HOSPITALS FOR GRIPSUFFERERS [Conflmicl from First Pago.] : Harrisburg public school directors I at a meeting this morning sanctioned ; the plan to turn the building over • for hospital purposes. A commitee of members of the ; Harrisburg chapter of the Red Cross I is co-operating with the City Health i Bureau and. Dr. Raunick said, will I arrange details along the line of pro curing nurses and cots and other I equipment. The health officer said ithat more emergency hospitals prob -1 ably will le opened before the end jof the week. Four or five prominent ! Harrisburg families have offered the : use of their homes for emergency* ; hospitals and Dr. Raunick said his I bureau is endeavoring to lease sev | eral large halls and auditoriums for emergency hospital uses. West Shore Affected West Fairview. Enola and other Cumberland county towns are in the grip of influenza, and Dr. Harvey Basehore, the medical inspector of I C umberland county, last night ap j pealed to the local health bureau for doctors. Dr. S. I. Cadwallader, the | \\ est Fairview physician, is working j day and night because of the epi j demic. Dr. Ernest C. Weirick, the Enola 1 Physician, is abed with influenza, j while several hundred Enola resi dents are afflicted with the disease. | A large number of those are obtain ing medicine through Dr. Weirick's office. The pftsician is prescribing from his bedroom and his wife is dspensing drugs. Mrs. Weirick said this morning that she is having a (busy time nursing her husband and ! attending to the wants of the pa i tients. One Harrisburg physician went to West Fairview yesterday at noon and he spent four hours among the pa tients. This morning he said he now has symptoms of the disease. A druggist reported this morning that he tilled 123 prescriptions on Sunday, 117 on Monday and 127 yes terday. Only five city physicians made report to the Health Bureau this morning, and they certified an aggregate of forty-six new cases. If all the city physicians had a propor tnonate increase of cases, the Health Bureau reckons that more than 1,000 developed within the last twenty four hours. The Red Cross committee will en deavor to get registered nurses for the (emergency hospital and an ap peal also will be made for first-aid workers as well as some women who have no first-aid experience. In look ing around for halls that might be used for emergency hospital pur poses. the health officer said he is paying most'attention to those build ings that'have elevator service. More Kmrrgcrioy Hospitals He predicted that the city will have four or five emergency hos pitals wkithin the next week. The most serious of the influenza patients will be sent to the. hospital as well as pneumonia sufferers. It is Dr. Raunick's idea not to have a corps of physicians in charge of the emer gency hospitals but. on the contrary, have the family physicians visit their patients at the hospital. Just as they would visit the bome.s T> Cumberland county medical in sDector -was told this morning that Harrisburg is unable to furnish phy sicians, because all tlie city physi cians are badly needed here and they are being overworked with the many local cases. .*> * % Tlireo Deaths Three deaths since yesterday were reported at the Harrisbur;?

One hundred and fifty cases be sides have been reported between Williamstown and Lykens. Gratz also is suffering heavily from the effects of the epidemic. "Influenza appears to bo increas ing to-day in Schuylkill, Northum berland and Luzerne counties and we have hud some reports of scat tering cases in Beaver. I should say there are well over 200.000 cases in Pennsylvania now." said Dr. B. K. Royer, commissioner of health, to day. "My advice to the people of the state now is to keep calm and help the local committees which are or ganizing for relief," continued the commissioner. "There will be a de mund for emergency hospitals where housing conditions are bad. Peoplo who have good tents, cainp stoves, cots and equipment should lend them to local committees. These can be of much assistance. In Maha noy City a man turned over to our people a hotel completely furnish ed which was idle and we have had offers of buildings and halls in vari ous places.
