Sixty houses, with a total of 10i cases, were quarantined for smallpox, all of which have'' been released with the exception of three. Of the 105 cases, 86 occurred in children, one of whom had ever been vaccinated. Of the 20 cases occurring in adults 4 elderly patients had been vaccinate-! a great many years ago. In several of the families quaran tlncd some of the children had pre viously been vaccinated, and none jf these contracted the disease, while practically all of the unvaccinateri ones did. Prior to the outbreak of the cpi-, demic less than per cent of tho chil- j dren of school age had been vacci nated. Following the outbreak ap proximately 2,300 persons, mostly Chli dren, were vaccinated. Most of the case-, at least so far as the sickness was concerned, were mild in Character and practically all of the adulte the eruption was vcrv severe. Three warrants were served by the health department for violation of sanitary regulations and in each in stance lines and costs were assessed. On account of the unusually hot weather extra precautions should be taken in the disposal of garbage, and anyone guilty of creating or maintain ing insanitary conditions cf any cha acter whatsoever will be summarily dealt with.
