ALEXANDRIA

ALEXANDRIA, Va. July 2.-Our-
ing the month OF June there were
ported to Dr.. L. E. Fouiks Of the city
health department. according to re-
port just made by the city health off,
Ger. This makes a grand total OF
twenty-five cases reported to this de-
partment since January l. 1921. Last
year during the same period a total OF
twenty-three cases were reported.
From January to July Of last year
there were three deaths from typhoid
fever. For the same period this year
two deaths have been reported. Dr.
Foulks says that a careful investiga.
ton Of the eighteen cases shows that
one case was imported and eight were
probably outside infections.
Attention also Is directed by the
health officer to the fact that many
young men and boys persist in SWIM
ming in the river. which. he declares
is simply an open sewer. He also di-
rects attention to the fact that many
insist upon drinking water from the
various outside springs, despite the
fact that he has frequently issued
public warnings that all such springs
are polluted" He points out that
many people even go to these springs
and bring water home for drinking
purposes. There are. he says, more
flies than usual. on account OF the
warm winter. and more flies. he says.
means more typhoid. even under nor
NAL conditions.
One thing, says the health officer,
is certain. and that is that the cases
Of typhoid last month were not caused
by either water or milk served in this
city. There is absolutely nothing to
point to any one thing as the cause,
he says.

ing the appointments made by the

cation in the District. which was re-
ported favorably to the Senate several

ports from Washington are to the eff
feet that he is both very busy and
very popular man there. always on
the job and keenly alert at all times
to help along the interests Of his dis
trict and assist his constituents per-
sonally in any way he can when they
have business with the various depart
ments of the government.
Since the recent adjournment of
congress for a short vacation Mr..
Smithwick has been putting in his
time visiting the various counties OF
his district and giving an account Of
his stewardship by the personal
conversation method. And in personal
conversation John Henry is famous
campaigner and hard to beat.
