WEDNESDAY, JULY 29, 1931 FLESHERTON ADVANCE ffcattlt 5eiV OF THE tun iiiciiir a I Aiuurr iaitint CHANT FLEMING. M.D. - ASSOCIATE SECRETARY TYPHOID FKVKR . T One of the most ncourai(inK a- rhievrmonts in the field of public health is the elimination ot typhoid fever in those places where the means j of prevention have been applied. Typhcid fever \va formerly re- sponsible for much sickness and many deaths. Hospital wards were filled with case of the disease, and severe epidemics occured from time to time. All this has been changed, and in tho.*e places where a properly organ- ized health department watches over the water, milk and luod supplies, a c*e of typhoid fever i-s of compar- atively rare oocurcnce. Because it is easier to control the watei and milk supplies of a city than it is those of the country, cities with an efficient health department 'are more free frttn typhoid fever than arc rural areas. - The CR?CS which do oc^ur in tiiej citif Art in vry many liwlance-s toillra.ted OUtnidj of the city. Con- ditions which prevail during the holi- day season are responsible for niu.n of this typhoid People arc apt to forjret that wh^n they leave the city, they leave behind them it.s safe water and milk sutmlies. \V<" stress the water and milk surplus Letaufe typhoid fl.-ver i;; MI.--: commonly spread by water and milk which have b;en contaminated with the si.Te-tions from a (ac. Un- cooki-ii veKctaMes may also ba cor,- laminated, and unit* they are wash- ed most thoroughly, they spread the disease. The common home fly has been called the typhoid fly. It spread.' typhoid fever li-cau.se of its filthy habits. Feeding on filth, it beoomr-.i smeared with secretions which may \ iontain the germ of typhoid fever. Flying from place to place, it de- posits some of this germ-laden filth wherever it settles, which is, in many instances, on food which is laler eaten. For these reasons, it. is a matter worthy of attention to make sure that on short or long trips out ot the city, enquiries should be made as to the purity of the water and milk whirh are to be used, the clean- liness of uncooked vegetables, and the absence of flies from the kitchen and dining-room. By the use of typhoid vaccine, as was clearly shown during the Great War, it is possible to secure protect- ion against typhoid fever. The per- son who travels from place to place and who is almost forced to use water tild ^rfod:i of i,uesticnable purity woud he well advised to safeguard j.imsclf again.;! this disease ' SC f. "ilntr the protection given by inor- ul^tion. Typhoid fever is a long draw n out illness. II is a disease which has mnr.y complications. It may be fatal, and, in any case, it is s;;riour and may damage the body to a con- siderable extent. Be.-ause lof its duration its in an expensive disease to treat, and it is responsible for lost time and wages. There is ont thing to do about typhoid fever and that is to avoid it. Unless you can K : sure of the walor, milk ar.d food you use, it i-3 better to be innoculateo ir.thcr than to take the chance of contracting a sorious disease. Questions concerning Health, ad- <!rr-r-d to the Canadian Medical Association, 18-1 College Street, To- ror'o, will be answered personally by letter.

C. visited the (lovernmcnt turkey (arm at Forest- villts in Noi folk County recently This project \va_< started five years ago on a farm consisting almost en- tirely of hlowsand. At present there arj some 1800 birds at range with 500 more expected. Some of the old- est birds at nine weeks old had at- tained tbe weight of 7 pounds and were ex|n--ted to be ready "for market by September. The system employed on the farm i-j to move th young birds, which uro incubatov hatched, into field h:use at thu ai:e of two weeks. These houses ure placed in fields of yorng rye in \sh>ch the birds arc al- lowed free rangY. By this method and v.-ith the help nf green manure crops ploughed under, a relatively good soil is built up. READ THE SMALL ADVTS. BfYINC; RAW MATERIALS George R. Paterson, in charge of feed and fertilizer distribution for the Department, points out that cost r.f jaw materials is an irnpnrtan'. itcm in the farmer's cost of produc- tion.

In 192J, 120 cr-!onds went oversea.-; and in 1030 it had in- creased to 390 carloads. This year t'he Government confidently looks forward to a total export of 800 car | loads, marly all of it destined for 1 the English market. Men Wear Too Much Every time a hot spell comer- n- round, it te obvious that the Ia<t:e.- dress more sensibly nowadays than the men do. We males may make fun cf them in winter when they seem t'. be wearing so little that a man shiver? *o look at them, but it i* Iho ladies' ti:-n to ccoff when the men go around with the temperature, about ninety, and wearing heavy coats, heavy punts, luuvy hoot?, and -jonietimes vests am', other encumbiances as well, of whijrt the ft i'.V collar is perhaps the w-jrst. It's time for dress reform for men in hot weather. Lots of men admit !t but they don't seem to get much iarthcr. When clothing sticks tc the hide, and its weight becomes c bu.den; when a bathing suit woul<: be the more comfortable costume; when the ladies have no more thai; two or thrt'j layers of silk between ski" and atmosphere, why, oh wh;-. do i:ien have to carry around ton pounds of clothes.
