STEAMER CREWS HAVE
 NOT BEEN NEGLECTED

Gov Riggs today absolutely denied the report sent out from Seattle that George Sprague, second officer of the City of Seattle, was denied landing at Juneau or that he was re fused medical attention here. He said Dr. L. o. Sloane, Territorial Health Officer, visited Sprague while the City of Seattle was in port, and asked if he wanted to go to hos pital. He said he was not sick enough for that and that he wanted to get back to Seattle. Dr. Sloane gave him medicine.
 On the return of the City of Seat tie from Skagway, her captain called Dr. Sloane on the telephone. He said that Sprague was no worse, and that it would not be necessary for Dr Sloane to go down to the ship. He said, however, that he was out of medicine. Dr. Sloane then caused medicine to be sent to Sprague. Both the captain and Dr. Sloane agreed that it would not be necessary for Sprague to go to hospital. The Chief Steward of the City of Seattle had told Gov. Riggs that Sprague was isolated from the passengers and other members of the crew. Gov. Riggs said it also is false that members of the crews of boats have not been allowed to land or receive medical attention in Alaska. We have ten marine cases in the Juneau General hospital, which is wholly given over for the care of influenza patients" said Gov Riggs. Five of these cases were taken from the La touche."
 Gov Riggs says if any one i'll of influenza has been refused a landing in Alaska it has been because there was no hospital or other facilities for the patient at that particular place.
 Dr. Sloane says he has hopes that the disease will not become epidemic in this city.
 POO Cases at ketchkan
 Gov Thomas Riggs, Jr., received telegram this morning which says there are more than 100 cases of influenza among the white people of Ketchikan and that there are nearly that many among the Indians. Gov Riggs had already taken steps to have the Indian cases cared for through Federal agencies. This is being done. Dr. Meyers and Assist ant District Attorney Ragan are among the cases at Ketchikan.
 Gov Riggs has been notified that the theatres and schools have been closed at Petersburg, and that other precautionary regulations have been promulgated.
 1 The cases that were thought to be influenza at Sitka have turned out to be colds. However, the officials there have wired to Gov Riggs ask 1 ing for advice as to preventative measures. and he has advised clos i ing schools, theatres. meetings of all kinds and the other regulations that are in effect at Juneau.
 Cure for Influenza
 A reputable medical practitioner l gives the following cure for influen "a: Gargle the throat and sluice the nose with salt and water half a dozen times every day and espec ially before going to bed at night and on getting up in the morning This is a preventative as well as a cure.

This is a day of sinister import.

and Uranus are in evil place
Warning is given by the seers
that Uranus may lead to over-con-
h1tnce in war and that because Of
lack Of preparation or proper eau
ton, the United States will suffer
heavy reverses.
The unfriendly rule of Uranus is
believed to cause much mental OBJ
liquity, encouraging deceit and
treachery and making for unnatur-
al crimes.
1t is the power Of this planet that
is said by the seers to cause so
many German atrocities and by the
same sign spies are enabled to do
harm, especially in the use Of ex-
plosives.
