that effect was taken yesterday by the
state board of health. ana instructions
were sent to the chief inspectors all over

sistnnts in compliance with the new or
ders he received, and all the inspectors

commenced at once carrying out the or

not allowed to leave the train on which
they were travelling, but were compelled
to pass through Alabama to other states.

the local inspection staff. Mr.. Yoe has
between twenty and twenty-five man at
work under him now, and 1t may be neces-
sary to Increase this number to thirty
