CoarrisMl lilt 8AVIN0 -THB TOURIST CROP. The reckless disregard of health in many regions where the tourist crop it the chief industry it appalling. It it no wonder that "vacation ty phoir it the urgent item in the typhoid column in cities with 'low typhoid ratei and it coming to be the dominating item in the lists of umcr cures at tneir typhoid ratei tall, There are itatet in which the tourist it, and (or lome years hai been, the chief tource of income, wnere the state health departments make no efforts to control sanitary conditions in the resort towns in a way that will guarantee safety for me visitors. Perhaps these government agen cies have read Ibsen's "Enemy of the People," in which there is told the story of a sanitarium head in a water cure village who insisted that the cure must not spread the disease and who was crucified for his con science. Perhaps thev intend to get around to it, but havr not yet had the time. Or maybe the public has not yet put on the pressure of the boycott. But here is another story,. In 1916 infantile parlysis spread from New York city out into Ulster and Sullivan , counties. When the state health authorities sot out there chasing infantile paralysis they stum bled on a certain kind of blind tiger in the hills. They found that tens of thousands of Jews had developed the habit of going up there in the mountains for a cheap, hot weather vacation on a farm. . They . reported what they had found to a Jewish society in' New York city, -the home of most of the vacationists. By 1919 this society had Started a double-barreled campaign. They organized a series of health lectures to the Jewish people in the city. The general subject was: "How to take care of yourself while taking a summer vacation." The main advice related to avoid ance of typhoid, but there were other items of many sorts. They told the people of the city how to select a sanitary farm house; what to look for in the way of priv ies, stables, wells, and garbage cans; what kind of milk was safe; what water to avoid; how to look for 'poison ivy, as well as insects, and how to care for sunburns and other minor injuries. But what's the use of stimulating an appetite if no food is available? Why teach city people how to select a cartitarv (nrrrt hnm.' anr! cfnn there? They did not stop there. They went to the state board of health and got the sanitary engineer to lay down some sanitary specifica tions for farm houses. These empha sized sanitary disposal of human wastes, safe water supplies, protec tion of food from fly infection through screening,; pf.j kitchen and; dining rooms;'1 covering food, and suitable collection and disposal of garbage. ..,-' They got these rules adopted as town health, regulations. They put in a sanitary exhibit at Ellenville. ' They formed a farmers' sanitary league, and this league adopted a sanitary', code. They, employed a corps f inspectors, j ' . The certificate of proper sanitary conditions is granted to farms an nually. , : i ..- Without this certificate a farm house in that section finds it difficult to get patronage from city visitors. 1 Cretin Child's Progress.
