Big cities, which in many cases have practically eliminated this disease, safeguard their residents against typhoid fever in just thie way. They kill typloid germs which exist in their water supplies and their milk supples. | This is especially 'important. , Most | people who have typhoid fever get it through drinking milk or water that «carries the germs, as these two fluids often carry to us 'more germs of death and disease thar 'any other" food or drink which we take into -our bodies.

It is apparent too that tke farm dweller has not got for his protec- tion the efficient, well-organized, full- time health departments which pro- tect the health of is city cousins. These facts are tragically reflected in the high typhoid death rate in rural Canzda! What then must the rural dweller do to protect himself and his family against typhoid fever? In the first place he should get be- hind the County Hgalth Unit move- ment--the agitation now spreading all over Canada to organize small full-time public health departments covering counties just as such public health departments cover . cities. Quebec has half of its entire rural population covered and protected by euch Units. But that is another story. There are certain things which farmers wives can do to pro- tect their families in the meantime. First of these is the pasteurization of the milk at home. This sounds like a very difficult thing but actual ly it is very easy. If one writes to the Department of National Health, Ottawa, it is possible to make a sim- ple, inexpensive pasteurizing appara- "dus which is absolutely fool-proof and does not involve any great amount of work to operate. Any tinsmith ean make one of these pasteurizing | plants at a very low cost and it should last forever. The caxe of the water supply is a different ntatter but by following a few simple rules a considerable amount of profection may be secur- ed. First of all do not put your faith in home filters. Do not have your well in a low spot below the barnyard where seepage may pcllute not so e farm milk and its it is impos- r the milk pplies of the it is' possible te Deep wells are the safest source of water supply and surface water should be kept out of all well as much as possible. Regular tests should be made of the well water. Your local medical officer of health ean tell you about this. Now one last bit of advice, I u live in an area which is haunted typhoid fever and if you cannot feel secure in taking these simple precautions consult your doctor about having yourself inoculated against this disease. Inoculation is a pro- cuess similar to vaccination against smallpox. It aids your body to pro- dect itself against typhoid germs. This progess was carried out with great success in the Canadian army during the World War. lemma" me Strength = To see the good and the beautiful, and to have no strength to live it, is only to be Moses on the mountain of Nebo, with the lan dat your feet and no power to enter.
