In re sponse to hundreds of telegrams from medical men throughout the country today. Dr. George F. Baer, of the Homeopathic Hospital staff, this afternoon made public the formula of his discovery an nounced yesterday of a cure and preventive for Spanish influenza. The treatment, he said, is a hypodermic injection of a sterile solution representing 1.54 grams of. iodine in chemical combination with creosote and guaiacol. In experiments conducted here since the outbreak of influenza. Dr. Baker said, patients in acute stages of tho disease have been made well in a few days, while in one case the employes of a bank were inoculated with the solution and. although exposed to influ enza, failed to contract the disease. Stricter compliance with the order banning 'public gatherings was urged by Mayor Baker yesterday, when more than 50 new cases of Spanish influenza were reported to the City Health Bu reau, bringing the total known cases well above 200. A very small per centage of the cases were noted as dangerous and health officials still were optimistic over Portland's chances of avoiding a serious epidemic. While most of tho theater-owners, school heads, organization heads, bil liard hall proprietors and others af fected by the order were complying strictly with the spirit of the closed town, a few complaints came in that stores had given undue publicity to ales. resulting in gathering of hun dreds of bargain seekers in violation of the spirit of the order. Mayor Iasues Appeal. In view of these facts and general misunderstanding of tho application of the order, the Mayor issued an appeal urging strict compliance so that the ban soon may be lifted. The appeal follows: "To the Public: "I wish to take this means of ap pealing to the public throughout the city to co-operate to the limit in the closing order imposed upon Portland by the State Board of Health acting under instructions from the United States Public Health Service. Instances have reached my attention of failure on the part of certain persons or in stitutions to heed the order and in fractions of this sort not only are un fair to. those public spirited people wno are complying with the order re Cardies of sacrifice, but are direct violations of law. It is gratifying to note that the great majority of the people realize the situation and are willing to go the limit in co-operating. Police May Make Arrests. "The closing order was Issued only after the most thorough investigation and consideration, and its purpose is to curb an extremely virulent and dan gerous disease which is sweeping thu country. Compliance should be con curred in -willingly and universally for the safety of the city. Where infrac tions occur it becomes the duty of the police to interfere, and, if necessary, to make arrests. Orders to this effect have been given and will be carried cut.. Compliance on everybody's part will be the means of raising the ban just that much sooner." Special attractions in stores were formally ordered discontinued yester day. Patrolman I-illis visited all the downtown stores and notified them of the ban. The policeman reported to Captain Moore that the store managers had as siired him of their co-operation, prom ising to wash the mouthpieces' of tele phones with antiseptic solutions, and scrub elevator pits carefully.

All theaters and other places where crowds were wont to gather remained closed, in accordance with the Mayor's proclamation, and no one would ven ture a guess as to how long the order nflght be In effect. Mayor Baker yes terday emphasised the need for greater diligence on the part of the public, showing the need for eliminating such gatherings of people as are now occur ring. This appeal was made to people themselves, rather than to those in charge of places where the crowds have assembled In tho course of the day's trading. Crowds An Smaller. Streetcar traffic was somewhat heavier yesterday than on Friday even ing, but at that was far helow the normal business for Saturday. Iast night's crowds were little larger than those of Friday evening, while the darkness prevalent on corners where familiar theater signs previously cast their colors Into the Illumination of the "great white way" was rather dis concerting.

It is to introduce a softness and warmth in place of the atmosphere which has so long prevailed. This firm was one of the first to conceive such an ideal. Our beautiful chapel, with its adjoining rooms for family and friends, is fast becoming accepted as "A Better Way" of conducting the service. There is no charge for the use of our chapel. The cost of a service rests entirely to your judgment. And no one can, or does give more. J. P. Finley & Son Progressive Funeral Directors. Montgomery at Fifth.
