TEXAS INFLUENZA IS NOT
ALARMING.
12:
Reports to the state Department
of Health indicates a seasonal in-
crease in influenza, but there are no
indications of an epidemic in any
such degree as that which swept the
Nation with such disastrous results
during the World War, is the assur-
ance given Texans by Dr. George W.
Cox, State Health Officer.
“The number of cases reported
for the first two weeks in January
is not in excess of those reported for
the same period last year,” he said,
“and the situation does not call for
alarm, such as is likely to arise in
the minds of the people because they
recall the terrible destruction
wiought by influenza in 1918.
“Influenza is an acute, contagious
and highly infectious di ease, occur-
ring in epidemic and isolated tonn
and often characterized by sudden

ed prostration and a tendency to se-
vere complications of the lungs.

X pressive price appeal as well as eye appeal
to be selling so remarkably. And a car for car
comparison will convince you that you’ll do
better to invest in a Studebaker. You get the
extra value of Studebaker size, of Studebaker construction, engineering
and innovations ... and the almost incredible new Studebaker gas and oil
lavings which, by actual proof, equal or better those of lowest priced cars.
