DODGE THE "FLU"
AND STAY ON JOB

The Medical Directors Office. r. I. dt
Pont De Nemours and Company. toda
issued the following bulletin:
Spanish influenza IS caught from
others who have 10. Some people
have II so lightly they are. not sick
enough 20 so TO bed. and some so
lightly they do not feel sick at all.
These people go about coughing,
sneezlng, or splitting and 20 give
u 10 others.
The more people thure are gath
cred together In a room or other
enclosed space, the more likely are
there 10 be some OF these "car-
riers." Therefore stay out OF
crowds as much as possible until
the outbreak is past. You can do
without moving picture shows and
other amusement gatherings for a
few weeks, and 70 may be the means
Of your escaping the disease.
Try 10 have your living and sleep
ing rooms comfortably warm and
well ventilated. II the weather gets
cold. keep a large metal bucket Of
water on each stove or radiator to
moisten the air.
Keep your feet dry and warm. II
your shoes get wet change them
and put on clean dry stockings.
Keep your body tough by fol-
lowing health rules which the doc
tors will furnish II you ask them.
our doctors are more exposed to
the disease than anyone else be-
cause they treat so many cases. We
notice that a good many OF them
are taking two grains Of quinine
after each meal as a preventive, and
some Of them take a flve grain creo-
sote pill IN addition. Taking these
medicines seems 20 h& but they
DO not surely prevent - disease.
