dents of the borough have fallen victims to

is responsible not only for pneumonia, but
also for many other diseases Of the respira-
tory organs 1t is great conve nience, but
as it is burned now the CRATES are almost
closed up and no provision made for ventila,

traced to the same source, and quite mum,
