The council issued orders to Chief of Police Thomas E. Brown to notify all saloon keepers that they their places of business, and that fail- ure to comply with the notice will re- sult in the immediate closing of such saloons, until the prevailing epidemic is passed. The council issued orders to proprietors of soda fountains to im- mediately discontinue the use of those fountains during the continuance of the epidemic. Under these conditions the seller of whiskey and beer may continue the sale of intoxicating drinks, but the dispensers of non-in- ‘oxicants must go out of business temporarily. People are permitted to zo into a saloon, get a drink and get cut, but are not permitted to get a drink at a soda fountain, not even in a drug store where the strictest sani- tation prevails, as accessory to the modern soda water fountain.
