PREVENTING INFLUENZA
Columbia State.
Dr. Schayer, professor of hygiene
and sanitation at the University of
South Carolina, recently issued the
following syllabus to the students on
means of prevention of influenzaia:
"If you catch the influenza, it is
your own fault. There is nothing
mysterious about the influenza," Dr.
Schayer asserts. "You do not have to
have it. You are very apt to, catch it
by eating it, or by permitting some
one to cough it or sneexe it into your
mouth or nose, or again he coughs or
sneeses it on your books, desk, pencil,
etc You handle them, pick up the in
fluenza germ with your vngers and the
the next time you touch your food or
your lips, if your hands have not first
been thoroughly cleaned, you will eat
the influenza microbe. Clean hands
thoroughly including your finger aaiW
before eating. Clean and peel any
fruit before eating it, Dont let any
one talk, cough or sneexe the 'Au into
you. Keep your nose, mouth and throat
flu' free.
"A good cleansing wash for yeuy
