Total 86 
Cases at homes at which servants were employed 72 
Cases at hotels, hospitals, institutions, etc ’ 31 
Thirty-one cases occurred at hospitals, hotels, or other pubhc 
institutions at which there was a shifting servant population, so that 
accurate data regarding servants could not be obtained. 
As in the 1907 period, there was no instance in which a history was 
obtained of the existence of typhoid fever cases at the homes of the 
servants during the three or four weeks prior to onset of the cases, 
nor was there any instance in which the information obtained indi- 
cated that the infection was conveyed by the servants to the members 
of the employers’ households. 
It appears from the data that servants play but little role in spread- 
ing the disease in Washington.
