KEEP COOL; KEEP
CLEAN AND DON'T
FEAR INFLUENZA

BY United Press,

BY United Press
New York, Sept IA minor epi
demic Of influenza is practically in
evitable throughout America this fall
according to Dr, Royal S. Copeland
commissioner Of health for New York
City
Influenza epidemics have always
swept countries in pairs, according to
Commissioner Copeland. The last one
in America prior to last winter was
in 1891, which was the minor appen.
dago to the major epidemic of 1890
Dr.. Copeland looks for the epidemic
this year to be muc9=lIshter than
that Of 1918, though MINOR epidemics
are often as bad as the major phase,
This was true Of 1891, he says. But
the fact that so many people were
affected last year gives added i'm
munity this year.
Speaking TO the United Press, DR..
Copeland said q have no doubt but
that we win have another epidemic
this year, though infinitely less vio-
lent than last years, when practical
ly every person was affected.
Seventy percent Of last years vic
Tins were between the age Of Is and
As. probably due to the fact that 50
many men were in training camps
May Attack Different Ages
MY only fear is that it will attack
another age group this year Appar-
emily the germs develop an appetite
for a certain kind Of food and choose
people Of certain age, though there
is no known explanation for the at
traction to certain ages"
Asked what could be done to pre-
pare, Dr. Copeland prescribed Soap
and water and fresh air"
Influenza is essentially a house
disease, he said apparently it
needs long continual contact to be-
come infected II is not like small
pox, which you could get in a minute.
You have to live with influenza to
get it.
"It naturally follows that out-of-
door life, sleeping with windows open
regardless of the weather, taking ex-
ercise, and using common sense with
regard to food, are the best preventa-
tives.
above all, avoid those who have
influenza, In families patients who
have influenza or colds ought to be
kept by themselves. They should not
associate with others.
Apparently the germs of influenza
are conveyed by the hands more cas-
lily than other ways. Everyone should
hvae clean hands, People should
make it rule to wash the hands and
face several times day with soap
nd water
No Cause for Excitement.
Commissioner Copeland says there
is no cause for excitement since the
board of health is watching symp-
toms of influenza the world over and
is cooperating with other boards of
health throughout America. 1t is
also working on vaccines.
MASKS are no good, 1t has been
