At Chicago two hundred and twenty
four smallpox patients were admitted to
the pesthouse during the months of Au-
gust, September and October, this year,
as against eighteen admitted during the
same period last year. Such was the
statement made by DR.. Cazier to the Pub
lie Health Committee of the Civic Fed
GRAFTON. A member of DR.. Cazier's FAM
lily was stricken with smallpox last month
and DIR. Cazier went with him to the pest
house and remained there until recovery
1t was In report of what he saw there
of the conditions and management of
the smallpox hospital that this statement
was made. 1t contradicts most emphati-
cally the generally believed opinion that
smallpox has been about stamped out in
Chicago. 1t shows that there are twelve
times as many new cases now as there
were year ago, when smallpox was sup
posed to be epidemic.
Charles f. Strong, manager of the
Chicago Newspaper Union and of it's
branches in Sioux City and Fort Wayne,
died Wednesday morning at his residence
in Chicago. His fatal illness dates from
the time of his attendance upon the re-
cent meeting of the Typothetae in Phil
adelphia, Sept. 1921. For several days
after this meeting he was unable to re-
turn to Chicago, and since then had not
been able to attend his office regularly
Wednesday, Nov. Z, he was at work,
but that night he was compelled to retire
to his bed. For several days the greatest
concern was felt, but Monday and Tues
day he seemed improving. His physi-
clan, who had been constant in attend
ance, RENTED his watch, and the mem
bers of the family retired in the evening
About midnight, however, the crisis
came, and thirty minutes later all was
over. The immediate cause of his death
was heart failure, induced, no doubt, by
asthma, from which he had for many
years been a great sufferer.
The Paterson Hotel at Harper, Kan,
was burned to the ground about i o'clock
Friday morning. Nearly forty guests
were in the house at the time, and but for
the bravery Of young girl many of them
must have lost their lives. AS it was,
most of them escaped with only their
night clothes and some of them had to be
dragged out by the stronger ones. The
heroine of the occasion was Maud Scher-
~
who herself suffered dreadful burns and
other injuries while saving others. She
staggered up the stairway and from door
to door calling upon the inmates to
awaken. Before she had got far the
smoke became Overpowering and she sank
on her knees and hands, and in this way
crawled through the passages giving the
alarm. Having reached the last door she
fell exhausted and lay there in a stupor,
burned and bleeding. The guests had all
been aroused and were fleeing from the
building. One fortunately had to pass
the place where the young heroine lay,
and as he passed her PROSTATE body he
lifted it up and bore it to safety.

"When we reached Texarkana," said
Miller, "Mrs. Smythe made coffee and
prepared the meal. An hoar and half
afterward l was almost overcome by

was in wise. None of the others were
taken sick. The inference is obvious
When the train pulled into Little Rock
/ walked along the platform near the
front of the car. When the train was
about to start / got on board, and did
not see Smythe. While had been on the
platform water men had unlocked the
rear door to supply the drinking tank,
and Smythe had evidently skipped by
them" Smythe is charged with using
the mails to defraud A. Golfer & Co., OF
