Cause Of Typhoid

Typhoid fever is not infrequently
caused by insanitary conditions in the
premises. Whether typhoid be due to
drinking infected water or to partak-
ing of infected foodstuffs. we can be
sure that the articles causing the dis
case have been contaminated by hui
man waste matter. Much of the ty-
phoid in this country can be attrib-
uted to polluted water. A very con-
siderable number of typhoid cases.
however. can be ascribed to fly-borne
infection, and housing conditions are
largely responsible therefore, due to
Unprotected or insanitary cesspools.
. The reduction of typhoid mortality

cities within period of twenty-six
Years from seventy-eight per hundred
thousand TO less than twenty per hum
dred thousand was attributed by the
health officer to measures enforced
for the exclusion of flies from human
waste. The water supply of the city
during this transition period was un-
changed. The cessDool is an insani-

HOUSING CONDITIONS
AS AIDS TO HEALTH
Importance Of Sunlight A n d
Proper Ventilation In Pre-
vention Of Disease
DIRT CAUSES ILLNESS

In connection with the campaign
for better homes being conducted
throughout the nation this week,
lecture on improved sanitation is be-
ing given by Hugh S. Cumming, Sur
geon General OF the u. S. Public
Health Service. Mr.. Cumming says
In part:
"In former years and before the
precise manner in which commune
able diseases are spread was known,
great stress was laid on housing con-
ditions as affecting health. the evil eff
fects being chiefly attributed to bad
air. Many of the theories relative to
the causation OF diseases by polluted
atmosphere have been exploded, but
II still remains a fact that the condi-
ton OF the home and its environment
very greatly influences the health OF
the inmates, more especially as to
typhoid, malaria, yellow fever, bu-
bonnie plague. dengue. and, to a less
extent. tuberculosis and pneumonia
no less an authority than Osler re-
fcrs to tuberculosis as "a house dis
ease and In the summaries OF tuber-
culosis surveys great stress is gener-
allv attached to overcrowding and
lack Of ventilation as factors condu-
Give to the production of the disease
Ventilation, aside from preventing
the facilitating effects of vitiated
atmosphere. exerts a directly up-
favorable influence on tuberculosis
spread by the mere dilution of the
bacteria-laden room atmosphere.
Sunlight In Sanitation
Sunlight is another element an
tagonistic to the tubercle bacillus.
and well-lighted rooms are much less
favorable TO the dissemination of
tuberculosis than are dark ones.
Ample window space is especially es-
sential in the construction OF apart
ments and tenements.
Malaria. yellow fever, and dengue
are all diseases produced by the bite
OF an infected mosquito, and they can
be materially reduced or even pre-
vented by the proper screening of
houses. While mosquito destruction
is the more logical procedure in
malaria or yellow fever prevention,
such measures are not always prac-
teal. In addition to excluding mos
Quitoos from the house. much can be
done toward prevention of mosquito
breeding within the premises. In
many instances 1t may be that the
mosquitoes originate from a source
uncontrolled by the householder, but
not infrequently the trouble may be
caused by 'home-raised' insects.
Pools of water in house cutters
due to sagging or obstruction by dirt
unprotected water seals, unscreened
cisterns, and water containing cans
or broken bottles about the yard are
favorable breeding places for mos
Quitocs These are all conditions that
can be- corrected easily and inexpen-
sively.

The question was laid before the

The situation is that mebody

Harding declined yesterday to go
on record on the bill submitted to
him. stating he wished to study IL.
together with another measure
drawn by Senator Smoot. of Utah.
But those who called on him YES

Harding did not think any better
OF the certificate bonus plan tina n

insist that whatever bill is en-

much support he would command in
a fight Of that kind, in a year when
internal party strife is not desir-
able, remains to be seen. Mr.. Hard.
ing, in all his statements on the
bonus. has made it equally clear
that he will not accept a makeshift
bonus. nor one which adds to tn.
peoples tax burdens.
Some of the Presidents advisers
want him to go to the country
with a statement that the bonus is
impossible. and that he will not be
responsible for fastening 1t on the
people. In the face of such action
these advisers consider it exceed :
ingiy doubtful that any bill could
be passed over the veto. 1t might
pass the House. but the necessary
two thirds would be exceedingly
difficult to obtain in the Senate.
