more than 10000 cases Of grip in Des
Moines, the worst epidemic of it's kind
that has ever visited the city. Physi-
clans are laboring overtime. drug
stores are doing a tremendous business
and nearly everybody is either in
bed or sneezing.
sneezes emitted in crowds is the warn
ment which urges people to remain
away from all public gatherings until
the epidemic is over.
One little sneeze by a grip victim
sends into the air thousands of little
grip germs which filter about anx-
iously awaiting to be inhaled by an
unsuspecting victim who the next day
complains Of headache, chills and
other grip symptoms.
The grip situation over the state is
little improved. according to the state
health department. Since DR.. Sumner,
chairman Of the board. declared few
days ago that one third of Iowa hao
the grip reports from half a dozen
cities and towns indicate that there
was grain of truth in the doctors
estimate.
Conservative estimates by state
health officials place the number Of
Iowa grip victims at 100000. There is,
however, no way OF determining the
exact number of sufferers from the
ailment
