Flu Epidemic Bad
In Albuquerque

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS biggest in
f1uenza outbreak since the epidemic
of 1918 is being experienced in AL
buquerque, according to DR.. J. R.
Scott, county health officer For
ty-two cases of the disease originat-
ing over the weekend were report
ed to the department Monday.
The health department is en-
phasizing the danger of crowds
gathering in public places during
the present outbreak. There is al
so a great deal of danger of infec-
tion through indiscriminate cough
ing and sneezing, DR.. Scott said.
The department is urging every
one to cover the mouth and nose
with handkerchief when it is
necessary to cough or sneeZe.
Infected persons, according to
health department rules, must be
isolated until their temperature has
been normal five days. Exposed
members must be quarantined for
four days from the date of the last
exposure.
Active cooperation on the part
of the public in checking the out
break can possibly prevent it's be-
coming very serious according TO
Dr. Scott. Otherwise, it may as
sumo exceedingly serious proper
