Move in Right Direction. But Regular
HOSPITALS Should Be Used.

DR.. H. II. Nichols. who is III at his
home. due TO an attack Of diphtheria.
has telephoned the Times Republican
his views on, curling the influenza cpl
demic. While DR.. Nichols believes that
the opening of the isolation hospital
for influenza patients is move in the
right direction. the physician believes
that the hospital will not prove suffi-
GENTLY adequate to meet the demands
and result in stamping out the disease
gu KY.
DR.. Nichols THINKS that every case
Of influenza which develops should be
removed to a hospital. as a safeguard
for the remaining members Of the
family He points to the care Of small
pox patients in a hospital instead OF
home as the only means whereby
the disease may be eradicated. -
That the board of health COM
mandeer the two hospitals OF the city,
whose forces already are organized
and devote as much Of the hospitals
as proves necessary-ard all II neces-
sary-to the care OF Influenza patients
In this way the doctor thinks the
disease can be stopped, and only In
this way. DR.. Nichols says the board
OF health has the power to take the
hospitals. and thinks that unless the
method is employed influenza will
flourish here until the warm weather
Of summer arrives.

BY working Sunday the committee
in charge of the Red Cross emergency
hospHl for influenza cases assisted
by sisters from st. Thomas hospital.
was able to open the hospital at l07
South First avenue at noon today. This
forenoon physicians were notified that
the hospital would be ready TO receive
patients at noon. and of the class of
patients for which the hospital was
primarily intended.
BY purchasing and by borrowing
equipment the building was hurriedly
| but completely equipped from late
Saturday afternoon, when most of the
cleaning was finished. up 10 this fore
noon. Twenty-three single beds have
been installed in eight OF the eleven
rooms of the house. Beds, springs and
mattresses were procured so quickly
by being loaned by the Soldiers home,
which had more than it was using.
Rule For Admitting Patients.
Because the local Red Cross chapter
IS financing the hospital the committee.
at a meeting held Sunday night, es-
tablished certain rules for the admit
lance Of patients and for the manage
ment of the hospital, amons which are
the rules governing the class of patients
to be admitted. Thkse are:
Ffrst-Preference Is to be given to
soldiers OF the olliek armies. their
IL es. widows, children orphans of SOL
diers.
Second-Next preference shall be
given TO those who have no one to
care for them and those who. either
because of the lack of means or be-
cause Of the lack of facilities in their
homes can not be cared for at home,
and those who are really needy.
Third-Others shall in no case be
admitted to the hospital to the exclu-
sion of the first two classes named
above.
No charge is to be made for hospital
care. but there IS nothing to prevent
those who are able to do so from con-
trihutins to the Red Cross.
Sister Josephine Superintendent.
Sister Josephine and other sisters OF
ST. Thomas hospital offered their serv-
ices free for the hospital, and the COM
mittee appointed Sister Josephine su-
perintenedent. TO have charge of the
hospital and help. AS many nurses
in training as may be needed for a
night force will be employed, the vol
unteer nurses will be employed in the
day time. A cook and janitor were be-
ing employed today, and by Tuesday

der. Judging by the inquiries made
Sunday rh, n u-han the
hospital will be ready. it is expected
that probably the hospital will be filed
