You should willingly co-operate in doing this and not necessitate the passage of an ordinance
which will make the wearing of a mask compulsory. "
OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING RULES
Masks should be worn when you enter
crowds, streetcars, stores, theaters, moving
picture houses, churches schools, and even at
norae.
The mask should consist of four layers of
butter cloth. Pattern of it will be shown in
the big stores. v
After you have worn the mask sterilize It by boiling for at least five minutes t
before you wear it again. Never wear a mask the second time, after having
removed it to go from one place to another.
Realize that the outside of the mask is con
taminated after use you can very readily
infect your fingers, and in this manner trans
mit the infection. '
Never visit people who suffer from a cold
without wearing a mask, because they may
have influenza, if only in a mild form. .
