FLU AT A STANDSTILL
Thirty-Three Cases in Sixteen Coun.
ties Today

Thirty Three Cases in Sixteen Coun-
ties Today.
Flu conditions in Kansas are prac-
tically at a standstin, according to re-
turns received by the state board of
health up to late this afternoon. Re-
turns show influenza in sixteen coun-
ties with a total of thirty-three cases,
as against thirty-one for the previous
week. Seven counties reported more
than one case each, while only one
county returned more than five cases.
Barton county reported seven cases,
the largest number of any county in
the state. This is a decrease OF four
cases from the Barton county returns
of the previous week. Marion county
was second with four cases, while
Kiowa county, Topeka city and Kansas
City, Kan, tied with three cases each.
Ellsworth and Geary county each re-
ported two cases. One case was re-
ported from each of the following
countless Allen, Butlers Cowley. Ford,
Miami, Pratt, Rawlins, Rice and STAFF
ford.
The returns are for the week end
ing last Saturday night. The previous
week showed thirty-one cases, an in
crease Of nearly so per cent over the
same week year ago. The fact that
Kansas registered at the top in flu
cases reported from various states is
not regarded by state health officials
as indicating a serious condition in
this state. 1t is the belief of health
officers that the Kansas returns are
more thoro and complete than those
from states giving small returns after
reporting local and general epidemics.
The fact that the returns showed lit
tie increase over the previous week
was encouraging, state house officials
