SHERIFF BREWS-
TER SERIOUSLY
ILL AT HOME

Sheriff T. E. Brewster has been
quite i'll at his residence on Nine
teenth Avenue, in Covington. His
condition was so serious at one time
that fear was expressed as to MS re-
covery. Later he was said to have
improved considerably and there was
a brighter atmosphere around the
home where so many of his friends
kept in constant communication Wahh
the family.
Drs. Gautreaux, Bulloch and Bou-
quoi have been In attendance. Sc
curing the services of skilled nurse
has been difficult, by reason OF SO
many being called to duty during the
influenza. but this need is now sup
piled.
Mr.. Brewster was anxious to see
his son, John Brewster, who IS sta
toned at the military camp in New
Orleans, but orders had to be obtain
ed from Washington before a fur
Tough could be obtained. He is now
at home. Mr.. Brewster's brother,
DR., l.. A. Brewster, of New Orleans,
is also with him.
Lines of automobiles in front OF
the residence testified to the solici-
tation Of his friends, and while the
doctors would allow no one in the
room, the large front gallery was oc-
cupied by groups who silently wait
ed for better news. 1t is believed
to-day (Friday) that Mr.. Brewster S
rugged constitution and determine
tion will carry him through safely.
Acute Bright's disease, with COM
plicated heart trouble, is the cause
of his illness.

PROCLAMATION.

Whereas, Spanish influenza has be-
come epidemic throughout the cor"-
try, and under crowded conditions is
rapidly spreading and in some sec
tions attended by large mortality;
and,
Whereas, it is advised by the State
Board of Health that measures be
taken in all localities to keep the
disease in control and prevent its
spreading. it being directed that
churches, schools, theatres, picture
shows, and all public places where
there are large congregations OF peo-
ple should be closed and that people
should be prevented from gathering
in crowds.
Therefore, while Covington has
but a few cases of the disease at
present. in view of the fact that the
prevention of the disease becomes
absolutely a war measure and oil
great necessity, considering the ship
building interests of the Government
in st. Tammany parish, 1t Is deemed
duVlSd Ul0, Ill COuIOI Mlty WIN va
opinion of the Board of Health Oh
Covington and resident physicians OF
the Medical Society, to issue this my
proclamation, That all schools, Prot.
estant and Catholic Churches, and
picture shows be closed until further
notice, and that crowds be prohibited
from gathering in the streets or in
public buildings, and more especially
during the arrival and distribution
of mail at the post Office.
And it is further advised thai
children be kept at home and on
the streets as much as possible, and
that in case of colds or other symp
toms that might occur in grip or in
fluenza a physician be immediatel,
summoned.

Spanish influenza has become epi-
demic throughout the United States,
and we are experiencing the same in
convenience that followed it's advent
in Europe. In some sections it has
proven quite fatal, while in others
it has been of comparatively mild
form.
It has hindered the mobilization OF
troops and has slowed up the f'ourth
Liberty Loan drive. Schools, thea
tres, churches, barrooms and pubic
places have been closed and the gath
ering of crowds prohibited. But this
conditions is not expected to continue
long.
st. Tammany parish has also come
in for it's share of affliction. Sl1delI
has suffered quite serious inconvenl-
ence but the mortality thus Tar IS
said to be very small. The principal
suffering is from Inconvenience in
business. Five of the six tele-
phone girls have been stricken and
the service has been very difficult.
The remaining operator has continu-
ed steadily at work.
Covington, Slidell, Vaudeville,
Madisonville, and other towns have
taken the precaution of obeying the
order of the State Board of Health,
closing schools, churches, shows, etc.
while care has been taken to instruct
those Of the rural districts in the
methods of preventing spread OF the
disease.
