| WINGED the best possible treatment for tho
sick is obtainable at the emergency hos
pitfalls, there is no intention to force pa
tcnts to 60 there whose families feel
that they can be properly treat ted ut home.
| This Is bJng done to induce the prompt
report OF cases OF fever In their inclpient
stages. So far as the health authorities
! are concerned, theyy say that every case
! even of suspicious fever islfnow being
promptly reported.
Some sensational state ments have gone
tout through private letters and In special
dispatches giving the Impression that tho
fun extent Of tho situation here Is not
being made public That has been stated
to be IN no sense q fact, Every doctor Is
under Il pledge to report all cases lmme-
diutoly, and there Is no desire to m!sreprc-
sent the daily statement OF cases or
deaths.
No reports have come to- day OF cases
outside Of New Orleans.

ported by the Dock Commission, which

quite possibly been sent to other points
to avoid detention after leaving here.
