 Exaggerated Reports of Epidemic.
 Releases by the health officer pr. w. H. Judson, had brought the number of quarantined houses down to nine and the number of patients to 21 on Satur- day, Other releases are to be made to- day. The situation now seems fully under control. In connection there with it seems to be the proper time to 4 have been circulating regarding the smallpox scare in Danielson Local people have heard them and marveled that anyone would be so credulous as to believe them.
 These stories have had the effect of doing injury to Danielsons business interests; they have frightened people, they have worked harm to a com munity.
 Exaggerations as to the situation here have been so gross as to deserve the most severe denunciation. Those responsible for originating such yarns would not be more than justly dealt with were they to pay a penalty for the damaging wagging of their tongues.
 Since the. quarantine was establish ed in DanielSons nearly three weeks ago. there have been very few new cases. These were expected on account of previous exposure to contagion. Nearly all of the new cases have de- veloped in homes already quarantined on account of the illness of other members of the household. The total number of cases is now reduced to Fl, and the majority of these are in the secondary stage and will be ready for release within a short time. The dis ease is not spreading. Danielson is as safe, or safer, than many towns in Connecticut for anyone to visit. Stories to the contrary. or as to there being a. greater number of cases. are absolute ly false
 If those who have been so industri- ous in circulating damaging and un- true statements will spend as much time distributing the true facts as to the situation in Danielson, they will have done something toward compen- sating for the injury they have caused And this applies to some newspapers as well as to some people.
