Smallpox is. becoming too common

lessness in handling it, said Secre-
tary Bracken of the state board Of
health yesterday. II have received
letters and complaints from Brandon,
Holdingsford, Cokato, Kingston and
Elbow Lake that the county health
boards and officials are not looking
after the disease as they should.
The residents in the several sections
where the disease is reported are
avoiding quarantine by not calling in
physicians and consequently the dis
ease is not diagnosed. One man with
the disease reached Minneapolis Mon
day from Lillibridge's lumber camp,
near ACass Lake. Walker & Ackley's
camp at Ten Strike also sent another
patient to Minneapolis.
Eight men arrived at Atkin Mon
day from Posters camp in Cass coun-
ty. Three of the men had the disease
and the other five had been exposed to
it. All of the men had Travelled on rail-
road trains and this accounts for the
spread of the disease. Steps will be
