More Gases During October Than Any
Other Month in Three Years

Not in three years has there been so
large a number of scarlet fever cases
in Topeka as there was in october,
when the disease reached the epidemic
stage with thirty-four cases reported.
The large increase in the number
of cases, according to Dir. Earle G.
Brown, city health officer, was due to
the fact that many of the cases were
SO light that children were allowed to
continue IN school, thus exposing other
children. Two known cases attended
school while they were scaling and
were detected by the school nurse.
The disease was reported from nine
different schools during the month as
compared with six schools in the
previous month Eight cases were re-
ported from Van Buren, school. Seven
were reported in children under
school age. Two adults were reported
as having scarlet fever.
Less serious, but more numerous,
were the cases of measles for October.
totalIing 65 cases. Of that number g
were among children under school
ago. The largest number, exclusive
of those under school age, were re-
ported among the children of Central
Park school, where IT cases were
found. Monroe school was second
with ii. No deaths from measles
were reported.
Seven cases of typhoid fever were
reported during the month as COM
pared with II cases Tor the month OF
September. Four of the cases were
among school children. No deaths
from the disease were reported, the
total typhoid deaths for the year being
six. The number of cases of typhoid
fever reported this year to date in To-
peka is more than double the number
in the year 1919.
Five cases of diphtheria were re-
ported to the health department, total
ing six cases for the past three months.
Two cases of epidemic meningitis, one
of them adult and another an out of
town school child. The second case
resulted fatally. Only one case of
whooping cought was reported.
Two men and six women were sent
Ito Lansing by the city board of health
for treatment for venerea1 disease.
Thirteen of such cases were reported
by the city police, seven were volun-
teers, ten were brought to the health
