SubKriptioi $: 51.59 PRQVINOIAL iigGRRTARY'8 nitrAIRTi MgNT ONTARIO PROVINCIAL e0)I.R® OF 14 ALTs SPANISH INFLUENZA PRECAUTIONS The most striking symptons are: Sudden onset with velop a rough, somewhat dry and harsh at first. " `health authorities have the power under Section 56, ss. 2, of the Public Health Act to close schools, churches, theatres and other places of assemblage if it is deemed advisable to do $o.' Asked what the Board advises regarding the measure, we have said: 'The weight of public health authority is against closing such places, except perhaps in country districts, for the fol- lowing reasons, viz.: In cities and towns it is impossible to prevent children commingling in the streets and playgrounds where they are without the supervision found in the schools. Hence closing schools is more effective in country districts, Closing schools is economically wasteful, and usually has no influence on the course of an outbreak of disease like inflaaenza. Children are less likely to infect one another in the class -room than in the home or on the playground.' "As a rule better results will be achieved by a daily inspection of school children, such as for examples is maintained in cities like Toronto. "There is' no great danger of spreading the disease in churches, theatres and other assemblages, if these places are well ven- tilated. In any case, the good derived from closing places of assemblage is more than counterbalanced by the conditions in crowded street cars, railway cars, in large shops and in restaurants where food and dishes may be handled by persons having the disease. It would be just as rational and much more effective to stop all travel on street cars and trains and to stop people from entering shops, eating places, etc., as to close schools, churches, theatres, etc. "Health officers should do nothing inconsistent with the welfare of the public, likely to dislocate business or the ordinary affairs of life. They should not be moved from their duty by public clamor, to adopt fussy and ill-advised measures, which only serve to irritate the public and accomplish no useful purpose. If, however, the health officer of any municipality deems it his duty to utilize the section of the Act referred to, the Provincial Board will not interfere with him, but the Board not, for the reas- ons given, propose to ask its enforcement." Ontario is confronted with an epidemic of influenza which will in all probability affect more than half of our population. There is a shortage of physicians, nurses, and hospital accomodation. The health and efficiency of the civilian population must be maintained. It is the patriotic duty of every citizen to avoid influenza and keep in good health. To avoid influenza: Avoid contact with other people as far as possible. Especially avoid crowds indoors, in street cars, theatres, motion -picture houses, and other places of public assemblage. Avoid persons suffering from "colds", sore throats and coughs. Avoid chilling of the body or living in rooms of temperature below 65 deg. or above 72 deg, F. Sleep and work in clean, fresh air. Keep your hands clean and keep them out of your mouth. Avoid expectorating in public places, and see that others do likewise. Avoid visiting the sick. Eat plain, nourishing food and avoid alcoholic stimulants. Cover your nose with your handkerchief when you sneeze, your mouth when you cough. Promptly disinfect soiled handkerchiefs by boiling or washing with soap and water. Don't worry, keep your feet warm. Wet feet demand prompt attention. Wet clothes are dangerous and must be removed as soon as possible. chills, severe headache with pains in back and limbs, Many cases de - Change handkerchiefs frequently. bled In Edmonton Mr. A. II Carr, Calgary, Alta., was a welcome caller in town on Wednesday. Fifteen years ago Mr. Carr o wned the flour mills here and he is very much taken with the appearance of the old town. He isfarthebest town between say's it by a Calgary and Toronto. Mr. Carr and his brother-in-law Mr. Angus Sutherland of Calumet accompanied the remains of the late Mrs. Jane Sutherland to Lucknow where they were interred in the family plot in the Ashfield cemetery. Deceased died on Oct. 7th at Edmonton in her 81st year. She was for many years a respect- ed resident of Wingham.

WHAT TO DO FOR INFLUENZA AND COLDS Oftimes it is impossible to tell a cold from mild influenza. Therefore: If you get a cold go to bed in a well ventilated room. Keep warm. Keep away from other people. Do not kiss anyone, Use individual basins, and knives, forks, spoons, towels, handkerchiefs, soap, wash plates and cups. Every case of influenza should go to bed at once under the care of a physician. The patient should stay in bed ai least three days after fever has disappeared and until convalescence is well established. The patient must not cough or sneeze except when a mask or handkerchief is held before the face. He should be in a warm, well ventilated room. There is no specific for the disease. Symptons should be met as they arise. The great danger is from pneumonia. Avoid it by staying in bed while actually ill and until convalescence is fully estab- lished. The after effects of influenza are worse than the disease. Take care of yourself. The Late Nellie Burgess In Toronto on October 11th, the death occurred of Nellie, beloved youngest daughter of Mrs. Burgess and the late John Burgess. A brief illness of less than two weeks resulted in death, in spite of tender care. The funeral was heli at her mother's home on Monday afternoon, Rev. Crawford Tate conducting the ser- vice. Interment was made in Bluevale cemetery. The pall -bearers were Mr. Joseph Burgess, of Ottawa, brother; Mr. James Burgess, Brussels, and Messrs. James and Craik Cleghorn, cousins; Ml'. Wm. Wilson, Toronto, and Mr. Robert Aitcheson. Those from a distance who attended the funeral were Miss Annie Oliver, of Toronto, a niece; "Mrs. James Burgess and Mr. and Mrs. House, of Listowel; MVir. Herbert Burgess, I. P. S , and Miss Nellie Burgess, Owen Sound. The remaining brothers and sisters are John and Samuel, of British Columbia; Mrs. Watt, Boissevain, Man.; Joseph of Ottawa; James, of Listowel, who was too ill to attend the funeral; Mrs. Wm. Fraser, of Rush Lake, Sask., who is at present visiting her mother; and Miss Belle, at home, who attended Miss Nellie in her illness. Nellie Burgess was born in Bluevale and spent her childhood and schooldays here. Later she took a business course and spent some years ' in Toronto- as a stenographer. She was a successful busi- ness woman and much interested in her work. Her death is a great loss to her family and friends who always looked for- ward to the enjoyment of her bright visits. - The sympathy of every one is felt for Mrs. Burgess and her family in recent bereavements. Last year George died suddenly in Prince Edward Island, while only two months ago, on August llth. Lieut Walter I-1. Burgess, D S. O., a brave and capable officer, was killed in action in France. The family have the consolation of beautiful memories of these young people.
