INFLUENZA DECREASING
District Health officer Reports on
County Conditions


The control of acute respiratory dis
eases in community requires the in
telligent cooperation of all the people.
This cooperation will not be secured
unless the people understand the ele-
mentary principles of the causes of hte
disease and their spred. The ways by
which the diseases are spread are nu-
merous and lengthy set of rules
would be required in order to stop all
the ways of infection. But the funda-
mental principles are simple and can
be easily understood by any ordinary
person.
A few important things that every
persons should know about acute in
fectious diseases including colds, grip,
influenza and pneumonia:
/. They are spread by means OF spit
and phlegm.
2. They are caught from other per-
sons who have the disease.
3. The most important preventative
measures are included in the rules OF
good manners and politeness
A. Keeping the hands, mouth and
nose clean at all times.
The number of cases of grip in this
district decreasing, last week only 80
cases were reported which is about
one half of the maximum A study
of these cases reported shows some
very interesting conditions, one is that
pneumonia complication is larger this
year than in 1918; and that no cases
of grip occurred in 1918 among people
who had II in 1890 and 1895, and only
two cases occurred this year among
people that had the disease in 1918.
The above is based on the reports OF
only one town but a town that furnish.
ed the largest number OF cases. This
is only one bit of evidence that people
who have the grip more than once are
the exception.
Report of communicable for the week
ending February 2S, 1920:
Influenza, 80; pneumonia, II;
mumps, 6; chicken-pox, 1.
Report for the state for the week
ending February 21:
Chieken-pox, SO diphtheria, 4; In
fluenza, 1914; measles, 95; mumps,
165: pneumonia 1856; scarlet fever q
typhoid fever, 8; whooping cough, 81.

BELGIAN CHAMBER
GIVES WOMEN VOTE
Catholics For It, Liberals Against,
Socialists Divided Fearing Re-
liuious Influence.

London, March 3.-The Belgian
Chamber has voted in favor of votes
for women twenty-one years of age.
as well as men, in communal elections
says the Brussels correspondent of
the London Times. All the Catholic
members voted for the measure and
all the Liberals, except Paul Hymans,
Minister of Foreign Affairs, and Bur.
gomaster Max, voted against it, while
the Socialists were divided between
their general principle of equality and
fear of religious influence. The Lib
erals considered that women are not
yet ready for the vote.
An amendment offered by Burgo-
master Max excluding women of mo
torious misconduct was adopted.
In view of the fact that voting at
elections is compulsory, the presence
of only one woman in the public gal
lery during the debate would seem
to indicate how little interest the wo-
men take in the question. s
