HEALTH OFFICER DEFENDS
HIS QUARANTINE MEASURES

If the public were better informed
as to the peculiar character of the
deadly influenza germ, there would be
less opposition to the orders Of the
health department and fewer difficult
ties would be put in the way of pro-
tecting the general public. This is the
opinion of City Health Officer. DR.. w.
A. Adair, who, following the discussion
which arose last week, makes a state
ment to the citizens of Moscow. The
statement is as follows:
"Up to o'clock Friday evening,
January 8, every condition was decid-
edly favorable to the lifting OF the
community quarantine restriction, and
it was my intention to advise lifting
then. Before Z o'clock, seven new
cases were reported in five different
families for the one day (Friday) and
five additional ones for Saturday
This rate is much higher than that of
any other two days during the last
two weeks.
"The total number of new cases for
the week from December 29 to jan
uary 5, is II cases. These cases are
found in eight new families and one
old one carried over from the preced-
lHS Wtch, III WulCu JWO ueW cases Q6-
veloped, in comparison to the number
of cases last week being found in
four families with six cases.
Hereafter if anyone wishes to base
their article of complaint based upon
the number of cases during the week,
kindly get your information up to
date
would state that those that are
placing their faith in strict house
quarantine and contending for opening
up the places now closed are ignor-
ant of the known facts concerning the
modus operandi of the flu.
While there is much the profession
does not know about influenza we do
know few facts, namely that it is
very infectious or contagious in it's
first stages. There are many we'll
instances where whole
gatherings have been infected and all
came down by some one being pres
ent who had not yet realized that they
had the disease.
1--WE recognize the truthfulness of
the statement of U. s. Surgeon Gen
eral Blue, who states that influenza is
a crowd disease and should be handled
as such. Because of these facts we
can not quarantine as successfully
against it as we do in smallpox and
scarlet fever, for these diseases are
1ot so infectious in their first stages
and gradually develop to this stage
as the eruptions and desquamations
appear, and we have a chance to quar-
antine the patient before they have a
'hance to infect a crowd like they do
With influenza. Hence the quarantine
ng the individual will not suffice, but
he crowds where people are likely to
20 must be prevented as much as pos
;ible if we are to further prevent and
control the flu.

ATTORNEYS AND JUDGE AGREE
TO UPHOLD HEALTH
OFFICERS

In accordance with an order issued
some several weeks ago, Judge Steele
convened court this morning, but ow-
ing to the influenza quarantine ad-
journed it Immediately for an indef-
mite period.
The judge called the attention of the
attorneys to the fact that the health
officers had forbidden public meetings,
and he stated that nothing further
would be done in court at the present
time.
No jury has been ordered, and none
will be called for at least two weeks,
and not then unless the contagious
disease is under control
Judge Steele desires to go on rec
ord as being in entire sympathy with
every effort to stamp out the influ-
enza, and the members of the bar ex-
pressed their opinion that everything
possible should be done to aid the
health officers in bringing about re-
turn of "a healthy condition to the
community. The bar was in perfect
harmony in deciding that during the
next two weeks no business should be

ARMENIAN AND SYRIAN
RELIEF CAMPAIGN
CHAIRMAN PERRY PLANS TO
RAISE $4,000 IN LATAH
COUNTY

With characteristic forethought and
well-dlrected energy, the Reverend
Mr.. H. 0. Perry, chairman for the
Armenian and Syrian relief campaign,
has formulated and is now executing
his plans for raising in Latah county
the sum of $4,000, the dates of the
drive being from January II to 19.
Chairman Perry is working under
the auspices of the county council of
defense and will make use of the same
which the council has employed in all
previous campaigns for raising money.
"A letter has been sent out to each
of the twenty precinct captains over
the county, suggesting suitable plans
for raising their designated quotas.
The sum of $1,000 has been appor-
toned over the county districts.
In Moscow five precinct captins
will conduct the campaign. They
will meet tomorrow afternoon at four
o'clock to determine on the methods
they will employ in raising Moscow's
allotment Of $500. The committee
consists of Martin S. Mickey, Howard
David, C. L. Jain, J. R. Collins, and
C. A. Tenwick.
cit will be a matter of intense and
gratifying interest to the people in
the county, / am sure,' stated Mr..
Perry, "to know that every dollar
they contribute will go directly for
relief. Not one cent will be deducted
for expense. In this respect the Ar
menian and Syrian relief drive diff
fers from that of any hitherto con-
Quoted. The necessary expenses in
cident to every campaign for funds
are all to be borne by Cleveland H.
Dodge, treasurer of the fund, who
has generously agreed to foot the
bills from his private purse.
GAS nearly as l can figure it out,
it will be necessary for US to get an
average of three dollars from every
family in the county in order to raise
our quota, and / am in strong hopes
that we shall not experience great
difficulty in doing so. When the
people realize that there are 100000
Armenians who will starye to death
unless food is dispatched to them, |
do not believe they will withhold their
"Another new feature of this drive
is that every contribution will be in
the fullest sense a donation, for there
are no assessments. This is to be
case of voluntary giving. Those in
charge of the drive will do their best
to make the people appreciate the
needs and merits of these afflicted
people, and will then put the matter
up to the consciences and
kindness of heart Of the people of
Latah county.

