Diphtheria Is
Spreading at
STREET.
City Council Asked to Pro
vide Medical Inspection.

The diphtheria developments at the
Woodland street school are two cases
since Saturday one Sunday and one yes
terday. The disease keeps spreading In a
persistent way that is annoying, but the
board of health officials still maintain that
there Is no cause for alarm. The cases
have so far proven of a mild type and
only two or three have been sent to the
isolation hospital, and those because the
patients could not have the best of care
at home.
There are several cases in other rooms
of the building, and while there is no
cause for alarm, the health officials pro-
pose to take every precaution. AT spec
ial meeting yesterday afternoon, the
board voted to ask the city council at the
evening meeting for medical inspection in
the schools.
The board win in the meantime, have
medical inspection at the Woodland street
school daily using City Physician Clark
and several assistants They hope i'm this
way to close every avenue likely to lead
to further trouble and to do away with
every possibility Of having to close the
entire building. The anxiety of parents
makes this step necessary.
The time for action regarding medical
inspection, on the part of the city council
is ripe, the health officials think. Further
delay they believe will prove not only
dangerous, but disastrous

Tobin was up the shop I asked him if
he knew what I could get the shoe that
we pay $3.50 on made for up in New
Hampshire. Did he answer the ques-
tion? No, sir. Tobin comes from that

that the prices paid up there don't

they would, but he declined to make

ALL TRACE LOST.
Capt. Earle Has Not Seen His Dog
Tony Since Last Friday.

Capt David M. Earle mas lost the
coon dog which was recently sent TO
him by friends in the west. The AMI
NAL has been missing since FRIDAY,
when the captain went hunting on
Stonehouse hill, and he has not heard
a. word regarding its Whereabouts
since.
Capt. Earle prizes the animal very
highly. and he offers good thing TO
any one who will be able to locate 1t
for him. The dog is a typical ami
NAL of the west. Tt is a large black
and tan creature, and Capt. Earle says
one of the most intelligent animals he
has ever seen. 1t was sent to Wor-
cester by friends in Grand Rapids,
Mich, arriving last Friday morning,
and the captain and a few friends inn
mediately went out for hunt
The dog. who answers to the name
Of 'Tony," lost his way in some man
ner and the hunters We're unable to
locate him, although they thought he
would show up all right. Members Of
the hunting party feel bad about the
loss of the dog because he was sent
on here by friends of the Keach'em
Koon Klub, and was intended to be
the hound used in the final hunts of
the club this season.
"Tony" has a collar on bearing the
name of Capt. D. M. Earle, and the
captain says ne will do almost any
thing to get the dog back. He thinks
that the finder of the dog, if the ami
NAL is not already on the road some
where, had had ample opportunity 10
communicate with him. 1t is also
thought that the dog may be found
many miles from Worcester, as it is
their custom. in getting into new
country to go out on long run when
once at liberty.
