ations and contracting. He owns

HEALTH BOARD ISSUES
WARNING
Order All Suffering With Colds to Re.
main Home; Grip Apparent

Following a careful survey of the
| influenza situation in the state dur
ing the last week the state board of
health has issued statement advis-
ing the Tightening of precautions to
| prevent a recurrence of last years
epidemic. Except in Milwaukee,
where few cases have been reported,
the state appears as yet to be quite
free from the disease.
There are evidences, the board de-
clares, of an increased number of
cases of so-called grip that do not,
however, partake of the character of
| influenza, and the question arises
whether these might not be a fore
runner of the recurrence of the "flu."
Grip Not Influenza
"The indication to date show" says
the board, that influenza is not ASSOC
ciated in any considerable degree at
least with the type and character of
| illnesses concerning which the board
has knowledge. This does not mean
there are not few cases Of FLU in
certain sections of the state Milwau-
kee reports a number of cases, and the
health authorities there are watching
the situation very closely. There is
an apparent epidemic of flu at the
Great Lakes Naval Training station
and Chicago reports the prevalence of
this malady there to a considerable
extent, with some fatalities.
Watch Cases Closely.
The board asks citizens not to ex-
pose themselves unnecessarily to So
| called grip or other maladies simulat-
ing colds, and demands that all indi-
viduals i'll with the grip take special
| precautions to remain at home and,
preferably, in bed until all acute
symptoms have subsidized and danger
| passed.
All cases of this character must be
| placarded, whether it be grip or in
| fiuenza, and the cases reported to the
local health officer, within twenty
| four hours. There are no indications
at present that public gatherings
should be prohibited. but the influenza
of last year should emphasize to all
authorities having control of public
gatherings that all persons afflicted
with severe colds or coughs must be
excluded"

IMPROVEMENTS AT
~ w., ST. MARYS
ADDITION DOUBLING ITS
/. CAPACITY TO BE ERECT
ED THIS YEAR-READY

AS early the coming spring as pos
sible, the new addition to St. Mary's
hospital will be commenced The
Pilot gave full description of this
prospective addition last October. It
| is now nearing the time to lay plans
for the work of construction.
There is no one who can say that st.
Mary's hospital has not been a bless
ing to our city and county, since its
completion in 1907, it has kept filled
with patients most of the time, and an
occasion of much sickness it could
not accommodate more than half the
number making application.
The new addition will double the
present capacity of the hospital. 1t
will be placed on the south side of the
present building and it will face
south. The plans show a very hand
some structure and were Drawn by
Oppenhamer & Obel, city architects.
The building will occupy space la
x44 and it will be three stories high
with commodious attic In which
rooms can be placed II will be sep
arated from the present hospital by
ten feet with large connecting corri-
doris. 1t will be constructed of fire
proof materials and the exterior will
be fully as handsome as the present
hospital and it will have fully as
beautiful an outlook 1t will contain
go rooms. On each floor in the GEN.
ter will be solarium where the pat
tents can get the full benefit OF the
sun in favorable weather.
A feature will be a maternity ward.
On the first floor will be an x-ray
room. 1t may contain rooms for all
kinds of baths, but this is not fully
decided upon. 1t will be steam heat
ed; have an electrical flash light sys-
tenn throughout. In the basement is
to be a garage of concrete sufficient
to hold seven cars.
There are now 81 sisters attending
to duties in the hospital. The institu-
ton has the reputation of being
scrupulously sanitary in every respect
and 1t is pleasure to have such q
place where the sick can be taken.
The citizens of Wausau appreciate
this excellent institution. They helped
to build the hospital and will assist in
putting up the addition. Wausau or
any other city cannot have too many
good hospitals and every cent given
for this cause is good investment
The new addition will cost $3.50, 900.
The sisters can struggle along and
pay part of it. but they should have
substantial assistance.
In the Memorial hall in ST. Mary's
hospital are two bronze memorial
tablets, one for the late r. E. Parcher
and the other for the late Neal Brown.
These gentlemen assisted materially
in making st. Mary's hospital possible.
There will be memorial hall in the
addition which is to be built, let
other names of public spirited men
be placed upon its walls. 1t is hoped
to complete the building by the sum-
mer of 1921.
