PUBLIC RESPONSIBLE.
Spread of Small Pox Due to
Carelessness.
State Board of Health to Meet Tuesday
to Take SOme Action in
The Matter.

ST. Paul, Jan. 4-The state board
of health will meet Tuesday to take
action which it is hoped, will be
effective in stamping out the epidemic
OF smallpox which is prevalent in
mild form throughout the state DR..
Bracken is convinced that large pro-
portion of the cases reported during
the past few months were due to the
carelessness of the general public and
that something must be done to bring
the people to realizing sense of their
responsibility. All persons and COM
panies employing large numbers of
men in this state will be asked to re-
quire vaccination and agree to dismiss
any person who declines to show sue
cessful vaccination.
The state department is sending out
notices to the health officers in the
various communities of the state and
requesting that the notices be publish
ed in the local papers for the instruc-
ton of the people All persons are in
structed to call the attention of the
authorities to any suspicious condition
resembling measles, scarlet fever,
chicken pox or smallpox. The notice
concludes by informing the private
citizen who fails to make such report
of any case within his knowledge that
he is liable to punishment.
DR.. Bracken says that the attitude
of the people at large is contributing
to the spread of the disease and rem
dering it difficult if not impossible to
suppress the epidemic. Many cases
are neither reported nor properly
isolated and others, because of the
mild form of the disease, are consider
ed chicken pox and are permitted to
infect whole neighborhoods. He urges
that competent physician be called
to examine every case which shows
any of the indications of chicken pox
or of smallpox

FIRE IN NORTH MANKATO.

About one o'clock Sunday after
noon A. Anderson discovered smoke is
suing from the roof of the residence of
Chas. Hopkins on Sherman avenue.
He at once telephoned to the fire sta
ton and the hook and ladder and
chemical responded. The fire, how
ever, had made such Roadway that the
house could not be saved and was en-
tirely consumed. With the help of the
nei ghbors Mr.. Hopkins succeeded in
saving the contents. The fire started
in the attic and was caused by heat
ed pipe.
The main part of the house was one
of the Oldest houses in North Manakto,
having been built some 80 years ago.
1t was formerly known as the Daniels
house. Mr.. Hopkins carried 5000 in
surance in the same.

A CHINAMAN ON AMERICANS.

A Chinaman, on being asked his
opinion of Americans, gave the fol-
lowing reply: "They live for months

They eat bullock and sheep in enor-

prongs. They never enjoy themselves
by sitting quietly on their ancestors
graves, but jump around and kick
balls, as if they were paid for it,
They have no dignity for they may be
seen walking with women.
The Chinaman told only part of the
truth, for he overlooked the fact that
we have the best -four in the world
the most wholesome meat, and that
we drink Golden Grain Belt' beer,

it is the purest. This beer is perfect
