NO HOUSE MOVING OVER STATE ROADS lite building and maintenance of the state roads is only part of the duty of the division of highways, according to an interview with state highway officials. When a State road is paved, the state assumes full responsibility for its upkeep forever. In addition to maintaining the highways, it must exercise such controll over traffic as to insure that the roads are not put to improper use. In the following statement, Col. C. R. Miller, Director of the Department of Public Works and Buildings, and Frank T. Sheets, Chief Highway Engineer, give an interesting example of one of the many problems the highway officials must face in preventing abuse of state bond issue roads. "We are constantly being besieged by requests from all parts of the state for permission to move houses and other buildings on our paved highways. Charged as we are with the responsibility of seeing that the enormous investments of the state in highway improvements is conserved to the utmost, and that our roads are at all time kept s free as possible from all traffic hazards, we have refused feQ grant such permits. "Our attitude in this matter is sometimes misunderstood and condemned as arbitrary, but such is not the ease. When heavy buildings are moved on danger of damaging or weakening the slab, due to an over-concentration of load at a few points. An equally g^eat objection is that such operations interfeer with the normal highway gerously inconvenient, etaoietaoinshrdl traffic to such an extent as to be inconvenient, if not actually dangerous, to drivers. "We appreciate the fact that it is less expensive to move buildings on the paved state highways than on unimproved roads, but we must at all times hold the interests of the many Itia to on oi£ fived we art deterto take fpfi legal action against wyiMrwho tftfibmpts to put the state o such use without permission."

Rawlings, health director, points out that the incidence of this disease in Illiis now twice what it was a year During June, 124 cases were Mpirted against 71 in May and 68 for* June of 1924, while the first three weeks of July yielded 142 cases compared. with 65 for the corresponding period last year. Typhoid fever prevalence is now greater than on the corresponding date at any time since 1921 and so is the number of travelers and tourists, the latter probably influencing the former, Dr. Rawlings said. "With the time when typhoid fever usually reaches its highest seasonal prafvsleac-e still two months away*', s&id the director, "the prevalence of this disease is double what it was 12 months ago. The marked advance in incidence is fully 30 days ahead of the average for recent years. This condition, which is not at all reassuring, has very probably resulted from the unusually early advent of hot weather which, in turn has stimulated an unusual volume 9f travel, especially by automobile. ' More and more typhoid fever is coming to be a kind of tax levy on indiscreet travelers who fail to appreciate thoroughly the fact that sanitary conditions are not always good away from home. Consequently a bit of excess luggage in the form of typhoid infection is not as rare as it might be. The source of practically all reported cases of typhoid fever has been the subject of investigation and it has been pretty definitely established in many instances. Out of 25 persons who, June 14, atttended a club meeting near China in Ogle county, 9 came down with definitely diagnosed typhoid fever, while 3 others were sick with intestinal infection suspected of being typhoid. All of the sick stated that they had been eating raw salad, served at the party, which was prepared by one of the hostesses who was ill at the time and who had an opportunity of soiling, the food in question with infective matter. • "Seven other ca$e*, ,4. at Elgin, 2 at Polo and 1 at Naperville, were all among people who attended an interstate church convention at Winnona Lake, Indiana. The evidence collected suggests that each of these patients became infected while at Winnona. How many people from other states may be affected has not been determined but the Indiana and federal health authorities have been advised of the situation. "Typhoid fever always results from carelessness, wilful neglect or ignorance. Sanitary precaution!^ such as boiling water and milk and avoiding raw foods of doubtful quality will usually prevent the disease. Vaccination is also effective against it,, the state distributing tacrine gratuitously." teHingi JFWI wm to get a radio free at Ericfe* * 580 P' O. B. Detroit OK*.

This means that 88.4 out of each thousand hogs on the farms of this state were sacrificed to this disease and, at $13.60 the head, took $2,270,697 out of the pockets of their owners. Compared to the year before, however, the losses from this dread disease are somewhat lower. The number of hogs claimed by this malady for 1923 was 187,720, or at the rate of 40 hogs out of each thousand. But with the better showing this year Illinois has to make progress to catch up with the average for the United States which is 80.8 out of a thousand hogs or a total of 1,674,746 for the country. This is the new low record touched last year compared to the 40 to 50 per thousand that was considered usual before. In the epidemic of 1914 the death rate reached 106 per thousand and in the severe, outbreak which reached its' peak in 1897 the rate was 180 per thousand with the industry practically wiped out in some sections. The total loss sustained in the country last year was somewhat above $20,000,000 as compared to $65,000,000 in one previous single year and an average annual loss for the past forty years of not less than $30,000,000. Despite the excellent record of last year Illinois farn\ers are urged by the Institute to take all possible precautious and to be constantly on the alert to prevent infection of their hogs. Greater precaution at the yards and the wide use of protective serums will tend toward improvement in the f u ture as they were effective last year. Once the disease is discovered in the herd, serum treatments should be immediately applied, and the hogs kept on a light diet in sanitary quarters with a plentiful supply of pure drinking water on hand. Hogs having a temperature of 104 in ordinary weather should be given an increased dose of the serum. Too, the premises should be rid of all piles, litter and rubbish, wallow holes, and old straw Macks out of the reach of the hogs. Walls, floors and all surfaces should be sprayed with disinfectant and where possible the interior of hog houses ekposed to the sunlight. Hogs that do not fully recover should be destroyed for they asy Ifce infection.
