Two new cases and one death
from infantile paralysis were reported
to the state board of health. This
brings the total number OF cases in
the state at the present time some
what above the two hundred mark
and indicates that the physicians and
health boards have as yet been I'M
able to cope with the disease. The
cases were reported from Dyke, In
Guthrie county. The total number OF
deaths this summer in Iowa from this
disease has now reached thirty-five.
Every effort is being made by those
in charge of the work preventing the
spread of the disease to check the
epidemic, but with little success. Dr.
Wade H. Frost, the government ex-
pert, has been sent to Guthrie Center,
where an outbreak has occurred. He
is still hopeful of being able to get
the disease well in hand before the
cold weather sets in.
k G. Launcelot, the newly APP
pointed state agent for the state
board of parole, today begins his
work. The Office of state agent for
the board was created at recent
meeting of the state board of control.
The duty of the officer is to travel
about the state looking after the par
oled prisoners, seeing to it that they

state board and also finding places for
men and boys about to be released
from the state penitentiary and the
I reform school at Anamosa. The next
meeting of the parole board will be
4 held in October and indications are
j that there will be a bigger list of
prisoners TO be heard for parole than
I at any time since the creation of the
board. This is due largely to the
fact that the indeterminate sentence
law has now become full operative
and prisoners who were among the
first to be sentenced under the proyls-
ions of that law are now about ready
for release from the institutions on
parole. This is PARTICULAR true OF
Anamosa, where there are large mum
bers of young men who have made
q good records and who. under the pro
visions of the parole law, are en-
titled to release from the institution
