COBALT, Ont. Aug. 4.-Estimates
Of the number of dead in the fire
swept area Of northern Ontario We're
still divergent tonight. The offices
of the Temiskaming and Northern
Ontario railway at North Bay report
ed 425 Identified and unidentified
dead. Rumors of additional loss Of
life and devastation in many instanc-
es proved false. Reports that many
houses in Englehart were destroyed
also We're erroneous.
The country between EnglehaTt and
Matheson apparently escaped the
flames. The return Of a number OF
prospectors from the Boston Creek
region who reached the railway gave
rise to needless excitement in the 10
cality. Bush fires which started
south of Cobalt between Red Water

MORE VIGOROUS MEASURES
To STAMP OUT PLAGUE

While there is still much to learn
concerning the period of incubation and
the various means Of transmission of
the disease, the report says, physicians
and parents can give great help in
promoting sanitary conditions in the
homes.
Chief among preventative measures
is the close observation of children and
speedy reports of symptoms.
Food for children should be selected
with care and thoroughly cooked, the
report continues. Present Information
shows that the disease is most readily
spread by personal contact, although it
can be transmitted through the bites of
insects, or directly from the sick to
susceptible persons or indirectly from
the sick through carriers" it is stated.

just been published by the department
In professional paper, Bulletin No,
352, The Cherry Leaf Beetle-A Peri

Dwight Isely. The 1915 outbreak was
by far the worst that fruit growers
have yet experienced. That year the
beetle proved destructive throughout
the greater part Of New York, Pennsyl-
vania, and northern West Virginia, and
also In the northern part of lower
Michigan, where cherry growing Is
very extensive. The entomologists
who studied the insect at that time
now recommend that for peach or
chards nicotine sulphate be used and
for cherry trees sweetened arsenate of
lead. These are the only two cuItivat-
cd fruits that the beetle attacks. Sweet
cherry and plum are not In danger
and the thicker-leaved varieties of the
sour cherry are much less seriously
injured than the thin-leaved kinds.
