PERSONAL CARE A ~FLUr PRE-

@ Some pertinent paragraphs with
refence to influence In the United
States, and particularly regarding the
possibilities of another epidemic this
year, are placed in circulation by Dr..
E. G. Birge, state epidemiologist.
from his offices at the University OF
Iowa. who calls attention to the fol-
lowing facts noted by the Public
Health Service:
Probably, but by no means GER
tainly, there will be recurrence OF
the influenza epidemic this year.
Indications are that, should it oc-
cur, it will not be as severe as the
previous pandemic.
City officials and state and city
boards of health should be prepared
in the event Of a recurrence.
The fact that previous attack brings
immunity in certain percentage OF
cases should not allay fear on the part
The commission points Out to town
demic.
Influenza Is spread both by direct
and indirect contact.
1t is not yet certain that the germ
has been isolated or discovered, and
as consequence there is yet no pos
tive preventive except the enforc-
ment Of rigid rules of sanitation and
the avoidance OF personal contact.
It is now believed that last year
the disease was pretty widely dis
tributed throughout the eounry be-
fore it was recognized in its epidemic
state. This failure to recognize the
early cases appears to haSs been due
to the fact that every interest was
then centered In the waxs

Grafton Of road officials, says the lows
Highway Commission. Culverts. side
ditches and all drain outlets should be-
opened up so that water from the fall
rains can get away from the road and

every effort should be made to have.
the newly placed dirt placed in layers
and the center Of the roadway ct all

Of rain the water will drain on and
not soak down into the new grades.
The commission points out to twon-

either blade grader or scraper outfits.
At best there Is not likely to be more
than four or five weeks OF road work

should be devoted to placing the roads
in condition for winter rather than
any attempt at new construction.
When the alternate thawing and
freezing begins draggers should be
urged to keep their road in the best
possible condition and use every pos
sible effort to have the road freeze up
perfectly smooth. No road mainten-
ance work, especially no road drag

the last few weeks or days before the

Is just as good as city pavement all
