It's Up to YOU to Avoid
Epidemic Of Influenza;
Observe These Rules

The avoidance OF an epidemic Of
influenza in South Bend is now plain
ly up to the individual. according TO
a statement issued Saturday by DR..
Charles +. Hansel, president of the
board OF health.
There is not now such an epidemic
the doctor asserts. although there
are isolated cases of influenza, and
If the proper precautions are taken
the disease can be prevented from
becoming epidemic.
Defines Symptoms.
The statement issued by Dr. Han
sci includes suggestions for avoid
ing the disease.
It follows:
The term influenza or grip. which
is the same thing. has always been
rather loosely applied and while il
is sometimes impossible TO differen-
tiate mild case Of influenza from a
severe cold yet the two diseases
are different in origin. Colds may
be caused by a variety of organisms
while influenza is always caused by
the bacillus of influenza. Spanish
influenza does not differ from the
type which has come in epidemics
previous to this except perhaps in
it's virulence.
The mild form as stated before
resembles an ordinary cold. but the
severe form begins abruptly with a
chill or chilly sensation. Then
there is a fullness Of the head fol-
lowed by a discharge from the nose,
cough, fever, pains or aching in the
head, chest, back and extremities;
occasionally there is nausea or
vomiting; weakness or prostration
is marked and is a very prominent
symptom. In three days or a week
the symptoms will disappear unless
there are complications. The COM
plications are: Pneumonia. hron-
chitis. assesses in the head or ears.
infection of the heart valves or
muscle, rheumatism and rarely an
involvement OF the kidneys.

about one-half of the anthracite coal
allotted TO South Bend has already
been received and distributed and
the prospects for receiving the en-
tire allotment are not bright. Month
" shipments are limited 10 one

The uncertainty of receiving even

following regulations: No more than
two tons Of hard coal will be de-
livered for a stove at one time. and
no more than four tons for a fur
mace. Consumers will not be per-
mitted TO place an order with more
than one dealer, and dealers are not

tion will be given first 70 old people,
