UNIVERSITY IS CAUTIOUS

University of Oregon, Eugene, Oct.
9--As precautionary measure
against Spanish influenza and other
possible contagious diseases on the
University of Oregon campus, two
infirmaries, one for the men of the
Students Army Training Corps and
the other for the University women
have been established. While no
cases of Spanish influenza have yet
been reported on the campus, sick
call has shown a number of bad
colds among the men and personal
re 1rts among the women have like
wise shown colds and sore throats.
Every bad cold is to be isolated
for treatment and observation, ac-
cording to the decision by the
student health committee. A mass
meeting of all students and faculty
members of the University was held
on the campus Monday, at which
preventive measures were explained
and extreme caution urged to keep
the centagion from reaching the
Oregon campus.
The infirmary for the men of the
S. A. T. c. is under the supervision
of the government and is in charge
of DR.. S. M. Kerron, DR.. B. W. Neal,
and DR.. ]. F. Titus, S. A. T. C. ply
sicians. Miss Margaret Morris, a
graduate nurse, will have charge of
the women's infirmary under the
direction of four Eugene physicians.
Sick calls are to be held daily at
7:45 a. M for men and at II o'clock
for women. Also the health COM
mittee will require daily report
from all houses or residence foI
University women, stating the exact
condition of health Of the women
students.

LABOR ORGANIZATION GETS RE-
SUITS.
BY County Agent Brown.

When the County Agent met with
he County Agricultural Council and
drew up program of work for the
county, there was a general feeling
that the labor question was one of
the more important from an emer-
genCy standpoint, and this was
adopted as one of the leading pro-
jects for the year.
Following instructions county
labor committee was appointed and
plans laid for the most efficient use
of the available supply of labor. To
those who were part of that or
ganization, and to all the farmers of
the county the results have been ap-
parent.
some have learned that they
could work with their neighbor just
as well as bid against him. The
organization has not worked as
smoothly as we would have liked to
seen it, but many no doubt hold the
opinion as expressed by one farmer
when he said I'VE have gotten along
fairly we'll this season and with the
experience gained ought to meet
even greater difficulties next year
with equal success
SO far as the County Agent and
his office are concerned, we want to
express our appreciation of the
hearty cooperation given throughout
the season. Without this we surely
woold have given up against it. The
following figures speak for them
selves and show whether or not it
was worth while:
One hundred and eighty three
farm hands have been placed through
the efforts of the County Agent By
adopting a standard wage and stay
ing by it the farmers Of this county
obtained common labor for $500
per day, in contrast with neighbor-
ing county where no organized etfor,
was made and they were up against
the condition of having to pay $500
as the lowest wage for harvest
hands. This one item alone, figuring
Al the basis of $50 outfits in the
county, each employing two hands at
the common wage and each outfit
averaging a 30-day run will amount
| to a little over $4,000 saved to the
farmers of this county, to say moth
ing of the benefit the help received in
finding job quickly, and each fellow
knowing that he was getting the
same as the other fellow farther on
Labor right now is more difficult
to obtain than at any other time
during the year, and the month or
six weeks job does not look good to
the fellow who is looking for winter
work.

THE LID IS PUSHED
DOWN At HEPPNER
Measure of PrecautiOn Taken Re
garding Epidemic.

While there appears to be no well
defined cases of influenza at Heppner,
there are several that seem to have
some of the most prominent
symptoms, and these are under sur
veilance by the medical profession of
the city.
Thinking that it would be only the
part of wisdom, and after giving due
consideration to the matter. the City
Council, at a special session called
for the purpose on last Saturday
evening, decided to close up all
public meetings in the city for a
time, and according notice was
issued and spread over town Sunday
morning, closing until further notice.
all churches, picture shows, pool
halls, public meetings and the public
schools, consequently the lid has
been down during the week and the
town has presented very quiet ap-
pearance, indeed.
Because of the danger that exists
in a spread of the epidemic, the
Mayor, in conjunction with the
Board of Health, has decided to con-
tinue the order for another week, at
least, and school will not open on
Monday. Just as soon, however, as
all danger SENS to be passed, the
school will be allowed to resume
work and churches and Sunday
school may convene as usual. There
is no intention on the part of the
authorities to keep the closing order
In force any longer than prudence
would require, but the feeling is that
an ounce of prevention in this case
is far better than pound of cure
therefore the public will have to be
patient.
We understand that there are q
few cases at lone at present and the
schools there were closed the middle
of this week. 1t is to be hoped thai
Morrow county will escape an,
serious onslaught Of the epidemic.

How to Tell Influenza.

In most cases a person taken sick
with influenza feels sick rather sud-
denly. He feels weak, has pains in
the eyes, ears, head or back, and
may be sore all over. Many patients
feel dizzy, some vomit. Most of the
patients complain of feeling chilly,
and with this comes fever in which
the temperature rises to 100 and
1O4. In most cases the pulse re-
mains relatively slow.
In appearance one is struck by the
fact that the patient looks sick, His
eyes and the inner side Of his eyelids
may be slightly blood shot," or
"congested," as the doctors say.
There may be running from the nose,
or there may be some cough. These
signs of cold may be marked; /;
nevertheless the patient looks and
feels very sick.
How to Avoid Influenza.
1. Avoid contact with other
people so far as possible. Especially
avoid crowds indoors, in street cars,
theaters, motion picture houses and
other places of public assemblage.
2. Avoid persons suffering from
"colds," sore throats and coughs.
8. Avoid chilling of the body or
living in rooms of temperature below
65 degrees or above 72.
4. Sleep and work in clean fresh
air.
S. Keep your hands clean and
keep them out of your mouth.
6. Avoid expectorating in public
places and see that others do like
wise.
7. Avoid visiting the sick.
s. Eat plain, nourishing food and
avoid alcoholic stimulants.
8. Cover your nose with your
handkerchief when you sneeze, your
mouth when you cough. Change
handkerchiefs frequently. Promptly
disinfect soiled handkerchiefs by
boiling or washing with soap and
water.
10. Don't worry, and keep your
feet warm. Wet feet demands
prompt attention. Wet clothes are
dangerous and must be removed as
soon as possible.
What To Do II You Have 1t.
If you get cold 60 to bed in a
well-ventilated room. Keep warm.
Q. Keep away from other people.
Do not kiss anyone.
3. Use individual basins and
knives, forks, spoons, towels, hand
kerchiefs, soap; wash plates and
cups.
A. Every case Of influenza should
go to bed at once under the care of a
physician. The patient should stay
in bed at least three days after fever
has disappeared and until con-
valescense Is we'll established.
s. The patient must not cough or
sneeze except when mask or hand
kerchief is held before the face.
6. He should sleep in warm,
The gazette-times. [volume] (Heppner, Or.) 1912-1925, 1918-10-17
well-ventilated room.

well-ventilated room.
7. There is no specific cure for the
disease. Symptoms should be met
as they arise.
s. The great danger is from pneu-
monia. Avoid it by staying in bed
while actually i'll and until con-
valescense is fully established.
0. The after effects of influenza are
worse than the disease. Take care
of yourself.
10. Strictly observe the state and
city rules and regulations for the
control of influenza.
