 No epidemics prevail at the pres enJ time, even grip being practically disposed of Every indication is fav- orable for continuance Of tbis very desirable state of affairs
 In subsequent conversation, Dr. Hunt attributed mgh of the present good health situation, and the excel lent prospects for continuance to the better sanitary condition brought to the city during the winter campaign The brief but effective hght made against spinal meningitis was in this respect productive of lasting good, for it impressed the public with the high desirabiiity of keeping things clean In consequence the general cleanup campaign carried out at that time by the city health authorities has been followed up by greater vigilance to the end of city cleanliness on the part of individual residents and property owners than ever brought about

STRONG 0NE
 IS ORPHEUM'S CHANGE

'-The Four Leaf Clover" closed at the Orpheum last night with such sue cess and so much favor at the hands of the public of the district that the theater management is highly conf dent that it has struck a key in pre- sentation of these clean, snappy vaudeville sketches that will continue very popular. In consequence good attendance and highly pleasing re- suits are anticipated in connection with the presentation. beginning to- night and closing Sunday night of 2 Burglars Nerve" by Cliff Dean X Co.
 The Burglars Nerve" is a comedy of the most Imaginable kind, and yet clean and wholesome throughout. The company presenting it is composed of four of the best known vaudeville ar lists on the road. They come to the Orpheum direct from a successful tour on the coast and through the larger cities of the west. The book1 with the same class of high recon mendations, well deserved, that ae- companied that attraction.
 Biff de Armo in comedy. singing and acrobatics is another laugh pro ducing vaudeville act on the bill, while Peter McCIoud, harp, song and dance is a feature of the very best in it's class.
 Three feature pictures are on the change of bill, all strong ones. Troub- led Waters, a famed picture, is among these. In all the orpheum con tinues the exceptionally big program that has prevailed with each change the last several weeks, each proving excellent and worth far more than the money charged. Notwithstanding the much higher cost of the Vaude- vile sketches now being put -on, prices remain always the same.
