ready indicated. One of the wells
now reported contaminated is in use
by a family that furnished milk TO
several families. II was in these
families that all the cases Of typhoid
fever developed.
This report has been turned over to
the authorities in Berea. All wells
that are contaminated should be con-
demned. The Red Cross, Of course,
has no power, but its service consists
in getting this information, which
may be very valuable.
One Of the cases Of typhoid fever
already developed cost $235 for the
nurse bill alone. II Is an expensive
thing as well as dangerous to have
typhoid fever.
The Red Cross has received the
hearty cooperation Of most all people
whose well water has been examined.
There are only few exceptions to
this. One man living in the district
where most Of the contaminated wells
and typhoid fever patients are locat-
ed has refused all but the first sam

were much interested in an endorse
ment given the candidacy of Hon.
William j. Baxter for the democratic
nomination for Commonwealth At
torney by his pastor, a prominent
minister of Jessamine county and for
merly the pastor of a church in this
county. The preacher is Rev. j..
Wood Browning, and he testifes in
no doubtful terms to the high stand
ing Of the man who is asking this
honor of the people Of the four coun-
ties of this district. Rev. Browning
writes:
To Whom II May Concern:

Jessamine county, KY, for a number
Of years and take great pleasure in
recommending him to the voters Of

BEREA LEAGUE OF WOMEN
VOTERS

At n meeting of the Berea League
Of Women Voters last Thursday IL
was vote.l that the League send n
resolution To our Congressman and
TO the President of the United States
favoring The Disarmament Confer
cree. Another feature Of the meet
ing was continued discussion Of
Primaries. This was made especially
profitable because one Of our candi-
dates for County Sheriff was pres
ent, and we had the privilege Of ask
ing him questions.
Mrs. Raine, our chairman then read
the following interesting paper, stat
ing clearly the purpose Of the League:
I wish to remind the women Of the
object of the League-that we pro-
mote improved legislation, in other
words that we do all in our power to
put men or women into Office that are
reliable, clean, and fearless, to stand
for the right; that we work for no
party, as a League, individually do
ing as we please and no one is COM
mitted to vote for any one the
League may recommend.
1t is the purpose of your chairman
to learn about the candidates for
any election, from every source
available-friends and foes, and pre-
sent facts. You will then decide for
yourselves for whom you will vote.
Your chairman would also suggest
that you be alert to learn for your
selves the records of candidates,
keeping an open mind, remembering
that each person consulted is liable
To prejudice and favoritism in some
degree. II would be well for each
one Of you to make a decided effort
to secure new members Of the
League. II you are the only men,
Der on your street take it upon your
self TO see each woman and get her
TO join. II there are other members
near you, get together and divide
the work. We want big member
ship for a good many reasons, all of
which we cannot know yet, but the
first in sight is-the hearing of can
didates.
II we ask a candidate to come and
give us his program, we want to be
able to say two hundred women want
to know you at Berea and whether
we can count Oh you TO fight whisky.
We also need TO have numbers for an
effective signature in sending urg-
ency letters and kilograms to Legis-
lators and Senator's.
We also need all the women Of
Bcrea for one of two reasons
either they can help us TO improve
legislation, OF we can help them to
know.
In humiliation and shame for our
country we have to face the fact that
fifteen hundred votes can be bought
in tie coming election. We wonder
what our Education for Citizenship
Committee can find to do about
that? Surely, some Of them could
be made to feel it dishonor and the
lowest kind of disloyalty to their
country by being enlightened as TO
the sacredness of their vote.
Your chairman welcomes any sug-
gestions for our activities that will
further the cause of improvement in
legislation.

A report has just been received
from the State Board Of Health by
Miss Eta English, the Executive Sec
rotary Of the Local Red Cross Chap
ter, on samples Of water sent in from
various wells located in Berea. This
report contains the results Of the ex-
animation of twenty-one wells. Eight
Of these are reported as having sew
age contamination, which means that
they contain material that has pass
ed from the human bowels. Five OF
these eight are located in neighbour
hood where several cases Of typhoid
fever have developed during the past
few weeks. Some Of the wells now
reported as contaminated were re-
ported as being satisfactory on the
first examination, but the health en-
gineer reported that a negative re-
port is not always conclusive, and
asked that a second sample from the
same wells be sent.
As the season advances and the
water gets lower in the wells Ahey

thoro examination should be made.
AS the season advances and water
in the reservoir becomes scarcer
more resort will be had to wells, and
the danger of typhoid will increase.
The outbreak already mentioned has
been only enough to warn US of the
danger that confronts the people. To
take precautions is very much better
than 20 wait until the damage h done
