C.?(Speciul.)?According to n report made to the United States Public Health Service, the epidemic of Influenza in Spain has already caused an increase In the prevalence and deaths from pulmonary tuberculosis. A similar association between Influenza and tuberculosis was recently made by Sir Arthur Newsholme, the chief medical officer of the English public health service, In his analysis of the tuberculosis death rule In England. *11 uiuci inni nit; UI llie I. lined States may profit by the experience of other countries Surgeon Geneml Rupert Blue of the United States Public Health Service hus Just issued a warning emphasizing the need of special precautions at the present time. "Experience seems to Indicate," says the Surgeon General, "that persons whose resistance has been weakened by an attack of influenza are peculiarly susceptible to tuberculosis. Witb millions of its people recently affected with influenza this country now offers conditions favoring the spread of tuberculosis." One Million Consumptives in the United States. "Then you consider this a serious menace?" was asked. "In my opinion It Is, though I hasten to add It Is distinctly one against which the people can guard. So far as one can estimate there are at present about one million cases of tuberculosis in the United States. There i? unfortunately no complete census available to show exactly the number of tuberculosis per sons in each state despite the fact that most of the states have made the disease reportable. In New York city, where reporting hns been In force for many years, over fin,000 cases of tuberculosis are registered with the Department of Health. Those familiar with the situation believe that the addition of unrecognized and unreported cases would make the number nearer .10,000. The very careful heultli survey conducted during the past two years In Framlngham, Mass., revealed 200 cases of tuberculosis in a population of approximately 1.1,000. If tbese proportions hold true for the United States as a whole they would Indicate that about one In every hundred per sons is runencuious. Kacli of these constitutes a source of danger to be guarded against." What to Do. In his statement to the public Sur geon General Blue points out how those who have had influenza should protect themselves against tuberculo sis. "All who have recovered from la Anenza," says the Surgeon General "should have their lungs carefully ex amined by a competent physician, lc fact, it Is desirable to have several ex amlnatlons made a month apart. Sucti examinations cannot be made througl the clothing nor can they be carried out In two or thrM ntlnntu I# lungs are found to be free from tuber culosls every effort should be made t< keep them so. This can be done bj right living, good food and plenty o ^resh air." Danger Signs. The Surgeon Oeneral warned espe dally against certain danger signs such as "decline" and "colds whid hang on." These, HtrfMplatiied, were often tlx beginning ^fcinberculosla. "If yon d< not.g a will promptly, If your cob ading stai hsgfi^on or your health am atent medldedlne, remember that thesi peclflc med? the early signs of tnberculo ulosls. yourself at once under tin jedb-le^a^ competent physician.

Every one, at some tline or other, has doubtless come upon the unfortunate spectacle of a big autotruck stuck In a rut?perhaps holding up ! truffle. The next time you encounter j such n catastrophe recall the expert; ence described hy Edwin I.. Purkens In Popular Mechanics Magazine. ami you I will tic able to offer valuable suggestions at a moment when such sugges. tlons count for their full value. Mr. : I'urkess writes: **A henvy nuto truck became mired In a deep rut on n country road, and fho Hrivor ** 1 f limit acctutonon nrtrl with only the nuto Jnck available. w?* forced to devise some means of again getting his machine nnder way. The ' method employed waa so aitnple and effective that It may he of Intereat to ! most motorists. Two saplings were set : across slabs of wood, laid on 'either side of the truck wheel. Then the tallboard chnln was rigged between the saplings Just Inside of the wheel. A tourniquet of rope was made with a | small stick, and fastened to the free j ends of the saplings. The Jack was set j nnder the rim of the wheel, and as the I latter was lifted the tourniquet and the l tailboard chains were drawn up to , bring the saplings close against the i wheel. By this means the wheel was I gradually lifted out of the rut. and i extra slabs p'aced under It so that the : truck was then easily driven to solid j ground. Slabs were also plied under j the axle as a precaution. In case the | wheel should slip back Into the rut." I GOOD-BY TO THE CRUTCHES Artificial Limbs So Cleverly Devised j That Legless Men Have No Difficulty In Walking. There need be no legless soldiers to hobble pitifully along the streets after this war. An American army surgeon has devised a new type of artificial leg which can be manufactured by lTncle Sam for about $2f? nnd which will almost perfectly reproduce the action of n natural leg. even If the soldier has only a stump left. It means good-by to crutches, declares the New York Evening Post. This remarkable triumph of American Inventive genius was described at the New York Academy of Medicine by MaJ. P. B. Mngnuson. medical reserve corps, a member of the surgeon general's staff. The artificial leg described by the surgeon Is the Invention of MaJ. David Silver, another medical reserve officer. formerly a practicing physician In Pittsburgh. "This artificial leg Is of a type far ahead of anything that has been developed abroad as a result of the war." Major Magnuson said. "It Is a hotter substitute for a natural leg than the government has ever been jihle to obtain heretofore for $100 each, and It can he made for a quarter of that price. In this one thing alone Doctor Silver has earned his salary as major." The Invention has heen successfully used hy a man with both legs amputated. Crutches are unnecessary. The fool has a Jointed Instep and a rubber base which reproduces the natural movements .with astonishing success. Major Magnuson asserted that It would he hard to guess that a man was wearing the support after he was practiced In its use. Artificial hands and wrtsts were also I described. Little Fat Makes .Them WMl" A strange new disease has Bq)ketl out in Germany, according to articles In German medical weeklies, summarized In the Journal of the American Medical Association. The physicians call It war edema. It manifests iiself hy a swelling of the lower extremities, less often of the upper, the face, and the serous cavities. lrnless permanent relief Is obtained It may last for months J Apparently all the German writers attribute It to the poor diet that now prevails; excess of carbohydrates and deficiency of fats, together with large quantities of wqter. as the food la I taken mostly In the form of aoup. The cure Is rest In bed and the ad, dltlon of at least 100 grams of fat to the dally ration. i Bayonet Work Brings In Body Armor.
