QUARTERLY REPORT NEWBER-
RY HEALTH DEPART MEN /,
For the Third Quarter of the Year
1922. E. Paul Knots, M. D.,
Director

he Oeglnnlng OF the thlrd quarter
found the Newberry County Health
department in the midst of a vigor-
Gus campaign against typhoid fever.
This disease was raging" There
were many cases and the mortality
was high. There was no epidemic in
the sense of common origin for the
cases. The cases arose from the fact
that there are dozens, if not hundreds
Of typhoid carriers and this con-
nected with bad sanitation and the
prevalence of more or less continued
rains, the wells became polluted and
infected those that were susceptible.
Flies did their part of course in keep
ing the infection going. 1t seems
gigantic task to educate the people
successfully so as to show immediate
effects in the reduction of disease in
cidence In the face of the great pre-
valence of typhoid fever, we adopted
a method to combat it which is more
certain and that was by administer
ing the typhoid inoculations. This
campaign was started in June. dur
ing which time 1900 doses of the pre-
ventive vaccine were given. In July
and August the campaign was con-
tinued and 4,017 doses were given in
these two months. September the
number began to fall off and the
time which had been spent largely to-
wards fighting typhoid fever was then
used in other work. Perhaps it would
not be amiss to give short synopsis
of the typhoid campaign:
Total number doses given ..6,272
Number places visited to give ia-
noculations 1850. ...... ..... ... SO
Number visits made to these
Mileage made during campaign 1926
Number weeks devoted to work IL
Average No. doses week ,-.... 523
Persons starting treatment failing
to complete it .... ...... ..6 per cent
We are very proud of this work
and feel that a great deal has been
accomplished to lessen the number of
cases of this dread disease which will
be shown in the report of the cases
for the next two years. During this
period we distributed 1884 pieces of
literature which dealt mainly with ty-
phoid fever. Also lectures and talks
we're given to large number of per-
sons in this quarter on typhoid fever
and general preventative medicine. A
total of IL such talks were made to
a total audience of $40. This in
cludes talks made at vaughnville, st.
Lukes, Fairview. Chappells, the Ro-
tary club and the Medical society,
and one to negroes at Dominicks.
The Inspector has done some real
good work this quarter, notwith-
standing the fact that he has been
obliged to discontinue doing sanitary
work from time to time to help dur
ing the typhoid campaign in working
up clinics, doing general Office work
and what not His report shows that
he has visited 230 homes leaving lit

tally the Inspector is now hammerlng
away at the schools to get sanitary
arrangements installed md is meeting
with considerable success. Col. E. H.
Aull, county superintendent of educa-
ton, is cooperating with this depart
ment in this work and we hope to be
able to say that every school in the
county will have complied complete
Ily with sanitary regulations oy
Christmas.
Due to lack of sufficient funds we
have been unable to get an original
literature worth while except some
placards which were used to adver-
tise the anti-typhoid clinics. About
$50 of these were placed. The local
newspapers have been very kind to
US and from time to time have given
out publicity in the way of news
items and printing articles.
Quite q few disease were investi-
gated this quarter and appropriate
measures adopted to prevent the fur
ter spread of those that were conta-
g;ous. These were: "a cases of diph-
iberia; - cases scarlet fever; 2 cas-
es amebie dysentery; 21 cases ty-
phoid fever; 3 cases denue; case of
pellagra; l case tuberculosis. Con-
siderable laboratory work was done
in and during the investigation of
these diseases. During the quarter
5 blood wassermann reactions; uri-
nalysis; 8 throat cultures; 2 eye dis
charges examined; 4S water supplies
analyzed and several feces examined.
As diptheria seems to be the next
disease of Importance, that is, as
there seems to be quite a number OF
the cases arising, some special work
has been done towards its eradlca-
ton. In addition to the usual quar-
antine and disinfection around cas-
es that developed, those that were ex
posed to the cases have been lmmun-
ed against diptheria by administering
the toxin-antitoxia. The incidence of
this disease was cut down or at any
rate there were no secondary cases.
Sixty-four doses Of this toxin-antitox-
in were given. We are planning an
active campaign against diptheria
which is to be conducted in the
schools of the county this fall and
winter.
Other work may be grouped as
miscellaneous. During the summer
we examined 20 children, all of whom
were found to have some defects or
other. Four of these children have
had defects corrected as result of
their examination. Two hundred and
six school children were vaccinated
against small pox.
The work this quarter has been
broken into some, due to the fact that
the nurse took her annual vacation
and the inspector was allowed sever
al days off. Miss Lightsey, the nurse
did some important educational work
this summer in the nature of demon
strations in home nursing before wo-
mems organizations and the young
ladies who were taking the short
course this summer at Newberry col
lege. She also read paper on "Oral

