Result of Cleveland Conference

Emergency bureaus to assist civil
ian communities and State Boards of
Health in combating the influenza
epidemic are to be Immediately estab-
1ished at Columbus, Indianapolis and
Louisville by the Lake Division Red
Cross Committee on Influenza.
This was decided at Lake Division
Headquarters, Cleveland, at a confer
ence to which representatives of the
State Boards of Health of Ohio, In
diana and Kentucky had been sent
in response to an invitation from Di-
vision Manager B. F. Bourne.
The hope was expressed at the con-
ference that nurses could be made to
see that nursing civilians i'll with in
f1uenza is just as important patri-
otto and Red Cross duty as nursing
soldiers and sailors. 1t was also
pointed. out that many civilians are
retaining so-called luxury nurses
which could easily be spared to assist
in the present emergency.
DR.. Mccormick, representing the
Kentucky Board of Health, stated
that school teachers are being used
as nurses in that State.
No nurse will be assigned to in
f1uenza work except upon the request

INVESTIGATING MYSTERIOUS
FIRES.

Deputy State Fire Marshal Ed.
Hite, formerly of Paris, has been in
Cynthiana, investigating the cause of
the many mysterious fires that have
visited that city recently. The origin
of the three fires, the big Lebus ware
house, the Reister & VanDeren sta
bles, and the Lebus and the Smith &
Turney fires, has caused much specu-
lation. Mr.. Hite held consultations
with Mr.. Lebus, Messrs. Turney &
Smith and other business men and
talked the situation over. Investiga-
ton has been made and some evidence
unearthed, which, when followed up,
may result in arrests being made in a
few days.

Horsemen see in the low prices
realized for thoroughbred horses at
recent sales the decadence of the
running horse as sporting feature.
An instance of this was noted here,
when at the dispersal sale of twenty
eight head of brood mares, yearlings
and colts at Martin Doyle's Sister
Mary Stock Farm, held near Paris.
Saturday, the animals sold at ridicu-
lousy low figures Sister Mary, in her
day one of the greatest thoroughbreds
on the turf, and producer of several
noted turf performers, sold for $40.
The total of the sales amounted to
$2,290, an average of only $82. Mr..
Doyle is retiring from the turf after
a period of over thirty years, during
which time his string has won some
notable events. Mr.. Doyle also dis
posed of a lot of hogs, cattle and
sheep at good prices at this sale.
The sale was conducted by Auc-
tioneers Geo. D. Speakes, of Paris,
and George Balm, of Lexington.
There was a large crowd in attend.

Cannot Take Kits Abroad

Limitation of transport space has
cansed the War Department to pro-
hibit soldiers from taking Comfort
Kits abroad. Official notice of this
ruling has just been communicated
to the Red Cross.
From now on Comfort Kits will be
sent overseas by the Red Cross in
bulk, and will be distributed to SOL
diers in Europe by Red Cross agen-
cies there.
Notice of all chapters is called to
the necessity, more imperative then
ever, of sending all kits to the Divis-
ion Warehouse instead of giving
them to drafted men who will not be
allowed to carry them overseas.

REMARKABLE INCIDENTS IN THE
FIGHT AGAINST "FLU."

An ordinance compelling the wear
ing of gauze masks by every person
in San Francisco as a means of pre-
venting the spread of the influenza
epidemic has been passed by the
Board of Supervisors at the request
of the Board of Health. Penalties for
violation are fines ranging from SIS
to 500, or 10 days imprisonment, or
both. The ordinance is Immediately
effective. Masks may be discarded
only in homes or during meal times.
The ban has been practically lifted
on the illicit whisky traffic in the
mountain section of Kentucky. Ply
sicians recommend the product as
good to combat the influenza epidemic
and much of the product is being
carried overland from the Virginia
mountains. AS a result of the de-
mand the product has been known to
sell for $50 a gallon within the past
few days. Ten dollars a pint has
been refused in some instances.
An investigation into the situation
in all sections of the Kentucky
mountains show appalling conditions.
At Sergent, where DR.. B. F. Wright,
of Seco, is working, and where, in
some respects, there has been i'm
provement, conditions are still far
from favorable, whole families being
seriously ill. Thirteen cases are re-
ported in the family of G. H. Blakely,
the father, mother and eleven chill
dren occupying two small rooms with
poor sanitary conditions, each unable
to minister to the other.
All courts except the probate and
Juvenile, in Cleveland, o., were clos
ed following a petition Of the Cleve-
land Bar Association as a preventive
in the influenza epidemic there. They
will not repoen until November
IL. The Juvenile court will try only
such cases which can not be held
over to a future date. City Health
Commissioner lockwood ordered all
elevator operators to wear masks.
The influenza epidemic is sweeping
Breathitt county, and calls were sent
to the Red Cross and Government to

Local physicians estimate that there
are 1000 cases in the county, $50 Of
which are in Jackson. Practically
every mine is shut down or about to
close. Reports reach Jackson of
many families being in distress, every
member of some families being in
bed. With only three physicians in
teh county, desperate situation ex-

Miss Kittie Reed, stenographer at
Hazard, has written to her mother,
Mrs Sarah Reed, of Cynthiana, that
when DR.. Whittenburg came to Haz-
ard to combat the Spanish Influenza
in that place and Lothian, he asked
her and several of her friends from
the boarding house to go with him
to Lothian to help nurse the sick.
They found conditions there alarm

large families living in a double
house, every member was effected
with influenza and all died except an
infant a week old.

Wilson sing. She does not have a
wonderful voice but she would be well
worth hearing II she were not our

I did not like about her was that when
some one asked her to sing Indiana"
she said she did not know It. At the
close Of her program she gave a two
minute talk to the crowd Of soldiers
that damned the big auditorium and
we found that she had inherited some
of her dads ability to say the right
thing at the right time. l never heard
anything said to soldiers quite SO per-
tinent, sincere and effective. My visit
home seems like a dream. l haven't
any kick at all against army life. and
yet you can't realize how good 1t
seemed to have mothers arms about
me again, to walk down street with
dad. to see sister and play with the
babies, and to talk things over with
Bud. There were a lot Of things l
enjoyed, All the folks were so good
to me and every one surely treated
me fne-someumes all Of it nearly
made me choke. l never wanted to
get home SO badly; l never had such
good time in a week, and yet /
never hated to leave so little. After
visit like that l would be satisfied
