them scattered all over the country
are the salt of the earth-the kind
of people the Lord specially liked
because he made so many Of them

ally follows the Influenza

Influenza.
Fresh outbreaks of Influenza in
widely separated parts Of the coun-
try justify every individual citizen
and every community in Virginia in
/ taking every sensible and reasonable
prccaution against the spread of the
disease. DR.. Ennion G. Williams, state
commissioner of health, declares. The
state board of health has never ccas-
ed it's campaign in prevention since
the subsdcncc of the epidemic last
spring and continues to rciternte
preventive measures. 1t calls on
every person to smother the cough
and snccze MS the germs Of Influenza
arc transmitted from one to another
by means of the drops Of spray that
have been snceZcd or coughcd i'm the
air by an effected person MS we'll as
by taking into the mouth something
that has been soilcd by the split OF
the sick person.
The commissioner of health urges
the following program on every in
dividual:
Influenza is conveyed by the fresh
sccretions OF the nose and mouth.
1. Avoid people who nrc coughing
or sneezing.
2. DO not attenud crowds or large
gatherings indoors or outdoors.
3. Keep three feet from persons
talking.
4. When you cough or snecze, cover
your nose or mouth with IL hnndker-
chief, or turn your fncc downward.
b. Don't use cup or other eating
utensils used by others without thor
oughly washing and boiling il.
6. Don't put into your mouth fing-
ers, pencils or other things that do
not belong there
z. Wash your hands before eating.
8. Eat plenty of simple, nourish-
ing food.
o. Sleep and work in room filed
with fresh mir, but keep the body
warm.
10. If you get influenza, go immc-
diatcly to bed to wnrd of pneumonia
and stay in bed severa days after
fever subsidies TO avoid subsequent
weakness.
