During Janu ary 1930 three cases were reported aa compared to six cases during the same month this year. Doctor Bartholomew issues the lowing warning In his monthly fol-re- port : "The unusual seasonal conditions of the in'st year make an increased prevalence of this disease probable during the current year. Typhoid fever is preventable. "The number of Instances where a previously unknown or undetected 'carrier? has been found to be the source of typhoid fever infection a dear cut indication for the local board of health to exert every effort toward determining the source of Infection whenever this disease (ty phoid fever develops within the board's jurisdiction. Only by aggres sive, painstaking search and appli cation of well known scientific meth ods will typhoid be prevented from developing or increasing. Supervi sion of food handlers is of first im portance." Measles cases reported took a big drop in Nebraska during the first two months of 1931 as compared to the same period in 1930.

An annual habit removal of the winter's ac i umulation of refuse comes into ac jtivity.
