uy C. E. STEWART

Washington, December 30.-(SpeciaL)- All forms of malarial levers prevail in the state of Alabama. according to the reports of the public health service. Mor- bidity re arts indicate that in September, 1912, about one person in every fifty of the population suffered an attack of malarial fever, and during the month of October one person in every 67 had an attack.
 The chronic type of malarial infection is approximately greater in the colored race in Alabama than in the white
 The reports for September shows that Il ,354 cases of malarial fever were treated in Alabama, which is equal to one-half of per cent of the population of the state, and these were reported by 57s physi- clans, or 25.3 per cent of those addressed in the state. The state health office re- ceived reports of IA deaths from ma larial fever during September. If these figures are accepted and the proportions carried out, the case mortality from ma larial fever for the month of September was one-fourth of per cent of the cases; that is, l in 400 cases of malarial fever terminated fatally.

ICE SITUATION IN
LAKES Is UNCHANGED

The reports from the regular and
display station OF the weather bureau
and the meteorological service or
Canada indicate that there have been
no material changes in the ice cond.-
tions in any OF the lakes. The ice
fields over Superior are very extern
sive and have not been moving much
during the week; some open water Is
reported TO the east of Two Harbors.
In Michigan the ice fields have been
driven To the south and west shore
and have caused considerable trouble
for boats out or Chicago. There Is
considerable open water reported on
the east shore from Holland north TO
South Manitou Island. The Straits
are still solid The ice fields over
northern Huron have moved north
and west into the eastern portion Of
the Straits and extensive open water
spaces are reported to the east OF
Middle and Thunder Bay Islands. To
the south of this the fields are heavy
and solid.
st. Clair river is reported open as
far south as ST. Clair The De-
troit river is open from the mouth OF
Lake St Clair 10 Sandwich point, also
some open spaces at the Lime Kiln5
and at Ballar Reef. In Erie there
has been very little change noted. In
Ontario the fields over the central
and eastern portion continuesas ex-
tensiye as We're reported last week.
The warm weather at the close of the
week has honeycombed the Ice to
some extent in Erie and Ontario.
In comparison with last year there
is more ice in all OF the lakes.