made for humanity. AS soon as "a J
crop can be planted and harvested

household words to practically every
young He was born in New York
city on October 27, 1858. He was
educated at Harvard where he was
awarded the B. A. degree in 1880. In

URGES
RECULATI0N0F
MEAT INDUSTRY

WASHINGTON, March 4 Abby AS
sociated Press).--A confidential re-
port made to President Wilson by
Herbert C. Hoover six months ago, on
the big meat packers, has been made
public by the food administration, at
the direction of the President, ito
establish the real position of Mr..
Hoover and the food administration
on the control of the Chicago packing
industries" In recent hearings be-
fore congressional committees wit
nesses for the livestock men charged
collision between Mr.. Hoover and the
five leading packers.
In the report, in response to a re-
quest from the President for his views
on the recommendations of the fed
eral trade commission, Mr. Hoover
said he reaffirmed his opinion, given
nearly a year before, that here is
a growing and dangerous domination
of the nations foodstuffs," and ap--
proved some of the commissions pro-
pOsals. He recommended construc-
tive regulation rather than stretching
temporary war powers of the govern
ment, and expressed the belief that
the domination of the packers did not
necessarily imply wrongdoing on their
part, but was the natural outgrowth
"of various factors which need cor
rectiOn.'
Mr.. Hoover accepted as economic
ally sound the federal trade commits
sions recommendation regarding fed
eral control of animal and refrigera-
tor car service, and said stockyards
should be "entirely dissaciated from
control of the packers" He contended,
however, that wrong practices be-
tween buyers and sellers would not
be corrected by the government con
trolling or owning yards.

TO CONSIDER
PLANS TO AID
CRIPPLED MEN

NEW YORK, March (by Associ-
ated Press) .-Officials of government
tai agencies of seven nations and do
minions will meet here from March 18
to % to plan for the rehabilitation of
disabled men, civilians as well as SOL
diers, and put them back on the pay
roll. The conference will be held I'M
der the auspices of the Red Cross In
stitute for Crippled and Disabled Men
The authorities to be represented
are the British minister of pensions,
the French National Institute for War
Cripples, the Belgian Military Insti-
tute for Crippled Soldiers, the Italian
ministry of pensions, the Canadian
invaded soldiers commission, the
Australian department of repatriation,
and the bureau of re-education and re-
construction of the American Red
Cross in France. Individual organiza-
tons of other countries also will be
represented.
Authorities in the United States who
are expected to attend are the federal
board of vocational education, which
is providing for American disabled sol
diers training for self-support; the di-
vision of physical reconstruction of
the office of the surgeon general of
the army, which is providing restora-
tive treatment and education during
the convalescent period; the bureau

artificial limbs to soldiers of the Amer
lean expeditiOnary force, and pays dis
ability compensation; and the Ameri
can Red Cross department of civilian
relief, which, through its home serv-
ice sections provides social after-care
for disabled men.
TO make disabled soldiers or civil
ians self-supporting rather than to
permit them to lose initiative and
lapse back upon the support of war
pensions or wOrkmen's compensation
relief is one Of the aims of the con-
ference
Pointing out that many more men
are disabled annually in industry than
have been incapacitated by military
service, the authorities who have an
interest in the cripple are planning to
give the civilian the same relief as
the soldier.
