GRIP EPIDEMIC
SLOWLY ABATING
Fewer Deaths and Fewer New
Cases Reported in
Borough

The health situation in Steelton is
slowly but surely becoming brighter,
not only are there fewer deaths re-
ported for the last twenty-four hours
but less new cases have been report
ed. Local physicians have reported
thirty-nine new cases to the Health
Board but these figures are of neces-
sity approximate because of the
physicians lack of time to check up
accurately all the cases they have
handled. To one thing. however. all
are agreed. and that is that there
are fewer new cases.
At the Emergency Hospital there
are now eighty-nine patients under
treatment; thirty-four patients have
thus far been discharged as cured. and
there have been thirty-seven deaths.
The greater portion of deaths in the
borough have occurred in the foreign
sections, where living is not only con-
gested, but in many cases unsanitary,
and thoroughly ripe for just such an
epidemic as this has proved to be.
The death rate among native born
white Americans is very small, less
than half a dozen having so far died
OF the disease in Steelton. This fact
alone should be the strongest reason
for the stringent enforcement of all
the sanitary and housing laws in
SteeIton.
The Emergency Hospital is still
short of nurses for night shifts. and
the work is much handicapped be-
cause of this shortage. 1t is to be
hoped that more people Will offer their
services in this work. Failure to do
cause o. death to many, who other
wise could be saved.

Willis A. Lindsey, Employe
Of Harrisburg Telegraph,
Buried at Carlisle Today

Carlisle, Pa. oct. 22.-Funeral
services of Willis A. Lindsey, a we'll
known printer employed on the Har-
risburg Telegraph, who died from
pneumonia at the Carlisle Hospital
on Saturday afternoon, were held at
the home in West South street, at
$50 o'clock this afternoon, con-
Quoted by the Rev. DR.. II. b. Stock,
pastor of st. Paurs Lutheran Church.
Mr.. Lindsey learned the printing
trade at the Carlisle Sentinel office
and was employed there for about
twenty years. During the past year
he worked in the composinf room
of the Harrisburg Telegraph. He
became ill about two weeks ago and
was taken to the Carlisle Hospital
on Thursday.
Mr.. Lindsey was a member of
Harrisburg Typographical Union, No.
IA, also member of the Knights of
Pythias, the Odd Fellows and the
Independent Americans. He was
president of the Empire Hook and
Ladder Company and was active in
the affairs of that organization and
of the Carlisle Volunteer Fire De-
partment. He is survived by his
wife AND two daughters. Ruth and
Heeln, and by two sisters, Mrs. JOS
eph Hack, of Noristown, and a mar
ried sister in Conshohocken Burial

If Football Be Rough,
How About PushbaIl /?

Remember the sport reformers of n
Few years back who lamented loud
and tearfully the roughness of foot
ball and other sports.
Wonder what those same gentlemen
would do nowadays il they happened
into an Army or Navy camp and saw
some of the games the soldiers and
sailors are playing
Football, even the old football of
the flying and revolving wedge, has
become parlor game to some of the
games these lads are playing. The
new games are virile. they demand
strength and they cannot be played
by men with yellow streaks And
the top they will realize the benefit
of these games.
There is nothing of the parlor
game about pushball.
In the first place a fellows got to
be pretty husky to do much juggling
than six feet in diameter and weighs
about $50 pounds.
The huge ball is placed in the CEN
ter of the field. On either side ten or
hfteen yards away are equal sides
lined up. At the referees signal both
teams charge on the ball.
It's quite likely the big ball will
knock down a couple of fellows and
plaster them into the mud before il
gets up in the air.
Then outside of what the ball is
likely to do everyone has to be pre-
pared for the rushing teams which
have any football rush ever seen
backed of the boards.
oh, yes. pushball is a nice game, but
not for a mollycoddle.

Douglas Beidel, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Charles Beidel, of South Front

corps in France, in an interesting
letter to his parents says they have
the Huns on the run. Part of the
letter follows:
Fritz is surely on the run now.
Fords can go some, but we need
something faster than Fords to keep
up with the 5Iuns now. We in
France were always sure of victory,
but now that Fritz is beating it to-
wards Berlin, and is going just about
as fast as his legs can carry him,
we all feel sure that he must throw
up the sponge before long. 1 missed
wonderful experience the other
day by being back in camp. The
young fellow that took out my car
while 1 was resting had the car shot
out from under him, while he es-
capped without a scratch. He was
lucky, though, for two wounded men
in the car were killed. This is the
second car of mine that was shot to
pieces. Hope it is the last. Accord
ing to the appearance of things at
this time We hope to be back home
soon. Things look good"
