THE DISEASE SITUATION

From what we have been able to
learn there is a decided Improvement
Throughout Trego county in the stu
alton of the contagious diseases, such
as small pox, scarlet fever and diph-
liberia, mentioned in the World two
weeks ago. Very few, n any, new
cases have been reported and the
families who were entertaining the
diseases are being turned out of
quarantine as rapidly as they pass
the danger line and as soon as their
homes are properly fumigated. How
ever, there is now new danger con-
fronting the public in the form of
yearly return visit of the Spanish in
huenza, or flu, such as swept over
this nation little over a year ago.
The disease does not seem to be as
bad this year as it was last year and
not SO many deaths from it are re-
ported This may be due to weaken
ing in the form OF the disease or to
the fact that the physicians are bet
ter prepared and the people more
precautions in handling it. At pres
ent there are five or six cases of fin
IN sTrego county and this number is
likely to grow very rapidly unless
people observe rules and advice issued
by the health department., the sub
| stance of the principal one of which
could be summed up like this: If you
have the flu, or if you think you have
| it, stay in and take care of yourseH
and don't expose others or let others
expose themselves to the disease
