!States and in all probability the
■epidemic will reach all of the
States. The disease is apparently
jof a very mild character. But as
j's usually the case in mild influenza
I epidemics, a small persentage of
I jcases develop pneumonia, some oi
jwhich teiminate fatally. There is
also o possibility that the disease
may become virulent as it progress
es and result in a large number of
serious and fatal cases.
Altho influenza has been a sub
ject of careful research in .recent
vears, the cause is not definitely
known and no successful measure
of control has been found. Vacci
nation. medicines, quarantine and
other similar measures have little,
if any practical value. Until the
true nature of the disease is more
definitely understood little progress
>n its control can be expected.
Influenza is spread from person
to person thru the secretions of the
nose and mouth Sneezing, cough
ing, promiscous spitting and other
practices that broadcast the secre
tions are a menace to health. It
j may also be transmitted thru cups, j
glasses, forks, spoons and other
ihin'-els not properly cleansed and
sterallzcd, this applies more partic
ularly to public eating places.
The public can very definitely
safeguard '.heir own health and
protect others by observing the sim
nle laws of health and hygiene. In
fluenza is one of those epidemic
diseases in which universal interest
and cc operation is the most effec
tive means of control. There at >
certam health habits that should
be cultivated and practiced contin- i
uousiy, but more particularly during .
an influenza epidemic.
(1) Selection of the right kind
end variety of foods to insure a
diet containing all the necessary
’'.’famines, as well as the chemical !
and minera1 elements. Foods have |
a very definite and positive relation 1
to health and resistance to disease. !
the public should learn how to se- ! j
’ect the right foods. !
(2) Long hours of restful sleep,
preferably in a cool or cold room
with plenty of outdoor air. Suffi
cient sleep is one of the best pre
ventives and most effective restor
ers known to madical science.
<3j The temperature in the home,
schoolroom, workshop and office
should be kept cool. It should be
maintained preferably at 68 degrees !
p- Scientific experiments have in- I
dicated this as the safest tempera
ture to live in. Why not observe it?
(4l Dress should be moderately
jvaim determined by the tempera
ure to which the worker is exposed,
bight dress is better for indoor em- <
iloyment where the rooms are jj
seated then heavv dress.
(5) A thorough washing of the
lands before eating, using plenty
)f soan and water. One health
’.ommissioner has designated influ
mza a;; “a hand to mouth" disease
—meaning that the infection
carried into the mouth by means of
soiled hands. While it is not the
rnly way in which the disease is
spread, it is a very common one.
(6) Plenty of outdoor life ana
hoderate exercise.
(7) Avoid public gatherings and
■rowds as much as possible.

(S) Climate has apparently no
influence on the spread or virulence
(°f influenza. A cold climate is as
healthful and as safe as a warm
idimate. Home is the place. Un
jnecessary traveling should be avoid
ed.
(19) People sick with influenza or
who have contracted a severe cola
d urine an influenza epidemic
should go to bed and stay there un
til they have completely recovered.
A largj majority of fatal cases even
in mild epidemics result from fail
ure lo observe this very simple rule,
