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.
I
| Again we wish to express our ap- j
! preciation to our friends and patrons j
j who have so kindly renewed their j
j subscriptions, since we were " forced J
' to take their names off the mailing!
i list October 1st. As we have stated j
! before, many of these were some of j
j our oldest and best subscribers and j
j we regretted very much to do what j
j we did, hut we had to obey the or;
dors of the "War Industries Hoard. "Wo
i hope no one will get offended hut will
j all do as a great many have already
j done, renew their subscription and
let the old county paper come on.
