night following a comparison of condi-
tons at this time with those of the pre-
vious years.
"On the eighth day of the 1918 cpl
demic," he said. 1894 cases of influenza
were reported. Today is the eighth day
of the spread of the disease this year
and but 3s6 cases have, been reported
for the past "a hours. This .ear's low
er death rate, in proportion indicates
that the disease is not nearly so virulent
as in 1913 or 1920, and, therefdsl, moi
