Kingjf Fatal Vagaries of Pnei^onia ; [> Pneumonia is unusually prevalent . 1 this winter, according to physicians, i And these have noticed that it nas a t tendercy to attack its victims in a . very mild form ami then, when they 1 . seem to be out of danger, to return in a fulminating way and carry the suf>' ferer off in a few hours. For this 1 ? | reason they are impressing on their . patients the imperative necessity of . taking exceptional care of themselves j until they have fully regained their j > i strength. 51 Pneumonia is an invasion of the y J body by bacilli which are almost al; ways present in our mouths and ) I throats, doing no harm but waiting . only for an opportunity to find a weak spot in the natural defenses in our ( systems, invade the blood stream anc play havoc in the lungs. Such opportunities are found when the body r' is weakened by exposure, excess or j overwork. Four types of pneumonia Willa , are well recognized by the doctors, and the severity of the attack varies with thn tvnp of cerm that makes it. ' If type 1 be the invader?as is com-1 monly the case this season?the at-^ tack is generally light and the recove _ I ry rapid. But these mild bacilli seem - to have a subtle power, when van p I quished by the serum that has been . | injected to aid the defensive corpuscles of tHb blood in combating them, j; of digging themselves in, lying ap] patently dormant, and then, when susj! picion has been lulled, of sallying j forth transformed into one of the . i more virulent types and making an x! onslaught that puts the defending cor? | puscles?already weakened by their previous battle?to utter rout. This ?(accounts for the many sudden deaths ?. of pneumonia patients who seemed to I be well on the ropd to recovery, j I Besides, say the physicians, a very t light case of pneumonia does not conj j fer immunity, as does a severe one, t but leaves the victim peculiarly susceptible to another and perhaps fatal } attack.?N. Y. World. ; Automobile Industry Practicing Vormalcv f * 1 I y Industries as a rule require many years of development before they are t, permanent. There are the experi- j Iments and the setbacks and the con- ' j stant plugging toward a definite ideal. ' j Few industries spring to an enormous '' size in the course of a decade and become reckoning foctors in the business world. There are a few excep j tions?the outstanding one being the i automobile industry. This industry stands in the front rank as one of the 5' worldfc greatest, although the automobile was invented only a little more than twenty years ago. ' i During this score of years by prac, | tical use, the automobile has forced itself iyto the list of absolute necessities. It serves a purpose in daily , ,: life that nothing else can serve quite as well. It is the accepted means of < transportation and without it the ; world's program of business as it is enacted from day to day would be de- f .. moralized. This medium of trans. portation has no substitute. It is ac, cepted as the practical method in all i walks of life, social, commercial and I otherwise. The automobile industry is planning a sensible year of expansion, despite ? the rumors of depression, which have j been put in circulation, and if other in dustries will adopt a similiar slogan ?"Business as usual"?the commer- | cial veins of th5s nation will feel new lifh and be accelerated to the point of normalcy by the stimulation of 1 j trade. I In this respect the manufacturers and dealers are displaying foresight j and & keen sense of business anlysis. ? The country needs more business men of this kind who are not afraid to pin j their faith to the established laws of supply and edmand, and by the adoption of such a policy satisfactory results are bound to come.. The fundamental principles of business insure i the venture, if it can be referred to r as that. The public, by supporting I industries that are operated on a basis of optimism, wyll take a long step tot ward reaching the only reasonable solution to the problem which is now * threatening to reach out and demor alize the very phases of business that should remain staple and undisturbed. o Mr. G.
