MAY LIFT FLU BAN next
MONDAY SAYS DOCTOR

The ban placed on Spanish in
1uenza may be lifted, partially al
least, next Monday, November 4. This
is the statement of DR.. G. j. Habheg-
ger, health commissioner, but action
along these lines will depend of course
on the. conditions in the city at that
time. At present there are only a few
cases at the hospi tai and only few
are being reported daily to the health
department.
OF course many people are anxious
that the lid be removed. Church heads
and movie managers are awaiting the
lifting of the ban, but of course are
willing to await such time when 1t
can be done safely
DR.. Habhegger is of the opinion that
the ban will be partially lifted Mon
day if conditions do not grow worse
and may be lifted entirely if conditions
change for the better
The state board of health in a re-
cent circular among other things
says:
The danger from a recurrence of the
epidemic is not passed, and, therefore,
the people should exercise every rea-
sonable precaution in safeguarding
their health during the next few
months. These precautionary meas
ures are especially applicable to 10
calities in which the disease has not
appeared to any considerable extent
as we'll as to localities in which the
disease has. been extremely prevalent.
The raising of the ban does not
mean that the danger is passed. It
means, however, that there has
been marked cessation in the spread
of the disease. Carelessness on the
part of the municipality could easily
produce a recurrence as has been the
experience in some lOcaliti es in the
east. The holding of non-essential
public meetings should be postponed
for several weeks. Persons recently
afflicted with influenza Ola grippe)
may possibly be carriers and should
not frequent public places for
number of weeks.
1t is further recommended that the
local health authorities cooperate
with the school boards to the extent
that teachers and pupils who are suf-
fering from the symptoms of a cold,
coughing and sneezing considerably
should be prevented from attending
school. Also it is hoped that the
clergy OF the state will continue to
cooperate with the various health
authorities and admonish their par
1shioners not to attend church or Sun
day school while afflicted with a Sc
we're cold or influenza Ga gripee).
1t is also deemed advisable that the
local health authorities should COM
municate with the various theatrical
managers under their respective jur-
lsdiction and authorize them by deput-
ling them if necessary, to prohibit
the attendance at the theatres, moving
picture shows, etc., of individuals
afflicted with, a hard cold, cough or
frequent sneezing Also it is deemed
advisable that there be periods of in
PERMISSION in the moving picture
houses of a few minutes during which
time the building can be well ventil-
ated between shows.

More Sugar

The sugar allowance of two pounds
monthly person for hOusehOlders
was increased to three pounds month
ly on Thursday by Food Administrat-
or Hoover, effective today.
The sugar regulations also are re-
yised to permit the purchase of the
entire months supply for a family at
one time.
This relaxation of the restrictions
placed on the use Of sugar four
months ago was made possible, Mr..
Hoover's statement said, through the
rapid manufacture of the beet sugar
crop in the west, the new cane crop
in the south, reductions of cOnsump-
ton in manufacture, freer transpOrta-
ton conditions, and patriotic cOnserv-
alton by the public.

Retailers Attention

All dealers in foods must mark ev
cry article shown in the Fair Price
List of the County Food Administrator
which they display for sale, in plain
figures large enough so that the figure
can be read by the customer stand
ing at the counter, so that the GUS
toner will know the price of such ar
ticle of food before the same is taken
from the shelf, showcase or other con-
tainer Where there are a number OF
articles of food Of the same kind,
price and brand displayed together
on a shelf or in a showcase, one price
card placed near the center of such
display is sufficient for the entire
display Food in containers can be
marked by a card on the outside of
the container.
In the case of meat markets which
have the glass display cases, it is per-
missible to mark the price on the
glass case opposite the tray contain
ing the meats with whiting or some
other manner so that the price shah
be plain and there can be no mistake
as to what article the price refers.
Where articles are sold from the
bulk, the price taken should clearly
show what unit the price is for as in
case Of potatoes, lone dollar per
bushel," eggs, $50 cents per Dozen"
sugar, III cents per pound" etc.

Private Edward Riedemann, Son OF
Mr.. and Mrs. GOttfried Riedemann,
SuccumbS To PneumOnia-Let-
ter Sent To Parents.

The death Of Private Edward RE
demann at Winchester, England, is
announced in a letter received from
Capt. w. B. Belknap, A. r. G. Death
was due to pneumonia following an
attack of influenza. He was born in
WATERFOWL, the son of Mr.. and Mrs.
GOttfried Riedemann, 1900 Utah street,
March Z, 1891, and resided here until
the call for overseas service came. He
is survived by his parents, six sisters
and one brother: Mrs. Otto Luther,
William Riedemann, Watertown, Mrs.
William Track, Mrs. Anton Kruger,
Mrs. August Bahr, Mrs. Carl Wendt,
Milwaukee, Mrs. Laura Siegrist, Wau-
kesha. The letter follows:
Romsey Hants, England.
October 4, 1918
Mr.. Godfried Riedemann,
WatertoWn, Wis, U. S. A.
My dear Mr. Riedemann: You have
undoubtedly been notified by the gov
eminent Of the death of your son, Ed
ward Riedemann. l had the opportun-
ity of seeing him several times before
he died. He was very ill when | saw
him, and was not in condition to
care to talk much, and as it seemed
to increase his suffering to talk, l did
not urge him to do so. | simply asked
him if he was being well taken care
of, both by doctors and nurses land if
he had everything he wanted. He said
they were giving him the best of
treatment, and there was nothing
could do for him. | asked him if
could write home for him, but he did
not want to scare. you by having me
write that he was sick l saw him
shortly before he passed away, but
he was then unconscious. Previous to
this, however, l had asked a clergy
man to see him, in order that he might
die at peace with the world. This was
done, so that your mind may be at
rest on that point.
He was brave, accomplishing pa
tient, and died as much for his coun-
try as if he had died on the battle
field. You must look on him always as
a hero who has made the supreme sac
rifice. can assure you that the Amer
lean doctors and American nurses
in our American hospital gave him the
best of care. He was a victim
of pneumonia, following on the heels
of influenza. He will be laid to rest in
the cemetery at Winchester, England,
along with the other American boys
who have so nObly given up their
lives for their country. His funeral
will be properly arranged, and will be
attended by the Red Cross representa-
tive at Winchester, to see that he is
as well laid away as if you were there
to superintend the funeral yourself
He will be buried with all military
honors. The hospital at which he died
was No. "a, Camp Hospital, Romsey,
which is fine brick building, erected
by the American Red Cross, or rather
| should say, by the men of the Amer
lean army, the Red Cross furnishing
the materials. 1t was completed just
in time to take your boy in, and you
will have the satisfaction of knowing
that he was as we'll looked after as
you could ask. 1t will be a great grief
to you to have lost him, but you will
always be proud to know that he died
for his country.
Yours very truly,
Capt. w. B. Belknap.
