Jh Thanks to the careless on the part of some of the people of this city the influenza has increased very rapidly of late m both Provo and nearby sections. Drastic measures had been taken to wipe out the disease and Provo was practically free of it: "Then came a new waverand because the town --was not shut up tight, too many of oUr people, and even one or two efjour physicians imposed on the people, by failing to give proper notice 'of the appearance" of the disease in their homes. ' The result is apparent m Wp cannot seethe advantages of closing : the city and turning1 the children loose to run at will on the" streets ' while their parents spend the time iA visiting their friends and neighbors to discuss the awful conditions ronfront ing us. Only Sunday the writerhad occasion to visit several parts of the city and observe the way some of those quarantined .were obeying the law. On one home there was a quarantine sign "near the front 'door "and at the same time were romping and playing on the front lawn. Five others were within fifty yards of the house and headed in that direction- - 'Abont half that number could be found on an- .other fawn while the home was quarantined- In several places in and near ProvoVch ildren could be"seen In groups aromuU quarantined homes and no particular attention was paid to them. We believe that the epiedmic ean he. stamped out. without closing up the town' But, to stamp it out. it may le necessary to organize a patrol to force those who are careless to obey tW quarantine strictly yor ahould a physician who wilfully fails to report cases be allowed to continue the practice and, escape punishment- - We have laws on our ordinance books zo protect the people generally and enforcement of them will prove more efficient than any elosing down prder that could time. .
