reslation closing theatres, pool rooms,soda fountains and other places wherepeople congregate and abandoning allpublic meetings until further notice.

It was emphasized at the meetingthis mcfning that the public shouldnot become alarmed, as the stringentorders weer taken merely as a preventativemeat/ire, aiming to prevent thevery serious outbreak of the maladywhich-is now prevalent in many ofthe eastern cities. "An ounce of preventionis worth a pound of cure" was

urged by many of the physicians indiscussing the local situation.The meeting was opened with Mayon

Bowen presiding and the following attending:Commissioners J. WalterBarnes. A. L. Lehman. Ira L- Smith,County Health Physician L. N. Yost,city Health Physician H. L. Criss, Dr.L. B. Boyers. Dr. C. W.

Evans, secretary of theChamber of Commerce.

Dr. L. N. Yost, county health physician,was the first speaker and told ofthe outbreak of the malady in Spainwhere thirty per cent, of the peoplewere affected. The first case was

brought to New York city August 12.It was the opinion of Dr. Yost that"now Is the time to act" and that weshould "not wait until everyone issneezing and down sick." He expressedhimself as being in favor of closingthe theatres and other public places,excepting the schools, and abandoningpublic gatherings. It was his opinionthat the big meeting of minersshould not be held in this city Sun- |day as it would likely spread the mal- jady, and thus cripple the production ;of1 coal, which he believed was farwnrn imrwirtiint nt this tiniA than Ma- Irion county patting: over her Libertyloan quota.
