COUNCIL AND BOARD OF HEALTH
Both fleet Monday Evening to
Consider the Situation Caused
by Fever in New Orleans.

A meeting of the Board of
Health was called for Monday
afternoon at 4 p. In, but upon
assembling it was found that
two members were out of the
city. The Mayor and a number
of the members of the Council
were present. Before any steps
were taken to organize the Board,
Clerk of Court E. G. VOORHEES,
stated that the Board of Health
as constituted, having three
members of the Council as mem
bers was contrary to law, the
law requiring that the Board be
composed of three registered
physicians and two citizens, none
to be members of the Council.
Mayor Mouton at once called a
meeting of the Council and as
soon as the absent members
arrived a meeting was held and
elected DR.. A. Gladu, Geo.
DOucet and Jerome MOutOn to
replace the three Councilmen on
the Board.
A session of the Board was
Immediately held, the oath taken
and DR.. A. Gladu elected presi-
dent, DR.. BabcOck, sanitary
officer and Jerome Mouton. Sec
rotary. There was much discus
sion as to the action which ought
to be taken, Mr.. Boudreaux
during the discussion telephoned
to the chief dispatcher in regard
to the detention camp proposed
to be placed at Av0ndale and
stated to the Board that the dis.
patcher stated that the deten-
ton camp would be established
Wednesday to-day.
It was finally decided to tele-
graph at once to DR.. Edmond
Souchon, president of the State
Board of Health, for infor nation
as to how soon the detention
camp would be established, also
if to his knowledge fever existed
in Bunkie and Lake Charles, and
to state to what extent fever
prevailed in New Orleans and
the death rate. A dispatch was
also sent to Superintendent E.
B. Gushing inquiring as to the
detention camp.
The Board then asked the
Council to state what precau-
tionary measures had been taken
in town. Mayor Mouton replied
that a sanitary officer had been
elected to remove all garbage
and order premises cleaned when
needed. In case of failure he
was to clean aud collect from the
person occupying premises, who
also was liable to a fine. That
the street COMMITTEES had EN-.
ployed gangs of men and were
draining all the stagnant water
and cleaning up the streets. The
Board expressed satisfaction
with these measures and left the
Council to continue. And ther
adjourned to meet at nine Tues
day morning.
The Council which was con
tinuously in session during the
meeting of the Board placed
sanitary officer Pyatt under
orders to DR.. Babcock. Thu

Etiquette Of Note Writina.

not to write of the intimate little af-

There are forms used in correspond

pressed and gracefully written can only
be produced after long practice.

matter depends on details and must not
be despiSed by anyone.
Correct stationery is the first one to

en- finds il impossible to get more than
three words of one syllable or one
word of three sylIables on line.
Extreme neatness is another detail to
be regarded.
a formal note should be just long
enough to cover the first sheet of your
note paper. There are different modes
of opening and closing a note. These
vary according to the degree Of for
mality needed. The third person Is
seldom seen now except in engraved
invitations and these require replies in
the same form as
