In tne opinion of the state hoard the
possibility of a cholera epidemic, such
as is experienced in foreign touutrles,
is not loo remote to this state to be
unheeded. The hundreds of people
coining directly from the cholera in
feited districts to this state can eas
ily give the disease a foothold and
start an epidemic, so the state health
board says.
The government has awakened to
the danger and Is furnishing each
st.ite in the union with the names and
I'.dt'iiatiou of all Immigrants from
Russia and Italy. This Information the
str.te health boards furnish to tho
lniul boards of health In the cities and
t.vA-ns where the Immigrants locate.
"These warnings should not be
thrown Into the waste basket, but the
health oncers should take warning
and usd extreme care in watching all
Immigrants who come from these In