Two $4,000 notes which were en-

ruptcy proceedings form the basis
of a $4,000 suit brought against
Korns by the Peoples Savings

which has been assigned to the

Korns' liabilities are said to
amount to nearly $1,000, 600, and he
lost heavily on notes on which he
was a co-endorser, in financing the
Tex-La-Homa company of Tulsa,

chased by the Peoples Savings
bank. Notes of the company were
purchased by a large number of

Dollar Wheat Is
Bringing Out Grain
Farmers Are Hurry In Their Crop
Encouraged By The Bet
ter Prices

The presenp car shortage has been
playing its part In the price OF
wheat. The effect of this shortage
can be seen In the ten cent raise In
the price Of wheat during the last
week. 1t has risen to $1.02 on the
local market
With the present price much
wheat is being hauled to elevators
and mills. Many elevators are full
and cannot obtain cars bat so far the
Abilene mills have been able to
handle all the wheat hauled to them
owing to their large capacity.
Much wheat hauled TO the local
mills comes from 10 to 20 miles
away. The reason for this Is that
the elevators that have been hand.
ling this grain are full and cannot
obtain cars.
The wheat price is due to go up
and down to some small extent but
II the car shortage keeps up a steady
raise will be made in the price Of
wheat 1t is estimated that go per
cent Of the grain is yet in farmers
hands.

GIVEN A RIDE, HAD A CAR
Couple Walking From Abilene Could
Prove Situation

Junction City Union: An Oldsm0-

and sent to local garage for repairs,
was taken from In front Of the gar
age about O o'clock last night. The
machine was located about 8 o'clock
on South Washington street, where
IL had been abandoned only a few
minutes before. The officers picked
up a man and woman who, 1t was
said, had been seen In the machine.
They said that they were walking
from Abilene to Junction City in
search OF work, and that u colored
man, hatless and coatless, wearing
army clothes, had invited them to
ride. The driver appareHtly became
alarmed when another machine
passed him and pulled In to the curb,
saving that he was out of gasoline,
and would have to got some in a
can. He left on the run, and they
saw no more Of him. The story that
they were walking here from Abb
lene was corrOboratsd by persons
who saw them along the road In the
afternoon, and they were released.

RAINS HELPED SEEDED WHEAT
Soil In East and Central Counties
In Fine Condition

Rains which began to fall on Fri
day OF last week, over the central
and eastern sections of Kansas, have
greatly benefited the seeded wheat,
and have placed the soil in the east
ern and most Of the central coun-
ties In an excellent condition of
tilth, according to the weekly report
on agricultural conditions for the
week ending October IA, issued from
the office Of j. G. MOhler, secretary
of the state board Of agriculture.
"From one-half to one and one
half inches was reported in most of
the counties Of these sections" the
report says. "A few counties in the
extreme southeast received very
little moisture, while counties in the
westrn On-fourth Of the state were
again left out Of the rain belt prac-
tically altogether. Western Kansas
soil Ia still dry, and very much In

