NORTH BELFAST. The smallpox scare
has entirely subsidized. The last person ex-
posed to it has been released from quaran-
tine. 1t was feared at one time that several
persons in the community might have the
disease, as there were many exposures. As
it proved, there were only two light cases of
varioloid. The results show that the dis
ease was skillfully handled. We feel that
much credit is due DR.. John Stevens for his
untiring efforts to stamp out what might
have been an Epidemic. Edwin Mitchell
