MUCH TYPHOID

IN THE STATE

THORNTOWN AND NEW CASTLE EACH REPORTED 30 CASES.

Cause More Fewer Than Infected

Water, Says Health Officer in Urging Sewers.

Thirty cases of typhoid fever - .

have baffled the health omciais

of Thorn town, Indiana; there

are at least thirty cases at Xew-

castle and epidemics are threat

ened in various other parts of

the state. The department of foods and drugs of the State

Board of Health has sent out 97

containers for water, issued on

request as means of shipping water samples to the dqiartment

for analysis. But three containers are in the office and Here are about twenty-five requests for

containers on file rccived from

various parts of Indiana.

"The trouble is, persons who attribute typhoid fever to the

condition of the water used for

drinking purjoses are frequently

mistaken," said II. E. Barnard,

state food and drug commission er vesterdav. "The real trou

ble more frequently lies in the

proximity of surface vaults to

seats of infection. Analysis Often Fail. "We have made repeated an

alvsis of water in the laboratory

to fix the cause of typhoid fever

and in manv cases we have, fail

ed to find anything wrong. Per

sonal inspections have revealed the cause of the disease and the

up-ground vault is, in many in stances, held responsible. "In congested centers the dan

gers of the surface vault to the health of the community can not

be estimated. Many cities have excellent sewer systems, for

which they have paid immense

amounts of money, but the peo

pie do not use them. There

are -17.000 vaults in Indianapolis and probably 15,000 are within

the reach of a secwr. Greenburg

has 400 or 500 open vaults, with one of the (best sewer systems in the state. The city was bonded for $00,000 a few years

ago to establish the sewers but

the people so far have not recog

nized the fact that it was constuctcd to be used. Some one ought to write a tract on "The

Value of a Utilized Sewer."

Every city should have an or

dinance against surface vaults

When called upon to investigate

a seat of typhoid infection we

find a number of vaults and or

dered them cleaned up. This, however is only temporizing. The

results are not permanent."

Speaking of water as a source

of typhoid. 'Mr. Barnard said a

common, fallacy throughout the state is that a driven well is a

guarantee against typhoid. On the contrary, he said, the fact

that if it is deep enough to go

through a stratum of soil that is impervious to germ1. Sink Wells Far Down. "The ordinary driven well"

continued Mr. Barnard, is noth

ing but a surface well after

all. Unless the water is be

low hard pan, it offers no more guarantee against typhoid infec

tion that if it were shallo.v. In Thorntown !)0 per cent of the

wells are driven, according to

the citizens but probably 50 per

cent have been driven through dug wells and the water is per-

mittecd to seep down the pipes from the portion that is dug.

HAVE NO MORE SIDEWALKS ON THE CURB

COUNCIL TURNS DOWN PETITION TO MAKE JACKSON STREET UNIFORM.

Fire Alarm to be Installed in Water Works Plant Will Place Speed Signs

No more sidewalks on the curb

in Plymouth. The council has

made up its mind for good and

for all, that the city will not be

distorted any further with irrcgular sidewalks, such as have crept in during the term of the

last city council, in a number of

incidents. A number of residents

of Jackson street, petitioned the

council to order all sidewalks

on that street, from Michigan

west, to be on the curb line, in

order to make the street uniform with a streach of walk now located on the curb. The council turned down the proposition hard, in

special session last night.

Councilman A. R. Clizbe, chair-

man of the water works commit-

tee, was authorized by the council, to purchase a fire alarm, and

have the same installed in the water works plant. The council ordered speed

signs, erected in the city, under

the supervision of Clizbe. Wants Registration Law. "Billy" Blodgett of the Indian-

apolis News, writes a column ar-

ticle devoted to the voting of foreigners immediately after papers have been issued in which they declare their intentions to become American citizens. The article deals with the situation in Lake county, Hammond and Gary where Billy insists the Hunkie vote is the balance of power. Blodgett wants a registration law. Why not a rigid physical intellectual and educational law, for all before they receive their enfranchisement?

