Eighth and Twelfth wards. This
morning the health officials were ad-
vised that two children taken from
an east side house and sent 10 the hos
pital, supposed 70 be suffering from
whooping cough. had developed scar
let fever. A third child in the same
house is under observation. The house
was fumigated and placarded. The
children are said not to have been at
tending the schools.
The appearance of these scarlet
fever cases, however. are said by the
health board officials not to be the &C.
casion of any alarm. The total num-
Der to date is very small for a city
with the population of Wilmington
and they emphasize the fact that there
is no occasion whatever for alarm
However every precaution is beina
exercised'to prevent the spread of the
fever. To make the quarantine
measures and the preventative steps
effective, 1t was pointed out, attending
physicians must be prompt in makins
