DOCTORS FIGHT
TYPHOID SPREAD
Disease Is Most Prevalent at
This Time Of Year, Officials
Point Out

Every community and individual
mSst cooperate In order to prevent
the spread Of typhoid. according to
. warning issued today by DR.. A. A.
Whittemore, director of the state
health department.
This is the time Of year that
typhoid fever becomes most prevail
ent and while there is no epidemic in
the state at present, every commune
ity and person must aid in keeping
the illness and death toll from that
disease to the minimum, Whittemore
said.
Typhoid frequently results from
carelessness on week end motor
trips, visits to the country and CAMP
ing parties, he said.
In July, six cases Of typhoid were
reported to the state health depart
ment, while during the first three
weeks of September, 13 cases were
reported from the various counties
in the state. According to health
authorities there is no cause for
alarm but every precaution must be
taken if North Dakota is to keep her
low death rate record"
To hold the disease to q minimum,
Whittemore recommends use Of ad-
ditional preventive measures of anti
typhoid vaccine. Typhoid for the
. most part is to be found in rural
areas where sanitary provisions are
lax, he said, and where the water
and milk supplies are ungaarded.
A list of suggestions in safeguard
ing personal health and the health
of others was given by DR.. White
more. They follow:
/. Drink only water known to be
safe. If in doubt boil all water used.
Plenty Of safe water is to be found
along the main highways and at
tourist camps where safe water
signs have been placed.
2. Don't use water from rivers,
streams or pools which are contain
mated by sewage.
3. Protect all food from pollution
by flies. Properly dispose of all
garbage, human or animal excreta to
guard against breeding places.
4. Be careful in eating at wayside
food stands.
5. Avoid coming in contact with
persons suffering from typhoid. If
q case develops, sterilize all dishes
from the sick room, wash separately
all personal and bedding linen and
destroy all human excreta.

STORM VICTIMS
REQUEST SPEED

Washington. Sept. 27.-(F-How-
ard W. Selby, chairman Of the West
Palm Beach, Fla, chapter Of the
American Red Cross, arrived in
Washington today to make a per-
sonal appeal at the organizations
National headquarters for more and
speedier aid to Florida hurricane
sufferers.
For more than an hour, Selby with
w. A. Payne, West Palm Beach
newspaper man, and Cooper Light
down, former mayor Of Palm Beach,
described the situation to Chairman
Payne Of the Red Cross.
I'VE have been unable to put
across to the country the desperate
circumstances we are in," Selby
said, adding that "the tragedy is
literally indescribable. The belief
throughout the country is that the
Florida storm damage was about
the same as in the 1926 hurricane.
As matter Of fact it is twice as
great.
I'm Palm Beach county alone at
least $500 are dead. This can bet
ter be appreciated when it is real
iz>d that only 280 lives were lost in
the Mississippi Valley disaster last
year. Also this extended over
period Of several months and was
distributed over $50 counties"
The total number Of dead will new
er be known, Lightdown said.. Res
cue squads working independently
were burying bodies as fast as they
were found, he said.
About $4,000 people are depend
ent upon the Red Cross for all their
food, nearly all Of these in Palm
Beach county around Lake Okee-
chobee, Lightdown added. He esti-
mated that not more than $4,000, 900
would be recovered in insurance on
the estimated $50,000,000 damage
to property.
