How to Guard Against Pneumonia.

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.

Knights of Columbus Bring Joy to
Boy* While Battle I#
Progress.'
New YorJc. ? 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.
