The Topeka Daily Capital, Thursday, October 17, 1918 October 17, 1918
One Hundred New Cases In Topeka Total Is Now 663.

Indications Point to Continuation of Closing Order in Topeka for Another
Week--Death Total is 17.

State is Short of Physicians.

Two Localities Wire State Board of Health for Assistance--Dr. Crumbine Wires
Surgeon General Blue.
One hundred new cases of influenza in Topeka were reported yesterday to the city
health department. The total number of cases in Topeka is now 633. Yesterday
marked the highest number of new cases reported. In the opinion of Dr. H.L.
Clark, the large number of new cases may not necessarily indicate a marked
increase of the spread of the influenza here, but it may be the result of the
order that all cases must be reported. At any rate, the general consensus of
opinion at the health department office is that Topeka still faces a serious
situation, and that the patriotic duty as well as the most practical thing for
every one is to watch the situation carefully and to do all that is possible to
do to avoid contagion.
