FOREIGN DISEASE SEEMS TO
GROW MILDER,

The flu situation here is very lit

cases, although the death rate seems
to grew a little less, the disease not
being as deadly as when it first made
lis appearance or the physicians are
able to combat the disease ID ore: prof1-
Cieltiy.
Since last week several negroes
have contracted the disease with
few deaths but up to that time tney
seemed to be immune. There are many
who believe that the stores and Dus1-
ness places should be closed earlier.
the barber shops closed and people not
allowed to congFegate on the streets
or in public places. Boys should not
be allowed on the streets between
p. m. and a. M. ;.
The splitting" ordinance is being
more rig.dly enforced and the spot
ting" of all cases of flu in the city IS
another preventive.
A conservative report places the
number of cases in the city ana SUI
burbs at 1000. In this territory some
thirty people have died or nu anu
pneumonia within the past month.
1t is believed that with the passing
of this week the crest ct the 'eploemlc

The people who were disposed at
first to treat the epidemic lightly be,
came more serious as it's deadly erect
was noticed and others became
frightened, but since they have had
time to see the wisdom Of all doing
their part in combating the disease
by preventive measures and not los
ing their nerve, the effects are being
felt i'm all sections
Every section of the United States
is affected and especially is the ep1.
demic raging east of the Mississippi
river. In the army camps the deatn
rate has been lowered some out tne
