There is no let up to scarlet fever in
our city; in fact it seems to be on the
increase, many new cases having
broken out the past week. Unless siren
uous efforts are made by parents TO
protect their children, Wausau is going
TO have the worst epidemic of the dis
ease in its history. True, there have
been severe cases up to date, but

will not have a serious time of it. 1t is
the opinion of many that schools should
be closed and no large gatherings of
children be held for several weeks.
