ISSUES WARNING Increase in All Respiratory Dis eases After the Influenza ?pidemic Probable. Influenza Expected to Lurk for Months. How to Guard Against Pneumonia. Common Colde Highly Catching ? lm. portancoof 8uitable Clothing ? Could Save 100,000 Live*. Washington, D. a -With the subsld- I ence of (he epidemic of inflyenza the j attention of health olllcers is directed i to pneumonia, bronchitis and other disease* of the respiratory system Which regularly cause s large number of deaths, especially .during the winter season. According to Rupert Blue. Burgeon Oeuernl of the United 8tstes JPubllc Health Service, these dlsesses will be sspsclally prevalent this wlu ter unless the people are particularly careful to obey health Instructions. "The present epidemic," said Sur geon General Blue, "has taught by bit ter experience how readily m Condition beginning apparently as a slight cold may go on to pueuinonta and death. Although the worst of the epldendc Is over, Uiere will continue to bo a large number of scattered cases, many of them tnlld and unrecognized, which will be danger spots to be guarded again*." The Stfrgeon Generul likened the present situation to that after a great ftre, saying "No tire chief who understands his business stops playing the hose on the charred debris as soon as the flames and visible fire have dis appeared. Ou the cbntrary, he con tinues the water for hours and even days, for he knows that there is du ti ger of Mat H ro rekindling from smol dering embers." "Then you fear another outbreak of Influenza?" lie was asked. "Not neces sarily another large epidemic," said the Surgeon General, "but unless the people learn to realize the seriousness of the danger they will be compelled to pay a heavy death toll from pneumo nia and other respiratory diseases. Common Cold* Highly Catching., "It la encouraging to observe that people are beginning to learn that or dinary coughs and colds" are highly catching and are spread from person to person by means of droplets of germ laden mucus. Such droplets are sprayed Into the air when careless or Ignorant people cough or, sneeze with out covering their mouth and nose. It Is also good to know that people have learned something about the value of fresh air. In summer, when people are largely out of doors, the respira tory diseases (coughs, colds, pneumo nia, etc.) are infrequent;. in the fall, as people begin to remain indoors, the respiratory diseases increase; in the winter, when people are prone to stay badly ventilated, overheated room^ the respiratory diseases become very prevalent. I, < . ' ' & . Suitable Clothing Important. """Still another factor in the produc tion of colds, pneumonia and other re spiratory diseases is carelessness or lg> noranco of the people regarding suit able clothing diiring the seasons, when the weather suddenly changes, sitting in warm rooms teo heavily dressed of,' what is even more common, especially among women, dressing so lightly that windows are kept closed in order to be comfortably warm. This- is a viery in jurious practice. . ' ( Could 8ave 100,000 Lives. *T believe we could easily save one hundred thousand lives annually in the United States If aU 4the people would adopt the teystejn' of fresh ^lr living followed, for example. In tuber? c ill os is sanatoria. There is nothing mysterious about it ? no sgHMlfle medi cine, no vaccine. The important thing Is right living, good food and plenty of fresh air. > Droplet Infection Explained In Pictures.

Shavers of cigarettes ; fell from the skies on the American fighters driving the Germans out of the St. Mlhtei salient. This fact was announced in a cablegram received by William J. Mulligan, chairman of the Knights of Columbus committee on war activities, at the United War Work Campaign headquarters. From American airplanes 20,000 packages of cigarettes were dropped into the hands of infantrymen and artillerymen press ing forward In their victorious squeeze which dislodged the enemy from the stronghold they had held for more than three years. Each package was stamped "Compliments of the Knights of Columbus." At the same time, cable dispatches announce, Y. M. C. A. workers on foot moved among the soldiers, handing out chocolates and cigarettes. The airplane sefvlce for distributing cigarettes to the sordlers, while the battle was in progress and . the ordi nary foot or motor methods of reach lug the men in the front lines were unavailable, was established by Mar tin V. Merle of San Francisco, a K. of C. secretary, with the Co-operation of an American airplane unit. After the tight, soldiers related how pleas antly surprised they had been when cigarettes dropped from on high. They declared no service in their behalf ever had pleased them as much as this ul tra modern delivery of "smokes." The Y. M. C. A. workers won new friends at St. Mihlel. One Red Tri angle man, with a huge pack 011 his back, moved forward with a certain unit, distributing chocolates and ciga rettes to each soldier. Salvation Army workers also were busy with" their doughnuts and coffee throughout the St. Mihlel drive. COULD NOT READ, BUT ? HE'S THERE WITH RIFLE ('amp Shertdan, Montgomery, Ala. ?
