U. S. HEALTH SERVICE ISSUES WARNING Increase in All Respiratory Dis eases After the Influenza Epidemie Probable. Influenxa Expected to Lurk for Month?, How to Guard Against Pneumonia. Common Cold? Highly Catching-Im portance of Suitable Clothing-Could 8ava 100,000 Lives. Washington, D. Cv-With tho subsid ence of the cptdemic of influenza the' attention of health officers is directed! to pneumonia, bronchitis and other, diseases of the respiratory ' system^ which regularly cause a large numb or of deaths, especially during tho winter season. According to Rupert Blue, Surgeon General of the United States' Public Health* Service, these diseases' will bo especially prevnlent this win ter unless the people are particularly! careful to obey heal th Instructions. "Tho present epidemic," said Sur geon General Blue, "hos taught by bit ter experience how readily a condition beginning apparently as a Blight cold may go on to pneumonia and death. Although the worst of the epidemic ls over, there will continuo to be a large number of scattered cases, many of: them mild and unrecognized, which will be danger spots to bG guarded against," The Surgeon General likened tho present situation to that after a great fire, saying, "No fire' chief who understands his business stops playing tho hose on thc charred debris ns soon as the flames and visible Aro hnve dis appeared. On the contrary, he con tinues tho water for hours nnd even days, for he knows that there la dan ger of the tire rekindling from smol dering embers." "Then you fear another outbreak of Influenza?" he wa? asked. "Not neces sarily another largo epidemic," said the Surgeon General, "but unless tho people learn to realize the seriousness of tho danger they will be compelled to pay a heavy death toll from pneuroo. nln and other respiratory diseases. Common Colds Highly Catohlng. "It ls encouraging to observe that people arc beginning to learn that or dinary coughs and colds are highly catching nnd are spread from person to person by moans of droplets of germ laden mucus. Such droplets aro sprayed Into (be air when careless or Ignorant people cough or sneeze with out covering their mouth and nose. It ls also good to know that people have learned something about thc value of fresh air. In summer, when people aro lnrgcly out of doors, tho respira tory diseases (coughs, colds, pneumo nia, etc.) are Infrequent ; in the fall, as people begin to romain indoors, the respiratory diseases Increase ; In the winter, when people are prone to stay In badly ventilated, overheated rooms, the respiratory diseasea become very prevalent. Suitable Clothing Important. "Still another factor In the produc tion of colds, pneumonia and other re spiratory diseases ts carelessness or Ig norance of the people regarding suit able clothing during tho leesons When the weather suddenly chunges, sitting in warm rooms too heavily dressed or, what ls oven more common, especially among women, dressing so lightly that windows oro kept closed In order to ba comfortably warm. This ls a very In jurious practice. Could Save 100,000 Lives. "I believe we could easily eave ons hundred thousand lives annually in the United States if all the people would adopt tho ayatem of fresh air living followed, for example, In tuber culosis sanatoria. There la nothing mysterious about lt-no spoclflc medi cine, no vaccine. The Important thing la right living, good food and plenty of fresh air. Droplat Infeotlen Explained In Ptoturaa, .Th?

A few years ago, under slmllur circumstances, the health authorities would have Is sued an official dry but scientifically accurate bulletin teaching the role of droplet Infection in tho spread of re spiratory diseuses.
