TO (RENA|N
OPEN, He
SAYS

The forces Of the District
health department are being
1narshalled by Health Officer
William Fowler to combat the
influenza epidemic now sweep
ing toward this city.
An organization based on his ex.
perience in fighting the epidemics
OF 1918 and 1920 already has been
eirawn up. DR.. Fowler said today.
TIlis organization, he said, will
arrange for immediate medical and
nursing attention for the victims.
DIR. Fowler estimates that the
peak ef the epidemic will reach this
city in February. Scattered cases
viii begin to appear several weeks
before, he believes.
Don't Get Paniclxy
The most important factor his
office must deal with is keeping the.
people from becoming panic-stricken,
DR.. Fowler said. He emphasized
that washington residents must not
become unduly alarmed by the
epidemic which has swept from
the Pacific coast to within 800
miles nf Washington.
All reports received from the
stricken territories indicate that the
present epidemic is in very mild
form and that the toll Of deaths
Is very small. IT can not compare
with the epidemics Of 1918 and
1920.
Not to Close Schools
Unless something unforeseen oc-
ours, Or. Fowler viii not close the
schools and theaters when the epi-
demic arrives he said. He pointed
our that the closing of the schools
and tf1eaters does not help to check
the disease and merely sends
crowds from one place to another.
DIR. Fowler said that his present
plans do not call for volunteers to
help fight the disease. He believes
that his present staff of nurses and
doctors viii be able to handle the
situation.
/ The best way to avoid contract
ing the disease, DIR. Fowler said
Is to indulge in exercise, keep the
feet dry, sleep in we'll yentilatd
rpmos and eat wholesome foods.
