FRESH AIR IS
INFLUENZA CURE
Doctors Say No Cause For
Alarm Here; It's Just Old
Mr.. Grippe.

Considerable disquiet has been
manifested regarding the spread To-
caUy. OF socaued Spanish influen-
"a" Physicians report that their
patients and the local public gen
orally are highly wrought up and
they deprecate the hysterical ideas
now obtaining increasing prevail
cnce.
d W. L. Brown. chairman Of FL
Paso chapter Red Cross, said Tues
day there is no such thing. specifi-
cauy as Spanish influenza The
term" said Dr. Brown, evidently
was coined because the first case
brought TO this country was OF
Spanish origin What we have IN
army and civilian life is an epidemic
Of Ia grippe, now raging all over
the country. as il did in 1899. It
is more confined TO military camps
and organizations on account OF the
confined conditions surrounding SOL
diers' lives. but is nearly as preva-
lent in civil life"
Live In Fresh Air.
According TO Dr. Brown. influenza
or grippe, is an impure air disease
People should live in the fresh air
as much as possible. He does not
think FL Paso suffers more at this
time than annually in fall and win
ter and believes the people are more
stirred up than occasion warrants.
Dr. Hugh White. city physician.
thoroughly agreed with Dr. Brown.
The influenza we have now in Fl
Paso.' said DR.. White, us the same
disease we have always had and
breaks out every year at this time
and during the winter II IS Of no
more severe type than usual. In our
civil population. There is no such
thing as Spanish Influenza which
is simply a new name applied TO an
old affliction."
No Cause For Alarm.
DR.. White believes that the cpl
demic I'm military life is OF constd-
cradle gravity, because OF the quick
spread OF the disease and many SICK
DAYS consequently lost He points
out that grippe has always been fol-
lowed BY more or less serious COM
plicatiOns. but that this year they
are no more alarming than hereto
Grippe has assaiIed the human
race at intervals. since the 18th cen
tury." said DR.. W ". Waite, city
hacterfoloEist- According 10 a
pamphlet issued by the L. s. Public
Health service September IL. the
present epidemic is similar 20 that
which ragged from 1883 TO 1892. 1t
the world. affecting the armies Of
enemies and allies alike. There is
no reason for alarm and there Is no
such thing as Spanish influenza
Organism short Lived
Notwithstanding the seriousness
Of complications arising from grippe
Dr. Waite anticipates no unusual
cause for unrest in FL Paso at pres
ent He said: The disease is one
that infects the respiratory passages
and is transmitted. either by the
breath. expectOration or drops OF
sputum in talking or coughiug. II
one stops 10 think how widely dis
tributed sputum IS. one sees how
easy a respiratory disease can be
transmitted. Fortunately the organ
ism OF Ia grippe does not live long
after leaving the body. so infection
comes most generally from close
contact with sick or we'll persons
harboring the germ"
DIR. Waite said that so far the
best preventative is to keep the BODY
in splendid condition and live in the
open air as much as possible

FOOD EXPORT RULES
T|GHTENED Up HERE

The most drastic food expectation rulings
yet ISSUED were placed in affect by United
States customs authorities here today. The
new ruling absolutely prohibits the expor-
tation of four, no matter how small the
quantity, and limits the use of food cards
TO once every seven days instead of twice
and three times week as formerly.
In connection with the new rulings, es-
pecially that with reference to the flour
prohibition, County Food Administrators A.
Wayne Wood has requested the merchants
to assist in enforcing the regulations by
notifying Matamoros purchasers and to
refrain from selling flour To such persons.
BY this notification it is hoped that the ef-
feet of the regulation will be modified a
much as possible from the standpoint of
both the purchaser and the customers of
ficlalS.
The customs officials will not permit the
crossing of purchases and if sales are
made either the merchant will be put TO
the Inconvenience of taking the flour back
or the purchaser must loose the amount
expended. A there j. very little flour on
hand in Brownsvi le and as there is little
likelihood of receiving more at an carly
date, however, the enforcement of this
regulation will not he particularly difficult
The food card regulation, however. will
in many ca>e> be difficult one te enforce.
The food cards are issued To the holder of
passports who are heads of families. I'm
der the old regulations the holders were
allowed 10 export the maximum amounts of
all quantities limited by the food admin
istration every three days The addition of
four extra days to this permith may cause
a great hardship to many Mexican families.
