! Questions and Answers,
! Sanitation Fallacies A large
stagnant pool OF water has been
permitted to remain near our home
for years. We have asked the
board of health to compel the own
er of the property to empty it, as
several children got shingles from
1t, according to their doctor. The
owner drained it, but did not re-
move the wagon load of tin cans
and other rubbish which had been
soaking in the. green water for
years. Then three weeks ago
diphtheria broke out in the vicin-
ity and continued till fall, causing
three deaths among children who
had played about the rubbish. Ev
cry time it rains We have the same
pool. Could such a thing be the
cause of diphtheria, and should the
health board not be compelled &c
have the rubbish removed? Some
folks seem to think that diphtheria
germs would have to be in the pool
before it could cause it.

which may be attributed to such a

to outbreaks of diDhtheria, and so
far as is known is not responsible !

She crouched up in the bows, watching the

vainly she shook herself and assured her own
heart of Its foolishness. Vainy she tried to drag
herself away from her selfappointed post. The
air was chill with the beginnings Of the dawn

Mrs. Hapshott lifted her eyes and searched the
seas far rim. Her gaze returned, only to be
lifted again; suddenly she stiffened where she
stood, and her ears strained.

taken such action because 30 many mo-
