Show THE RICH COUNTY REAPER. RANDOLPH. UTAH i ' r Let Our Motto Be GOOD HEALTH BY DR. LLOYD ARNOLD Professor of Bacteriology and Preventive Medicine, University of Illinois, College of Medicine. v i JYPHOID FEVER NOW A ' COUNTRY DILEASE The contracting of typhoid fever by a group of circus performers last year a great deal of publicity in received the newspapers throughout the country. Fifty years ago this happening not have considered would been 'r Hoosiers Are Sceptical of Making Desert Bloom headline news. Deaths from t were then too common. In Chicago alone. In the three years preceding the Worlds Fair iof 1893, there were approximately 5,000 deaths from typhoid. Now, with a population of over three million, Chicago has an average death rate from typhoid of about eighteen a year. The rural section of the state, however, has a much greater proportion of deaths. In 1930 there were 154 deaths from typhoid fever in Illinois. The number of cases has dropped proportionately, too. ; Typhoid, originally a city disease, has now become a country disease. This is because sanitation has been developed in the cities and larger towns, while in the country districts the drinking water is too often contaminated with sewage. In the country districts people drink raw milk; In the cities pasteurization Is required. Health officers hope that some day they will be able to stamp eut typhoid fever completely. But they wont be able to do it so long as sewage can seep Into drinking water, and so long as there are human typhoid carriers about Typhoid is a filth disease. It was suspected of being that for some time, but it was not until the germ cansing the disease was discovered by Professor Ebertb In Germany in 1880 that we were able to understand why typhoid fever is associated with filth.' Typhoid fever is infectious; each new case Is caused by swallowing typhoid germs, and the germs are in the feces and sometimes .the urine excreted by a person who has typhoid. Then when this excreted material gets Into the drinking water of hnmans and is used for washing raw vegetables or fruits, or it gets directly on the hands of persons handling milk or food, then a person swallowing this contaminated water, milk or foodstuff, is liable to contract the disease. There are more cases of typhoid fever in the late summer and early fall than at any other time of the year. Under normal conditions the stomach and intestines can destroy ordinary doses of bacteria swallowed with the food, for a healthy intestinal tract has an enormous power of But when a person has diarrhea or other digestive disturbance, tbis power of destroying bacteria is lost, and It is easy to become infected. Typhoid carriers are either persons who have such mild cases of typhoid fever that no one suspects them of having typhoid, or else persons who have had typhoid fever and apparently recovered, but were left with small ulcerated areas in the gall bladder and adjacent regions. The germs grow in these diseased parts and are passed into the digestive tract and on down to the feces. These persons, though Innocent of wrongdoing, are a menace to health' wherever they are, for they are walking reservoirs of typhoid germs. They should neyer.be allowed to handle milk or foods of any kind. of public Most state departments health require that all food handlers and persons working In connection with dairies be examined periodically. It is comparatively simple to protect oneself against known carriers of typhoid germs, but it is practically impossible to protect oneself against the . unknown carriers. 5 In: the research, laboratories of the University of Illinois College of Medicine, Dr. Lars Gulbrandsen recently discovered a method by which treatments could be applied over the liver and' gall bladder of typhoid carriers and cure these people of the cartreatments are rier state. These not severe but are In fact very light doses of y given once every two weeks and repeated five or six times. The patients are not sick. They do not go to bed and the typhoid bacteria gradually disappear from the feces. This is a discovery of great value. It means that as soon as typhoid carriers are known, they can start treatment, and they will no longer be barred from handling milk and other foodstuffs. But more Important from the public standpoint, it means that these reservoirs of infection can be eliminated. It marks a great step forward in our conquering of typhoid. Isaiah said, The desert shall rejoice and blossom as the rose. Longfellow spoke of great mens sublime lives leaving footprints on the sands of time. Others pushed irrigation projects along the Nile and did what they could to make useful the sandy wastes of the Sahara. Sand possibilities have been brought nearer home by experiments at Rutgers university, where agricultural experts say their efforts to grow roses, sweet peas and other flowers in ordinary sand have met with unqualified success, cites the Indianapolis News. Professor Charles H. Connors, head of the ornamental horticultural department at Rutgers, says that seashore gardeners, by applying chemical nutrients to the sand, may be able to grow flowers to the very edge of the ocean. They regard sand as almost completely under control of the grower, providing it has been enriched with the proper ingredients, and say that roses grown in sand produce a better root system than those in ordinary soil. Carnations also are said to do better in sand. Nature lovers have cultivated an affection for sand because It is sand and nothing else. They journey to see the dunes of northern Indiana as a vast waste space, shifting with the winds ; never the same from day to day. The charm of a beach comes from the play of sunlight on the sand, the soft and yielding texture under foot SdD ' and the dazzling whiteness of the ista that is exactly as nature created it. Growing flowers along the seashore or attempting such ventures in the Indiana dune region is not unlike painting the lily.
