TIN CANS AND SHOES
CAN'T Be D|GESTED
Board of Health Calls Attention
to Difficulties in Disposing Of
Garbage.

The placing of old shoes, tip cans and
other rubbish in the garabge has caused
trouble at the big disposal plant along
Marsh road The matter WAS called up
in meeting of the Board of Health yester-
day and the public was requested to be
careful to keep all foreign substances
out of their garbage cans.
An agent of the isposal plant people
informed the board that the powerful
digesters at the place cannot render such
things as have been mixed In with the
refuse.
The bed of Marsh road has been strewn
with garbage according to a complaint
, from the Street and Sewer Department
The Street and Sewer Commissioners
requested prompt action to break up the
practice, and to that end the members
of the board will make an inspection OF
the road this afternoon. The disposal
plant and vicinity will also be inspected
by the board while they are about IT.
Complaints have come from the vicinity
of Ninth and Woodlawn to the effect that
residents around there have been using
the streets as if they were sewers. Con-
ditions around there were declared TO be
a menace TO the public health. The
board also decided to add this place to
its itinerary.
The board was asked by c. W. Wenzing,
of the Liberty Land Company, to see that
the city ash collectors do their work IN q
more thorough manner. The street,
around Union Park Gardens are IN bad
shape, according TO this source. The IN
spectors were finally charged with re-
sponsbility for this IL was pointed out
it is their duty to see that collections arr
made with care. The Street and Sewel
Department and also the police are to b'

Influenza took decided drop In
Washington yesterday. A" total of
30 cases were reported to the Dis
trict Health Department compared
with the s23 cases the day before.
II the good weather continues
Health Oficer William C. Fowler ex-
poets a general decrease in the num-
ber of influenza cases in the next
few days. He is unable to account for
the sudden jump taken by the epi-
demic Tuesday.
A large number of the cases re-
ported to the health department yes
terday were received from the Gov
eminent Hospital for the Insane.
DIR. Fowler emphasized last night
that few school children are affet Ted
with the disease. He denied reports
that the epidemic is playing havoc
with the local schools and declared
that il a large number of children
are confined to their homes from sick
ness it could not be attributed to in
fiuenza.
II believe there are three reasons
for the absence of several thousand
school children from their classes,
as reported" declared DIR. Fowler.
First. the recent bad weather has
prevented many OF the younger pupils
from attending school; second. many
of the children are no doubt afflicted
with colds, which has resulted In their
being sent home. and last OF all,
ma jority of children have been kept
in their homes by parents who are
afraid they will catch the influenza"
