Third Death from
Scarlet Fever Since
Last November

The third death from scarlet fever In
Council Bluffs since the outbreak OF the
disease in November. occurred yesterday
morning. when Eugene o'Keefe. aged II
years, died at the home OF his parents.
Mr.. and Mrs. John o'Keefe, Cos South
Twenty-eighth street lie had been ill
but a short time. The young man had
been a student at Creighton college and
had been employing his vacation periods
by working at the Union Pacific head
quarters. A private funeral will be held
this morning at $50 o'clock. conducted
by Rev. Father Quinn OF the Holy Family
Catholic church. Burial will be in st.
Joseph's cemetery.
The scarlet fever situation in Council
Bluffs was never at any time serious,
and has averaged about one new case
each day since January 1. The type has
not been malignant and many of the
patients have been but very slightly In
convened. The miidness Of the disease
has been the chief cause of It's spread
ing throughout the city. Many cases
have occurred OF 90 mild type that the
presence Of the disease was not detected
in the symptoms Of the slight illness from

knowledge Of the presence OF the disease
there was no possibility of quarantine
restrictions and the germs were thus UNI
Willingly scattered.
The beneficial effects OF the medical
supervision of the city schools have been
demonstrated In the large number OF
such cases detected among children at
tending the public schools and discovery
made in time 20 get the little patients
into Seclusion before the malady had ad-
vancod far enough to spread the con-
tagion.
Another efficient means Of restraining
the disease has been the strict enforce
ment OF the quarantine rules and the
orders OF the Board Of Health. Or. @.
II. Bower. health physician. and Walt
Hendrix. quarantine officer. have been
indefatigRbel in the discharge OF their
duties Willingness OF people 10 comply
with the quarantine regulations and sub
nit to the restraint required has also
materially helped to control the disease
1t IL believed now that the apex of the
disease wave has passed and that there
will be but few new cases In the near
future.
