IMPROVEMENT IN

DEATHS OF LAST SUNDAY SEEM
TO MARK PEAK REACHED ~
INFLUENZA
BOYS At STATE COLLEGE IMPROVING
All Over tho Country From Latest Re-
ports O%btainabIe General condi-
tons Seem Improved

The general health situation in the
county and city is today on the i'm
prove. Sunday was a bad day for the
city, as three civilians and one SOL
der passed away that day, and there
have been other deaths since, but il
seems that the general conditions are
better. At the college hospital three
men have died during the past week.
William Koran. whose father lives in
Trip county and who was with him at
the end. passed away Sunday evening
from pneumonia. The body was taken
to Miller for burial Monday evening.
Monday Charles DOMAIN of Ben Claire,
Minnehaha county, died from the In
fuenza and the body taken home for
interment. Mr.. and Mrs. DOMAIN, the
parents, were here with their son.
Early Tuesday morning Leo Halter Of
Flandreau passed away from hemor-
hage of the lungs. There are no other
serious cases at the college and barr
ing any unexpected incident there, all
who have been iii, will soon be out OF
all danger. No new cases have de-
veloped there in the past week and the
situation at the college is better than
in the city and county. The hospital
conditions at the college are of the
very best. Captain Nichols Is a most
competent and efficient physician and
gives all Of his patients constant care
and watches them closely. He is
aided by a good hospital corps of five
men under the command of Sergt.
Palmer and they are doing splendid
work in combating disease. The hospi.
tai on the top floor of the south dormi-
tory is an ideal location and with light
and air, combined with the close al.
tention of the nurses makes all the sur.
roundings amply sufficient from a
human standpoint. Miss Aamodt, a
trained nurse. has been secured to as
sist the corps, and according TO DR..
Nichols Is rendering valuable service.
II. every sick person in South Dakota
had as good attention and care as the
soldiers at the college, we could rest
assured that all possible human help
was being given them. Captain Hotch-
kiss, the commandant, and all officers
and men under him, are doing their
full share in every possible manner.
DR.. E. c. Miller, county and city health
officer, Is also in daily attendance and
subject to call by reaso of his appoint
ment as a government contract doctor.
The parents of the state who have
boys attending the State College can
rest assured that all that human
agencies can accomplish to protect and
care for their boys is being done In an
efficient and energetic manner.
The general verdict of the physicians
is that the epidemic is on the wane in
the county and that care, attention to
health conditions and the following
Of the necessary health board regu-
lations will do much to keep down
the death rate, to the lowest possible
point. There is no cause for fright
or worry, both of which will help the
disease.
