No Change in the
Influenza Situation

There were twenty-four new cases
OF influenza in Canon City and its Inn
mediate environs on Tuesday. accord
ing to reports made to DIR. E. c. Webb.
city health officer. This is the largest
number reported in any one day since
the outbreak Of the epidemic here and
brings the total number of cases of
the disease in this community during
the last two weeks up to 22e Four of
Tuesdays victims OF the contagion
have developed pneumonia,
Physicians here refuse to make any
predictions how long the disease will
run. or whether 1t has reached its eli
max or not, but incline to the opinion
that it win not last a great while. The
large number of new cases during the
last 4s hours would seem to indicate
that the crest of the disease wave has
not been reached so far as Canon City
is concerned. 1t appears to have
passed is zenith in some parts of the
state and may begin a decline here
shortly. The general belief is that
when the ebb begins its subsistence
will be rapid.
Acting under instructions from the
city council DIR. Webb. as public health
officer has employed a professional
nurse to assist the city authorities In
caring for the sick. Mrs. Branden has
been secured for this work.
While very few deaths have occurred
in this community as a result OF the
visitation OF the influenza In good
many instances pneumonia has de-
veloped and the most serious conse-
quences have been threatened. Prob
ably Is per cent of all cases OF the dis
ease have run into pneumonia. The
physicians are working day and night
to check the ravages OF the contagion
and ask the cooperation of the public
In their undertaking. This can best
be done by following the instructions of
the authorities in relation TO keeping
away from crowds. in cleanliness and
in a careful observance of the ordin-
airy rules OF health. t..fg
