DEATHS FROM FOLIO - In spite of the lateness of the season. three deaths have been reported from polio in this Province. and fi teen cases are now being treat- e. The first known victim of the disease this year was a re- sldent of Bloomfield. Prince County. but it is understood that it did not originate there. The second was a resident of Kingston who died in a Charlottetown hos- pital last Sunday. and another polio patient was brought in from China Point,since then. also re-

sulting in death. It is thought that with the coming 'of colder weather the prevalence of the

dread disease will be greatly les- sencd. .
