Smallpox Increasing.

Handicapped, he asserts, by lack Of
funds through the action of the last
legislature, DIR. Benjamin Lee, secre-
tary of the State Board of Health, an
nounced Thursday that the constantly
increasing numbers of cases of small
pox aud centers Of infection through
out the State are serious menace to
the health of the people. In this con-
nection he said that through the
prompt and efficient action of the city
health board, which he could not praise
too highly, Philadelphians were more
free from contagion than the residents
Of any other portion of the State.
DR.. Lee, who had just returned from
meeting Of the. American Public
Health Association, in New Orleans, of
which heis the retiring president, said:
Smallpox in Pennsylvania is rapid
ly getting as bad as it was during the
height of the epidemic last year. In
fact it was worse during the past four
months than during the same period a
year ago, and as the weather grows
colder the number of cases and centers
Of infection are multiplying rapidly.
"Through the action Of the last legis-
lature in disseminating the emergency
fund of $50, 900 which we had for sey-
eral years to fight disease, our hands
are practically tied. Our only resources
are an appropriation of 81, 900; we need
more than three times this amount i'm
mediately. Consequently while pre-
viously we we've able to stamp out any
epidemic when it first appeared we
are now powerless. Smallpox is spread
ing throughout the State and the situa-
ton is most serious. We can declare a
quarantine but on account of our lack
of funds cannot establish one.
"For the official year ending the first
Of this month there were 5,s87 cases of
smallpox and 446 deaths. During last
month there were 875 cases and SO
deaths, while In November Of last year
there were only 249 cases and 40 deaths.
Companion Of other months show the
same increase In the number of,sases
and deaths. The matter Il most ssriou,
