In Salem Is Shown
By Health Reports
In apparent confirmation of fore
casts made by the more optimistic,
influenza is rapidly decreasing in Sa
lem, as is indicated by the small num
ber of reports received by city, health
officials during the past seven days.
Within this time there have been on
ly 11 new cases reported while near
ly 25 cases were released .from quar
antine. Two new eases of small nox have
been reported und quarantined, also
one case of ehlckenpox. A few cases
of pneumonia are also reported In
the city, there having been two deaths
from this cause during the past ten
days.
Despite the fact that tne flu ap
pears to be vanishing, health author
ities and physicians urge the public
to avoid nedless exposure such as in
large crowds or gatherings in poor
ly ventilated halls or rooms.
