the Reconstructipn Finance corpor

of sectinng funds to pay teachers
i The .stumbling block to immediate
negotiations, he said, is the state’s
failure to repay $1,236,000 of the
$3,400,000 1932 loan. Some payments
already have matured without being
met, he pointed out..
“Weintend to repay that amount as
soon as tax collections place the mon

“There are good prospects of borrow

that is done.”

The rural communities and the iso-j
lated homes have lagged behind in the :
program of sanitation until copvpara-j
I lively recent years; when the develop- j
tanks and other sani-l
tary methods of excreta disposal have
made it possitde for the rural homes
to be as safely sanitated as the city
homes.
A study of the incidence of typhoid
fever shows that it is especially prev- |
alent during the summer months. The >
reason for this is that a great many
^ases of typhoidfever are spread
t'hrough the medium of flies.
If one takes all of the precaiit’ons
already mentioned; that is, to sani
tate his premises and arrange for the
proper sewage dispo.sal, to see that he
bas a perfectly safe water supply and
that the milk is either pasteurized or
boiled, his chances of contracting ty
phoid fever are much smaller, but
