refugees 10 think differently. Now, il we are to
be guided by the dominant idea Of yester-
days tripartite conference frost has
nothing 10 do with removing or lessening the
danger OF taking the disease. This can be re
moved only by dsinfecton and whoever heard
of wholesale disnfection before, 'or whoever
heard Of shutting people out Of city while il
is In progress What metaInorphoss We
have already had two frosts one light. the
other moderately heavy. Now what valid
