FEVER HURTS
REHOBOTH
Scare There Has Had DepTeSs-
ing Effect Upon the sea-
side Resort
MANY VACATIONISTS
HAVE LEFT RESORT

DR.. A. T. Frantz. secretary and cX-
ecutive officer of the State, Board of
Health, returned yesterday from Re
hoboth where he went the night before
10 inquire into conditions resulting from
a prevalence of scarlet fever there.
There is no abatement of the fever
at the Sussex county seaside resort.
There have been several new cases in
the past week, and there are now
about twenty cases all told there. a
week ago there were twelve cases.
All of the cases are of mild type,
however, and many of the patients have
almost recovered. The general belief
among the physicians attending the
Rehoboth cases is that the disease was
brought there by some of the summer
visitors. They point out that none
of the all-year-round residents of Re-
hoboth are afflicted with the disease,
and hence argue that it is not due
TO sanitary conditions.
The crisis in many Of the cases will
be over tomorrow, and after that per-
iod the physicians contend there will
be practically no danger Of contagion
from the fever.
The breaking out Of the fever has
had a depressing effect upon the re-
sort and scores OF persons nave leIl
there, some temporarily and others with
no intention of returning tins season
The exodus has left its impress upon
the appearance of the boardwalk. This
ordinarily is the height Of the season
but none of the hotels or boarding cot
tages are now filed. The proprletors
are hoping that the season will become
brisk again within week, after the
fever scare has subsided.
Dr. Messick has many Of the cases
at Rehoboth and has BEEN giving then
considerable attention. DR.. Hiram r
Burton and Dr. w. p. Orr also hav,
some of tho cases.
