WARNING AGAINST
SMALLPOX.

To the Health and Fiscal Off Gals
of Kentucky:
Smallpox has been stamped out
over aud over again in every county
in the State in recent years, but off,
cial information is coming in to the
Board almost daily that the disease
has again appeared in many widely
separated sections, as it mas in adj
joining states, and that. because of
the lack Of vaccination, and of it's
mildness, the direase seems so inciin-
ed to break over official control so
early in the cold season as to threat
en- a widespread and costly epidemic,
unless the officials, physicians and
people are organized to recognize
and meet the danger.
Since January 1913, smallpox has
prevailed more or less extensively in
every county in Kentucky. with a
total of over $4,000 cases, and 335
deaths, costing in cash from county
and city treasures, as shown by Of
fetal reports. the immense total sum
of $625,650, and an estimated loss
from interference with business OF
81 100000. Judiciously expended,
this would be more than enough to
keep every one of our people vac
cinated for a generation, and as
shown by the experience OF Germany
and other perfectly protected coun-
tries, make anything but an import
ed case of this disease an impossi.
bility.
In the face of these facts, and the
conclusion of the scientific world al
ter full investigation, that VAGINA
ton properly done on a clean arm
with reliable virus, is certain pre-
ventive and is free from danger, it is
estimated that over 400 OF the pee
pie, and in the country districts OF
many counties, over 900 are un-
protected from this loathsome di.
sease. In such communities, an I'M
ported case, especially a mild one
who can go around freely all the
time. or after the few points of erup
tion appear and the fever subsidies,
and visit his kin and friends, is us
ually like a spark in dry stubble, an
epidemic is on, which often spreads
to distant communities and counties
by a repetition, OF these conditions
Under existing conditions, when
all have reason to be on the lookout
for first cases or suspicious symp
toms. there is no longer any excuse
for physicians who fail to recognizs
and promptly report the disease
Except chickenpox, which almost
never occurs in adults, it does not
look like and the symptoms do no
point to anything else. When un
vaccinated grown people have al
eruption in any community at Thu
time, they should be rigidly isolate
until some competent authority dc
cides that il is not smallpox. Il
should be constantly horne in mind
too, that there are no such disease

Gas Plant Fails.
Some Suppers Gold


The falling OF bench in the gas
making furnace Of the Iowa Railway
and Light Company. caused a failure
OF gas service at about dinner time
supply Of gas for several days. The
bench is part OF the gas making
plant, on which the coal Is placed and
converted into gas. The falling Of this
bench quickly exhausted the supply.
Some housewives were just In tho
midst OF getting dinner. and the gas
failure cut the cooking processes
short. Others. who have u later meal.
found little or not gas when they
turned on the burners. Some, who have
automatic gas burners in their base
ment found trouble and n smell OF
gas in the house when the gas failed
and then pressure was partly resumed
during the night.
The reduced consumption during the
night made 1t possible for the gas COM
pany to catch up on the supply with
it's other benches SO there was gas for
use this morning. but the supply de-
creased with consumption today.
The company has been making every
EFFORT TO get a new oench Tor more
than month. but it has been unable
to do so. The supply Of gas will be
short until the bench is placed. but
the company is making every effort
possible to keep as much gas on tap
as possible. Manager Charles Munson
has quit his office and has been spend
ing most Of the last two days at the
gas plant personally to superintend the
work of keeping up the gas supply and
fastening the repairs Sunday the con-
sumption OF gas win be smaller. the
company says, and it will again be
able to catch UP on the supply for the
consumption the first OF the week.
