MORE CHICKEN POx HERE
Thirteen Cases Since Monday-F1u
Hospital Closes Thursday.

That the chicken pox epidemic In
Topeka Is more serious than first be-
lieved is shown by the fact that thir-
teen new cases have been reported to
the city health department since Mon
day morning. In February there were
forty cases.
81 was amazed in checking over my
reports to find so many cases of
chicken poX," declared DR.. E. G.
Brown. city health officer today. 81
didn't believe the disease was so pre-
valent Another thing is that in lots
of cases where the disease was
thought to be chicken poX, it turned
out to be small poX."
Doctor Brown declared that only a
small per cent Of the chicken poX
cases in the city are reported. This
il shown. he says by the fact that
many. persons who have had the dis
ease in their families have afterWard
called on the health department for
permits.
Chicken pox is a contagious dis
ease. and must be quarantincd the
same as influenza" declared the
health officer. Every case should be
reported. The forty cases reported
last month We're merely those we
quarantined. There We're probably as
many not reported at all"
There was one case of flu and one
of chicken pos reported this mornir Q.
There were practically 100 active flu
cases in the city Tuesday night.
The city emergency hospital in the
old Garfield school building will be
closed Thursday. it was definitely an
nounced today by Doctor Brown.
There are now only five or six patients
remaining. The equipment will be re-
turned to Camp Funston.
