According to late reports issued by
State and Federal health authorities
the Spanish Influenza epidemic is
rapidly spreading to all parts of the
country, and it now seems that prac-
tically every state in the Union will
be seriously affected before it runs
its course.
1t has not only become a great and
terrifying menace to the public health,
but unless checked, it is apt to serious
ly affect the progress of war work in
all its various departments. Already
the Shipping Board has announced that
ten per cent of its workers had been
affected.
The disease has made its progress in
the East where it has claimed its VIC
tins by the thousands. Reports from
other sections, however, are equally
alarming; and both civil and military
authorities have warned the public to
take every p%recaution to prevent its
further spread. In many cities schools
churches and theatres have been clos
ed and public gatherings of all kinds
forbidden.
Medical authorities agree that peo-
pie who are-weak and rundown are
the earliest victims of the Influenza
epidemic. If you find yourself tired,
weak and losing flesh, or If you are in
n generally rundown condition, or il
you catch cold easily this warning
should be needed promptly. You are
really in great danger, because the
germ Of this disease is very catching
and you are apt to fall an easy victim
if you come in contact with the germs.
People who are well and strong are
not likely to contract the disease be-
cause they are able to throw it off.
The common-sense way to keep from
taking it is to fortify the system
against attack by building up the con
stitution.
In other words to use the old adage,
IAN ounce Of prevention is worth a
pound of cure" And if you are in a
sub-normal condition the proper thing
to do is to begin Immediately to build
up your powers of resistance. To nc.
complish this, nothing on earth will
