DEPARTMENT CONTROL IHt INFLUENZA | _----r— We are in the midst of an influenza epidemic which has been i sweeping the country for several weeks. It must be controlled or a great loss of life will result. The public must c* -op rate and observe the regulations of the Health Department or little will be accomplished. If you do your duty you will have but little to fear. See to it that the following regulations are observed to I the letter: Assist In preventing gatherings *nd crowds. Insist on isolation of people with symptoms of influenza. Demand that all people who care : for influenza cases wear masks, also that they sterilize dishes and other ^ I articles from the sickroom. Boiling is the best means of sterilization. Save all possible energy, thus avoid ; ing fatigue, save energies for neces sities. Avoid marked changes in tempera ture without proper clothing ! Clean out. clean up and keep clean Inside and out, personally and other wise. ! Brush your teeth, gargle your throat and spray your nose with an tiseptic solution, •care to be taken not to use solutions strong enough to cause irritation. The following are good gargles: | (a)—Due teaspoonful of salt to a , quart of lukewarm water, (b)—One i tablespoonful of soda to a quart of i lukewarm water. Beware of “SURE CURES." J Remember that people can carry j intluenza for several days after they 11 think they are well. ! Report in writing to the health j department all cases where there is j seemingly neglect in carrying out the ' intent of the health department reg ulations. Do not take chances just because someone else does. They may have more personal resistance against in i flunza than you have Do not stand close to or directly in I fiont of one while talking, j Insist on everyone going home as j soon as they show any signs of influ enza. All who are willing to nurse (prac tical as well as graduates) at regular I siilary are requested to register at ) health department as soon as they j j are ready for duty i We most respectfully urge every l person to wear a mask as required by the order of the City Commission ers. The wearing of masks has proven i in army camps and other places to be beneficial in restricting the spread of Influenza. Let us benefit by willingly enter ing into this public duty without be j iug forced. j To make a mask take four or six ; layers of fine mesh gause or six to ; eight layers of coarse gause, or three layers of butter cloth 5x8 inches in size; attach tapes eight inches long to each of the four corners; stitch a bit of colored felt or tape on the side which is to be kept on the outer or uppermost side when wearing. An emergency mask may be made by folding comerwise a clean, closely ; woven handkerchief and tying the two corners behind the head. the other corners to hang below the chin, the upper margin crossing the nose Just below the eyes Fear only when you have not done your duty to yourself and fellow man. If you will see that these Instruc tions are properly observed by your self, as well as others, you will have but little to fear. Remember that one person can do more damage who does not observe these rules than 20 who do; hence see to it that they are observed. The success of this campaign ag ainst influenza depends upon your co-operation. Intelligent people will —others MUST co-operate. We ask your assistance in enforcing the reg ulations. Symptoms of influenza. First: Sometimes congestion of the nose and eyes. Second: Possibly a chill (not al ways.) Third: Aching of the head, back and limbs. Fourth: Sometimes sore throat and cough. Fifth: Fever (usually.) What to do if you have the symp toms. First: Go .to bed at once, do not wait. Second: Take a good physic (ep som salts.) Third: Keep nose and throat clean as advised in the preceding. Fourth: Keep warm and plenty of fresh air. Fifth: Light diet. Sixth. Cough or sneeze in cloth or paper napkin, and have it burned. Seventh: Protect others by keep ing away from them. - Eighth: Be quiet and don't worry. Ninth: Be examined by your fam ily physician. "Tenth: Do not wait until night be fore trying to get a doctor. Remem ber that he inis others to care* for and, therefore, must plan his calls. Eleventh: Don't be in a hurry to get out when you think you are well. Relapses are common and very dan gerous. Take a few days extra to r-st in the sunshine. Twelfth: As much care should be teken or the secretion from the nose and mouth for several days after your fever has gone as before be cause you can still infect ottiers. Thirteenth: Insist on those caring for you using every precaution to protect themselves and others; viz., wearing a mask, a large apron or gown, disinfecting the hands, steri lizing dishes and other articles from the sick room.

Some get-rich-quick concerns are en doavoring .to persuade patriotic Lili berty bond holder*, whom they know 1 will not sell outright their Liberty ; bonds, to turn over their Liberty bonds to these companies as security for a loan and with the money thus borrowed purchase stock in their companies. I A Liberty Loan bond is the safest investment in the world and a pru ! dent man will very carefully Inves | tigate any effort to induce him to ex S change it for a less safe investmnt. This lending one money on Lib erty bonds as security to purchase stock in the lender’s company is in i many cases only a thinly disguised i method of exchanging stock of doubt ; ful value for Liberty bonds of unques i tioned value. j It is a good business and it is patri I otism to hold your Liberty bonds.
