OFFICERS ARE REELECTED
Scarlet Fever Has Not Prevailed to
Any Extent During the Last
Twelve Mcnths-1IeasIes Present
In Epidemic Form, but the Nor
tahty Has Not Been High-Diph-

The state board of health held its
annual meeting yesterday and elected
the following officers:

! mona. PNS' u
G. Vice President-Dr. Henry Hutchinson. of
Director Bacteriological Departmept-pr r

There was no election of a secretary.
the present incumbent, DR.. n Il
Bracken, holding over. The hoard diS
cussed the question of an inspection of
school children and the necessity of
having regular inspection in order to
protect the pupils. The plan and pol
icy OF such an inspection was left to
the executive board, which consists of
the officers. The relation of bacteriol
ogy in cases of quarantine of diph-
iberia was discussed, and the board
decided that the cultures were more
reliable than the time test if the Gull
lures were properly taken.
Action was taken looking to an an
nuai inspection of cattle at the several
state institutions. The examination is
to prevent the inmates from tubercu-
losis. In the past the inspection has
been made at various times, but this
year the board will take up the work
Systematically.
The board in a body visited the cap
itol to pay it's respects to Gov. Lind.
The report of DR.. Bracken, the sec
rotary Of the board, says:
Scarlet fever has not prevailed to any
great extent throughout the state during the
past year. We have records of ifty-six out
breaks, with 547 cases. Measles has been
present in epidemic form in many places
but the mortality has not been high
1t Is diphtheria that has been the most
perplexing and annoying infectious disease
During the past year there have been re-
ported to this office 246 district outbreaks of
diphtheria within the state with a total of
1923 cases. 1t Is not at all probable that all
the outbreaks or all the cases have been re-
ported.
The following table showing the records
for the past four years accompanied the
report:
Cases in 1895. $780, in 1895, 1,64S: In 1897.

The sight from Falls View, where the
Michigan Central trains stop, over
looking the falls and ice bridge with
the rocky walls of the gorge hung with
gigantic stalactites, is particularly
grand and picturesque. The news Of
the formation of the bridge is bring

thing quite unique in the history of the
exposition of winter sport and scenes.

to the charges made during the recent
