Mr.. Cook has found by graph that
the percentage of Els in I. H. 5. IS
I16.7 per cent and the percentage of
P's is ~ per cent. This is the graph
for last year, and it is almost Identical
with the record for the past four years.
The percentage of Els and the per-
centage of P's should be equal; but in
T. II. S. there is a difference of 50
per cent Some teachers evidently
have a tendency to give too many L s.

OF fever.
Flies, Milk Bottles and Well
\ Water Cause Typhoid.
Total of Sixty-Qne Cases Re-
ported Here Last Year.

Z Flies, milk bottles and we'll water
did more to cause the sixty-one cases
OF typhoid fever that We're record ed
IN Topeka in 1920 than did city water
IT is estimated by DR.. Earle G. Brown,
efty health officer. Altho he would
not exonerate the city water in any
way, Doctor Brown reports that he
found that only eight of the sixty-one
cases were directly caused by city
water.
Well water is shown to have been
the cause of twenty-nine of the ty-
phoid cases. thirteen cases are re-
ported as originating from city
water. but of that number five were
contact cases, so that only eight cases
are checked up against city water
E1ies that carried germs, milk bottles
returned without proper sterilization,
and other causes are given for sixteen
cases, while the cause of three cases
is listed as unknown"
Were Not Vaccinated.
Lack of vaccination for typhoid help
ed TO increase the large number of
cases. 1T is interesting to note that
OF the sixty-one persons who had ty-
>phoid during the year. but one person
gave history of typhoid vaccination"
Doctor Browns report said.
''Inoculation has practically rid the
army of typhoid fever" the report con-
tinues. "Persons who have never been
ton. 1t is given by hypodermic
syringe. the three doses one week
apart and gives protection for more
than two years"
Two Outbreaks in Year.
There were two distinctive explo-
sive outbreaks of typhoid during the
year. In one outbreak the original
cases and contacts totalled eleven
cases, the second eight cases. In one
lxytn eleven there
is a very great possibility that the
start was recognized as typhoid. As
result the family returned milk bottles
and thus the disease was transmitted
TO other persons.
an another outbreak there were
eight cases in a small area, all of these
persons taking sick within five weeks
time. In an isolated outbreak the
original source of the disease was I'M
determined, but it is definitely estab-
lished taht two cases developed from a
home where there was a case of the
disease and the persons had been re-
turning the milk bottles without proper
sterilization
Was Fatal to Seven in 1920.
Seven persons died of typhoid in
1920 as compared with four persons
in 1919.
1.-THE ages of the typhoid patients
is interesting and cause for concern"
Doctor Brown said. for thirty of
the sixty-one typhoid patients were
under q years and twenty-eight We're
city school pupils"
"The two greatest factors in wiping
out the disease are incubation and the
campaign against flies" the report
concludes. Files carry the germs on
their feet and light on food leaving the
germ there. If that food is eaten by
a well person. he may become i'll in
a period of ten days to two weeks
