Philadelphia, Oct. 4,-The most
sweeping closing order issued by
the Philadelphia board of health in
MANY years was decided upon today

iof Spanish influenza and pneumonia
which is growing more serious here
each day.
All schools. churches, Sunday
schools, theaters and public gath
erings of all kinds we're ordered

to all effort to prevent any serious
curtailment of production of war
materials, Philadelphia and its en-
virons constituting one of the great
est war industry centers in the
world.
The order also applies to all in
door liberty loan meetings and it
may have a serious effect on the

health department expects a big
jump in figures tomorrow as orders
were sent out to physicians to re-
port all cases. 1t is estimated that
