Prompt Action in Guarding
Premises Prevents Spread
of the Disease.
DIR. BOWLING
ATTENDS MEETING
List of Speakers at Parkview
Theatre and Differ
ent Dates.

Prompt action of the Community
Council of Defense OF Covinston has
minimized the danger OF influenza
spreading in this town. The disease
was brought into the family OF MT.
L. G. Noise, Kenneth Noise having
contracted it during his travel from
Chicago here from a companion on
the train.
DR.. ], F. Bouquoi, the family ply
sician reported the case to the Cow
irgton Board CT Health AID sent
slides and cultures to the State
Board of Health While negative
results followed the first laboratory
test, there being found streptococci
and pneumococci but no Pfelff 81
bacilli, which is present in the dis
ease, DR.. Bouquet was SO positive OF
the symptoms that further tests weie
made from cultures from the back OF
the nostrils, as suggested by Dr.
Bowling, when positive Pfeiffer bacll-
Ii were found.
The Council of Defense ordered a
quarantine of the Noise residence
and took necessary precautions to
prevent a spread of the disease. In
the meantime a phone message was
sent to Dr. Bowling, asking his pres
euce in CovingtOn, and he attended
a meeting OF the Council Wednes-
day evening.
The meeting was attended by a
large number of citizens and the
medical profession was almost en-
tirely represented, there being pres
ent Drs. j. F. Bouquoi, H. E. Gau-
treaux. A. G.. Maybe, H. ID. Bulloch
and L. C. Heintz.
DIR. Bowling commended the az
ton of the Council and said that all
that could be had been done. lie
said the disease could be spread by
carriers as well as by persons anlit!-
ed with the disease, however, and
that all citizens should be careful IN
sneezing or coughing to hold hand
kerchief to the mouth and nostrlls.
That in expectorating the vesael
should contain water, and that IN
the street it was safer to eXpectOra1e
in cutters containing water. But
anyhow, not to eXpectorate on the
sidewalks. That the Board OF Health
should handle the matter with the
same safeguards that were ordln arlly
used in protecting communities from
spread of disease. Rooms in Whlcn
patients were confined should he
thoroughly cleaned and plenty ol
fresh air allowed to circulate through
them That fumigation was not nee
essary.
There are now five cases in the
Noise family. Kenneth is (ompara-
lively recovered and the other cases
are doing nicely. The rapidlty with
which the disease spread to six mem
bers of the household empaa sizes the
Importance of isolation and care.

THE GOLDEN JUBILEE OF REV.
JOS. KOEGERL.

Though more than seventy-f0ur
years of age, Rev. JOS. Koegerl, for
twenty-six years pastor of the Cath
olic congregation of Covington, still
hale and hearty and full OF vigor.
will celebrate the fiftieth anniversary
of his ordination next Wednesday.
October 2, at St. Benedict, La.
Father Koegerl made his ph1lo-
sophical and theological studies at
the famous University Of Louvain In
Belgium, and upon his ordination re-
paired to America, the goal of his
dreams and aspirations. For twen-
ty-two years Father Koegerl exercis-
ed his priestly functions at New Or
leans with marked success. Throat
trouble contracted during the long
years of close application decided
him to take charge of the compare
lively small congregation at Coving-
ton, despite the offers Of large con-
gregations made to him by the Arch
bishop. What medicine and Doctors
failed to do for Father Koegerl in
many years the health-giving ozono
of st. Tammany did for him In a
very short time, so that despite the
fact that he has passed the biblical
three score and ten, his physical and
Intellectual powers are unimpairea.
The Most Rev. John Shaw, Arch
bishop of New Orleans, and maLy
other dignitaries will attend the cele-
bration at st. Joseph's Abbey with
er Father Koegerl has retired to
spend the remainder of his laborious
life in tranquility and prayer.
During his long career in Covi1g-
ton, Father Koegerl was the friend
Of the poor and the staunch support
er of every measure that had a
greater and better CovingtoI' for
its end and aim.
At the same time there will be
celebrated the sacredotal golden jubi-
lee of Rev. Sigisbert Earn, O. 5. ~,
who was ordained September y.
1868. Rev. FIR. Earn, by reason OF
bodily affection, will be only a
passive celebrant in the ceremonies
in memory of his many years OF ser
vice in the Church.
