"Continue the fight which has been started and Portland will rid itself of the disease." Visitors are still prohibited from hos pitals, this rule having been, enacted to prevent the spread by carriers who entered the hospital for visiting pur poses. Other rules also will remain in force until the epidemic is wiped out. Doctor Reported Negligent. The report comes that some physi cians are failing in reporting cases. A staff of physicians is on duty in the city health office for the purpose of checking on all cases, and if any deaths result from unreported influenza cases, physicians will find themselves facing grave charges. Complaint also is made that physi cians are careless in writing their re ports, and as a result. Dr. Sommer slates that there is a large numTTSr of houses in whicii no cases of influenza have been quarantined. Such careless ness, he states, results in confusion and waste of time,. when all help available Is needed. Graduating Exercise) Later.
