The general war on the disease breeding mosquito, and | the other extra but necessary precau- tions. are thought to have eradicated all germs. and the place will be no longer regarded as bemg stricken city. The confidence of the physicians was expressed along this line by Dr.
 Joseph r. Porter, the State Health Of ficer. to a newspaper man last night. There was somewhat of scare in- jected into the community yesterday bers of a single family were reported
 sick with the dreaded fever The house was immediately placed under guard and all inmates were Quaran-
 tined until a diagnosis of the cases could be made. It was found that the victims were malariai sufferers and of course this lifted the tension. This
 makes the sixth day since there has been new. case reported. Business Is picking up rapidly now. Since the infected district was taken from under the ban. several of the large business houses in that area have taken up an activity which infuses life into other lines, and it will not be long. business men say, before there is a general resumption all over the city.
