Spanish bullets may kill some in war; disease will kill more at home. Are you anxious for loved ones who have gone or may go to war Then be more careful for those interested to you at home, and see that your premises are kept in a healthy condition.

Un derdrains leading from wells pumps to barrels hidden the ground should be abolished, as they furnish a fertile source for typhoic fever and kindred diseases.
