the office the number of cases they
have, and at the end of the day mall
a list of the patients, merely giving
the ages and addresses. By this
method Dr. Raunick said he hoped
to locate the districts in which the
disease was most prevalent and also
determine whether adults or children
were numbered among the most vic
tims. In case it is found that chil
dren do not suffer an attack as
readily, it may be possible to open
the schools soon. Dr. Raunick re
fused to make any statement about
whn to expect results from the
stringent/ quarantine regulations now
In effect, remarking that it was too
soon to tell the effect of the closing
orders.
Health officials have information
now to be used in prosecuting a
number of liquor dealers in the city
who refused to obey the closing or
der. Dr. Raunick said warrants will
soon be out for their arrest and that
he will make every effort to secure
convictions. He requested persons
having arty knowledge of violations
to communicate with the health
bureau at once, giving complete in
formation and also their names, as
anonymous reports will not be con
sidered.
Dies at Hospital
Another from Spanish in-j
fluenza occurred at the hospital to
day. Maurice Smith, aged 27 em
ployed in a local garage but whose
home is 84 Geneva street. Geneva.
X. Y., died at 12.30 this morning.
He was admitted to the hospital on
Friday.
Another nurse was ordered to bed
this morning, suffering from the in
fluenza. Only twenty-two nurses,
including the extra ones called in.
remain to handle the large number I
of cases. Seven new cases were ad
mitted yesterday, several to-day.
The many cases already at the hos
pital made it necessary to refhse ad
mittance to a number of new influ
enza patients. Three of the patients i
now at the hospital are in a serious
condition.
Three of four places are being
considered for emergency hospitals
and in case of a serious spread of
the epidemic arrangements will bo
made to open at least one place im
mediately. During the last week in
the city there were nine deaths from
iniluenza. seven of which had* de
veloped intj pneumonia.
In the county districts in the up
per end of the county health offi
cers reported cases in every com
munity. At present, if necessary, an
emergency hospital will be estab
lished between Wiconisco and Wil
liamstown. A private hospital is be-'
ing used at the latter place now and
may provide sufficient accommoda
tions for all serious cases. All the
schools in boroughs have been or
dered closed, also those in susque
hanna and Lower Paxton townships
where a large number of cases are
reported. This afternoon county
medical officials are visiting the i
lower end of the county to select
a site for an emergency hospital
there. In case communities are
found with many persons suffering
from influenza the schools will be
closed in that part of the county,
too.
Dr. Raunick, speaking of the co
opt: at.on of the proprietors of soda
lountains, liquor stores, saloons and
other places ordered closed, said
that much of the success of the
quarantine and the resulting check
of the epidemic depended on the
compliance with the closing order.
Cards on which will he printed a no
tice that places have been closed
temporarily by the city health bu
reau will be issued in a day or two
at the office, he said.
Not a church bell rang yesterday,
all soda fountains and iee cream par
lors were closed, except a few which
remained open to sell confectionery,
and with the "gasless" Sunday or
der keeping automobiles off the
streets, the city had one of the most
quiet Sundays in its history. Thou
sands of persons not affected by the
disease took advantage of the fair
weather for long walks in the open
and large crowds also attended the
big patriotic gathering at Reservoir
Park.
Greedy Saloonkeepers
Dr. Raunick announced that a
number of saloonkeepers had refus
ed to obey the order to close, lock
ing their front doors but doing busi
ness by using a rear entrance to tin
bars. Prosecutions will be brought
at once he said. The maximum pen
alty is a fine of $lOO or thirty days
imprisonment or both.
A plan is being considered to have
men at the various industrial plants
begin their shifts and leave at differ
ent hours so that the peak loads on
the street cars will be reduced. Ac
cording to Dr. Raunick by a slight
rearrangement of the present work
ing shifts in local industrial plants,
instead of thousands of men leav
ing at one time and going honu,
overcrowding all regular and spe
cial cars, they could finish at differ
ent intervals and only a few hundred
go home at one time.
Danger in Crowded Cars
Dr. Raunick will confer with Har
risburg Railways Company officials
to determine whether an order can
be effected which will permit only
the number of passengers in a car
who can be seated. It is understood
also that the company will have
crews keep all the car windows open

Dr. B. F. Royer, state commission- j

I bureaus concerning the sale of alco-
I holic beverages, as follows:
) "Consult with leading medical men
and make provision for sale through
drug stores on registered physicians'
prescriptions of alcoholic stimulants
and make provision for wholesalo
and bottling houses to supply retail
j needs for this purpose alone,
j "These orders need not prohibit
wholesale shipments of alcoholic
beverages to points outside of Penn
sylvania.
"Where wholesale, bottlers, clubs
or fraternal organizations fail to
comply with Saturday's proclamation
concerning the sale of beneragos,
close them forthwith and where nec

by Order cf the Commissioner of
Health.'
"Place all dealers on their honor
to obey the regulations: if any break
faith, consult witty your solicitors,
take drastic action, notify the dis
trict attorney and licensing judge,
notify the State Board of Pharmacy
and this office.
. "The latest estimate from Massa

among the afflicted in stricken com-,
munities. Prepare for such a max
imum load and hope to escape it. One

Host When 111
Treatment for the disease has been,
summarized by health officials as fol
lows:
"Rest in bed. fresh air. abundant
food, free action of intestines, with
Dover's powder for the relief of
pain. Every case with fever should
be regarded as serious and kept in
bed."
In order to guard against infec-!
tion it fs necessary to keep thei
mouth and nose clean and healthy;
by means of some mild antiseptic
and to treat all colds promptly. A
wash composed of one teaspootiful
boric acid, one teaspoonful bicarbon
ate of soda and one teaspoonful of
common salt will be found very Use
ful in keepin gthe nose and throat I
clean.
The diease is spread by "droplet
infection," tliat Is, by little drops:
swarming with germs scattered by
infected persons who sneeze, spit and
couch in public places. One sneeze in
a street car may infect a whole city.;
Kissing :s another prolific method
cf infection, and this practice should
be stopped except in cases where it |
is absolutely indispensable to liappi-.
ness. Kissing between members of
the gentle sex can certainly be;
abolished without hardship.
Throughout the state a number of
hospitals are being established for,
treatment of the disease. One of
these is to be located on the athletic j
field at Steelton and supplies are!
being sent there from the State 1
Armory under the direction of Adju
tant Oener il Beary. The hospital J
may be in full operation by to-night. |

increase of 13 over the absentees of
yesterday, when only 50 per cent,

curtailed service made necessary by
the unsual conditions.
C. H. Bishop, superintendent of the

were absent, 22 motormen and con
ductors, besides six men from the
car barn, and seven from the power
plant. This is almost double the

will be needed to transport the
workmen.
