SYMPOSIUM PLANNED
FOR MEDICO Meeting
Prominent Clergymen To
Deliver Address In Tulane
Theatre.

On Sunday, the 10Th of April,
there will be held in the Tulane
theatre of New Orleans, a Sym
postum on the Relation Of Reli-
gion to Hygiene and State Medi-
cine, between the hours 300 p.
m. and 500 p. m. and from 3 to
to 10 at night. The following
eminent Doctors of Divinity will
take part and deliver addresses:
At the evening session, DR.. Hen
ry, presiding elder Of the M. E.
Church South; DIR. w. III. Brin-
Gle, Pastor of the First Baptist
Church and Doctor George III.
Carnelson, Jr., Pastor of the
First Presbyterian Church; at
the night session, Rev. Loucius
Otis, s. j., President of Loyola
University, DR.. Leipsig. Rabb
of Touro Synagogue, and DR..
Robert S. Robert s. COPELAND,
rector of the Trinity Episcopal
Church.
The object and purposes Of
this Symposium is to secure the
cooperation of the clergy of all
denominations with the medicoes
in educating the public in their
religious duties in regard to per-
sonal and municipal hygiene,
especially necessary at this time
of the year. when the fly pest is
in evidence in the markets and
eating houses, and more espe-
cially on account of the proxim-
ity of boubonic plague in Hav-
ana.
In view of the rontent popula-
ton of New Orleans, especially
along the water front, which
might become infected, it is nee
essary to put the municipal house
in order before the threatened
invasion comes, for no rats no
bubonic plague.
A warfare against rats is a
hopeless proposition so long as
garbage remains uncovered,
