which was taken as early as 10 o'clock

More than 1900 prisoners had been

Nurses and
Pharmacists Cannot Meet
Demands of Patients

Due TO the RAPID spread OF lnuuenZa
and the large number of cases in the
city and adjacent suburban territory,
and the abnormal increase in the
citys death rate, the demand for the
services of physicians, nurses and
pharmacists is far beyond the supply.
from forty-eight to seventy-two hours
behind responding to the calls made
on them for their services.
There are a small number of men,
bers of the Medical Corps of the Army
and Navy attempting to look after the
large number OF cases of influenza
among the war workers. However,
there are so many of these cases re-
ported each day that this service is
said to be absolutely Inadequate to
meet the demand.
Many Lack Medical Attention.
In number of instances, it is re-
ported, i'll war workers are without
attention of physicians for days. Some
deaths from influenza are ascribed, in
measure, to lack Of attention.
However, the local and Army and
Navy physicians combating the cpl
demlc are helpless to call on all cases.
The suggestion has been made that
the situation in this respect could be
quickly relieved ii every member of
the medical corps of the Army and
Navy in the city engaged in other
work We're called out to look after the
thousands Of i'll persons in the city.
Nurse Situation. Even Worse.
The situation for nursing services is
even worse. 1t is almost impossible to
secure the services of trained nurses.
The Red Cross and the trained nurses
associations of the city and other fac
tors in this connection are doing all
in their power to relieve the situation
in this respect. and there are hopes
that their nursing services just es-
,ablished will aid greatly. 1t is said
the Red Cross has called from other
duties hundreds of their nurses or those
under Red Cross training.
One grave feature of the situation
is found in the drug situation. Phar-
macists are in great demand to meet
the call for filing the thousands of
prescriptions flooding every pharmacy
in the city. The drug clerks are work.
ing long hours to meet the demand for
medicines, but are making little head
way, as the new prescriptions are COM
ing in faster than those in hand can
be filled. All drug stores are trying to
solve the problem and give every
customer a square deal by filling each
prescription in the order in which it
comes to them; first come first served
is the rule. 1t was suggested this
morning by an Army officer that the
fight being made by the health au-
thorities in this respect could be made
efficient and certain if the pharmacists
connected with the Army and Navy,
engaged in other work in the city,
were called out and detailed among
the druggists needing drug clerks.
Undertakes Resources Taxed.
The abnormal increase in the death
rate of the city has taxed the re-
sources of the undertakers to supply
burial baskets and cases for shipment
of bodies, many of the dead being
among the war workers who came to
the city recently and whose friends
ship the corpses back to their homes.

Manslaughter Prosecutions.

If any should die and it can be
shown that landlords have denied
them the common comfort of heat,
thus aggravating their sufferins and
fastening the end, prosecutions for
manslaughter might follow. The War
Department is especially incensed be-
cause some fine soldiers ready for
service abroad have been incapacitated
by the disease and it is believed that
their unheated rooms were RESPONSE
BILE in a large measure for their Attic
tions.
Capt. Peyser said he had received a
number of complaints and had refer
red them all to Inspector Gessford OF
the police department. Inspector
Gessford will investigate all COM
plants, interview the offending land
lords and take such action action as
under the circumstances he may feel
justified in taking. Capt. Peyser said
the War Department is vitality inter-
ested in the subject because many Of
fcers and soldiers are here awaiting
transfer to France.

 DAYS OF SAM JONES
(Atlanta Constitution)

From Billy Sundays platform the other night Mrs. Sam Jones, widow of the famous Georgia evangelist, looked down upon a vast sea of faces, her eyes dimmed with memories of other audi ences in the days of long ago.
 Beside her stood George K. Stuart, for many years co-Worker with Sam Jones, and one of the souths greatest evangelists. In the audience sat Charlie Tillman, author of many of the hymns now being sung in churches throughout the country, and himself a member of Sam Jones's little band of workers that has drifted so far apart since the passing of the loved Georgian.

Homesteaders in the Flagstaff country are going into the dairying and hog business on a small scale, w. A. Barr, state livestock specialist an nounced yesterday upon his return from the north.
 That country has been depending sargely upon oat hay and potatoes, with the result that butter and milk have been shipped in, together with other farm products that they might jus, as well raise for themselves MT. Barr continued.
 The homesteaders will not attempt to raise for the outside market, but will be content for the time being at least to supply their home marker, especially with butter and milk. The larger land owners in the north have not encouraged to any noticeable ex- tent the homesteader in spreading out into crops and industries needed for the home market. I attended several meetings while away and the farmers seemed enthusiastic over the dairy COW and hog raising proposition"

A change is announced in the To- cation of the offices of the United States marines corps recruiting sta tion from 111a West Washington street to 161s West Washington street. The new location is directly opposite the former location, where a suite of large and commodious rooms are being occupied, with the equipment to handle the increasing number of en- listments into this branch of the service.

There are 40 pillars in the mosque, and at every one you will find a pro- lessor and his class. The other 100 professors take their classes where they can find room 10 sit.

 The speakers voice was husky. There were tears in his eyes. He in tended to say more, but his emotion was too great. With a sudden bow he finished and left the platform.
 The cheering of the audience was hushed when Paul Jones climbed from the press box at Billy Sundays re- quest and stood beside his mother. They were introduced to the audience and the big crowd cheered as Mrs. Jones and her son bowed their ac- knowledgement. As the mother and son of the dead evangelist left the platform the silence of the audience was nothing less than benediction and a blessing.
