under the circumstances"
 Dr. Brown said that the influenza bacteria is carried only through dis charges from the nose and throat of the person infected, and that the germ does not float around in the air. Tt is entirely crowd disease, and therefor anything connected with close com munication is dangerous" said the health officer. It can also be com- municated through the use of the common drinking cup and towel, and also by putting your fingers in your mouth. Keep your hands away from your face, unless you have just wash ed them with soap and water. AL ways wash your hands after they have come in contact with doorknobs, trolley seats, etc. The situation is ser lous, but if every person would fol- low strict rules in taking care of themselves, and also in protecting others, a rapid decline would be mo- ticed, and they could feel justly re- sponsible for having aided materially in checking the epidemic"
 The police department will, in ac- cordance with a request of the Board of Health, rigidly enforce the anti splitting ordnance. Offenders will be arrested and fined.
 One of the warnings issued by Dr. Brown today in connection with public splitting, was that people who are forced to do this should obtain small paper napkins to receive the discharge rather than use their handkerchiefs especially if they send their washing ] to a public laundry.
 It is expected that Bridgeport will receive some of the vaccine with which to inocculate patients recently used with decided success in Massa chusetts. Dr. Brown said that 8
 quantity had been allotted to Con- necticut but that he did not know just | when it would arrive in this city.

The campaign for additional nurses to care for the i'll at the Isolation hos pital at Hillside and to go into private homes, continued today. The Health Department and the Red Cross are making strenuous efforts to secure both male and female attendants and 1t was announced that trained and un- trained people should feel no timidity about volunteering for the work, as they would be no more danger of contracting the malady than by rid ing in cars or walking on the streets. There was slight response to the ap- peal for nurses yesterday, but there is still need for great many more At the present time, 42 people are confined to the Isolation hospital, and the present nursing staff is working day and night in two shifts.
 Health Officer Dr. Walter H. Brown said today that as far as he could see there would be no closing of eith- CT the schools or the theaters in Bridgeport. He repeated his state ment of earlier in the week, that the spread of the epidemic could be bet ter combatted. by educating the peo- pie to personal control through the theatres and press, than a blanket shutdown.
 "The warning that has now reached | thousands must reach every person i1 | the city," said pr. Brown. Namely, it is to exercise all the rules of per sonal hygiene. Keep your hands and l body clean. Don't spit on the Hreets, don't cough and don't sneeze. Of course it is only natural that some people will have to do these things. If every cough and sneeze is covered
 and the obnoxious habit of splitting is stopped, much will be done toward the control of the epidemic. Avoid crowds and observe these rules at all times
 and you will be as safe as possible
