to how smallpox got into Penn's Grove.
Milton DolboW, sou of VIM. Dolbow
the livelyman. was III Wilmington
the fore part OF December when the
smallpox broke out there and was sent
out to the ~pesthouse where he renamed
until December %, when he was given a
certificate OF good health by the officials.
Some thought he may have brought it as
it may have been carried from Whining
ton to the Powder Mills, but Dolbow's
sister and brother-in-law with whom he
has lived since December oath have not
taken the disease. The eruptions have
occurred too o to have been injected
by Dolbow.
Another theory was that it may have
came in a large shipment OF cotton re-
Gently received at the powder works. but
those who handled the raw cotton did
not take it, while some who worked in a
press house were the first to take it.
But Joseph Sharper had not been in
Wilmington, had not been near Dolbow,
nor did he work a the Powder Mills.
On December 22 and % he helped fill J.
G. French's ice house at the hotel and
came into contact with Grover Reighn,
a young man who went to Darien, Ca,
last week to fish for .shad. Reighn had
eruptions on Dec. 18th. Sharper says,
they were like he himself has. Reighn
thought it laurel poison, got from gather
ing or tying Christmas greens. Instead
it was a mild type of smallpox such as
was in Wilmington and was in Cumber-
land County a few months ago.
Mr.. ID. G. Bowen, the State Medical
Inspector, who has had 20 years expe-
rience with similar outbreaks, says that
the time between Sharper working with
Reiglm and the outbreak OH Sharper was
the proper time for its incubation.
Where Reighn got it is a conjectured.
He was in Wilmington in the fore
paw IA OCNCAl0Cis liz NChS w AZ
lower part Of Salem or upper part OF
Cumberland County to get laurel for
Christmas green's in November, which
led him to believe he had been poisoned.
Because it is the same type OF pestilence
as was in Cumberland County a few
months ago, the evidence points that it
was brought by Reighn, from that direc-
tion or from Wilmington.
ron Monday the hotel, railroad station
and post office were fulnigated.
1t takes twelve days from the time OF
infection until the eruption of smallpox
appears. An infected person who has
not had eruptions will not commune
cate smallpox. The time when it infects
most is when the dry scales begin to
off.
The smallpox in Wilmington was OF a
mild type and it was traced to an oyster
boat which was at Millvllle during the
there last summer.

Last week Drs. Lummis, Barnart and
Fleming became puzzled over a disease
| they had not met with before III this
town. To feel sure it was smallpox, a
snecialist was called from Phi adelphia
last Friday evening and he pronounced
it smallpox, although no was stricken
down. They complained of chills which
they thought was the grip. All the
afflicted were able to be up and at work
until q~uarantined. For that reason many
who had had the smallpox, had nursed
it or had seen cases, doubted it as being
the>smallpox.
On Saturdss the following were re-
ported: John Whitehead, Smith Daven-
port, Frank Freas,' Isaac Lippincott, Cilas,
Johnson, William VandersIice.
On Monday quarantine cards were
issued for Charles d. Naylor, who is
with his sister, Mrs. Hannah j. Sum-
merrill at the Cove; Eugene Urban Sylin,
Chris. Yeager; Jas. Stobbe, son OF VIM.
Stobbe, at the Cove; and Mabel Gregory,
daughter of Lillian Gregory and grand
daughter of John Sites.
On Tuesday Ogden Wood, son OF Ma
than S. Wood, was declared 1t by
ID. G. Bowen, of the State Board OF
Health. On Wednesday Joseph Sharper
and his son Oswald, colored, who live
near Wright's School House, had it to
come out on them.
No other cases have been reported up
to this Friday oon
On last Friday night after receiving
the specialists opinion was made known,
those men who had been working at the
powder mills and getting medicine Tor
the grip were ordered to stay home by
the DUPONT Powder Company, and every
man was ordered to be vacclnated or
loose their job. On Saturday and every
day since there has been a general rush
to be vaccinated and to use fumigation,
mostly formaldehyde, as a preventative.
Mr.. d. C. Bowen, medical inspector OF
the State Board of Health, was called in
OIL Monday for consultation and has been
Penn's Grove every day directing the
Board OF Health what to do. After see
ing Mr.. Whitehead, who was furtllest
developed he pronounced the disease
smallpox.
On Monday Mrs. Summerill employed
Miss Elizabeth O'Neil, all experienced
nurse from Medico.- Chi and the NUM-
,ipal Hospital, Philadelphia, who pro
nunced the disease smallpox. Mr.. Nay
is recovering nicely and is able to be
put of bed, like all others who are able to
De up and eat with good appetites.
Because most of the infected are about
he house, active and have good appetites'
and the cases are not violent many do
not believe it is smallpox.
But when the doctors, state medical
inspector and the nurse who has been
employed by Mrs. Hannah j. Summeriil
% take care of Charles ID. Naylor, de-
it to be smallpox, there is the best
of evidence to believe it, even though
,ome cases are very light.

Selling Potatoes By Weight

The Farmers Exchange OF Monmouth
County cas- established a new rule with
reference to handling potatoes. The
members were told at the recent meeting
that hereafter the exchange will buy all
potatoes by weight and not by measures,
as heretofore.
According to the United States stand
aad, which was adopted by the Legisla-
ture of the State in 1908, a bushel of Irish
potatoes must weigh full sixty pounds,
though a bushei of sweet potatoes is six
pounds lighter, With this rule in force ,
sad scales corrdc,, every sife who buys
sixty pounds Of potatoes Will be sure OF
I having q true busIel, whether q measure
OF that denomination is filed TO oyer

Whether this new method will come IN
10 general Use or not remains tc be seen,

way OF buying and selling potatoes peas,

MILWAUKEE IS RESPONSIBLE.

Milwaukee, the city which has been respon-
sble for many things, from a widely used bev-
erage to a socialist mayor, has come through
with another unique and, we believe original
idea. The city can now boast of a self-support-
ing church III which the established contribution
box, which prevails in most churches, has been
abolished Instead Of the historic and familiar
contribution box, a graduated income tax is be
ing imposed upon the church members
Those members of the church who have an
annual income of $1,000 or less are required to
pay two per cent individuals or families hav-
ing an income over $1,000 and up to $4,000
are assessed five per cent. No pew rents are
collected. Under this plan it is said the church
is meeting all expenses and is even on the way
toward securing a comfortable balance in the
treasury which, it is to be presumed, will be
invested in some manner that will cause it to
earn interest.
AS yet it is probably too early to secure
line on the success of the plan. Thus far how
ever, it is said, all members of the church have
conscientiously met the levies made against
them. Some, however, are objecting to the plan
on the ground that it is likely to work hard
ship on some members of the church and damp
en- the spirit of generosity
Unfortunately the news dispatches fail to
state what method is used for the ascertaining
OF the income of each individual and family
Neither is it stated whether any provision is
made looking to assistance from such strangers
who may attend only one service or half dozen
services in the church in the course of a wear
In any event it will probably require year
or more to determine if the plan is perma
nent success 1t it is a success it will be an
other unique experience for Milwaukee And
successful experiment in Milwaukee would prove
so unique it is a question whether her citizens
could survive the shock
