CONTAGIOUS COLDS
EPIDEMIC IN CITY;
RAIN WOULD HELP
Health Department Head Says
No Danger From Affection.
No Flu Or Pneumonia Re-
ported This Season.

Infectious colds in such numbers
that II has almost reached epidemic
proportions are causing no end OF
discomfort to Memphians.
There are two kinds of colds. aC-
cording to DR.. J. ]. Durrett, super
intendent OF the city health depart
ment. One form is contagious and
the other is not.
The brand with which so many
people in Memphis are affected is the
contagious kind, DR. Durrett says
and unless there is rainfall here soon
II will probably spread to all parts
of the city.
DR.. Durrett is speaking from ex-
perience for he Is suffering from n
very severe cold himself and Is only
one OF many city employees similarly
affected.
THE germs of cold are spread by
the fine particles of dust which fly
in the air. A good rain just about
now would help matters whole lot
and ! am hoping that IT will rain
soon.
80 far this season the health de-
partment has had no cases of influ-
enza or pneumonia reported but il
flu germs are prevalent n person af-
fected with heavy cold is, of course,
more susceptible"
The epidemic Of colds, according
to DR. Durrett. is nothing for the pub
lie TO become alarmed over and aside
from the personal discomfort of the
sufferer there is not necessarily any
danger.
He pointed out, however. that per.
sons suffering with n cold should
always cover their mouths when
sneezing and should use every pre-
caution possible to avoid spreading
the germs among their friends and
neighbors.
The city health department of
Memphis is prepared to combat any
outbreak of the flu, If such a thing
should occur. but health authorities
do not anticipate any such outbreak

AIRY OF s2250 per year, and has decid-
cd to accept the place.
Mr. Hall has attended the Texas
University during his vacations and
has done work equivalent to five full
years during that time, which he has
done in order TO better equip him
self for meeting the problems of pres
ent day modern school work, and had
planned 10 quit the school room for
the next two years and attend the
University but the temptation was too
great TO resist such flattering offer
and especially from a school town
like Snyder, that has such bright
future and where the possibilities are
so great for building up really Of
clent school system.
Mr.. Hall has b en- superintendent
here for three years, and under his
administration the schools have been
admitted to the first class by the
State Department of Education and ar
now IN line Of afillction. Our sys-
tenn o. schools are q source OF great
pride to the citizenship OF Slaton In
dependent District and Mr. Hall de
serves much credit for the progress
they have made.
