AT DANCE
Miss Day Infected at a Party at
lie CIaire-Other
Cases.

There was no change in the small
poN situation i'm the city today. The
doctors were busy vaccinating young
and old and Il number of houses were
fumigated, but the cases of Marshall
Kennedy in South Heights and Miss
Alice Day, who was removed late in
the afternoon yesterday to the hos
pital at the west end of the city,
have been the only ones reported to
the health authorities and the latter
express considerable confidence in
their ability to hold the disease in
check.
In the case of Miss Day it has been
found that infection was the result
of dancing with Davenport young
man while he was in the early
stages of the disease. at n party
in lie Claire. 1t is thought
likely that other cases will develop
in Davenport.

PEOPLE GENERALLY CONDEMN
NEGLECT OF GENERAL CONDITIONS

1t has always been the aim of the
Argus to avoid the least tendency to-
ward the pessimistic spirit in the dis
cussion of matters pertaining to pub
lie policy. There is no inclination TO
waver in this respect in adding a
word to the expressions of depreca-
ton voiced on every hand over the
shocking disease-breeding condition
of the main thoroughfares of the
city at the present time During the
past two days the neglected accumu-
lations of weeks have been lifted by
gusts of wind and blown into the
eyes, nostrils and lungs of people
along the streets, thus sowing the
seeds of illness and working hardship
only secondary to the public health

A Cure for Lumbago.

Some time ago my daughter
caught severe cold. She complain
ed of pains in her chest and had n
bad cough. 1 gave her Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy according to di-
rections and in two days she was
well and able to go to school. 1 have
used this remedy in my family for
the past seven years and have never
known it to fall" says James Prem
dergast, merchant, Annato Bay, ia
maica, West India Islands. The pains
in the chest indicated an approaching
attack of pneumonia, which in this
instance was undoubtedly warded of
by Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. 1t
counteracts any tendency of a cold
toward pneumonia. Sold by all
druggists.
