Show RETURN THE $5 FINES. Young ladies who were haled into court and made to pay fines of ?5 each, and a hard-working woman who was fined $10, for failing to adjust their masks to their faces, should have their fines remitted, as the head of the state board of health, in his statement in Ogden yesterday, proved that, in floundering around, neither he nor his advisers know what they are doing and the public is being blindly led and very mucn coniusea. At the opening of tho campaign against influenza, Dr. Beatty advised the wearing of masks. Then the moment mo-ment an order was issued making the wearing compulsory, he appears on the scene and declares it all a mistake. Those caught between the changing shifts of the mind of the health board should not be made to look foolish simply because they cannot keep up with the mental somersaults which are being performed. oo |
