Memphis Should Loosen Up.

Dr. J. P. Runyan, president of the Arkansas state board of health, has gone to Memphis for the purpose of conferring with Dr. Heber Jones of the Memphis board with reference to the entry of Arkansas people into that city, He will ask that the Memphis regulations be modified to the ex- tent of not requiring Arkansas people who enter Memphis, when provided with a health certificate of the Arkansas state board, to have a special permit from Dr. Jones as well. It is contended by the Arkansas board that this works an unnecessary hardship upon Arkansas people, since the quarantine is maintained so rig idly that no one from any infect ed district is permitted to enter this state.
