Reports from the pla%gue.stricken

ease is still spreading and that the
burying of the head is o most serious
problem. Often the %pallbearers, who

grave, r stricken with the dread dis.
ease on the way, and of the four who

in Canton at present. Tho giving away
of collins has been undertaken by
charitable associations, one of which

are not buried at all and the baby
towers are full. The baby towers are
little buildings with windows near the
roof. The babies are laid on the win
dows and pushed inside to decomposa.
Many of the dead at Canton have no
burial plot and their collins are left on
the top of the ground. 1t is said that
