News dispatches from all parts OF
the east and the central west relate
tkat the most widely prevalent epi-
dcnic of Ia grippe" ever known in

sections. Furthermore, the type OF
grip is accompanied by such high
death rates that the health authorities

of the disease. Every possible means
is being Gtilized by those In charge o.
the anti-gr;p campaign to bring to the
pubIic's attention the fact that grip
once contracted is not durable by any
medicine. brt the most effective means
of stamping it cut is to use precau~
tionary measures against its introduc
ton and spread in a community
Inquiry made here as TO local con-
d -tiOns shows that at this time there
is no grip epidemic her. Several
physicians state that there is less grip
here now than was the case at this
time las1 winter. Bad colds such as

One doctor gave it as his opinion
that before the winter has passed grip

ported in many cities near here, with

common means of transferring the dis
ease from place to place is by travel
ell moving from infected places into
new territory. They take the grip
germs along with them, and once r.
gets a start It spreads with alarming
rapidity.
The following little verse is being
used to convey warning to those h;.
ing a bad cold:
