OF health Is growing alarmed at the
rapid spread OF smallpox all over the
state. New cases are being reported
every day BY health officers of differ
ent counties In the state and in spite of
every precaution cases are continually
originating in new places. Monday the
following counties made reports OF cases
aggregating in all about forty cases:
Fremont township. Hamilton county, l.;
Hamilton township. Hamilton county,
IL: Hamilton township, Audubon coun-

Cook townehip. Lee county. 3; Union

boldt, IL; Bode, 2: Armstrong, L: Dana,
4; Woodward. 2. The latter cases are
supposed to have originated in High
land Park, Dee Moines, and city au-
thorities are blamed by state officers for
allowing exposed people to escape de-
tertion. The situation is rapidly be-
coming more serious and every possible
precaution Is being used seemingly
without avail. Fault ssmes to be with
county officers. who fail to use precau-
tons authorized by the state board Of
