Heretofore there had been no interrup-
ton of traffic between places that are

stricken Italians have returned to New
Orleans and brought new infection with
them. This will be prevented in the fu-
ture. The State Board of Health will meet
tomorrow and formulate plan.
The territory bounded by ST. Ann, Es-
plade, Rampant and Decatur, the heart
of the original infection, is again under
going a thorough course of disinfection.

at his disposal.
DR.. Ralph Marcour, formerly of the navy
started today for Leeville. and the board
will send additional yellow fever nurses
and doctors soon. 1t is desired to preven
