SIMPLE PRECAUTIONS


 "Wherever successive cases occur in the same home and in the vast major ity of cases, where more than one per son is sick with the disease in the same house. there is every reason to believe that the simple precautionary measures so often and repeatedly urged in every conceivable way have not been observed It is obviously impos- sible for any public health force to cope with such rapidly spreading dis ease by house to house visits for the purpose of applying individual quar- antine
 From one large city comes the word that control of the disease, if 1t may be said, to have been controlled has been largely accomplished by sole de- pendents upon cooperation of the poo pie and an intelligent response to pre- cautionary measures suggested by tho department of health
 We again urge with all sincerity and emphasize that the simple gauze mask be adopted as routine In all homes where the disease is present and by all persons so situated as to be unusually exposed to the public. It is generally. acknowledged that crowde ] cars are a great source of spread, and all travel on streets cars should be limited to absolute necessities and all persons should wear race coverings while riding on the cars. Hospitals and all places where considerable num- bers of people are employed should rigidly enforce the wearing of these masks Mothers are requested to pro- vide every school child with mask and teachers will see that 1t Is worn during school hours
 Much interest is being manifested by children In the suggestion that they wear masks. and hundreds called at the health office today for them. Only limited number will be available each day, and we were compelled to turn them away with a request to their mothers to make the masks at home. These masks to be effective, should consist of not less than six layers of cheese cloth. three by five inches Ill diameter for a child and four by siy inches for an adult. with tape to hold them in place. One yard of gauge of ordinary width should make six masks.

FAILURE ID OBSERVE. PRECAUTIONS CAUSE INFLUENZA SPREAD Dr. Bowling Says Outbreak Reached Height Several
 Days Ago CONTROL OF DISEASE DEPENDS ON PEOPLE Wearing of Gauge Mask Is Again Emphasized, Especially in Places
 of Public Assemblies and
 at Sick Homes

There is every reason to believe the renewed outbreak of influenza in the city reached it's height several days ago, according to information received by Dr. Bowling, health officer, who states that while there has been no disposition on the part of the health department to minimize or conceal the increase of the disease, it has mentioned all along that the later cases were of milder type than the first epidemic and that the rate of mortality is lower in proportion.
 Cooperation of the people with the health department and an intelligent re- sponse to precautionary measures sug- gested will help matters greatly, states Dr. Bowling. There were 1SS cases Of influenza reported to the health depart ment yesterday and 12 burial permits is- sued
 The statement of pr. Bowling follows:
 DIR. DOWLING'S STATEMENT
 From the information at hand there Is every reason to believe that the re- newed outbreak of influenza in this com munity reached it's height several days ago. The outbreak seemed to come with explosive force within the few days fol-  has been the case in most other cities
 There has been no disposition to min imize or conceal the fact that there had been a sudden increase in the spread of the disease, but the department of health has maintained all along that all indications denoted that the later cases were milder in type and that the nor talty was lower in proportion to the number of cases than had been the ex- perience during the first part of the epi- donnie. similar opinion Is contained in telegraphc advices from several oth- CT large cities.
 Considering the factors involved in the transmission of the disease from one person to another every indication points to the conclusion that the greatest spread occurs in the home. In many instances the damage is done before 1t is realized that the disease Is present and before a physician is called in. In others the disease spreads by gradual process from one member of the family to another as a result of failure to observe pre- cautionary measures suggested by the physician. This opinion Is based upon sound reasoning following epidemilogicai study as well as the opinion of numer- ous physicians accustomed to attending large number of cases. Therefore, as in most communicable diseases meas- ures directed toward the control and pre- vention of spread in order to be effective must be applied at the point of known contact of well persons with those sick.
