time OF the present health officer,
there had been no tabulation Of the
number of cases OF infectious sick
ness. Fourteen deaths from scarlet
fever in 1909 does not appear so
formidable; yet it is ten times greater
than most cities in the United States.
Fourteen deaths last year from scarlet
fever does not tell you, that some of
the very doctors boosting the Health

were the very same men. who n short
time back, were advising that chill
dren be kept at home and the schools
closed, on account Of scarlet fever;
this does not altogether accord with
their later statements.

made by the editor of the Morning

would have seen the goal of prices

Lidgerwood was offered $4,000 for

reason that he had set his price
at $1,000 and nothing else would
move them.
