Small Pox Spreading.

Small pox is said to be increasing throughout the state and especially in the towns and cities. The health au- thorties at Little Rock say the disease is on the increase and that no single city or town in the state will be able to rid itself of the pest until the state board of health is given sufficient mon- ey to carry on campaign against the disease all over the state. The ma jority of cases developed at Little Rock have been traced to other towns and as often as the officials succeed in stamping out the disease, it immedi- ately breaks out again through the in Aux of people from other places. who have already contracted the disease. The situation, though not alarming, is still serious enough to require atten- tion and a general state campaign against the disease and its causes, such as are carried on in other states.
