Fred C. Moor, local health officer, Dr. Byrd made a thorough investigation of the situation, and seemed very much astonished that any Special uneasiness should exist among our citizens.

Dr.

Bvrd further advised that the schools should' prpceed with their work. and that diacuHsion oi trie disease biiouiu discouraged among teachers and pu pils, and that public thought should be drawn away to more healthful and profitable subjects.