Indiana G. A. R., in Parade According to the program of the line of march for the members of the 'national G. A. R. which will hold its annual review in Atlantic City September 21, just received by Coonel J. R. Fcsler, assistant adjutant-general of the Indiana department, the Indiana members will be twentieth in the line in formation of forty-four departments. The Indiana veterans will form in niarching order in Delaware avenue, south of Pacific avenue with the -department of Iowa. Enough Indiana posts will attend the encampment, it is said to give the state a very creditable showing. Fare for Dogs. A notice received by the local officers of the L. E. and W. railroad tells of a new law, known as the dog law, which goes into effect on Sq)tembcr 1. The law says that on and after September 1 a charge will be made for hauling dogs, regardless of size. The minimum price will be twentyfive cents. Heretofore it has been the custom of dog owners to slip the baggageman a piece of change and the canine would ride in the baggage car. Xow the railroad company wants the money. Women Caught in Fraud. Men representing themselves as Chicagoans have swindled Hammond housewives out oi thousands of dollars. The swindle was revealed to the police byMrs. Win. Dutton, who paid ."() cents a week to solicitors until she had accumulated a $25 credit with which when presented in Chicago she was to receive premiums valued at fifty dollars. The address given her" proved to be a fake.

Fourteen months of the operation of the state hoard of account has cr the- state a total of .,V,.".,)(.;o as shown by figures compiled in the office of the auditor of state for the expenditures to date. CJf this amount A'iKV has been spent since the 'beginning of the prcsient fiscal year, Octtfl)cr 1, l'JOI). The Governor has contributed to the payment of the expense in the sum oi Vi;.5 1 from his civil and military contingent fund for office supplies, stationery and sta'mtps, not nrovixkd for by the general assembly, by wliich the department was created. There are no exact totals on the expense of examinations to counties, townships, and cities or on the amount charged back to official.-. It is said, however, that thp amount charged against

officials as a result of examinalion is a1)out twice as much as the total expenses of operating the law. Thus, far, therefore, the public has gained g.uatly in a financial way under the operation of the law, even after paying

all expenses, including city, ttnvnship and county expenses. Aside from salaries, the cost of postage has been the largest item of expense of the board's operations. This class of supplies for the fourteen months has cost .$S.0, due to the large number of sainpies of forms sent out and to the transmission of reports from tiiicf field examiners. Salaries off chief and deputy examiners and clerical h'elp in the office have averaged for the fourteen months from -$1)00 to $1200

a month. Fitting Up the Office.

W. A. Dehority, chief account

ant, who has supervision ovef the expenses of the office, has been receiving congratulations of a nunrher of ,:tatc officials for the showing he has been able to make concerning t?ie expenditures for the time covered. The

cost covers all the nocessarv ex

penses of fitting up the offices.

laying in supplies, including type

writing machines copying machines', ledgers, filling cases and all the other necessary equipment of a modern office. These figures on the board of amounts expenses do not include the expense to townships, counties and -cities of examinations by field examiners. Although a record h'as 1een kept by the state board of such expenses, a total lias not been made, but it is estimated thlat it will run a little more than $100,000 with the 'expenses in individual townships running from $?2.r0 to more than $100. In the townships where tJi-e trustees have their books and records in fairly good condition the expense has been small, whJile in 'townships where the examiners were compelled to spend a

great deal of time in looking up records of purchases and investigating expenditures, the cost Iras run into considerable amounts. Additional cost ha been recorded in a number of townships because the trustees refused to take their books fro the county seats when requested by the examiners to do so. This required extra time on the part of the examiners in the examination of the townships In qeustion. The amount charge id back to officials "because of the examinations is al)iout double that of the total cost of the examinations, it is stated although no total of the actual amount charged back has heen made.

London, Argust 31. The possibility lof bringing about unification of practice in nratttTs of d'vorce throughout the civilized world has been inquired into by n comfit tee of the international law conference and its rqort -was submitted to his conference ccently he!d here.
