CONDITIONS GENERALLY BAD
Oaly ta Sfardy t oaatltatloa of the
Farmer avea Mtta from Mere

The boantd bealthfulrtens of the farm
fa a myth, according to rrof. Ueorge E.
Condra, . member of the Nebraska rura'
life commission and of the facultr of the
Vnlverslty of Nebraska,
Before tha meeting of the Nebraska State
Health assoclstlon, , which Iwgan a two
...... ni Liifii munuiy morning, jttui.
Condra spoke about water supply condi
tions In small towns and farms, wliare
wells are used, and 'the substance, of his
observations through years of Investigation
leads him t commend a state well com
mission that Will condemn the water sup-
yir in an unneaitny places.
1 "The farmer can stand the unhealthy
condition In which he Uvea because his
body has been fortified against , germs
through nard exercise. The city man who
la used to protected water goes to the farm
and tries to live under the same circum
stances. He Is likely to contract typhoid.
I know of many cases of Just that kind.
'Farmers should be taught two general
rules. If they are en a slope outhouses and
yards for antmala should be put below the
wells, not above them, and If th ar
living on a-stream the well must be some
distance up stream from the buildings and
yards. Farmer everywhere neglect these
conditions and the only reason that they
survive Is the natural vigor of their out
door lire, city people on a farm had better
drink beer than the bad well water that
la usually found
"In small towns a well and an outhouse
should never be put on the same lot and
health would prevail much, more generally
If all towns had a common water supply
that could be watched and all shallow wells
b abolished,"
" Arrive Late.
Many of the delegates to the convention
of doctors, health Inspectors and others
Interested In the conservation of publlo
health were not present at the morning
meetings, but made a round of the hospi
tals for Interesting clinics. Mayor Dahl
i man opened proceedings with an address
1 of welcome. Dr. . T. Qulgley of North
f Platte, president of the association, lntro.
' duced Prof, Condra, who made the only
address of the morning.
A plan for an Inventory of health In small
places In Nebraska was submitted by Prof.
Condra. "We want every country and
mall town physician," he said, "to help
us during the ,next year to make a thor
ough and complete report of all the condi
tions sanitary and In regard to health of
farm life In Nebraska. We want to know
all about eating 'ind skeeDln conditions
ventilation, and wells. Then we can pro
ceed with our work on a surer basis of
knowledge."

Members of the Park board say that the
