BIC CAMP AIGN
AGAINST FLU
STARTS TODAY
Health Commissioner Takes
Steps to Unite Efforts
of Individuals as
Preventive.

A united effort to stamp out the
Spanish influenza in Omaha has been
organized by City Health Commits
sioner Manning, and is to be put in
to effect today.
1t is to be an individual united
effort. That is, every person will
be expected to do his share in pre-
venting any possibility OF the spread
of the disease.
THE closing orders checked the
influenza at the critical time" said
DR.. Manning, "but such orders are
not effective for the entire stamping
out of the epidemic. New cases are
being reported daily, and though,
they are mild, They are, neverthe-
less, the source of much suffering
and Inconvenience.
Cooperation Needed.
The individual plan, if faithfully
followed, will stamp it out. Every
person ought to be on the lookout
constantly for ways to stop apy pos
sibility of the spread of the disease.
He should do all he can to keep
from getting it, and in return should
do all he can to keep others from
getting any germs that may be
lurking in his own throat. That is
the basic idea of this whole indi-
vidual plan"
The campaign starts today with
cartoons in the local newspapers
showing the danger to others when
person coughs or sneezes without
covering the mouth. In fact, this is
the most menacing thing, and doc
tors say, spreads the disease more
than anything else. The slogan Of
the campaign is:
Cover up, each cough and sneeze;
If you don't, you'll spread disease.
We ought to regard the person
who coughs or sneezes without COW
ering his mouth, like we regard the
person who steals our purse" said
DR.. Manning. "The former steals
our health. The latter merely steals
part of our wealth"
Thousands of posters have been
printed, and will be put up in
churches, retail stores, wholesale
houses, store windows, street cars
and other public places. These read
as follows in large type:
INFLUENZA
Spread by droplets from nose and throat
Cover each cough and sneeze with
handkerchief
Spread by contact--Avoid crowds.
If possible, walk to work.
Do not spit on floor or sidewalk.
Do not use common drinking cups and
common towels.
Avoid excessive fatigue.
If taken Ill, go to bed and send for .
doctor.
The above applies also to colds, bron-
chitis. pneumonia and tuberculosis.
Lantern Slides, Too.
Special lantern slides will be made
of the cartoons appearing in the
papers and these will be thrown on
, the screen of every moving picture
house in Omaha at every perform
ance, showing the people the dan
ger of unprotected coughing and
sneezing.
Twenty-Five thousand leaflets, tell.
ing how Spanish influenza is propa.
gated and how it can be avoided, will
be distributed to homes of the city
through the public school children.
These will also be distributed to
employees of factories and stores.
1--WE propose to rouse every
person to a realization of his own
duty in preventing the spread Of
the 'fu,' and to protect every per.
son by teaching others to observe
the sanitary regulations" says DR.
Manning.
