ANOTHER YEAR
 IN INFLUENZA
Disease Must Rage Until All Susceptible Per
 sons Have It.

Spanish influenza is not expected by the state department of health to die out in Connecticut before two years. This opinion was expressed yesterday by Commissioner of Health John T. Black and pr. T. Elben Reeks, director of the bureau of preventable diseases.
 To put it plainly, these officials have concluded that all residents of the state will have to stand the in fuenza test before the disease wears itself out. A large percentage of the residents have been found to be nat urally immune, while others are read lily susceptible. Until the greater number of the susceptible ones have come into contact with the disease, it will continue to develop in various districts.
 The physicians ascribe the recur- renee of the recent epidemic at pres ent in different parts of the state to the fact that these sections escaped the full force of the previous cpl demic. Susceptible persons who did not come into contact with influenza when it was at it's height are believed by the health department to have es- capped it then merely because they were not exposed to the germ. It be- lieves that persons now afflicted have since come into contact with it.
 Both doctors said that it could not be impressed upon the public too strongly that the most practical way to keep down the number of influenza cases and subsequent mortality was for persons with colds, however slight they might consider them to be, to remain away from public gatherings. They pointed out that, for one person in an office or workroom to continue. at his work while bothered with a cold, was not altruism to his employ CTS but an injustice to his room mates

white people became interested in him and made It possible for him from that time on to secure a white mans education, finishing by gradu ating from Dartmouth College and Boston University Dr. Eastman will appear in the full wild costume of a Sioux chief while delivering his lec- ture,
 Those who have read his book or heard him lecture agree that the av- craze person has a very imperfect conception of the real North Ameri- can Indian. Dr. Eastman is proba- bly, the most educated and prominent Indian in America and is in the em- ploy of the United States government in helping the government, solve some of the most difficult questions relating to the Indians. He is an exceedingly eloquent, witty speaker whose lecture is also full of pathos as he truly pictures the real Indian. Dr. Eastman has very remarkable ability as an orator and his very unique subject will undoub tedly make him one of the most interesting speakers to be heard in Bridgeport this winter. All men and boys over 11 years of age are cordially invited to this mass meeting.
