INFLUENZA.

Many time the public, thru
thoughtlessness that borders on UNI
justified propaganda, develops state
Of mind that certainly does more to
promote disease than it does to pre-
vent Il.
The Star is in receipt Of lengthy
article on influenza from The Public
Health Service Of the United States,
a short summary Of which is printed
elsewhere. In addition is a letter ITO
the Editor" signed by Rupert Blue,
Surgeon General, u. S. P. II. S.
In part this letter says:
Quite frankly no one can say
with any certainty whether there
will be a recurrence of last winters
horror.
1t will be observed that no men
ton has been made here Of cure,
or specific. SO far as the most care
ffui scientific Investigations have
been able to determine, none has
been discovered; the suggested rem
edies which give most encourage
ment are even now in their expert
mental stage.
Evidence collected during last
winters pandemic points strongly
to infected eating and drinking
utensils as being one of the modes
of transmission of this disease.
1t is suggested that the attention of
the public be called to these things,
and that municipal authorities take
steps to regulate this phase of the
matter in relation to public eating
places.
Attention is called to the very great
variance in different localities as to
the fatality Of the disease, which calls
to mind the fact that Polk county was
very greatly favored in this particu-
lar.
In the meantime, there is nothing
better than keeping clean, inside and
out, and to this might be added, plen-
ty Of fresh air and pure drinking wat
er---two things easily obtained in the
0zarks.
