Up to the Individual

The above dispatch to The Star from Washing
ton today, carrying the from Surgeon Gen.
Blue that another widespread epidemic of influenza
is impossible, will come good news to Seattle,
where recurrence of the epidemic has been feared.
The flu in its former virulent form will not
back. However, this does not that the danger
is 1t does mean, however, that fighting the
flu is no longer largely municipal proposition. 1t
means that the individual must protect himself The
city health department and will quarantine in
dvidual cases but the form of flu with
not be stamped out by any general closing order
AS Surgeon Gen. Blue points out the original
epidemic skipped certain little pockets in various
places. In these places the flu is recurring, and
so long people travel, long as the communca-
ton among cities continues the flu will spread
sporadically
The coming of winter weather will also cause
cases of Colds and ordinary influenza.
1t is therefore up to the individual family to
protect itself against the flu. Health Commissioner
Mcbride of Seattle also makes this plain in inter-
view today. From time to time complete instructions
and safeguards have been printed Tomorrow The
Star will print list of precautions that the indi-
vidua should observe
