Situation Is Serious
From reports received to-day at
the local health Offices il became
evident that the epidemic would be-

hoped TO check the spread of the
disease.
At present schools in outlying
county districts are not to he closed

SemiWeekly Reports on
Influenza Are to Be GiDen

DIR. Royer will to-day send to all
local boards of health letter calling
flor reports TO be made semiweekly
to the State Capitol on influenza
cases. The letter suggests that as
physicians will be much occupied in
districts where there are violent out
breaks of the disease that Boy
Scouts be organized to act as clerks
to physicians and gather the infor-
Tmation for local boards to forward
to the state commissioner.
Reports from the Pennsylvania
doctors and nurses detailed to aid in
Massachusetts show that pneumonia
is less prevalent among patients in
canvas tents than in hospitals or
private houses, said the commission
ler to-day. THE lesson should be for
our people to give influenza patients
open window treatment and where
possible outdoor treatment" said he.
Regarding the suggestion that
automobile service stations remain
open to aid medical men and nurses
to get about during the epidemic the
commissioner said Workers should
so identify themselves and cars so
that the fuel administration order
may not be imposed upon"
