VIII Use Domestic Room in High School
Building for Emergency Hospital Pa
tients and others-Seven Influenza
Patients Today.

No statement having been issued by
the state board of health relative to re-
suming schools, church services and
public gatherings, it is assumed by
Health Officer Henry Tucker that it is
the state boards intention to keep the
ban on another week on account of the
epidemic Of influenza
Five homes were reported to Dr. Tuck
er this forenoon for quarantine, and sew
en- new eases were reported two OF them
being in houses where there already We're
cases.
The total number Of eases reported
yesterday was IA, but only six homes
were affected and in some of them the
disease has been having its run, so the
disease cannot be said to be spreading
ahnormallv.
The increase yesterday was due to
eight cases in one house on Vernon street.
Three children Of Leo LaFrancc, who is
III with influenza in the emergency hospi-
tai and whose wife died Oct II, were
laced under quarantine and a card was
nut up for five cases in the family of her
mother, Mrs. John Garrity, in the same
house.
All patients at the emergency hospital
are improving. Charles Spaulding OF
l04 Elliot street went to his home yes
terday after being i'll at the hospital
some time. Two persons were admitted
yesterday. Miss Carolyn Fandel, who has
had charge of the work at the hospital
went this morning to Boston to stay a
lfew DAYS and attend the wedding Of q
sister Her place is being taken by Miss
Frances Stellman.

into effect at once, whereby the teachers
who are remaining in town while the
schools are closed, will prepare food il
the domestic science department of the
high school building for patients in thC
emergency hospital and for such Others
