How to Prevent ~Infueuxa."
Editor Nirginians
wish to suggest prevention for
influenza. / prevented an attack about
two weeks ago and If others follow my
advice the epidemic will soon die out
My suggestion to everybody is to
eat sparinely. ] think that one reason
inhuenza is SO prevalent in the army
camps is that our soldier boys are over
fed. If the average person would cut
down his food supply at least 80 per
cent / feel that the influenza would
soon vanish from our midst. The old
expression Feed cold and starve a
fever" is only half true. You should
starHe a cold well fever as
every cold s n fever more or less.
Al this season Of the year when colds
are so prevalent, let everybody 20 with
out one meal per day. IT the meal dis
penSed with is lunch con. do not make

or supper If you have any symptoms
Of a cold or influenza, stop eating solid
foods a once.
