Washington, D. 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<

LIFTING AUTO OUT OF RUT
Simple Contrivance Proved Effective
Whan Machine Mired and Serious
Trouble teemed Certain.
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

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.

**A henvy nuto truck became mired

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."

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.
