Conditions Surrounding the
Influenza Epidemic Con-
tinue to Improve as the
Day Passes.
GUARD AGAINST OPTIMISM
Health Department Urges People Not
to Get Too Optimistic and Urges No
Let Up In the Fight THAT
Is Being Made.

Kenosha men and women, fully or
ganized and standing shoulder to
shoulder in battle for health are slow
" but surely getting the best Of the
epidemic of Spanish influenza in the
city and conditions continued to show
improvement today. Few new cases of
the disease were reported but there
was still the nagging sorrow in all
parts Of the city which comes from
deaths from pneumonia following the
Influenza. The death rate was much
lower on Monday and today than it
had been on Saturday and Sunday and
while the morgues Of the city were
still crowded with bodies the new calls
in the last twenty four, hours showed
a big reduction. Seven or eight new
deaths were reported and in every case
death was from pneumonia.
At the health office, in the hospitals
and among the physicians and nurses
there was a more optimistic feeling
today.
Guard against too much optimism y
was the suggestion among the officials
today. "The people must know that
we are not out Of the woods yet and
right now when the enemy is being
conquered is the time for the greatest
vigilance.
There will be no let up in any of
the restrictions which have been made
and the quarantine provisions over the
city may be continued for some time
in the future.'
. Only a half a dozen new cases Of
Influenza had been reported at the Of
fee of the Health Department at noon
today but the officials held that this
could not be held as the measure Of
the disease as many of the physicians
are still SO busy taking care of the sick
that they have not had time for the
clerical work Of making reports.
More nurses were in service in the
city today. One more nurse from Mil
waukee was working under the -direc-
tion Of the Health Department and four
more men from the hospital corps at
the Great Lakes station came up to
help Kenosha out. This addition to
the force was aiding very materially in
fighting the disease. Another valu-
able addition to the health force was
the scores of school teachers who
brought intelligent investigation to the
battle against influenza. These devot-
ed women many of them working full
twelve hours on Monday were Of great
est help.
The opening Of the new hospital at
the old Yule home on Park Avenue has
done lot to relieve crowded condi-
zion and it is now an up-to-date hos
pital in every way fully equipped to
meet every call made upon 1t.
