PICNIC DRINKING WATER.
Commissioner of Health Samuel G.
Dixon’s Talks on Health and
Hygiene.
The picnic season has begun. Every
alluring spot for miles around in the
vicinity of the towns and cities will
be the Mecca for pleasure seekers
from now until the frost comes.
Almost every body attends a picnic
sometimes during the season. Now
that the automobile has made even
the remote districts readily access
jble for city dwellers, the number of
urban residents who seek an occa-
sional day's relaxation in the coun-
try, has tremendously increased.
Nobody thinks of going on a picnic
without taking a generous supply of
food but few people are far sighted
enough to carry their drinking water.
Some spring, brook, or farmer's well,
they feel, will be sure to supply this
essential. As a result of this indis-
criminate dependence upon unfamil-
far sources of water supply, there are
bundreds of pleasure seekers Who
contract typhoid fever every season.
That period of the year when ty-
phoid fever is always most prevalent
is that at the end and immediately
following the vacation season. ‘While
this is not alone the result of picnics
they unquestionably play an impor-
tant part in this annual toll of illness
and death.
It is not a difficult matter if one is
taking an auto trip to carry a supply
of drinking water from a source that
is known to be uncontaminated. Mod-
erate priced vacuum bottles of other
forms of containers can be secured
which will keep the water cool.
If a local water supply with which
one is unfamiliar must be used boi-
ling the water for twenty minutes
will make it safe. Unfortunately
clear water is not always pure water. |
The roadside spring is open to pollu-
tion; no matter how attractive the lit-
tle brooklet which babbles along un-
der the overhanging trees may ap-
pear, one must needs follow it to
its source to be certain that it is free
from contamination. So for safety’s
sake carry your drinking water in
the picnic basket.
ST. PAUL.
A number of our people motored to
Dan’s rock, Md., on Sunday.
The infant son of Mr. and Mrs. Ray
Engle died on*Friday and was buried
in the St. Paul cemetery on Satur-
day. The funeral services were con-
ducted by Rev. IL S. Monn, of Sali-
bury. -
Mrs. Annie Harding, of West Salis-
bury was visiting relatives in town
on Sunday.
It is reported that Miss Pearl Hay’s |
Sunday School class consisting nf
boys will hold a social on the evening
of the 26th of June.
. Lillith Martin, a Sccialist speaker
of Anderson, Indiana was the guest
of Mr. and Mrs. Calvin Rhodes over
Sunday. She gave a very interesting
and instructive address on Saturday
evening to a crowded house at Boyn-
ton, on The Reason Why Women
Should Vote. They and the men
should vote the Socialist ticket.
A recent writer said, “War that
would punish only the innocent,
while powerless to punish the guilty, '
would be only a colossal stupidity.”
Many innocent Germans, many inno-
cent Americans would undoubtedly
lose their lives in a war to avenge
the sinking of the Lusitania and the
real perpetrators of the deed—the big
men of Berlin would go unpunished,
and the victims of the Lusitania
would still remain dead.
