San Antonio, Tex, October 3D.
Profiteering among the thousands of
soldiers at this concentration point
has been halted by organization of
the Square Deal association COM
posed of business men and military
officers, which fixes prices for sol
diers on necessities. When San An
tonic began filling with soldiers two
years ago, the cry went up that ex-
orbitant prices were being asked Oy
restaurants, hotels, rooming houses
and clothiers.
To offset these conditions, leading
merchant called meetings and finally
organized the association. The price
fixing board is composed of repre-
sentative merchants and army Off
GERS, and in almost every instance sc
far the prices have been established
in accordance with the wishes of the
military members of the committee.
Fixing of prices that could be
charged by hotels and rooming
houses, which were carefully classi
fed, was the first work of the com
mittee Then restaurant prices were
regulated and later the prices
charged by lesser industries were
investigated.
Now it is announced moving pic
ture theatres will reduce their prices
the twenty five cents to be sold tC
soldiers for fifteen cents, and the
thirty cent tickets for twenty cents.

Ten People Were Admitted to Beth

Ten new cases of influenza were
admitted to the Benthany detention
hospital yesterday afternoon, and it
is reported that ten homes, where
new cases have developed, were
placarded this morning.
DR.. C. J. Holman, city health com
missioner, stated today that there is
nothing alarming in the situation, as
new cases naturally develop in fam.
lilies where some member OF the
household has had the disease. He
warns people against exposing them

itself is not very serious, the fever
abating in three days, people suffer-
ing from the disease are not care
full but catch more cold by going out
at once, and cases of bronchial
pneumonia frequently develop, which
are very serious. People who are i'll
with the disease sometimes continue
their usual work and do not consult
a physician. They thereby are IN
grave danger themselves, and are
means of communicating the disease
to others. With the precautions now
being observed in the city 1T Is pos
sible that the public quarantine re-
strictions will soon be at an end.
