The remedy is to have the eyes correctly fitted with classes, and Naturopathy makes use of this method of treating disease. Dr. F. W.

For more than ten weeks the auth orities have been confronted with a demand for rigid enforcement of the closing order to prevent the spread of the epidemic and the newspapers have lent their influence in warning the pop ulaco against carelessness. On the oth er hand there are scores of business houses that have seen people tightened away from Salem, business stagnated, and big deficits rolling up week tfter week. No person not in business can obtain any adequate idea of the per manent loss tjat has been caused through this situation. There are busi ness firms here who have lost from $20 to 50 a day throughout this siege.. Not only has loss been caused directly by sickness and death; the worst phase of the situation is that hundreds of people have kept away from Salem with the misguided idea, that they were more liable to contract the disease by coming here than they would by going else where. It is not to be wondered at that there has grown up a loud demand from the business interests that- the restrictions upon business be removed and that they be more rigidly enforced upon influenza victims in ell stages of the disease. There are many substantial business men who bave maintained that if there had been more drastic enforcement of quarantine regulations the public insti tutions of the city might heve been kept in operation, under certain restric tions. For these reasons much interest cen tered upon the conference between, the local authorities and Dr. Sceley at the high school building this morning. This meeting was attended by teachers, physicians, representatives of the uni versity faculty and of the business cot lego to whom Dr. Seeley made a care ful survey of the situation and gave a very suggestive talk as to tho best mothods of dealing with the epidemic. But contrary to general expectations, Dr. Sceley made no suggestions or rec ommendations as to immediate lifting of the ban, however much hcoiB-y be in sympathy with the business interests. It has been generally assumed that this meeting would pave the way for an immediate opening of the town, but it would appear that the medical fratern ity of the city were decidedly opposed to any such cction. As the initiative and power to act has been conferred upon the board of health and tho com mittee of physicians associated with them, it appears that they hold the key to the situation in their hands. It re quires no prophot to foresee a vigorous protest from the business interests un less there is some promise of immediate relief from tho present conditions.
