This disease la prevalent in On- tario nowand w.hile *many are af- flicted, it la flot the severe type that was observed in 1918. Influenza la higbly communicable. The disease, thoug<h it may be sev- ere, la of itsellf rarely fatal. 'The severity of even the =!Id case la remarkedly increased by respira- tory or intestinal comnplications. How to Avocid Flu 1. Avoid crowds. 2. Exercise in the open air. 3. Get sufficient sleep in a wel ventilated rt i 4. Wlash your face and hands fre- quently especially before eating. 5. Cover your nose and mouthl with a clean han.dkerchief whený aneezing or coughing. People near you are entitled to this protection. 6. Don't vlait or corme ini contact with those tihat have the infection unless necessity demanda It. 7. Don't worry aiout the "Flu." How to Know Flu The disease usu.ally aât~a rather abruptly with an "out of sorts" feeling, indefinite pains and aches, jcold ïn the head or slight eouglh, fever, and sometimfflvoaiting or diarrhoea. Negleet of these synip- tomns of onset may lead to pneurnon- ia and change a ffnild case into a severe one. How to fight Flu 1. Go to bed Tmmediately. 2. Stay in bed till you are abso- lutely well. Rememnber the. period of get- ting well is longer than the tinue actually ill. 3. Keep your roosu at a tempera- ture of 6&,F and well ventilatd 4.
