Several Cases in Baraga Are
Thus Determined by
Physicians.
DISEASE is SPREADING.
The Most Stringent Measures
Must be Adopted to Stamp it
Out-Many Cases i'm U. II.

Times without number the small
poX scare has startled people
throughout the country, and in
many instances it proved more
scare than anything else, but
certain it is that 1.-THE dreaded
disease has struck northern
Michigan, and it is stated that
seventeen counties in the state are
harboring goodly numbers Of
genuine cases. which is causing
great alarm and demanding prompt
and vigorous action.
A number of cases have broken
out in Baraga, which several days
ago were pronounced small pox
by local physicians, but, according
to report, the village health officer
did not seem to agree with
them, and but little precaution
was taken. However, one building,
in which the disease was first dis
covered. is now quarantined, and
general vaccination is in order.
Considerable valuable time has been
lost, but it may yet be possible to
stamp out the disease before it
spreads all over the county.
DR.. II. B. Baker, secretary of the
State Board of Health, is now max
ing tour of the upper peninsula,
by order of the governor, aud in
several counties DR.. Baker pro-
nounces the situation critical.
Word was sent to him while he
was in Houghton county, to stop
at Baraga and investigate, but we
are unable to state at this writing
FRIDAY EVENING" whether or not he
has done so.
The welfare OF the public de-
mands that nothing be left undone
to stamp out the disease, and that
without further delay.

graduated the young women upon doing
something practical repel the invasion Of for
eign farm produce The Lord Mayor, in his
speech pointed out that dairy work repaid intell-
gent and educated women. and urged more to
enter the business. The modern English dairy
maid enters for of study at the British
Dairy Institute, at Reading, where she studies
the matter scientifically. and not only learns how
make hard and soft cheese and butter, but
knows why certain processes produce certain re-
suits and produce those results unfatlingly. II
suggested that the settlement Of South AFRICA

women with thorough knowledge of the dairy in
