Remember that great number OF
communicable diseases are spread by

them. These germs, as in the cases
Of influenza and pneumonia. are ex-

carelessly expectorates.
When you are near such a person
protect yourself by placing your hand
kerchief over your mouth and nose.
When you cough or sneeze, whether
sick or we'll, protect your neighbor by
covering your own mouth and nose.
Avoid crowds and stay out In the
open air as much as possible. Stay
away from poorly ventilated places,
aach as moving picture theaters and
crowded cars. Don't visit your neigh
