resumed the following Sunday,
Mayor Wheeler said today that
health officials believed that tho
ban should be removed Monday.
1t has been. in effect here longer
than in any other place, and,
while there still are q number of
influenza cases. thcy feel that
nothing Is to be gained by further
restrictions.
The mayor and the city health
officer emphasized the Importance
of care. The people should not
grow lax in taking the ordinary
precautions, they said. The exer-
else of care is the most effective
way, they say, to end the epi-
demic. The great majority of the
people, 1t was said, are immune
from the disease, either because
of having had it or from not con-
uacting it despite continual ex-
posure to it.
The physicians warned people
becoming i'll to immediately go to
bed and summon a physician.
Care is the most important thing,
they said. The greatest trouble,
it was pointed out, has been
caused by people going around
while III or returning to work too
soon after getting up.
With the lifting of the health
ban and the resembling of the
Hghtless night order, things
gradually will return to normal In
the city. During the seven weeks
the ban has been effective, the
ater owners, of course, have lost
considerable money, for their
show houses were closed during
the best season of the year. They
stood the loss graciously, how
ever, but naturally are pleased
TINT the order has been rescinded.
The closing order also had Its ef-
feet upon the everyday business
of the city. Merchants report a
considerable falling on In the
business they anticipated. This
is partly due to the fact that
peOpse did not come in from the
country because of tho ravnges
