PLUMBING AND HEALTH i It i» not furprisiiig |M-rii»in- that old ii iikan coneetnihg the c*um-» of disease il survive a lol'g time after4 these ideas <> bsv.- Im.ii generally outgrown or dis- r ci edited. All the sarile it i» a little di»- « concerting to find that typhoid fever can still be complacently attributed to ii bad plumbing. When we read that "in- 1. sullicient laws regulating plumbing and sanitation in Virginia, Maryland and the - District of Columbia are largely respoii- i sible for Uie high typhoid rate and the i prevalence of other diseases in the two g states Slid the district," and again that I "much of the fever and other forms of disease with which the health authorities are constantly w restling is caused a by noxious gases and vapors emanating <' from neglected or defective pipes in the ? homes of the people," we are inclined to ' rub our eyes an.Kask ourselves if the | - education of the community is really jS proceeding at the pace we sometimes j i like to believe. Thy assertions quoted • above, however, were reported as made < at the Association of Plumbers, Gas- 1 fitters and Steamfittcrs which recently ; met in Richmond, Va., and not at a ' convention of health officers or physicians. It ia hardly necessary to point out that typhoid fever — or any other fever — is not caused by bad smells. »yid that the small quantity of the gases of decomposition found in well.ventilated sewers has never been prpved to exert any injurious effect whatever on health, j A connection between plumbing and f health lias been shown to exist at just . one point. Plumbing is of value to public health only so far as it removes human excreta from the immediate neighborhood of dwellings and so does away with the danger of fly-borne typhoid and other infection which arises ( from allowing infectious material to ac- ( cumulate. Disease germs are not found in sewer air; indeed, it is difficult on . physical grounds to see how tlicy_ could . get there. The ."noxious gases and va0 pors," so dear to tin- plumber'- imagination. are conspicuous by tln-ir absence in all perfectly constructed sewer sys- ^ tems. as every visitor to the great sew- ■ era of Paris and other nuMlcm cities ; well knows. Defective plumbing says ! The Journal of the American Medical Association, has about as nrfirb relation to public health as nnv other mechanical defect hi house construction. The most serious obstacle to the universal establishment in sewerod towns of the water-carriage system is the high cost of the plumbing. In this respect every nnni-cessary refinement and elab- , oration in plumbing outfits and legal requirements is a harm, not a help, to piihlig health. The gr<-atest possible simplicity mid cheapness compatible with efficiency is what is needed In really "sanitary" plumbing, not a labyrinth of traps, rents and baek vents. If the plumbing interests really wish to aid the hygienic welfare of the comtnimity they ran host do this, not by insistlng on still more rnmplirati-d devices and "inspections," but Jiv sinplifying and cheapening the cost of installing and maintaining the pipes and fix. tnres essential for carrying off the house wastes in a speedy and inoffensive man TUT.

A NEW REGIME / AT THE CAPE MAY FARMSTEAD We would ask you who reads tills, whether a permanent resident "9t Cejie May, or a summer visitor, to make a visit to the Cape May Farmstead, where improvements in all directions have been effected since last season. Here you will see an up-to-date Dairy, a magnificent Herd of Jersey Cattle, Tuberculin tested, end * Poultsy and Duck Farm that can hardly be excelled. In addition, the herd is under the direct inspection of the State Veterinarian. The Cows are groomed twice daily, and Udders are carefully washed before each milking. Each milker wears a white linen Bait and the Milk is drawn from the Cow into covered Sterilac Milk Pails which are furnished wifli a double set of strainers to pi event any foreign matter contaminating the milk. The Dairy is fitted with all known appliances to ensure the purity of the milk, and all mechanical work is done by electricity. To take all these precautions and provide the best appliances, hat been an enormous expense, and why has this been done! so that our patrons should have such absolutely pure milk that it can hardly be surpassed no matter what source it comes from. Milk is acknowledged to be s< • necessary an article of diet that no precaution taken can be too great to ensure its reliability. Commencing with the first of June we wiH supply select family milk, with a 5% butter fat test at 20c per quart. This will be supplied only in paper non-refillable bottles. The nursery MTlk will be sold at 15c per quart and the household milk at 10c per quart. Speaking of the Poultry Department, we will have 3000 broilers and 1500 Ducklings to supply our patrons, and the supply of newiv laid eggs nnlimited. All our birds are alfalfa fed to produce that sweet and tender flesh which is so desirable to connoisseurs. We also have a large acreage planted with air kinds and varieties of up-to-date vegetables which will be supplied direct to your door daily by our large Truck Wagon. Do not stand in doubt, but give our products a trial and we guarantee you will be perfectly satisfied. The entire plant is under the practical management of GEO. C-REA, Supt.
