Still On Increase
"Renorts reaching me to-day indl-
eate that influenza is still lncreas-
ing in the state and the raising Oh
the anticongregating order Is not
anywhere in sight" said Dr. %.
FRANKLIN Roger. State Commlssioner
of Health, to-day. Reports from
pbiladelphia and Chester are to the
erect that the crest has been reach-
ed. but it is still too early to talk
about that point being touched IN
Schuylkill county or the state at
large" 1o.,,s
county liquor dealers who called on
DR.. Royer to-day were informed OIL
conditions and told that no assurance
could be given when orders woulu
be changed.
Following a meeting with DR.. Roy

they will go by train" said General

calls and the medical stores are be-
ing supplied at the towns"
While no results from the drastic
quarantine measures are expected
yet, DR.. Raunick said there may be
a slight change late in the week.
Whether it will mean a steady in
crease in cases until the crest of
the epidemic is reached, or whether
the city is now passing through that
stage and the number of new cases
will decrease. could not be told,
health officials declared.
Outlook More Hopeful
With everyone cooperating in the
closing of schools, theaters, bowling
alleys, saloons and all other places
where large crowds gather, and
with fair weather conditions the
outlook is more hopeful now it was
said. Everything will remain closed
however, until all further danger of
= spread of the disease has passed.
