Estopinal advised me that he
could not find gambling in his
parish, but he lives quite a dis
lance from the stockyards neigh

misled by men working for him.
"There has been spasmodic

 A report of state bacteriologist, Prof. H. W. Conn, discloses that of Il cul- lures taken from the throats of em- ployes at the Beaver Brook farm, three showed traces of streptococci. Samples from the same threats under the microscopic examination of Bac- teriologist Ober, of the health board disclosed streptococci germs in all This fact, however, is not taken to be indicative that serious infection exists in the patients for such germs are said always to be present in the throats of everyone.
 [ The report of pr. Conn shows the germs to have to have been active in the throats of these persons:
 Cornelius Reardon. a worker at the Beaver Brook farm; Elizabeth Can- ming, a child on the farm, having nothing to do with the handling of milk, and James Ampiere, a boy that is employed in carrying cans. pr. Conn is concluding his report specific ally states: '"The presence of strep- tococci in throats is not unusual, so not. much weight can be placed upon the presence of streptococci in these three throats.
 Dr. Mcclellan today stated that no new cases of septic sore throat were being reported. With the continual tion. of present sunlight he believes that the epidemic will be ended.
