Isolation of Cases
Is Found Effective

Isolation and quarantine of all in
fluenza patients is given as the most
effective known measure to prevent
the spread of the disease in a study of
measures adopted for the control of
the influenza epidemic compiled by
DR.. Wllfrild II. Kellogg, secretary ana
executive officer of the California
state board of health.
Copies of this study, which give an
interesting insight into the value, as
far as could be learned, of some of
the various measures adopted in an
effort to stamp out the disease in cit
les throughout the country. were re-
ceived yesterday by City Health Off
Ger Adele.
poo Isolation Found Effective.
In his review DR.. Kellogg states that
rigid quarantine proved impractical
and served successfully only as long
as the quarantine remained in effect.

DISCHARGED SOLDIERS ARE
URGED TO PROTECT PAPERS

"It is an excellent idea that dis
charged soldiers and sailors file their
honorable discharges and other mat
ter pertaining to their services In the
United States army and navy with
the register of Deeds" H. G. Flieth,
member OF local board No. 2, said
70 "a Pilot reporter when asked what
he thought of the suggestion.
These papers are mighty valuable
and the men may have an opportunity
to use them in the future. If they are
on record they are much less likely
to be destroyed than as if they are
permitted to lie about home"
The army and navy discharge may be
regarded lightly just now, for the man
who receives it oftentimes may simply
consider it a means to an end. If
the record is on file with the register
of deeds a certified copy may be OBJ
tanned at any time. AS time flies by
many of these records will be des-
troyed by fire or loss and duplicates
perhaps cannot be obtained. Even if
through the war department, duplicates
can be obtained, it would only be by
considerable trouble. They are not
likely to be accurate reproductions OF
the original

"POLLYANNA"

"Pollyanna," in comedy form, as de-
vised by Catherine Chisholm Cushing,
from the famous stories by Eleanor
H. Porter, reaches the stage of the
Grand Opera House on Sat-, March
l. Klaw and Erlanger and George c..
Tyler bring it with an exceptionally
able cast. 1t combines Claire Mer-
Sereau as POllyonna, who grows up
in the play from the child of twelve
into the maid of seventeen and other
players of fine achievement, including
Gordon tombstone, George Lindsey,
John Webser, Fanchon Campbell,
Katherine Rober, Helen Weathersby
Master Thomas Deely and others.
The keynote of comedy is optimism
the bright out look upon life-the
spreading broadcast of good-cheer and
happiness. And it is a love story
without any morbid sex problem. 1t
is described as a sunny play that re-
freshes the tired business man and
does not make him ill at ease if ac-
companied by his wife, sister, daugh-
ter or sweetheart. 1t is significant
that half a billion copies of the
"Pollyonna," stories have been sold
and the trade estimate is that every
book averages ten readers, the equiv
alent of a five million circulation.
For the past two seasons "Pollyanna,"
has had the positive endorsement of
all the larger eastern cities of the
United States. The organization is
now on it's way for its first visit to
the Pacific coast and intervening ter
ritory. 1t will be seen for the first
time in this city.
