity of the yards. The ships to be
laid down, among them l6 cruisers and
battleships, win go far toward placing
the United States in first place in point
of naval strength. Until these vessels
are off the ways the facilities available
for new construction will be very limited
but it is the opinion of the secretary OF
the navy that congress should authorize
the construction of more battleships in
order that the building may be continu-
Gus.
The recommendations of Secretary
| Daniels were decided upon after a
consultation with the general board
which has had the question of build
| ing program under consideration ever
| since the end of the war. And the
views he viii present to the house naval
affairs committee are presumably those
of the foremost naval experts.
Whether congress viii approve the au.
thorization of large expenditures for nav
