precariors. A shortage Of doctors and
nurses is keenly felt, and those of both
] professions who are not themselves i'll of
; the malady are working day and night
: to alleviate suffering 1t takes every
} available physician in the city more than
day to answer all calls, and as often as
} each returns to his office he finds list
; of fresh cases awaiting administration
With the ranks of both teachers and
! students decimated by grip, the super.
, intendent and commissioners closed the
z schools this morning. Thus far no ban
! has been placed on public gatherings, al.
though it is believed in many quarters
that action Of this kind should be taken
as the grip, it is said, is easily commune
Gated, especially in crowds. Everywhere
in the city business establishments are
finding their working forces seriously de.
pleted and in notable instances the pro-
! prietors have been compelled to close
their places for lack of help