WATCH YOUR CHIMNEYS
c. W. Cans Tells Needs Of Care to
Prevent Fires

The need of unusually careful at
tention to heating apparatus gener-
ally. because of the abnormal fuel
conditions, has been pointed out by
c. w. Cans, local agent OF the Hart
ford Fire Insurance Company,
where stovepipes, furnace pipes,
smoke vents AMI fues are OF metal
they frequently rust, come apart or
deteriOrate during the summer"
says Mr.. Cans. "When fires are
started up In the fall, or they are
put to a severe test during the first
very cold weather, blaze IL likely
to result Now that fire prevention
and safety first have become nation
al slogans, the Importance Of careful
supervision of heating apparatus and
fiues should be recognized by every
good citizen, and a thorough inspec-
tion should always precede the first
use Of heating apparatus.
"MilliOns of househ0lders will be
compelled to use soft coal who have
heretofore used hard coal, and the
change will necessarily introduce
many serious fire hazards, unless
great care Is taken to see that fues
and smoke pipes are kept clear and
that proper safeguards are provided
for the other dangers which will de-
velop.
"Fires due to faulty furnace pipes
and sm0ke-pipes have been unusual
ly numerous this season, especially
where there was dampness. Where
the surface was already corroded by
the heat and fumes the dampness
soon rusted the metal so that a pipe
which looked all right on the outside
would collapse with the slightest
strain. The danger Of such pipes In
Easements, often near wooden parti-
tions and ceilings, Is evident, but
only an inspection would reveal the
interior weakness.
"These warnings should be espec-
tally emphatic as to dwellings, for
basement fires are apt to get under
dangerous headway before they are
discovered, and when they occur at
night, life as well as property Is en-
dangered. Special attention should
also be paid to furnace pipes and
smoke vents In churches and schools,
because Of the large numbers of peo-
pie whose lives are at risk. School
boards and church trustees, working
on the theory Of personal RESPONSE
bility for preventable fires, should
pay special attention to these danger
points, and IL necessary, the metal
smoke pipes leading from the fur
mace to the chimney should be re-
placed each year to insure safety.
An ounce Of fire prevention is worth
a pound of fire extinguishment."

greater when the tanks are COM
pleted, the capacity of the new tanks
being $4,000 bushels. The approx
mate cost OF the tanks Is $4,000
When the new tanks are completed
the total capacity of the mills stor-
age tanks will he 100000 bushels

KEEPS 'EM WORKING ANYHOW
Jonathan Davfs Says lie Has the Re-
,publicans Mighty Busy

Jonathan Davis, Democratic can
didate for governor, visited the Re-
fiector office q while this morning,
looking fresh and cheerful after a
strenuous day travelling over the
county Thursday and speaking in the
court house that evening. Don't
know whether I'll win or not he
remarked, "but like the drunken man
Oh the train who was asked if he eK-
pected to drink all the booze the dis
tilleries could make, replied Well
I've got 'em workin' nights anyhow
l have the Republicans working
nights. l see they have injected
Henry into the campaign to try to
hold things level"
C. B. Little Of Olathe. candidate
for attorney general, is with Mr.
Davis. He says that Former Cover
nor George Hodges, whose home is
in Olathe, is still quite feeble and
seems unable to regain his strength
after the breakdown which came
after his labors in Red Cross work
during the war.
hc NouiC was "'iI 'i'''' ''
the evening meeting. Mr.. Davis ami
Mr.. Little spoke on campaign issues
G. Il. Rugh presided.
One thing we forgot to ask MI
Davis was about this STORY which
appears in the Manhattan Tribune:
jonathan Davis lenunciation Of
the business methods Of Republicans
in Kansas brings back to memory the
first business transaction that we
ever heard of Mr. Davis being con
nected with outside his farm. 1t
was in the dear dead days before the
Blue Sky law put the bad men out
of business. Mr.. Davis raised So
600. mOrtgaged his farm or some
thing. and went over to Webb CITY
to beat crooked bunch Of foot
racers by betting on race he
racers at the game But the G. f. I.
had fixed it first. Jonathan came
out with more wisdom but less
money, IN fact $4,000 less. We don't
censure him, honest men fall for
these things Mr.. Davis condemns
Mr.. Morgan because he is worth
100000. OF course he needn't of
been. There were other foot races. "
Maybe it isn't so but it is good
story anyhow
