FEAR TYPHOID FEVER
City Physician Afraid Cases Are Not
Being Reported in Topeka.

The small number of typhoid fever
cases reported to DR.. H. L. Clark, city
physician, is too good to be true.
Therefore. DR.. Clark today wrote let
tiers to physicians in charge of hos
pitfalls in the city cautioning them
against failure to neglect to report
typhoid cases. Similar letters have
been mailed to all physicians in the
city.
The large decrease of typhoid fever
cases at this season of the year I'M
der that of the same season last year
has aroused DIR. Clark's suspicious.
And as typhoid is a disease which can
be prevented to a great extent he has
taken this means to avert a possible
spread of the disease over the city.
