 Ths borough had been free from any contagious disease until yesterday siuce March 6. If there should be no spread of diphthRria from the death of the infant chlld of MT Smith, Health Officer Cramp. ton will have easy work until hot weather as the borough Is in the healthiest condi. tion we have ever known it. It will take him fully year to become conversant with all the duties that should devolve upon him. and our citizens can do much toward keeping down disease. by keeping their drains and outhouses in a sanitary condition. The report of health officer fol the past two years shows that both disease and death can be abated by watching and keeping sweet our surroundings; also, that thousands of dollars were saved to ouI citizens in physicians bills. But to the victor belorg the spolls and experience counts for little when party has a politi cal axe to grind.
