The following circular has been re
ceived by DR.. P. g. Grimm. Of Buffalo
Gap, superintendent of the board OF
health, of this, Custer county:
Office of the State Board of Health,
April 25th, 19O2.--To the Board of
Health of Each County, in the State Of
South Dakota--Gentlemen: From re-
ports at this Office during the present
month, 1t appears that small pox is
prevalent in many counties in this state /;
that the county. city and township boards
are hindered in the discharge Of their
several duties by not having cases re-
ported to them by physicians in atten-
dance upon such cases and by parents
and guardians in charge of premises
where these diseases are prevalent. In
this state of affairs. desire to call your
attention to that part Of section Is Of
chapter SO of the session laws of 1896,
which read as follows:
"Any practicing physician or other
person who shall fail to report to the
superintendent of the county board of
health the existence of any contagious
or infectious disease, shall be deemed
guilty of misdemeanor, and upon con-
viction thereof shall be punished by a
fine Of not more than one hundred dol.
lars or by imprisonment in the county
Jail for not more than six months, or by
both such fine and imprisonment. in the
discretion of the court"
1t is evident that the spread OF the
disease is not going to be stopped until
every possible means within our power
is used, and with this end in view,
urge upon the members and especially
the superintendents of all the boards to
resort to the provisions of this section.
One superintendent of county
board reports that single conviction
with fine Of 500 attached, has resulted
in having all or nearly all OF the cases in
his county reported, and If you get all
cases reported and use every means
within your power, you will be able to
stop the spread of the disease within
your county. Let Us haye prompt and
united action on the part ofevery health
officer and the cooperation Of every
good citizen to the end that contagious
and infectious disease may be stamped
out in every county of this state. Yours
truly and fraternally,
A. ii. ROGERS, NJ. d.
President and Superintendent of the
State Board of Health,

TESTING PLANT.
In Denver there is a plant which is
devoted exclusively to testing the ore of
mines all oyer the western country for
the purpose of determining accurately
the best method of treatment. The
mine owners who have sent ores there
for various treatments have in some
cases been saved waste of money that
might otherwise have gone into the
erection of plants unsuited to their ores.
More thorough testing of the best meth
cd of ore treatment should precede the
erection of costly plants. Much money
has been lost on mills constructed &C.
cording to the notions of noted metal
lurgists and such plants have stood as
monuments of failure to discourage fur
ther efforts of capital in the vicinity. 1t
is customary for owners to observe per-
sonally all the various treatments of
their ores made by the Denver expert
ment plant. This Colorado enterprise
should be employed by operators who
have never had satisfactory results from
their ores.-Lead Call.

of the state, it is net improbable that
a measure looking to this end will
be init oduced at the session. In ex-
traordinary sessions the governor
has no power to dictate the subjects
to be discussed, which is the case in
special sessions, and the prohibition
lists are highly enthused over the
victory just won in Kinds county,
which is likely to give them conf
dence that statutory prohibition
bill could be passed. At the recent

There is a world OF truth in the

qualities, is playing into the hands o
