Conditions At College Improved; Fumigation Starts.

So complete has been the quarantine and so carecfu land ,thorough the measures taken at St. Joseph’s college to prevent a spread of the scar let fever that no more cases have developed and many of the patients have been discharged from the infirmary. Today fumigation of the buildings, all except the infirmary, is taking place and it will not be many days until the last of the patients are able to leave the hospital. With a total of forty-one students who had the disease there was no death and the priests and students co-operated so cheerfully to the order of the health department and the attending physician that a dangerous spread was prevented.
