Must Tell the Whole Truth,

New Orleans, Sept. 1f=fSpeciai1
Published correspondence between
President Charles Janyier of the New
Orleans health association and the
R"N. Beverly Warner, who had been
requested to serve as a member Of
the governing board of that associa-
tlon, opched mp Il question in which
the entire south is vitally interested.
Mr.. Warner withheld his acceptance
because he opposed secrecy and any
thing bordering on an ATTEMPT to with
hold from the public at large informa
tlon bearing on yellow fever. and
came out flatfooted for a policy of the
widest publicly Mr.. Janviers reply
pointed out that the work of the asso
citation was threefold: To have
proper sanitary regulations framed:
to create, stimulate and keep up "A
public sentiment in favor of their en-
actment into law, and to vigilantly see
to it that the laws, when promulgated.
shall be rigidly enforced by honest
and competent officials The greatest
good can only be realized Ly telling
the whole truth. Yellow fever, now
that the nature of the infection is
known, is dangerous only when con
oealed and the proper precautions are
not taken. Therefore, as Mr.. Janvier
seys. the foundation upon which the
work OF the association must be con-
structed and carried on must be the
truth, for any line of policy which
should aim in whole or in part at it's
suppression or concealment will neces-
saflly render nugatory whatever ef
forts may be made to reach the CON
summation so earnestly desired. Thus
he New Orleans health association
which is backed by the influence of
New Orleans, will compel the author-
ties and all other persons involved TO
tell the truth all the time in order that
the campaign against yellow fever
and the fever Infection carrying mos
quito may be carried to an early and
successful conclusion.
In reply, Mr.. Warner promptly
wrote: Your letter covers the points
| nave In mind so satisfactorily that
have no hesitation in accepting an
appointment to the governing COM
mittee of the health association"

Another important matter consider
ed was the question of approving the
graduate charges carried by the ex-
press companies in lieu of the gradu-

press tariff. 1t developed that there
had been some misunderstanding. the
express companies believing that
their tariff had been approved by the
commission and they asked that this
action be taken now This tariff, it
was stated, would raise rates about 5
per cent ON 10 per cent of the busi-

tlyes of the express companies declar.
ed that this would mean an increase
of only few hundred dollars in their
revenue. but they desired it in order
to secure uniformity in the rates in
this and other states. The commits

the pixies and dirt roads must be

No further steps have been taken
toward the fall encampments to

were postponed because of the guards

The following is a synopsis of the

This, the third chapter, opens with,

ing saved by Esther and Mordecai, as
recordeded in the court and related
in the latter part of the foregoing
chapter in this story.
In the first chapter we are told of
how Vashti lost her crown.
In the second we are told of how
the beautiful Jewess, Esther, secured
It.
In this, the third. we enter into the
tragic experience of state unforeseen

Gain in Gases at New Orleans.

New Orleans. Sept. 14.-Ohicial re-
port to 6 p. M. yesterday:
New cases. AZ: total to date. 2.4lE
Deaths. 4; total, 1923.
New fOci, 8.
Cases under treatment. 30".
Cases discharged 1.7S7.
While the fact that there was =
cain yesterday in the number of now
cases Of yellow fever did not give the
authorities serious concern. the rea
son for the sudden jump in cases
within the past four or five DAYS has
been the cause Of much speculation
and considerable disappointment on
the part of the public. The disap
pointment comes largely from the fact
that any increase is bound to have a
discouraging effect elsewhere, and
therefore prolong the existence Of
quarantines.
Various reasons for the increa SO
are suggested. among them the TACT
mat physicians are now turning up
cases on the slightest pretext, ewing
TO the example that was recently
made of one cf their number. but the
federal officials are inclined to believe
that the fact that the stegomyia null
tiplies more rapidly in September if
r.ni inc. f..nn Anf I, thn
case than during any other month,
and that overconfdence has dulled
the zeal of the householders in war
ring against the mosquitoes is respon-
sible for the rise.
However, the death rate in decreas-
ing as the new cases grow more num-
erous, and it is considered probable
that the disease will henceforth be
so mild as to carry with it little dan
ger and a great deal of benefit in i'm
munizing those who are attacked by
it.
Two new points of infection were
reported yesterday outside of the city.
One is at Lecompte, in Rapides par
ish, and the other is at Berwick.
