The epidemic of influenza, which has been prevalent in many military encamp-
ments for some time past, has spread over the Atlantic states and is now slowly
reaching out in the middle west. A serious condition exists in New England,
New Jersey, Pennsylvania and other eastern states. The condition in Chicago and
Illinois is becoming serious. In the entire states of Pennsylvania and New
Jersey, District of Columbia and many eastern cities, schools, theaters and all pub-
lic places have been closed and business seriously interfered with. Chicago is report-
ed to have 80,000 cases.

What to Do When Attacked.
•
DOn't - ger excited or frightened: If
you are otherwise in good health, the
chances are over 200 to I that you will
get well and be all right again in a short
time. .Quit work and go to bed in a
warm, well-ventilated room—that is the
big thing to do. Don't be foolish and
try to fight the attack through at work
or on your feet— that is absolutely the
surest way to bring on pneumonia,
which so often complicates the disease
and causes nine-tenths of all the deaths
that follow it. Take laxative to keep
the bowels open, but all other medicines
only on the advice of a physician, as
what may do good in one case may do
harm in another. If the patient has
been in poor health, or is over 60 years
of age, call a physician at once, as in-
fluenza is always serious in such cases.

How to Avoid Catching It.
A conference held in Chicago last
week, between army, navy, city and
state physicians, gave out the following
code of precautions:
Cover your mouth and nose with a
handkerchief or cloth when sneezing or
coughing, and compel everybody else
in your presence to obey the Health De-
partment order to do so.

The children in all public schools will
be closely inspected every morning, and
all with suspicious colds will be excluded
from school. The excluded children
will be visited in their homes by Depart-
ment nurses and kept under observa-
tion. All school childresn will take to
their homes small circulars giving direc-
tions and advice as to care and precau-
tions.
The Department of Health can do only a small portion of the work. If the
general public co-operates as it should, Detroit may pass through the epidemic
without going through the experience of eastern cities, and almost surely without
serious interference with our war work. .

"In guarding against disease it is im-
portant that the body be kept strong and
able to fight off disease germs. This
can be done by having a proper propor-
tion of work, play and rest; by keeping
the body well clothed and by eating suf-
ficient wholesome and properly selected
food."
All cafes and eating houses will be
inspected and all employes in dining
rooms or kitchens who have suspicious
colds will be excluded from work for the
proper time. Regulations are being is-
sued under which all food ready to eat
must be screened or kept where it can-

Detroit is giving a larger percentage of its industries to war work than any
other city in the country. All our great plants are on war contracts. A great part
of the aircraft, Eagles and motor trucks which will win the war depend on Detroit
for all or a portion of their parts. It is the patriotic duty of every citizen to make
a special effort to keep well and free from colds of any kind and to use all possi-
ble influence on others to prevent the spread of an epidemic which has already crip-
pled a part of the country.

The first symptoms may vary widely,
but the one most commonly present is
the severe aching—it may be only of
the head and particularly in the eye
sockets, or it may be of the entire body
and particularly of the joints. There is
often a chill or chilly sensation, followed
by fever. The patient feels thoroughly
sick—much more so than with an ordi-
nary cold. The symptoms of an ordi-
nary cold are generally present, but
may not be marked. In severe cases
there is often a marked suffusion of the
skin on the face and chest, and there
may be severe nose bleeding.
