Board
GUARD AGAINST
NEW EPIDEMIC

Scarlet fever Is again on the in
crease here. Twenty-four new cases
OF the disease have been reported
10 .he Board OF Health for the week
ending at noon today. making a to-
tai OF a. cases reported, although It
u thought there are fully twice as
many cases Of the disease through
out the city. which are not under
treatment by physicians and there
fore are neither reported to the
Board Of Health nor quarantined.
The failure to report these cases
has occasioned some alarm among
the health authorities as while the
disease so far has been OF a mild
type. the rapid increase may assume
epidemic proportions al any time,
and the careless manner in which
many OF the cases are being handled
may have a serious consequence.
Chickenpox Is also on the increase
10 new cases being reported for the
week. Two new cases OF measles
were reported.
There were II deaths. Sc births
and 10 marriages for the week. For
the corresponding period Of last
year there were 33 deaths, Sc births
and "a marriages.
