which launched the RediCross stamp
into the cahnnelB of national chaHty,

hook and corner of the country, v
Under 'existing 1 arrangements , ' the
proceeds from the sales of the stamps

I senger which only posts one cent. We
have not statistics at hand to give
the exact amounts which have fceeh
received from the Red Cross stamps,
"but it is 'known that thousands of sui-
terers have been relieved and the
jives of many others have been saved.
Urgent appeals are now being made
to Christmas shoppers who are send
ing gifts to all parts of the country,
The expenditure of one cent for a
Red Cross stamp, which is placed on
1 the BACK of the letter, is not a great
gift in itself, but added to the thous
ands of other Red Cross seals passing
through the mails, your stamp is just
as effective in the relief of the sick

ThA'fvlnlrtTi nf fhP P.itvAttnrnev of
Ottawa, holding that the city is "liable
fpr the damages caused by its .permit
ting the pollution of the puhlicrwater
supply, may come as a surprise to
many who are'n&t familiar 'with the
trend of ; legal decisions in matters afr
fecting, the' public health:: Th opin
ion; however, is in line Tvlth a tlecision
given not very long ago- by the Su
preme "Court of Minnesota, in-which
it wa? held that when a: municipality
unoertaKen tp'iurnisn us ciuzens wun
a water supply and the people are de
pendent upon that supply, and when
the water supply is polluted and made
dangerous by the failure of the public
officials to property protect the same,
then the city may be held liable for
the loss and damage jclacused by the
sickness and deaths caused by disease
due to the contaminated water supply.
The- condition that confronts the city
Of Ottawa, while ' new and unusual as
affecting municipal- responsibilities for
the proper perfofmance of a public
function, is yet one that, clearly marks
a forward step In . public sanitation.
Nothing can be clearer than1 the re-
spohsibility now resting uponbpth the
civiccdnscience- and the. civic -treasury
of a city to leave nothing undone in
the way of safeguarding thp health of
its' people as affected by and' through
the' competent' and intelligent Admin
istration of the public service.. In other
words, it means that city' officials will
find that it will pay t spend money
to prevent typhoid rather than pay
for the damage caused by inexcusable
indifference and neglect of public duty.

A serious epidemic occurred in a
town in this state a little over a year
ago in which hundreds of cases of ty
phoid occurred and a number of deaths
resulted. Some one was responsible
The State Board of Health called at
tention to the polluted water early in
the course of ytha -epidemic, but the
authorities in charge were so slow in
taking prompt and prpper aetion that
the ' epidemic continued to " grow. . No
one seemed to think of fixing the re
sponsibility, but it Houbtless could have
been fixed and damages secured had
some one taken steps as in Ottawa.
It will not be long before municipal
authorities, . health authorities and
water works authorities are' held
strictly accountable ' for needless
deaths from typhoid and other prevent
able diseases, and then will come an
age of health work.
Every case of typhoid comes from
some tother cases of typhoid. There is
no such thing as spontaneous develop
ment of typhoid fever germs. It is
only when cases of typhoid are not
properly safeguarded that the disease
spreads. Some one is responsible for
eavery case of typhoid,' and the sooner
we begin fixing the responsibility the
better.
Typhoid is contracted pnl y means
of the mouth. We drink water or milk
polluted with typhoid germs or eat
food contaminated with typhoid fecal
matter from fingers and flies, and ty
phoid oilows.
