CODY WILL GATHER STATISTICS ON INFLUENZA Health officials claim that it is the history of epidemics that they often recur a year later, and thesc officials are looking forward to and planning for the combatting of .an cpidemic of the so-called Spanish influenza a year hence in Aan even more aggravted form.

As a preliminary to this and for the purpose of more closely studying the disease the United States publio health service, has ordered all its local bureaus to -immediately siart an in- vestigation rcgarding ihe ravages of the’ past epidemic. Dr. H . ®,dy, P. A, surgeon, in charge of ti: New London district, including all of New London eounty, has recived instructions from 'Wash- ington, D. C. to conduct an investi- gation this ek.

Dates of the onset of cases. Relation, if any, to such factors as the number in family; the number of rooms occuied-and the economic sta~ tus. The classification of cases with ret- erence to type and severity Dr. Cody is instructed to see ‘that a house-to-house canvass is taken to provide a complete census of a suffi- cient number of population groups, so that in the aggrezate these will amount to a fair sample cf the tocal populatien of the city. This means that not less than 1,000 families (about 000 individuals) should be inluded in the census.
