WATCHING THE FLU
BOARD OF HEALTH FINDS SiTuA.
TON SATISFACTORY

Oskaloosa Board of Health held a
conference of members at the Mayors
office Tuesday afternoon to review the
local situation and to keep in touch
with preventative work. The situation
was reported to be satisfactory under
the rules now in force and no chang.
es were advocated.
With the prevalence of holiday
crowds in town an increase in the
number of new cases was expected but
thus far the cases have shown a grad.
ual falling OFF and the epidemic ap-
pears to be on the wane.
Not a single new case was reported
in the city of Oskaloosa all day yes
terday from morning to night. Only
one case was reported this morning
up to noon.

LID IS ON AGAIN IN NEWTON
This Time II viii Not Be Lifted For
Indefinite Time, According
To Board.

Newton, Dec. l1.-Newton is once
again under public ban.
The board of health met yesterday
and decided it would be the proper
thing to place the quarantine on the
city again. The quarantine is on for
an indefinite period but it is CERTAIN,
according TO Information given. that
il will not be lifted agan as long as
there is any noticeable presence of the
epidemic in the city.
The board of health lifted the pub
lie ban on Nov %, Thanksgiving day,
thinking that it would be safe TO go
without any restrictions on public as
semblies. But the board of health
thinks now that this can not be done.
For that reason the lid is on now,
tighter than ever before, and there is
absolutely no promise of when it win
be lifted again. Certainly not until
there is much less influenza than there
Is in the city at this time.
