IN the judgment of the South Deer
neld (MaSs.) Farmers Club potatoes
when properly cared for are, rext 70

can raise. The trouble Is, potatoe are
100 often neglected and receive atten-
clon only when other crops are cared
Tor. Turf land is the best, except in
very dry seasons. PlOw in the fall

ChEvELANp. o.. Dec ii.-A letter
from DIR. a. w. Hopkins. OF Ashtabula.
received at the Office of the state board
OF health yesterday gives the details
OF the terrible ravages Of dipa,hcria in
that city. The disease commenced on
December i. and up To yesterday there
had been sixty eases ana ten deaths re-
ported
The authorities are doing all posi-
bic 10 stamp out the disease The
schools have been closed and all pub
lie asscmblagcs are prohibited. Thir-
ty-scvcn houses are under strict quar-
antine and Dr. Miller, Of Cleveland. a
member Of the state board. has gone
to Ashtabula to assist the local health
officer
The disease was scattered about the
city in very peculiar manner. having
Its origin through contact with milk
man. The dairyman was suffering
with a mild attack OF diphtheria, but
not aware Of his condition. he con-
tinued to assist in milking the cows.
and with the exception OF two days,
peddled milk along the usual route.
The disease developed along the same
territory. and the authorities are firmly
OF the opinion that the contngion was
spread through the city by the milk
man.
When questioned by the local health
officers, the nilnan stated that he
suffered from sore throat. but had
not the slightest idea that it was diph-
iberia His business has been com
pletely suspended by order OF the board
Of health.

nant Diphth. ria.

AsHTABrLA. O., Dec. -Diphthcria
in malignant form is epidemic here
and numbers its victims in all sections
OF the city. There are now nearly 100
eases reported. Since Saturday ten
deaths have resulted from the disease.
four having died Tuesday night.
The board Of health ordered the
schools closed Monday. and has
recommended that no meetings or
public gatherings be held Mt
present How the disease became 50
simultaneously scattered is problem
yet nnsolved. \ strange coincidence
was the fact that the ma joritv Of the
frst victims were using milk furnished
by certain city milk man. The board
OF health investigated the matter and
pronounced the milk free from disease
germs. The city is ranic-s,riclscn. and
many families are leaving until the
epidemic Is under control.
