10 The Health Bulletin Maij, 192' least about, yet it is one of the most important avenues of infection. The only recognized typhoid fever epidemic in North Carolina in the past few years was milk bourne. Milk is a perfect food for the jrrowth and multiplication of pathoj;enic or disease bearing bacteria. The temperature of the milk as it is taken from the cow is ideal for bacterial growth. One case of diarrhea at the farm supplying the milk even if the person is not sick in bed may be responsible for the entire child population of the camp developing diarrhea. This accounts for much of the intestinal disorders of children on vacation trips, commonly attributed by mother to unsuitably prepared food and sundry other less likely causes. A case of typhoid fever or the presence of even an unsuspecting typhoid carrier among the milk handlers will subject the whole camp ix)pulation to typhoid fever, one of the prevalent sources of ''vacation typhoid.'^ The majority of the summer camp population are accustomed to protected milk supplies at home, where milk handlers are given frequent physical examination, the milk is produced under cleanly conditions, and the milk is properly cooled. ^Yherever ix)ssible the camp milk supply should be obtained from a source of highest grade under careful public supervision. When this is impossible the source of supply should be carefully investigated to secure milk produced under cleanly conditions, and to make sure that there is no sickness among any of the persons connected with the handling of milk. The State Board of Health will furnish to any person upon request, a copy of the ''Standard Milk Ordinance" which is the regulation in force governing the majority of the milk supply of the State, and will serve as a very useful means of appraisal of the character of milk supply available. Garbage Disposal Improper garbage disposal in itself is not usually a positive health menace, for the only filth that is dangerous filth is feces of man himself. Aside from the nuisance and unsightliness it creates, improper garbage disposal increases the prevalence of flies by providing a suitable place for fly breeding and an abundant food supply. If there is any disease bearing material anywhere about or near the camp, the chance of the food supply becoming infected is proportionate to the in- Fig. 2, Section of a dug weU with pump showing proper type of casing and protection about the top.
