NeU Vaccination Drive
Urged by Physicians.

A serious setback in the fight against
small pox was reported in a recent re-
liable study of figures for the United
States in comparison with other civil
lied countries.
The results Of this study are cited
by the Committee on Public Health
Education of the Minnesota State Medi-
cal association to show that a new
campaign for vaccination against small
pox is essential in all of the states
where there are still cases and deaths
from the disease.
Minnesota with a rate in 1885 of from
five to nine cases for every 100000
population in 1885 has neither the best
nor the worst record in the country
There were six states west Of the
Mississippi and north of the Missouri
that had thirty or more cases per
100 900; on the other hand, seven
Eastern states including Connecticut,
Maine, Massachusetts,, New Hampshire,
New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Rhode
Island had no small pox whatever last
year.
The rate for the United States as a
whole was IS per 100000 in 1895, almost
half again higher than 1884 The in
crease meant, in actual cases, 8,021 in
1885 as against 1886 the year before
This rate and number of cases was far
higher than in Canada whose rate was
only 81 per 100000.
One reason advanced by public health
experts for this increase lies in the
fact that small pox in the United
States had been very mild in the last

Miner Receives Letter From
Camp Advisor Asking for
Reading Matter.

The following letter has been ad-
dressed to The Ely Miner and is being
printed as received. Needless to say, if
any of the readers can help out in this
plea, it will indeed be appreciated by
the boys who are on the job in the
woods.
To the Citizens Of Ely,
Several days ago, during the hot spell,
visited friends in Ely, and, in order
to get cool, they took me into the base
ment. That was a lucky trip, for That
basement proved to be a regular gold
mine.
You see, it was full of old books ana
magazines that have been laid aside and
discarded.
And that gave me an idea. Possibly
there are other Easements in Ely that
have been used to store books and
magazines that are no longer wanted,
and are put there, for want of better
place.
A CCC camp can use books at any
time, and right now magazines are at a
premium, for there are 50 many side
camps and reading is about the only
excitement that the fellows have.
Do you have any of them that you are
willing to give US? And if you have any
books, they will be appreciated, also.
Any kind of books will be fine. West
ern, mystery, detective, and adventure
books are especially in great demand,
but if you have old sets of classics,
your old school books, and the like, We
will take them, also.
If you can help us, just call me at
Company I'll on the Echo Trail, or
call the American Legion club rooms.
We will arrange to have a truck come
in and get them. And thank you very
much.

Brady, who arrived in Chicago to-
day, with the intention Of getting
more Silver Dollars in circulation.

rancher from the West, walked into

had bite TO eat.

few years, with few deaths. It may be
that it is often recognized and thus
more easily spread. In any case, it no
longer causes the fear that once sent
people hurrying to secure vaccination
The Importance Of keeping this
ancient plaque under control should be
obvious, according TO the physicians.
There is no reason to suppose that
every case will be mild or that, if We
become lax, new and fatal wave Of
small pox will not overtake US at any
time.
