Summaries of November Reports of State
Departments to Board of Control

have been reported s,723 cases Of
this disease this year, and the deaths
will show a higher point than ever
reached before. This is, of course,
partly due to more complete report
ing of cases and to the fact that
deaths from measles are now attrib-
uted to the disease instead of being
listed as broncho-pneumonia or some
other cause as formerly"
Whooping cough is still one of the
most prevalent of communicable dis
eases, the difficulty Of quarantine be-
ing much greater in this than in most
other diseases. The tuberculosis rec
ord will be slightly better this year
than in 1916.
There were made at the state labo

Stop thief!

Ger the drifted SHOWS,
And the gray old year hath brought
me grief
He hath stolen the bud and the dane
ing leaf,
And the dear little robin that used to
sing
At my window sill in the balny
spring,
And the rapturous kisses my lover
gave.
He hath hidden him, too, in a narrow
grave,
Deep down from the light of the
broad, blue sky,
And SO through the rush Of my tears
7 cry:
ssStop thiefl'
AS the old year goes
Der the drifted SHOWS,
For the gray old year hath brought
me grief
The new year comes
With the beat Of drums
And clangor Of bells in the windy
He bringeth the song Of the nightin-
gale.
And, what if his robe Is fr1nged with
snow,
The April buds on his bosom blow.
He sendeth new love unto me
From an ancient country across the
sea,
And far to the south we will sail
away
Through the purple dusk of q per-
fumed May.
All haill
The new year comes
With the beat Of drums
And music Of bells in the wintry vale.
