The leading ot tnecountr.v are condemning the a i i annexation scheme in most outspoken terms. Most of them are of the opinion that there is a job bark of it and all seem to be agreed that Ihe polyglot population of the li'p'osy jstricken inlands is riot the stuff of which American citizens are made. There is reason for national pride in the renult of the "varsity boat race.

The purpose of the meeting was to consider contagious diseases and act on complaints before the Health Officer, Dr. Nelson, sailed for his European trip. The following commissioners were in attendance: Mayor Berry, Health Officer Nelson, Sanitary Inspector C. C.

C. C. Lutes, J. Adams, C. Redfield, M.

and F. TV. Elliott. Seventeen cases of typhoid fever were reported. The contagion was discussed as to its cause and prevention.

In view of these cases and for the prevention of new cases the Board recommends that all water and milk used for drinking or culinary purposes be boiled. As a general precaution it recommends that the excrements be buried. Should tbe patient be so located that those in attendance are unable to do this, the vessel used should contain a solution of carbolic acid, and after throwing coutf nts into closet, the closet should also be dis- infected fey same solution, flushed out and wiped dry. The cloth used should be at once burned. "Where theescrerneDt is buried, a saturated solution of copperas should be used.

The solution of carbolic acid can be made by using one tablespoomul of pure carbolic acid to a quart of wafer. Feeding utensils used by the patient should be first carefully vashed in the solution mentioned and hen placed iu boiling water, after using. All linen used should be mmediately placed iu the same solution and soaked for six hours then boiled for half-hour and thoroughly washed.
