Yer new cases than at any time since
epidemic started were noted in Barre
day, and the number of those who are.
recovering is increasing steadily. The
malady is by no means eradicated. and
the physicians are fearful of the worst in
conspicuous cases, but those who have
followed the situation carefully are con.
rlnced that the plague is on the wane.
there were Is deaths reported to-day,
but IN nearly every case the deceased Ia

local doctors, although no trained nurses
came with them. The practice of visiting
every new case is approved by members
OF the state board of health, who are
keeping an eye on the local situation.
1t is the purpose of the relief commit.
tee to have every new case systematical-
ly treated and regularly visited by

cool nights and bracing atmosphere which
marked the change in outdoor conditions

at one IN the opinion that clear air and
sunshine are the best tonics available,
pronounced change for the better may be
looked for in the near future.

of men and women who have volunteered
their services in caring for the sick, con-
tinues to do its work we'll Almost every

recover and are recovering from both
the grip and pneumonia has served to
strengthen the campaign which the com.
mittee and the doctors are waging against
fear. Optimism is the note that must
be strongly emphasized, say the doctors,
and they are urging their charges every.
where to preserve a calm exterior wher-
ever the sick are concerned.
