Investigation of Four Days
Proves That Most Victims
Did Not Contract It at Any
Public Gathering.
CLOSING BAN AT AN END
Will Continue to
Source of Disease and Rec-
ommend Those Feeling Badly
to Stay Away From Crowds.
The city board of health will no
longer enforce the closing ban in Boise.
Its members are of the opinion that
Influenza is not contracted in crowds,
end they base their conclusions upon
on Investigation of cases to ascertain
Investigate
how the victims caught the. disease.
Finding that but a few of them had
been out in crowds, and that n, vnrt
majority contracted the disease from
members of the family having it, Hie
city board of health will lake no far
ther notion In closing public places ns
* preventativo measure.
Mayor Hays Saturday night Issued
the following statement concerning the
Investigations and gives a report from
Rev. Wlllsle Martin, chairman of the
home service department of the Red
Cross:
"The city hoard of health has been
much subject to criticism. Tho man
ner in which influenza should ho pre
vented has not been thoroughly work
ed out by tlie medical profession. Here
tofore In all cases tin» board acted on
medical advice. When called on by the
Red Cross committee, and closing of
the pool halls and picture shows was
urged, we, did not do so, but acted
under the belief in closing them that
that was what the people wanted, al
though our investigation lmd led us
to believe that this was a wrong
method.
"There are stores into which a larg
er number of pooph enter than any
other institutions in Boise. Three
Main streets stores in the height of
the epidemic employed lGG clerk's, only
six of them had the disease. The pic
ture shows employ seven people who
constantly come in touch with the
public: rone of them had 11c disease.
1 1 the disease was primarily spread
la CI-..M «is. tin* clerk S and the picture
show employes should all have had it.

Why An Irrigated

Because irrigation in Southern

Here's what happened to keep his Me m

Andy was a "news kid" in "Friseo"

i iiad a "goil" and her name was Mai

' Maggie.
Andy and Maggie used to play

I they were going to write.
Andy wrote and Maggie replied. She
went on the stage, their letters got lost
or mixed up. and finally both stopped
writing.
Andy got up in the business world,
and became well-to-do. Then he
thought he'd go back to ' Brisco" and
see if he couldn't find Maggie, and
j perhaps make her Mrs. Andy.

After 53 days of closing—meaning 53 days of idleness for the 32 employes
of Photoplay Theatres
THEATERS REOPEN
I-or a feu days at least the COMMON PEOPLE will be permitted to
resume their UNCOU TH and VULGAR occupations and LOW pastimes
as the BET I ER ELEMENT of the community have decided merely to
half starve, but not to annihilate or crush the bones of the Motion Picture
I heater Employes, who have had a total of eight weeks lockout this fall.
I lie Many J housands of Show Goers cannot hut feel reassured in the
knowledge that about a hundred of the REPRESENTATIVE PEOPLE
are ready at the drop of a hat to rush in and prevent them ( the show goers)
from endangering themselves through their lack of CULTURE and
JIICH 1ER (almost out of sight) INTELLIGENCE.
I I lb, BAN SEASON is just opening. Plain or ornamental BANS are
lo he expected daily from now on. A HAN is a thing clapped on SOME
pom ELSE after a shoi*t terroristic campaign. After clapping on a
BAN the next thing is to sit down and find out if there is any sense in the
matter. If there has been none—well, no matter—our snug professional
jobs are still safe and the mob has had healthy exercise walking the streets.
So the poor half-witted Canaille, the show goers, can rest secure,
knowing that the scintillating, brilliant intellects of the hundred, that en
compasses all knowledge ( except common sense, which being COMMON
is an attribute of plebians ) will protect us and will unhesitatingly throw us
out in the streets again should our WELEARE require it.
The Judge Talks Sense
In delivering the final opinion on the BAN CASE in Los Angeles,
Judge Thomas P. White, said:
" The ordinance under consideration singles out churches, theatres
and certain amusements and after ordering them closed, does not make
like meetings in hotel lobbies, depots, department stores, street cars, etc.,
unlawful * * * Under the ordinance in question crowds may gather
in hotel lobbies, street cars, hundreds may gather in private homes, crowds
may assemble in small space for auctions * * * It is thus ARBI
TRARY SPECIAL LEGISLATION AND VIOLATIVE OF THE
CONSTITUTION.''
