Observe These Rules!
Help Stop Influenza

Dir. Ropal s. Copeland pestcr-
day complied and ISSUED the fol-
loWiug precautionary measures
agcinst spreading i7idte',:o and
pneumonia:
Respect the law against spit
ting. The germs OF influenza can
be carried this way.
Respect the law prohibiting
dry sweeping or shaking rugs or
permitting the accumulation Of
dirt in public places. Report vio-
lations TO the Department of
Health.
Landlords and janitors must
supply sufficient heat in buildings.
Cover the mouth and nose care
fully when coughing or sneezing,
for the spray is more dangerous
than bullets. Especially is this
important in subways and other
dangerously crowded places.
Wash the hands before each
meal, and avoid placing fingers in
the nose or mouth.
If you have a cold, running
nose, cough. sore throat, chilli
ness or fever remain in bed and
in a room by yourself. Thus you
will prevent your illness from be-
coming serious or spreading to
your family or friends.
