USE OF GAUZE MASKS
STOPS FLU" EPIDEMIC

ATLANTA-On account of the
wonderfully efficient results achieved
at Camp Gordon in combating
Spanish influenza, the medical officers
at the Camp are strongly urging the
people of Atlanta to adopt the general
use of gauze masks. They suggest
that men wear the masks and wo-
men wear heavy wool or silk wells.
as soon as the disease made its ap-
pearance at Camp Gordon, every man
there was ordered to put on a gauze
mask. They made a very peculiar
spectacle few days ago at a great
divisional review, with their mouths
and noses covered. But the masks
have done the work, coupled with
other preventive measures.
At the present time there are less
than 1000 cases of influenza at the
camp, the number having dropped
from 1000 within week. Only so
new cases were reported yesterday.
The death rate has been remarkably
low. In addition to wearing gas
masks, the men have slept out OF
doors, thanks to a continued success
ion of clear days and nights. The
floors of the barracks have been
washed down every day. The roads
in the camp have been oiled to keep
down the dust. Men developing the
disease have been isolated immediate
ly.
Early closing of schools, churches
and theaters in Atlanta has apparent
ly put crimp in the epidemic here
before it got started. The disease is
characteristic for the short duration
of its stay in "a community. 1t comes
suddenly, spreads with alarming ra-
pidity if not checked, and then is gone
like the wind that brings it.
Reports from all sections of the
state received at the state health de-
partment are likewise encouraging
