compliance with the provisions OF the
decree Of July 81, 1918. The Mexican
government for the purpose Of showing

for companies to drill wells, providing
they subject themselves to the law
which will be enacted by the Mexican
congress.

INFLUENZA IS AGAIN
EPIDEMIC IN OHIO
Death Rate Is Higher PrOpOrtiOnately
Than In December State Health
Officer Says.

Columbus, Ohio, March 12-Ohio is
in the grip Of the third wave of the
influenza epidemic, State Health Com
missioner A. w. Freeman declared to-
day. A strange feature about it, he
said, is the severity of the attacks.
While not nearly so virulent as in the
October epidemic, the case are more
severe than in December, he said.
The death rate is higher according
to its number of cases than in De-
cember, he said, although the number
of cases are fewer Persons attacked,
therefore, should take the illness SER
iously, and take every precaution
against pneumonia, DR.. Freeman
urges.
DR.. Freeman believes this to be the
last recrudescence of the disease I'M
til next fall. Continued warm wealth
er, he predicts, practically will end
the epidemic.
