BOGALUSA ENTERPRISE AND AMERICAN PUBLISHED IN ENTERPRISING BOGALUSA ISSUED EVERY THURSDAY AT 104-106 ALABAMA AVENUE SUBSCRIPTION RATES $1.50 PER YEAR IN ADVANCE :: PHONE 111 CLYDE S. MOSS ......OWN ER-PU BLISHER Entered as «-Kond-claas matter December 31. 1914. at the Postoffice at Bogalu Louisiana, under the Act of March 3, 1878. FLU ON THE RUN THOSE 1 influe ____WHO HAVE BEEN ALARMED OVER THE influenza situation can now feel greatly relieved, for there has been a decidedly big falling off in the number of new cases, not only in Bogalusa, but throughout the South. The situation in Bogalusa never alarming and only a few patients were seriously sick. One death was re corded, which was due to pneumonia. The manner in which the physician of Bogalusa worked, connected with the fine c o-operation given by the citizens, is, no doubt, responsible for the fine record made in fighting the dis ease here. Every physician in Bogalusa worked day and night, while the entire staff of the Bogalusa Hospital ren dered invaluable service. The Enterprise is of the opinion that the people throughout the state were over-excited, by the consistent manner in which some of the New Or leans papers featured the disease. Page after page of sensational advertising was run during the past two weeks, warning the public if'they were feeling bad to get in bed and call à doctor. It resulted in many a person going to bed with a headache, or a slight colçl, and we do not doubt that many persons just worried themselves until they ac tually thought they had the flu. We imagine that the doc tors had some mighty amusing cases. . Other cities the size of Bogalusa—Alexandria, Baton Rouge and Jackson—lost a score or more of citizens. To the health authorities and the weather man we offer oui congratulations on the fact that the flu is now being put out of business as fast as Kaiser Bill. k, ■ V 9T- DOING YOUR XMAS SHOPPING?
