FLU CAR SERVICE ORDER

Following the order by Health OF
llcer Manning in Omaha, that cars
should carry only such passengers as
they could seat, the same order was
placed in force in Council Bluffs.
The Board Of Health of Council
Bluffs rescinded that order at a
meeting Monday night on the rec
onmendation of DR.. S. H. Bower,
health director. Doctor Bower said
it was the opinion Of the 700 doctors
who met in Chicago last week, that
orders of this kind were of no use,
and that it was useless to interfere
with people who wished to go to and
from Omaha by keeping the order in
