warns AGAINST RETURN OF THE FILL"

Within the past ten days new cases
CT Spanish influenza have made their
appearance in this city, says Dr. E. J.
Brophy the city health officer. AS near
as can be determined the first cases
were contracted by people who have
recently visited or worked out of town,
as the local situation had been particu-
larly free from the disease for the
PAST seven weeks. Members of the
households in which one case exist
ed have become victims of this i'll
ness. The number of eases is not
large, there being. as near as can be
estimated, about fifteen i'll Of the dis
ease. but in order to prevent inf1uen-
"a from spreading the health depart
ment advises that people refrain from
out of town visiting and also from
calling on sick people unless i. is
known that the patients are not i'll OF
this disease. If people persist in Wis
iting cases of influenza and continue
out of town visits we shall nave a fur
ther increase in the number of cases
and possibly an epidemic. Further the
| health department recommends that
| people who are coughing and sneezing
| should cough or sneeze into, their
| handkerchief and those who do not
| follow up this advice should be avoid
ed and condemned by all citizens. This
applies particularly to those who at
| tend large gatherings. 1t is hoped by
| these means that it shall not be nee
| eSSary to take further action; but
| whenever conditions warrant the pro-
rer remedies shall be applied.
All families who have any victim;
of the disease in their households arc
cautioned to keep the sick one iso-

lated by closing the bedroom door
and allowing only one person to take
care of the patient. Also, the eating
and drinking utensils Of these pa
tents should be separated from those
of the rest of the family and all dis
charges from the nose, mouth and eyes
should be collected into cloths and
should be burned.
AS far as it is known this disease
is not carried by thNd person but it
is necessary. in order to contract the
influenza, that contact be had with
one who is i'll of the disease. About
all of the surrounding towns are af-
feeted to some extent with influenza.
This disease IS very prevalent in
the central part of the state. partic-
ularly around Manchester, but it has
been found in great many instances
that the cases exist chiefly among
those who escaped before. There are
being reported from two hundred to
three hundred cases daily TO the state
department of health covering all
parts of the state.
Physicians are notified to report al
cases to the office of the health de-
partment between the hours of ant
y and 2 to 3. either by telephonins

MAYPOLE SKATE WAS
NEW YEARS FEATURE

The New Year was ushered in at the
Olympic skating rink on Wednesday
evening in slashing style by winding
up the last half hour of skating with a
Maypole skate. which proved to be a
pretty sight. The large crowd entered
into the celebration in fine style and
for a while if Kaiser Bill had been
within hearing he surely would have
thought the Yanks had broken loose
again. On Thursday evening it is ex-,
rected another big night, when the
girls race for the championship of the
