SALT LAKE CHURCHES TP OPEN TOMORROW (Continued from Page One.) and hold services on and after December 8 and theaters and motion picture houses on and alter December 9." James P. Casey, chairman of the business busi-ness men's committee, said: "With the lifting of the influenza ban, the committee wishes to emphasize that this action by the city and state boards of health does not mean precautions should be relaxed by citizens of Salt Lake. Measures of protection and isolation isola-tion in case of sickness should be observed ob-served as they were during the most trying try-ing periods of the epidemic, and cases of influenza should be reported promptly. "The committee wishes to thank the members of the city and state boards of health for the manner in which they have handled the situation here and the zeal they have shown in protecting the public It hopes that the recommendations recommenda-tions which they have made to insure the surest possible safeguards against the disease will be followed as carefully as they have been in the past." Action similar to that taken by the Salt Lake citv and state health boards has been adopted in practically all of the larger cities of the country. In most of these instances, it was proved by tele grams and statistics from ttie cities themselves, introduced last night, that this was done when the death rate was Infinitely higher than now prevails in Salt Lake', and when the percentage of cases dally reported was much greater than here.. The boards recognized the fact that Salt Lake has been under the health ban longer than any other city in the country of which they have any actual Information. Informa-tion. There was no attempt at the meeting meet-ing to cover up the fact that contact is the prime factur in the spread of influenza. influ-enza. That the ban in Salt Lake might have been lifted several weeks earlier all admitted, had it not been for the victory celebration, and, later, many surreptitious sur-reptitious dinner parties and other assemblages as-semblages on Thanksgiving. The armistice armi-stice celebration, it was shown last night, i came just when the disease was well on the downward curve, and had it not been for the mass gatherings on that day. Salt Lake's death rale would have been much lower than the records now show. That Thanksgiving celebrations had an evil effect ef-fect was the subject of much discussion I by tho members of the joint boards, several sev-eral Instances being mentioned where family gatherings on Thanksgiving day had resulted In many of those participating partici-pating In the festive event being stricken with the malady. Masks Are Discussed. The question of more general use of Influenza masks was given some consideration consid-eration last night, but none of those participating par-ticipating in tiie deliberations expressed sentiments favorable to tho face covering. cover-ing. In fact, many messages from cities where the use of masks has been more or less mandatory in the past two or three weeks, tell of the abandonment of the scheme as useless, and, in some instances, in-stances, menacing. Des Moines according accord-ing to a message received by file state health-department, after two weeks" experimenting ex-perimenting with "flu" masks, yesler-dav yesler-dav rescinded the order, and the mask has been entirely abandoned in Los Angeles. An-geles. Indianapolis and Denver experienced experi-enced an increase of both the disease and deaths from influenza while the mask was being used in those places. Reports from Des Moines indiewte that deaths increased in-creased more than double in the fortnight's fort-night's enforced mask wearing. Speaking wilh respect to the ban lifting, lift-ing, as far as it concerns the institutions named in the resolutions. Dr. Samuel G. Paul, of the city health .department, urged the co-operation of individuals and the community at largo wUh the health hoards in the operation of measures for the control of the disease. Dr. Paul explained ex-plained that there now remains not a. shadow of doub,t concerning the recrudes-cent recrudes-cent nature of the disease, and strongly recommended most stringent observance by all individuals of ordinary and even extraordinary measures in combating tho disea se. "There must be no contact where it can he avoided, and fundamental principle? prin-ciple? must be employed even in the households in the suppression of the maladv." said Dr. Paul. He. declared that It would be a long time yet before the atmosphere would be cleared of the Influenza In-fluenza bacteria and that recurrence could be expected periodically. The gravity of these relapses, he stated, depended laruclv upon the people themselves. "The decision to open Salt 1 ,ake was based on the fundamental principle of controlling the disease, the operation of which brought down the mortal it- rate from seven tv-one deaths to thirty-six fatalities between the fifth and ninth weeks." paid Dr. T. B. Bentty. state health commissioner, last night. "A lower a vera so of mortality was sustained here than in any other large community. After the enidemic had reached its peak in the fifth week the activitv began to subside, provinc that the maladv had largelv been abated." Dr. ReaUv also pointed out that the public must he aroused to the necessity of rigid enfnrcpment of the quarantine if the. new order i.f thlncs Is to be permitted per-mitted to continue. -'Everyhodv expected ex-pected to fo-npe;a'o and do their pprt toward prnte-'tinfi: tbemsrives. their families fami-lies and their neighbors." he said. It is the plan of the health hoards to make the theaters a medium for i he education edu-cation of the people in health and precautionary pre-cautionary measures. At pv.-ry performance perform-ance conducted at the picture houe.-s. tiie vaudeville and stock, as well a? road show theaters, a local physician or other authorized person versed in hygiene and fundamental health measures will givu short talks on this topic. In addition, the. subject matter of many of the films will bo based upcyi community health. There will be no relaxation by the health authorities in the enforcement of health laws and regulations, according to Dr. Paul, who stales that no violations viola-tions will be tolerated, and that where any such violation is discovered rigid penalties will be enforced.

Rich of Ogden and Dr. Fred Stauffer of the state board of health. Seven deaths and H5 new cases of in- j fltienza summed up the epidemic situation situa-tion in Salt Dake last nieht when the reports re-ports reaching the city health office had been compiled. The death list included Abraham Weiss, aged years; Hazel May Waite, 27; .hiiTies A. Raines. 3D; William H. SmltJi, 2; Gerald Gouty, !'; Mrs. Annie Sims Jones, OS, and Frances K. Jenncpen, 70.

One thousand, eight hundred and sixty persons were treated yesterday, as compared with 1365 on Thursday. Treatments Treat-ments given at the Emorgency hospital numbered fit 5, while the other stations reported a total of 121o. No relaxation of tho quarantine regulations regu-lations will be permitted by the health officers, according to a Statement from the city health office last ninht, and the inspectors are being kept busyu in the hunt for alleged violators. Conditions throughout the state are said to be steadily improving, except in spots.
