Pueblo, Dec. 26 — The explosion of a boiler at noon today in the National Biscuit factory here demolished the structure and injured a fireman by the name of Marsh. It is feared he will lose his eyesight. Health Department Notice Smallpox having reappeared in the city, all unvaccinated persons are urged to be vaccinated at once. Managers of mills, refineries, smelters, stores, livery barns and all business places are requested to make vaccination compulsory with their employees. All unvaccinated children attending school must have a certificate of vaccination from the health officer before they can return to school after the holidays. As it will require from seven to nine days to determine if the vaccination is effective, it should be done at once to avoid loss of time from school. Yards and vacant lots should be carefully cleaned and the rubbish burned. Every person, especially those who have to come in contact with many people, such as merchants and their clerks, drivers of delivery wagons, milk wagons, etc., should practice fumigation of their clothing daily—the process is simple and inexpensive. Suspend a sheet by one edge against the wall of a small closet or a large tight box having a closely fitted door. Dilate two ounces of 40 percent solution formed by the side with two ounces of water and sprinkle this on the sheet as evenly and quickly as possible, hang the clothing in, close the door and keep it closed six hours or longer. This may be done on retiring at night and the clothing will be ready for use next morning. If a box is used, place it in the hall or in a room where no one sleeps—clothes opening into bed rooms may be used if the door fits closely. A box may be made tight by passing broad strips of paper over the joints. Put the solution in a shallow dish and sprinkle on with a whisk-broom. Formaldehyde may be purchased at any drug store. All employees of the city must be vaccinated at once. By order of the Board of Health, R. H.
