Still Fighting Influenza.

From Yesterdays Shreveport Times.l
TimeS-yeSterday-. TX SatiOn h'Oyee
The greatest precautiOn Is still nee
essary to prevent recurrence of the in.
fiuenza epidemic. according to DIR. &. c.
Chandler. of the City Health Board,
in il statement given out last night.
Every precautionary measure possible
should he followed, he says. as the dam
ger of further and continued spread
of the disease is not yet near passed.
The influenza germ has not lost its
virulence, DIR. Chandler declared, and
the danger now is just as great as it
ever has been. At no time during the
epidemic. even when it was at its
height in the country, did the death
rate exceed / per cent. This same per-
centage of deaths remains with the
marked decline in the number of cases,
and for this reason, and many others,
it is deemed wise by the Health Board
to issue warning to the public that
they must continue to pursue the same
vigilance in fighting the disease.
= In fact" DIR. Chandler said. lit is
optional with the people whether they
take influenza or not. If they follow
the precautionary methods outlined to
them they may materially aid in pro-
tccting their own health and the health
of others. hut if they decide to the con-
trary they may be the source of allow
ing the disease to gain and cause fur
ther suffering and DEATH" DIR. Chan
der said that SO far the people of
Shreveport have been very instru-
mental in assisting the Health Board
in keeping the disease confined, but
they must understand that this is no
time to discontinue protecting them
selves against its cOntagiOn.
"A slight increase in the number of
new cases might be noted within the
next few days" DIR. Chandler remark
ed. This will be due to the exposure
to some disease carrier and to I'M
proper ventilation. Fresh air is the
best medicine with which to fight ill.,
fiuenza. and even if the nights and
days are chilly that should give no
cause for IL house being closed tight.
not we'll ventilated. Influenza germs
flourish in closed rooms and In i'll ven-
tilated places
Tuesday thirteen new cases were re-
| corded. with no deaths.
Regarding the children and their
welfare for the present in the fight,
which he asks he continued by every
body. DR.. Chandler said:
"Children when sent to school should
be securely wrapped. They should
never lie neglected along this line.
After they have reached school they
should continue wearing their wraps
and thereby prevent contracting cold,
which is the primary step for infiuen-
"a. Every parent in Shreveport, and
any place else. for that matter, should
help protect the little ones, for they are
as much subject to the disease as
adults and need close care"

IS THE "SCARDEST
 DEER" THAT HE HAS
 EVER SEEN ANY PLACE

Tom Thompson, who presides over the Art Department for The Elm pire, says the deer in Southeastern Alaska is the "scardest deer" he has ever heard about. He says that they are so danged fraid that they won't even let hunters see them.
 He has returned from a several days outing in company with George Finley and the best they did was to see some deer tracks. Tom says there was lots of scenery and plen- ty of country and woods and rocks and water and dampness, but no game, and fortunately no snakes, because of the absence of snake bite cure"
