The Grippe

Douglas Island is putting on airs. Just like the cities of the States, we have the Grippe. The Douglas school is depleted; the attendance being re- duced to very small per cent of the enrolment. The St. Ann Hospital is full, and the Standing Room Only" sign is out. The doctors are on the run, and new patients bob up at every turn. The grippe has taken hold of us and we are struggling with the aid of quinine and whiskey to get ourselves we'll.
 Among the victims are Mayor Stub bins and his good wife, Miss Moone, Mrs. Coster, Mrs. Arditte, Hazel Clark, lone Mcdonald, Mildred Erickson, Eli Bielich and wife, Jerry Cashens children, Ellery Norriss, Mark Tatum, Jennie Russell, Oskar Larson, Edwin Fox, Allie Bach, Francis and Isabel Coggins, John Lundquist, Grant Kim merling, Charlie Kimmerling, Julia and Anna Early, Sc. Sc.
 Never before in the history of the Island has there been time when men continued at their post of duty, under such difficulties.
 The grippe has got us and may the good Lord deliver us.
