Prevent An Epidemic.
The epidemic of flu, whooping
cough, and other diseases which is
general over the county has not
taken toll In Hermiston up to this
time, but it is the duty of every in
dividual and parent to assist school
officials and health officers in keep
ing such a condition in our commun
ity.
If a student has a cold and is feel
ing badly, it is better for him to be
absent from his classes for a day or
two rather than expose himself and
his classmates, and prolong his ill
ness. We speak of the student be
cause it is in the school that these
epidemics first become acute, due to
the close association In the class-
rooms.
With the drop in temperature,
colds and flu will be more in evi-
dence, but with every individual
taking extra precaution an epidemic
can be prevented.
