    1. [KS-OLD-NEWSPAPERS] Influenza News and Three More Deaths In Topeka, February 3, 1920; Part 2.
    2. Jim Laird
    3. The Topeka Daily Capital Tuesday February 3, 1920 Three Deaths In Topeka. Sixty-Four New Cases Reported: Need Nurses. Three deaths and sixty-four new cases reported, is the influenza score for Topeka and vicinity for Monday. This is the record number of cases reported since the dread disease bagan playing its return engagement. The deaths of Martin Paul FITZGIBBONS, 28, 104 North Clay street; Mrs. Theresa GARCIA, 31, 517 East First street, and Frank KRUGER, 34, of near Elmont. The death of Frank Kruger, wich occurred last night at the emergency influenza hospital, opened at the Garfield school building, Thirteenth and Quincy, yesterday by the city health department, is the first in a a family of eight, seven of whom are ill with influenza. Unable to get a nurse, the others members of the family, that of Charles Kruger, a brother of Frank, are uncared for at the farm home, a mile north and a mile east of the Prairie Home cemetery. Frank Kruger returned from Illinois a week ago, ill, and, it is believed, brought the disease with him. He was brought to Topeka in the Shellabarger ambulance yesterday afternoon. Neighbors of the Kruger family keep them on the porch, but are afraid to enter the house. Dr. O.F. MARCOTTE, coroner is trying to find a nurse to care for the family. The influenza emergency hospital at the Garfield school was opened in the afternoon and nine patients were admitted for treatment. Everything was made ready to handle these cases and all that is needed now is more nurses, according to Dr. Earle G. BROWN, city health officer. The Red Cross issued an appeal to all nurses who have taken the Home Nursing course or who have a practical knowledge of nursing to volunteer their services, for which ample remumeration will be made. Several cases of pneumonia now are being treated by local physicans, who are rapidly becoming overworked. Office hours have been abandoned by many of the practitioners and they spend their time going from one patient to another. Mrs. C.C. BAILEY, public health nurse supervisor, is wondering how she can find the needed nurses to care for patients. Out of a list of eighty-five graduate nurses on her list she has been able to secure the services of only four. Every other nurse in the city is busy with patients. Several physicians are calling for nurses, but are unable to find them. The emergency hospital is throughly equipped and every possible preparation made to give the best hospital service. A cook has been secured and excellent food will be served. Doctor Brown asked last night that no telephone calls be made before 9 o'clock each morning. The reason is that the nurses will not have completed their work before that time and probably will not have the information that relatives or friends want. After that time all information may be secured. At present there is no necessity of closing the schools or all public meetings. Doctor Brown is urging that all meeting not absolutely necessary be postponed for the time being. This will prevent the spread of influenza to some extent.
