STATE HEALTH BOARD
TAKES UP EPIDEMIC

Pierre. S. D., Oct. 19.-rhe state
board OF health has taken up the ques-
ton, OF influenza control, and Superin-
tendent Jenkins. from his office at
Waubay, in which he requires all legal
~ qualified physicians OF the state to
ali cases coming under their care, and
also to notify him by wire when public
schools or public gatherings are pro-
hibited. That all public gatherings
shall be prohibited wherever this dis
ease becomes epidemic. One per cent
of the population of any locality show
ing effects of the disease is considered
sufficient to call it epidemic. Where
any physician fails to make the re-
quired reports to the state depart
ment a revocation Of his license to
practice stands as a penalty.

This action was taken by the local Red
Cross. in order h persons whose
homes are elsewhere, employed in the
city. might have efficient care and
treatment If they became afflicted with
with the ailment. and was made nee
essary because Of the crowded condi-
tons Of the local hospitals. which are
unable to accept n more influenza
patients. While the number Of pa
tents is large, the authorities and the
physicians are coping with the dis
ease so effectively 1t is hoped here.
that the epidemic will neither become
so extensive or so fatal as 1t has in
some other places. So far only one
death has been traced to influenza.
Public funerals have been prohibited
in all cases. whether death was due to
influenza or to another cause.

OVER THE TOP FIVE
TIMES IN THREE DAYS

Canton. S. D., Oct. 1910 go cover
the top" once is too tame for Allan
Hvistendahl, a South Dakota boy who
is at the fighting front in France. Five
times "over the top in three days is
his record. He tells about this and
other things in a letter just received
by the home folks. He writes in part:
Had quite a time in this last push;
killed SO many Huns with machine gun
h a l was sick Of it. Out Of our
crew OF 4 n on the gun, I was the
only one left the last day; all the rest,
except two. were killed; and I see in
the Canada paper that they died Of
the wounds. Made hard work on me
when we advanced.
Il was N. c. o. and crew of the gun
the last day, SO loaded down with pom
yards and gun and could hardly walk;
don't even know how we ad5anced II
kilometers. Went over the top after
Fritizie five times in three days.
Had no officer after the first day.;
In fact didn't need any, as we all knew
how far u objective was and when
we We're expected to take it. Took
thousands of prisoners; made them
carry up u rations and ammunition
and then carry out dead and wounded.
NO snap for them being a prisoner,
and when they wouldn't move fast
bayonet, and could sure make them
work that way"
Young Hvistendahl evidently was
wounded, for he concludes:
Il am now at O military hospital
awaiting a transfer to the convalescent
camp, where I expect to be a month or
more"
