FLU SITUATION Is GREATLY I'M
PROVED.
eU.SEEKrUpr SERNcEIrcNYc

Although several deaths due to in
fuenza have been reported in High
Point Monday there is apparently
some change in the situation for the
better.
Only few cases have been report
ed since Monday and it was reported
at Red Cross headuarters that no call
had been made for nurses. This is the
best news since the disease became
prevalent here that the organization
has not been requested to assist in Sc
curing number of volunteer nurses
and workers are inclined to believe
that the situation is steadily improv-
ing. Physicians believe that if fair
weather prevails during the next few
days there will be an early abate-
ment of the disease here.

columbia, State.)

DR.. Schayer professor of hygience
and sanitation at the University OF
South Carolina, recently issued the
following syllabus to the students on
means of prevention of influenza
eff you catch the influenza, it is
your own fault. There is nothing mys-
terious about the Influenza" DR..
! Schayer asserts. "You do not have
to have it. You are very apt to catch
it by eating it, or by permitting some
one to cough it or sneeze it into your
mouth or nose, or again he coughs or
sneezes it on your books, desk, pen
Gil, etc. You handle them, pick up the
influenza germ with your fingers and
the the next time you touch your food
or your lips, if your hands have not
first been thoroughly cleaned, you will
eat the influenza microbes. Clean
hands thoroughly including your fin
ger nails before eating. Clean and
peel any fruit before eating it. Don't
let any one talk, cough or sneee the
flu into you. Keep your nose, mouth
and throat flu free.
"a good cleansing wash for your
nose and throat is: Ten drops Of car
bolic acid, one teaspoonful of table
salt and two teaspoonsfuls of baking
soda to half a pint of water Rinse
your mouth and throat and sniff from
your cupped hand through your nose
5wo or three times daily. Drink
glass of water every hour. Ventilate
your rooms well. Don't sit or stand
N drafts. Don't let your feet get
wet. If you have bad cold have it
attended to at once. Don't cough or
'neee the flu into the class room. Be
air to your fellow students. Don't eat

Nearly every family has one or more

in its effects as it was last winter, but
it is more prevalent. The opinion is
that the number of cases is growing

There are only three doctors in the

is only a question as to the extent Of
their endurance and the druggists are
all overloaded with work. The manu-
featuring plants are all running with
considerably reduced force. The street

the same disaster as others. No one
can foretell the end nor what it will
