insurance covered only about one.third

He was a property owner and some
time ago rented place to a couple on

tons on which he rented the property
was that there should be no children.

could be terminated.
He stated to the district attorney that
he had been informed that bia renters
shortly expected nm increase in their

short. what remedy he could have to
prevent his property being taken pos

He WAS informed that the case was
very difficult of solution. There seemed
to be only one remedy, and that was to
apply to the court for an injunction
against the lady to prhibit her from in

Report on the ..t;rip.v

1t is about four years since the cpl
demic influenza began its rs~ages in
this country, having been originally
imported from Europe; and, having
become domiciled, it has now entered
upon it's fifth season of mischief in the
United States, although, not with the
same severity that has characterized
its previous prevalence.
An official report on this malady by
medical officials connected with the
Local Government Board of Great
Britain has recently made it's appear
ance. Therein the existence of an in
fluenza bacillus is reaflirmed Doctor
Klein says that this microbe sis al.
ways abundantly present in the bron-
chial secretions of PATIENTS" and ''di-
minish in number as the disease IS
abated The germs are disseminated,
according to Doctor Parsons, by bring
ing the affected and healthy together,
as in public vehicles and places of
meeting, and especially by the poison
being present in confined and vitiated
air. Doctor Caldwell Smith says: ."An
individual is affected by breathing at
once the expired air from person
suffering from the disease, and ] be-
lieve this to be the only method of in
fection." Numerous stories are told
to show how the malady is carried
from place to place. A music teacher
visited two relatives who were victims
of it, and three days later was himself
attacked. However, he made round
of his pupils before succumbing, and
two days afterward ten of them also
developed the disease. The ordinary
intercourse of a household or business
Office, letters written and sealed by
sufferers, lingering account books
whose leaves have been turned with
moistened finger tips by affected per-
sons, and riding in close and crowded
railway cars, are among the most com
mon methods of propagation,
Isolation of patients, disinfection of
rooms, and ample ventilation are
strongly urged as preventive measures.
At Brighton the inmates of the borough
sanatorium were protected effectually
by such precautions as these for two
successive seasons, and during third
season the only case was that of SER
want returning from a distant place
where the disease was prevalent. When
she fell i'll she was promptly isolated,
and thus no one else was affected. -
