(Uy Special Correspondent.) ALBANY, N. Y., June 24.—If you or your family go away from home for a vacation this summer It wiii be partly for pleasure, but mainly for HBALTH. You hope to come back Strengthened and refreshed for the work of the coming year. It is an unfortunate fact that many people ttko have saved up for their vacations la this spirit come back, not strong aad well, but infected with germs of diooasc tbat will keep them for weeks oa a Blck bed and if they recover will leave them for months afterward in »oor physical condition. "VACATION TTPHOID" is a far too familiar fact to every city health officer.
file State Department of Health dOTOtea a great deal of attention to She supervision of the sanitary condi- tioOB of summer resorts. The people of the state could do much themselves to old In this important work if they would take steps to inform themselves koforehand about the precautions

taken by hotels and t>osrding honses to protect their guesU. The state in- 8pe( tor (annot be. on tbe ground all tne time, but the hotel keeper has a profound respei-t for the educated ptiblic opinion of his patrons.
Before deciding where to go for va¬ cation find out all you can about the I water supply and sewage disposal, the [milk supply and the presence of 'n- sect pests.
' Make it clear that the WATER , SUri'LY mu6l be piit^tly prulected from sewage contamination, and If you find when you arrive 4^t It is taken from a stream br potad into which sewage enters without proper purification yair~»liould cancel your reservation. If the water comes from a well be sure that it is not polluted by washings from the surface of the ground. The well curb should be raised at least a foot above the ground and the top covered over by a tight board cover or a concrete slab. Tbe weil should be as far away as possible from any special aources of pollution such as cesspools or out¬ houses.
If the house has a regular water closet and sewage system, flnd out where it empties and whetbei' the sewage pours into a lake from wbicb you are expected to drink or in which you arc expected to bathe. If there is an outside dry cloSet, make sure that the closet is TIGHT and the closet screened to KEEP OUT FLIES. Flies carry disease germs from such places to the dinner table.
There is always danger that FLIES or MOSQUITOES may carry disease. Files breed in decaying fllth and mos¬ quitoes in stagnant water, and both of these pests ran he largely controlled by sanitary conditions of the prem¬ ises. If the dining room is black with flies when you arrive, REMEMBER WHERE THEY MAY HAVE BEEN and try another hotel at once.
Drink only Grade A and Grade B pasteurized milk or certifled milk, for the other kinds are always likely to hecome contaminated.
You can get healthy conditions that will Insure a happy vacation and send you back to your home in the best of health and vigor—If you will de¬ mand them.

"It is my duty and tbe duty of tbe State to warn you of your condition. Wben pollution comea tbere will be trouble. Avoid trouble, provide for the future. Prepare tiefore there is a suspicion of danger. Modern >health work Is not curative but prevents tlve. Prevent your-water supply from becoming bad!
"There Is another difflculty which you probably experience, that of the underground strata of clay. If your cesspool, no matter bow big or small, is built over this strata, you cannot possibly get it to work.
"Cesepool cleaning In Freeport is costing more than you are aware. Freeport is the only village that I know of that has a record of the number of cesspools cleaned. £ The record of permits sbows that ^,000 a year is spent. The contcnte are dumped in the fields outside of the viiiage. The amount of cleaning re¬ quired is Increasing at a tremendous rate. Cesspool cleaning ""'">- will be iess. The work is very grude.
"What is the attitude of the State Department of Health? Some of you may fear that the State board wili force the construction on the town. That the State will not do. The con¬ dition is not anywhere serious enough Lo demand such an attitude. The State is carrying on a plan of educa¬ tion, along all lines, especially that of sewering. Within two or three years a condition is likely to arise which will cause you to take decision. Do not wait too long.
"To sewer the whole village it would cost $360,000. There is no need to do that now. An expendi¬ ture of $125,000 wlll meet the needs of Freeport for five or ten years. Lay a good basis and then you can add lo it as it becomes necessary.
"There certainly can be only one objection to' the installation of a sewerage system; that is the cost. You say it will increase the taxes. That is why you ought to give the matter ample consideraion. The in¬ dividual cost to a taxpayer can be fig¬ ured out with little work.
'Freeport is one of the most pro¬ gressive villages on the South Shore of Long Island. Do you want suspic¬ ion to fall on your water supply? Consider carefully the situation!
"The water supply of Long Island villages and tbeir methods of sewer¬ age disposal will be the subject of special examination by the State Health Department every few months from BOW on. The results wlll be made public, and well they might be. The best asset of a village is its hoalth. Preserve and maintain the reputation of Freeportj, as the most progressive vlllage on Long Island. Consider the matter in a serious way. Nothing can be gained by dodging the queation or by secrecy."
A. S. Malcomson, of Smith & Mal¬ comson, at the request of Village President Lamb, explained quite clearly and conslsely the proposed adaptation, to cost $130,000. Th«. president, for the information of those present, outlined the present flnancial condition of the vlllage at the present time:

E. J. Smith and John Hill spoke on the cost and the value of the adaptation. Frank Stevens spoke in favor of the installation of a sewer¬ age system but believed that enough 'llllld be spent to take in the whole village at once rather than to provide only for certain limited portions. "The people In my comiminity," he said, "ate opposed to the considera¬ tion of tbis adaptation. We are not opposed to sewers. But we do not approve of plans that take in five- eights of the village when the other three-eights have to pay interest on the bonds."
Ex-Judge Elvln N. Edwards said in part: "The matter of sewerage is the most serious problem ever brought before this village. We ought lo go along slow." Mr .Edwards moved the appointment of a committee ot nine by President Lamh to act wjth the Boar dof Health as an advisory committee; to study the plans of this system, of other systems, to hear aud talk with other Engineers, to insure thc greatest, economiee, provide fcr the greatest humber and to report to citizens at a later date.
In seconding tbe motion, J. Huyler Ellison suggested a geographical con¬ sideration in appointment. With this suggestion embodied In the resolu¬ tion It was passed despite the one dissenting vote of W. P. Jones, who said be didn't want to consider the matter. "We don't want sewers," he said, "we want to vote them down."
Following a few remarks by Dr. Overton who congratulated the vll- lage, the meeting adjourned.
