The abOTe figures are exact. A
lady works In Dr. Pickers office who
does nothing but tabulate those fig
Aires each day and If a doctor doe
; not report by. 1 0 o'clock In the. mor
ning ah calls him on the phone and
completes her total, So the above fle
vres are absolutely correct and can
not disputed. If It has been con
trolled In the above . manner, the
mask must be admitted as an excel
lent preventative. If the people will
tie patient and adhere strictly to the
wearing of the mask It will only be
" tew days until the mask can be
abolished. . '-
-j Then the quarantine which Is now
a state law should be enough to keep
It down.' I wish to warn the public
, that the new state law requires that
srnere there are homes with one or
more people afflicted with influenza
that no member of that house or oc
cupant of that house is allowed to
..; leavo the home. . I wish It distinctly
understood that this law must be
lived up to and any one found en the
street from a home so afflicted will
tie Immediately; placed under arrest.
'j'Thto Is a matter of human lives
and the law will he no respector of
person when we are endeavoring to
protect lives. I beg of you to cooper
ate In every way, and disregard, the
sneers and. Jeers of those who seem
to care nothing for the welfare of
their fellow men, and abide by the
law and Medford can be kept free
from this dreaded disease.
