ATTACK OF FLU
ONLY ONE Time
Iowa State EpidemiolOgist Says LIN.
huenZa Comes Only Once
to a Person.
TESTS ARE MADE By MEDIC
DIR. John III. Hamilton Declares His
Observations Lead Him to
This Conclusion.

Here's a joy message for you
Rock Islanders who have fought
the flu:
Once having had the influenza,
one needs not worry about a second
attack.
This conclusion has been drawn
by DR.. John H. Hamilton, Iowa
state epidemiologist from observa-
tons of epidemics at the Iowa in
dustrial school for girls at Mitchell
vile and the state hospital for tu-
berculosis at Oakdale.
In November an epidemic of in
fuenZa occurred at the girls in
dustrial school and rs cases were
reported. By careful isolation
these cases were limited to three
cottages. Another epidemic occur
red in January and 50 persons cor
tracted the disease. No person who
had had an attack in the earlier
epidemic contracted it the second
time although all were exposed.
This, says DR.. Hamilton, would in
dictate that there was immunity.
At the Oakdale hospital for tuber-
culosis, another epidemic of influ-
enZa is still in progress. Up until
this time no person has had a sec
ond attack.
DR.. Hamilton also asserts that
among the many physicians he has
consulted none have seen a case
of influenza in the epidemic this
year who had the disease in the
first epidemic in 1890. This OF
course is not scientific since no

START WORK ON

TO KEEP ORDNANCE THERE
Total Of 100000 Square Feet OF
Floor Space to Be Available
When Completed.

Construction of storage buildings
at the Savanna proving grounds, a
branch of Rock Island arsenal, is to
start at once and when completed,
will have 100000 square feet of
floor space to be used exclusively
for the storing of ordnance.
The Aberdeen proving grounds in
Maryland and the Erie proving
grounds near Erie, Pa, will each be
provided with storage buildings and
each will have $4,000 square feet
OF floor space. The ordnance de-
partment first planned to allow b.
0O0, 900 square feet of storage space
equally among the three proving
grounds, but Rock Island arsenal
was finally granted more than a
third for its & rounsds at Savanna
A civilian force is to be used on
the Savanna work and will be I'M

partment. Returned soldiers are to
be given the preference in the work.

SPOONING ON THE
FRONT PORCH HIT
BY AN ORDINANCE

Tell me in what kind of a light
You like to sit with me;
Daylight, moonlight, gaslight
= spoonlight
Or electricity?
Any old light suits me all right
Whether it's great or small,
If you are there, then | don't care
If there isn't any light at all.
But while the girl in the verse
doesn't care" apparently many
girls in Philadelphia would a great
deal rather have no light at all.
Anyhow, it seems, those who are
fortunate enough to have front
porches, are wont to turn down the
street lights when he calls.
So Director Datesman, aided and
abetted by Chief Bible of the Blu
reau of Lighting, have prepared a
bill to be presented in councils leg
islating against turning out street
lamps, and those who do so must
pay from IS to 500 for the priv
ilege if caught.
The same applies to the small
boy who uses street lights as tar
gets for their sling shots.

careful observations have been
been made.
Are Relapses.
About the persons who have sur
fered from two or more supposed
attacks of influenza since last aut-
umn, DR.. Hamilton believes that
only one real case of influenza has
existed. Some second attacks are
relapses, he declares. Other cases
are not influenza at all, the disease
being hard to differentiate in dag
nosis from colds or other infections
of the respiratory tract. Many
cases of influenza may be dis
counted on account Of this difficulty
of diagnosis
DR.. Hamilton's observations are
attracting attention in the medical
world. DR.. Hamilton is epidemiolo-
gist in the state laboratories at the
University of Iowa.
