CAUTIONS FOR CAMPERS

Probably nowhere is surpassed the
beauties that we of the big West en-
joy, and now that springtime and
summer are well upon us, urging US
to seek out the streams and woods
that soothe and lull us to rest, word
regarding one of the serious conse-
quence possible from camp life will
not be amiss, that pleasure may not
be turned into needless pain.
Where sanitation Is carefully con
trolled, typhoid fever is almost thing
Of the past, but In our autom obile
camps it still turks. 1t Is the typhoid
carriers-those who, after recovery
from the disease, continue to dis
charge it's germs for months or even
years-that prevent its complete
elimination. Such a carrier may con
taminate the springs in the various
camps they may occupy and so trans
nit the disease to others. Or flies,
the greatest conveyors Of filth, may
carry the disease on their feet and in
their stomachs, and thus .contaminate
exposed foods.
Life in the open, which should be
encouraged, need not be given up be-
cause OF the possibility OF contracting
typhoid; for prevention Is easy and
positive. Two safe ways are open
first, the injection Of typhoid serum
a short time before starting your
camping trip; harmless and certain
preventive. Over five million service
men received this treatment during
the war, and none who took 1t con.
tracted typhoid.
Second Boil all water before using.
II you go out for but a day, carry a
jug Of pure water with you.
Typhoid is as dangerous as 1t is I'M
necessary. Its germs may live In soil
or water for long time; and the per
son who takes chances of contracting
1t Is flirting with death. st. Peter will
get along without you very nicely for
awhile yet.

Start Fight Against
Contagious Diseases

May first, given over in all parts
Of the United States to emphasis on
child health, marked the beginning Of
two important projects under the aus
pices of the Bellevue YorkviIle Health
Demonstration in the City of New
York
Both intensive health efforts aim at
the better control and the possible
future prevention of the communica-
BILE or contagious diseases common
to childhood, such as diphtheria, scar
let fever and measles.
1T is possible that during the next
SO years these common scourges of
childhood may be practically wiped
out of existence In New York City,
as have such former plaques as small
pox, yellow fever, typhus fever, and
Asiatic cholera during the last so
years." said Commissioner Monaghan,
chairman. 1.-THE demonstration is one
of three in New York state enlisting
the present chief interest and sup.
port of the Milbank Memorial Fund.
| "Only so years age" continued the
Commissioner, "a serious epidemic of
smallpox ragged in New York City.
Death rates ranged from 119 to 124 per
100 ,000-much higher than the pres
emit rate for tuberculosis. Within a
few years the rate was lowered to 80
per 100000 and since 1903 the small
pox rate has been negligible. Since
1920 there has been only one death
from smallpox in New York City"
/, I'm 1875, there were 1900 deaths
from yellow fever, and during a
period of about Is years following the
Civil war there were 5000 deaths
from Asiatic cholera, in New York
City. Typhoid fever also has become
a vanishing disease, as compared with
it's former prevalence. In the So
cities of the United States having a
population of more than 100000, the
typhoid deaf hrate was about 20 per
hundred thousand in 1910. Ten years
later the same group of cities had a
rate OF 3.5 per hundred thousand.
What has been done in controlling
these diseases" said DR.. Monaghan,
may be done in preventing diph-
iberia, scarlet fever, measles, and the
other diseases of childhood, and 1t is
one OF the aims Of the Bellevue-Y York
Vile Health Demonstration to point
the way to this end"

Changing bells and screaming sirens
Of the fire department at intermittent
periods Saturday was the surest sign
that the first spell of winter had ar
rived.
Neglected throughout the summer
crammed full of last years SCOT and
rubbish. dirty flues were responsible
for several fires during the day.
Though none Of the blazcs gained
any Roadway. Fire Chief J. G. Sar-
ran declared it was nothing more than
the powers that be, which averted q
serious blaze.
Throughout Fire Prevention Week
which is nationally observed annually
from October to October 10, Chief
Sarran has urged citizens to remove
all possible fire hazards. Despite this
fact. folks neglect their flues which
always result in considerable annoy,
ance to the fire department with the
first cold snap" the chief declared.
Forgetful of the fact that the flues
have not been cleaned for year, q
blazing fire is built when the cold sets
in. The natural result is fire alarm,
"And in many instances it proves SER
ious." Sarran said.
"Neglecting to have the flues clanes
before winter is expensive economy
sometimes" he said.
