DEATH RATIO TOO HIGH
Declares Mortality Compared
.. With Accurate Number of
Cases Is Low
DEATH RATIO TOO HIGH

The actual mortality rate from in
fuenza is only about one-half Of l per
cent, according to Or. John w. Croskcy
president of the West philadelphia Med
icai Association, who, with other physi-
clans Of that locality. has begun an
"anti-scare" campaign directed against
the growing alarm caused by the cpl
demic.
Doctor CrosSey, who IS visiting sur
geon at the Philadelphia General Hos
pltal. declared today there is little cause
for the widespread alarm existing in this
city.
',Auto-suggestion has much TO do with
the present state Of mind Of the people
OF Philadelphia" he said. while don't
say that auto-sugrcstion Will cause in
nuenza. or pneumonia, the power Of
auto-suggestion is pretty well establish
ed. 1t makes people of low vitality cspr-
cially liable to disease.
Not Proper Death Percentage
''Physicians. overburdcncd with calls
from Influenza patients. are absolutely
unable to report every case coming to
their attention. What does that sig
nifty? 1t means that the reported cases
are far below the actual number Of
cases. and then people taking the re-
ported death rate. compare II with the
total of reported cases and jump to the
conclusion that the disease is very
deadly.
"Just the opposite is the truth There
are. believe. thousands Of uureportod
cases in this city. Compare those thou
sands with the reported death rate and
II will be found, | am sure. that the ac-
tual mortality from influenza appcoM-
mates one-hslf of l per cent.
'Taking every precaution Of course is
the wise thing to do, Doctor kruEcn
acted wisely in closing theatres saloons
and other places Of public asscmblage,
But the public should be educated to 'hr
fact that the disease Is not as deadly
as many believe it TO be.
"Terror I. Big illy'
"Terror is "A big ally Of the influenza
bacillus and IL the public state of mind
can be steered out of the channel of
fright. a long long step will have been
taken to conquer the epidemic"
Doctor Crosllcy's views were upheld
by DR.. J. r. Brown, 4200 Chestnut
street; Or. William T. Hughes, 3945

the West Philadelphia Medical AsoCia-
tion.

hear that Mr.. HI. S. Chambers, who
has been our fire chief for a dozen
years, intends to resign his position,
his resignation to take place April Is.
He intends to move to Oklawaha,
where he has been offered the man
agement of Mr.. N. w. Harison's big
farm. Everybody will miss "Hamp."
He has been most efficient fire chief,
devoting himself heart and soul to
the welfare of the department. Also,
he has been the friend and helper of
everybody who has come in contact
with him. He will be pleasantly stu
ated at Oklawaha, and can always
have his family with him, instead OF
only part of the time, as here, while
he fills his present position. Mr..
Chambers place will probably be fill
ed by his son, George, who has been
with the department off and on for
some ten years and is better ac-
quainted with the work than any man
in the city, except the chief himself.

She has set out with flowers a border

along the eastern wall of the build

and paying for the rest of it. She
likes to have something pretty to look
at, she says, when she looks out of her
