The Health Department reported twelve deaths from grip last week, 100 per cent. inorease on the week before But {t ts sald that the proportion of deaths to the number of persons who are now afflicted and who are yet to fall to the ubiquitous bactll will be compara- tively emall. Doctors have more than they can do now in visiting patients who are home with the grip. It is sald there is hardly a business office in New York City where 20 per cent. are not absent on pick leave. * Dr. Wiliam Guilfoy describes the con- ditions which make the grip prevalent.

He has been stay- ing up too late at night; he has been eating ples and cakes Instead of tread ‘and meat, and he may have been drink- Ang alcoholic beverages.
