increase in the number of new cases
of the influenza in the Canon City dis

they are. as a rule. less serious than
they were during November and De-
cember, and the health authorities are
of the opinion that there is no occa-
sion for undue alarm as a result Of
the visitation The utmost precau-
tions are being taken by the Board
of Health to minimize the effects of
the contagion by the maintenance of
the quarantine of the sick and 9TH
erwise safeguarding the welfare of the
unaffected. A good many cases of the

yielding TO medical treatment. Very
careful watch of the progress OF the
influenza in the community is being
kept by the health authorities, and
nothing is left undone to check its
ravages. The belief prevails that 1t

renee to the ban on public gatherings

Eleven new cases of influenza were
reported to the city health officer on
