FEWER DEATHS FROM FLU"
Decreased Death Rate. Expected Be.
cause Fewer Persons Suscept-
ible to Disease.

Answering many requests for in.
a probable return of influenza dur.
ing the approaching winter months,
a prominent western physician has
issued n statement on the subject
in which he sums up the situation
thus, "Our attitude should be one of
hopefulness, u position one of safe.
ty." He says:
1.-The epidemic Of influenza will
recur this winter, if the germ that
causes it is not worn out in killing
people, If we haye no artificial means
quarantine or vaccination - for
controlling the disease, or if it has
not already affected all the population
that is susceptible. But note the three
ifs II one of them can prevent or
limit the recurrence of the epidemic.
1t is, therefore, necessary, in arriving
at a satisfactory answer to our ques-
ton will the epidemic recur his winter,
that we understand the three possible
factors that limit the duration of cpl
denies. As suggested, these three fac
tors are:
First, h loss of virulence by the
infective germ which causes an cpl
demic. as a factor in the cessation of
the epidemic, is an extremely remote
probability - almost too remote to
discuss. The writer is unable to find
n-., r. 81 ~
able to him on this question indeed,
the science of bacterology teaches the
reverse, that infective germs gain ra-
ther h lose virulence during an
become more vigorous rather than
less vigorous. 1t. therefore, does not
seem reasonable nor probable that cpl
denies, including Influenza, stop be-
cause Of the exhaustion of the infect
i've germs.
Second. artificial means, such as
quarantine and vaccination. may be eff
fectively applied in the control of some
epidemics. as diphtheria. typhoid, scar
let fever. yellow fever. etc. but there
IN no evidence TO SNOW ana there are
no health officers of dependable repu-
tation who believe that any epidemic
of influenza has ever or can Ne CON
trolled or stopped with our present
means. The most that can be lone by
artificial mems. such as preventing
public assemblages. is to retard the pro-
gress of IN epidemic so that available
medical and nursing care may he ade-
quate to the emergency.
Third, the consumption Of the in
fective material. susceptible fuel, rem
dering it immune. like the unstricken
portion of the population. is, by the
exclusion of the other two possible
factors, the responsible factor and
the sole factor in limiting h dura-
ton of an epidemic Of influenza.

management of this store. having about 20
years Of experience in the grocery business.
thereby acquiring the knowledge how to serve
the wants of customers. Mr. Hunt recognizes
that the public demands goods of known
quality. or the best Of every make. therefore

uneasiness. II Is well known that there
are gigantic stocks OF -four wherever

York city alone there are now between
100000 and 100000 barrels of flour.
AT recent meeting of the Eastern sea-
board -four interests at the Produce
Exchange Philadelphia man named
Koran declared that 1000 carloads of
-four owned by the United States Gov
eminent were then lying on the tracks
in Philadelphia on demurrage. There
were also 100000 barrels on spot In
warehouses ready for sale. The Gov
eminent bought 100000 to 10000. 900
barrels OF -four, some OF which has been
cleared, but the rest ls in transit
In the past Ave weeks, however, no
-four purchases have been made by the
Government The inability Of the -four

Price Fixing Is Opposed.

Asked by Representative Rayburn
(Tex) IL he did not believe II would be
advisable for the Government TO at least
fix the price of meat Mr. Norris said
such an attempt undoubtedly would re-
suit dlsastrously because there were
many factors entering into the deter
mination of meat prices over which the
Government would have no control.
The Food Administration has been
successful in fixing the price of meat
sold to the Allies" he said. but that
was because the Allies had to take our
meat or go without. AS soon as the
world market becomes normal again
prices will be fixed as before by the law
Of supply and demand.
THE packers sell at the best prices
they can get but are forced to sell at n
loss often to dispose OF surplus quaint
ties. II the price was fixed reductions
could not be made when the supply ex-
ceeded the demand and meat would 20

The Food Administration, he said
could dictate the price paid now by the
Allies. but that when the worl6. market
became normal prices would be deter
mined as before.

The trend OF opinion in the House and

strongly in the direction OF the plan out
lined BY Representative Anderson
'Ninn) in speech yesterday. He
would authorize the use OF Government
funds for reimbursement OF the farmer
al the source or country elevator and
permit normal business and trade chan
nels to take control OF the wheat after
that point.
Members see in connection with this
plan, however. the deslrability OF
making some provision by which the
Government may prevent violent market
fluctuations through authority to pur-
chase. store and sell wheat when such
action would tend 10 stabilize the mar
ket
1t Is further urged that the fund must
be available for reimbursement OF mil
lera and distributors who may pay for
wheat at 81 &c bushel and md the
price dropped to the level OF the world
market before they have been able to
manufacture and ma rket their products
As this would involve not more than
10000, 900 bushels however. this prob
lem is not considered as one Of the
