Members of the American typhus
commission are making preparations
for the epidemir which is expected
to reach it's crisis in April. Five
thousand five hundred cases were reg
iStered in January, and figures for
February, not yet issued, will prob
ably show an increase. Authorities
state the disease will take another
jump this month, with the high water
mark some weeks hence.
Fears are entertained here that if
peace is made with the Russian boil
sheviki there will be an influx of Pc
fish refugees which will swell the
number of typhus cases in this cOun-

1t is a mistake TO suppose that all

NOTHING Is WRONG At
STATE ORPHAN HOME

Complaints made to the directors of
the state orphans home that the in.
mates were underfed, insufficientlY
clothed and subjected to unnecessary
severe punishment were described as
being wholly without foundation of
fact by State Treasurer Malley. one
of the homes directors in a public
statement made today, says the Ga
zette.
Il have been constantly in close con-
tact with the orphans home here and
its management and know that the
complaints referred to have been COM
mon for years, and are common to all
charitable and corrective institutions" !"
said Mr.. Malley. They usually grow
out of exaggerated gossip and under
investigation into the conduct of the
home, and 1t will probably interest
some people to know that Mr.. Cowing
the superintendent of the home, re-
1uested 1t some time ago for the pur-
pos OF meeting some of the criticisms
that has been current here.
Instead of being neglected the
children in the home are being well
fed. well clothed we'll educated and
not severly punished 1t is absolutely
untrue that any of them have been
-.
so far as | know no one has entered
such a charge. The record of Mr..
Cowing as a banker and business man
should be sufficient to silence in ad-
vance any such complaint.
"The directors of the home are sat
isfied with its management and have
full confidence within its superin-
tendent and matron"
