SMALL POX IS NOW APPEARING

Danger Of Disease Is Hemmed By Official

Dr. Thor Moeller, city health officer, reported from fifteen to twenty persons under guarantine {sp} in Devils Lake alone this week with many others in various parts of Ramsey county believed suffering from the disease tho not reported to authorities. Several cases are in the detention hospital in addition to those ostracized from society in the "pest house." Every step possible is being taken, according to Dr. Moeller, to prevent further spread, and it is declared the full effect of the law will be felt in quarters where small pox indications are developed without without being reported at once—particularly with physicians. He said that even attacks of chicken-pox must be promptly turned into his office.
