that there has been slight dimind-

fever and diphtheria reported during
the past week. with indications of still
more favorable conditions.
The fumigati0n of public places of

library has been closed for the reason
that books can not very well be disiu-
fected
We have had a conference with ali
the physicians of the city excepting a
very few at the city hall. and as a re-
suit of this meeting, better coOpera-
ton between the board of health and
the physicians has been secured Rules
for the government of families when in
quarantine. and the relations of quar-.
antined people to the public have been
adopted, to which the medical profes
sion as whole SubscribeS its assent
There was one thing overlooked
be prohibited from collecting for mill;
while delivering TO infected homes, but
in all cases must wait for their pa;
until after the quarantine is lifted.
a milk ticket accepted as pay at one
home and Immediately sold into anoth
er family could easily be the means Of
spreading the disease.
In all cases We forbid persons ir
quarantine from permitting anything
to leave their homes. but this measure
| is TO prohibit persons from accepting
certain things which seem particulars
dangerous.
We now have in press the rules
which are 10 govern cases in quaran

Before retiring he winds and sets a
small alarm clock and places it in a

goes off it Is released and drops the
furnace full. thus allowing the fire in
the cellar to start
