Lessons Of Influenza
A hard lesson has been taught us
by the ravages Of influenza. While
the dread disease has visited high
and low. alike. we know that It
would readily have been checked il
the . proper precautions had been
exercised everywhere upon it's
first appearance. The homes of ig-
norance were the ones where no
precautions we're taken, and from
| which the contagion was spread in
! all directions.
When we compare the ravages Of
this disease with the mortality caus-
ed by war, we stand appalled, to find
that many hundred times the num-
Der have died in the United States
from influenza as died over there
from casualties among our men in the
field $4,000 deaths up to date of
December 5. was the Official state
ment, but since then many more have
been added.
This will surely open the eyes Of
women to the need of an .educa-
tional campaign as regards the rules
OF health.
