and heaved tons of shells over on the
Germans. They worked six hours in

But Schools or Theatres Will Not Be
Closed in Mankato.
The Mankato board of health, con-
sisting of Mayor L. L. Champlin, City
Attorney G.. E. Phillips, and Health
Commissioner DR.. G. J. Holman and
Councilman Chris. Steiner, held a
conference at the city hall this morn
ing in regard to the influenza which
is causing considerable alarm in Men
kato. AS result of the con-
ference DR.. Holman got into com
munication with the secretary of the
state board of health in regard to
closing places where people congre-
gate.
1t was the opinion of the state
board that schools now in operation
should not be closed, as teachers are
fairly well advised as to the condi-
ton of the pupils, and visiting nurse
CO. operates with the teachers, so that
the physical status of the child is
judged by both. In that manner the
community is more. guarded against
an epidemic than if the schools were
closed. People go to places. of enter
tainment on their own responsibility
and the secretary of the state board
OF health does not propose to close
these places. Consequently no schools
or places of entertainment will be clos
ed in Mankato.
