BOARD ADVISES
MORE CARE USED
IN THE HOMES
(Continued from Page One,
diate reporting by every physician
or, if no physician is in attendance,
by the head of the house, of all
cases of communicable disease, in
cluding influenza, and we recom
mend that in localities where the
secretary of the local board of health
cannot always be reached that a
suitable place be provided where
these reports 'may be received."
Before action was taken Governor
Neville gave a review of the way in
which the officials tried to handle
the epidemic during the previous
order. Major Leader of the War
department told of methods used in
the army. !
Dr. Wild of the state board spoke
of dissatisfaction caused by different
methods of fighting the spread of
the disease.
He said the duration of the disease
is'from four to eight days. The tem
perature usually goes to normal aft
er 72 hours. Those affected should
remain in bed at least a week, and
not resume their normal work for at
least two weeks. Vaccine, he said,
has not proved satisfactory, and is
as yet In the experimental stage.
Due to perspiration and the prox
imity of the bodies, dancing is one
of the surest ways to spread the
disease. Neighbors should not be
allowed to call and no one should
he allowed in the sick room except
the nurse and physician.
Manning Gives Talk.
In the afternoon addresses .were
made by Rev. W. B. Moore, of Hol
brook, who did not believe in the
quarantine; Dr. Ely of Ainsworth
who was strongly in favor of quar
antine, Representative Trimble of
Hazard, who thought the matter
ought to be left to the state board
and Dr. Conway of Neligh, who was
for absolute quarantine.
Dr. Manning, city health commis
sioner of Omaha, made an interest
ing address, prefacing his remarl.s
by saying that there were 250.000
people in Omaha and 150.000 of hem
have opinions regarding the handling
of influenza, and most of them had
given their opinions to him. He
was opposed to the quarantine as it
applied to the handling of the epi
demic in Omaha. He, believed the
most effective way to handle the
disease was to send people home at
the very slightest suspicion that
they were going to come down with
it and then keep them there' until
long after there was danger. The
crowds shotrfd be kept down.
Activity of Germ.
Dr. Manning told of tests made as
to the distance the disease could be
communicated. He said that in or
dinary conversation the germ would
reach four feet.while in sneezing
or coughing they were communi
cable at 12 to 15 feet. He said the
disease was hard to handle because,
unlike smallpox, diphtheria, scarlet
fever and like diseases, there were
no advance symptoms to indicate
4he disease. He opposed the general
use of the flu' mask, except in the
sick room. He believed it more of
a disease spreader than a preventive.
He believed the disease would be
with us all winter and in that belief
he thought action should be taken
at once, of some kind.
Attorney General Reed was called
upon to give the legal aspect of
the proposition and the authority
which county, village and city boards
had in the matter of handling the
tiiscase.
He exhibited a flu mask he had
captured in Wyoming, which was
nothing more than, a piece of cheese
cloth with common .twine for
strings.
Malted Mik was originated by Horlick.

signment by General Pershing of the

WILSON AND VICTOR WILL
MEET, NOT EAT, TOGETHER.
