The discovery Of q case of smallpox in

the privilege of entering and leaving the
house at will. A close watch, however,
is kept on the members of the household,
and strict quarantine will probably be
enforced IL any others In the house con-
tract the disease.

Greene's family. was removed from the
home, Saturday night. under suspicion
that he was suffering from smallpox He
was kept under observation, and it has
been definitely determined that he is slif-
fering from the contagion
The attack is declared by the officials of
the health department to be mild. There
would still be doubt about the character
OF the disease were it not for the fact
that his brother has q severe attack and
both were exposed at the same time.
After the discovery OF the smallpox VIC
tim in the church rectory health officials
examined the members of the pastor q
family to determine whether or not any
of them had contracted the disease, II
was found that all had recently been vac
cinated. and they were therefore given
cards allowing them to enter or leave the
