Serious Rioting Marks
Exit of Troops From
the Capital Of Mexico
By Associated Press

Mexico City, Nov. "a (delayed).-
Serious disorder occurred in the capi-
tai tonight when a mob gathered in
front of the national palace.
Later they marched to stores where
arms and ammunition were kept, bat
tered down the doors and sacked the
places of their contents
There was much shooting, but thus
far, according to reports, the casualties
are few.
The police were powerless, as the
few who remained to guard the city
were stripped of their arms by the
mob.
Later in the evening the mob. which
had been constantly growing. broke
UP into smaller bodies and the looting
of pawnshops and other establish
ments in various sections of the city
was begun.
The trouble began at 6, o'clock in
the evening and at a late hour still
continued. All street car traffic was
stopped except the Red Cross service,
which was taking care of dead and
wounded brought in from the fighting
around Tacubaya-
The reports of unrestrained riotine
in the Mexican capital indicate that
all of the organized Constitutionalist
forces have left the city, either to meet
the forces of General Villa, coming
from the north. or that of General
Zapata, which have been threatening
the capital from the south.

 Presumably the Norwich organia- ton will emerge the stronger from it's difficulty, without material loss, and perhaps the stronger for it's troubles but the incident affords an illustration of the kind of obstacles which some times loom high in the pathway ot similar improvement companies, tend ing to discourage and to create feel ings and factions which, even if the financial perplexities are remedied may require a long time to overcome

RsportabIe Diseases.

Secretary Townsend points out that physicians should report promptly to their health officer all cases of typhoid fever, as well as other reportable di- seases that occur in their practice. It is only in this way that the presence of communicable diseases in a town can be known to the health authorities. OHe or two cases of typhoid fever In the practice of physician does not probably signify much to him, but re- ports of six or eight cases from half a dozen physicians may mean ta the health department a serious outbreak of typhoid fever and will start an In- vestigation which will result in an early discovery of It's cause. Health officers in turn report uenthly to the State Board of Health and must re- port immediately the occurrence of ep- idemics. We are frequently asked
 How many cases of a disease are necessary to constitute an epidemic " Any unusual prevalence of a disease
 should be considered an epidemic.
 This is particularly true of typhoid fever which is one of the most pre-
 yentahle of the So-called preyentable
 diseases. The presence of two or three cases in some communities that have
 been free from 1t would constitute an outbreak requiring an investigation. Health officers are urged to promptly
 notify this office of the occurrence of any unusual number of cases of ty-
 phoid fever in the territory under their Jurisdiction so that it may at once be investigated by us.
 Death Rates Could be Reduced. 1 The vital statistics of greatest con- 1 sequence are not the number of deaths 1 or the number of births, nor even the
 number of deaths from preventable l diseases, but rather the number of cas- i es of sickness from transmissable di-
 seases. The cost and danger to soci-
 ety from preventable diseases, such as typhoid, diphtheria, scarlet fever
 measles, are imperfectly represented | by the number of deaths. Medical skill could gradually reduce death rates in the face of increasing preva- ! lence of infectionus disease. With few I exceptions, only those patients who re. ] fuse to follow instfuctians will die ai
 measles, diphtheria, or smallpox. Int 1 earlet fever patient who goes to church or school while ''peeling" can cause vastly more sickness from scarlet fev. CT than a patient who dies.
