Phone 119 WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 16, 191$ I THE GRIP EPIDEMIC Whether or not. the grip epidemic, which has caused such serious concern throughout the county during the I past ten days, is of German origin, the number of its victims has recently been increasing so rapidly that dras! tic steps throughout the nation are called for. The. latest reports from the Surgeon-General's Office unfortunately indicate that the disease is as yet unchecked in army camps, and the Government has considered it necessary i to issue a warning to the effect that all possible steps should be taken to I prevent conditions from becoming 1 even worse throughout the country. I It is said that reports have been received showing the presence of the disease in every one of our states except five. The condition at our national capital, with its overcrowded ! offices, hotels and dwellings, has become so serious that extraordinary precautions are being taken?orders having been issued for the immediate closing of theaters, dance halls, moving picture housesT etc. The Wash- j | ington schools have already been clos j ed,. and the time of opening stores j i and public offices is also being reguii i j ted in order to avoid dangerous crowded conditions on street cars, i The hospitals are already filled to | capacity and two buildings have been I taken over by the Government to be i used for the treatment of war work- j I ers. Unfortunately the condition in j Washington seems to be a fair exam! pie of the situation in overcrowded | districts in many other parts of the country, and there is need for complete co-opeation on the part of the public authorities and people generally wherever the disease appears. While the situation in certain parts of the country is undeniably acute on account of the large number of persons affected, fortunately, in almost every instance the health authorities Are proving able to check the spread of the disease shortly after its appear ance; moreover the percentage of fatalities is comparatively small. People should bear in mind the fact, how ever, that while there is no reason for j any great alarm or panic about the j matter, it is important for everyone' to exercise unusual care as to health ! | and all should aid in every possible ! ! way to prevent the spread of the cpi- ; ; deniic and to combat it wherever it j i appears.
