NIT Thoughtless Acts.

AS an example of what the city
health authorities have to contend
with in checking the smallpox cpl
delnic, it was pointed out yesterday
that a member of one of the families
now under quarantine had placed a
letter in a mail COX. Through infor-
nation furnished by a guard at the
house in question the letter was taken
from the party receiving it immediate

just such carelessness as this, accord
ing TO the physicians and members of
the health board. that has caused the
disease to spread.
Another necessity, say the physi-
clans, is to get nurses for those now
confined in the pest house. One nurse
has been secured from Rock Island

whose case is said to be considered
serious. She is suffering from small
