Contagious diseases often are
contracted in ways that cannot be
determined by the victims or their
physicians. Sporadic cases of
small pox, for instance, will oc-
cur in localities far removed from
any known foci. Recently n of
the oldest examples of this freak
ish characteristic of small pox de-
veloped here. Mrs. E. HUFF, with
out knowing where she caught
the disease, broke out with small
pox. There had been no small
pox here for some time. Other
members of her family were
stricken later. Mr.. Huff began try
ing to discover the origin of the
cases in his family. His brother
from Iron county had been a Wis
itor at his home a short time be-
fore Mrs. Huff fell ill, and he had
had the small pox before his visit
here. Five weeks had elapsed
since his discharge from the quar-
antine, SO it seemed entirely IN
likely that Mrs. Huff caught the
disease from him. But by patient
casting about it was brought to
light that while Mr.. Huff of Iron
county still had the small pox he
had discarded a certain pair of
shoes because they hurt his feet.
For some reason those shoes were
not fumigated as were his other
personal affects after his recovery.
When Mr.. Huff came to Piedmont
he wore these shoes. While here
they gave him more trouble and
his sister-in-law obligingly did
some work on the lining of the
shoes. This obviously was the
source of small pox in MI. E.
Huf's family. The family was re-
leased from quarantine several
days ago. Mrs. Huff, two daugh-
ters and a son had the disease, the
malady dealing severely with the
latter. Mr.. Huff himself was i'm
mune, having already had the
small pox twice. The contagion
was confined to the one family
