Team-work against the "Flu." Beverly, Mass. Influenza broke out in February of this year, with dreadful weather conditions prevailing, but preparations to fight an epidemic of this sort had been made in advance by the cooperation of the Board of Health, the Public Health Dispensary, the Health Center, and the Red Cross. When the visitiation came, all was in readiness to combat it. Volunteers were notified to register at the Public Health Dispensary; food was to be at the Health Center, while supplies of linen, blankets, and clothing were to be given out and transportation arranged for at the Red Cross office. The picture above shows a party of helpers starting from Red Cross headquarters with blankets and other supplies for the sick [graphic].
