Pneumonia Weather.
From the New York Herald


1.-THE wide prevalence of coughs,
colds, grip and pneumonia marks an
experience of severe and protracted
winter weather the like of which we
have not seen for many year. The
stubborn persistence of catarrhal
troubles is also a marked feature of
the depressing influences which fol-
low a long siege of rapidly changing
low and raw temperatures. The man
is fortunate indeed who has not been
at some time since Christmas confined
to his bed with n cold of some sort
that he cannot succeed in curing. This
condition of affairs has existed for
months, and the end is not yet. In
fact. il behooVes all careful people to
be on their guard against all catarrh-
al troubles more than ever.
March is typical pneumonia
month and gives high rate of NOR
tally for the disease. One reason for
this is that after our long and hard
winters the system loses its natural
ones are likely to Withstand the
strain, and even these are by no
means safe when grip is increasing
almost to epidemic manifestation.
The ordinary cold the grip and
pneumonia belong to the same family
of winter diseases. Although they
NAV be excited by different infectious
influences, their ultimate effects are
the same when the attacks are suf-
ficiently severe.
An acute catarrh is always the re-
suit of undue exposure to low tenn
peratures The rapid cooling of the
surface. when not balanced by proper
reaction, produces congestion and in
flammation of the nasal and bronchial
membranes. Obviously such an all
ment is communicable i'm the ordi-
nary sense. from one individual to an
other. AS the slightest cold predis-
poses the individual to attacks of the
most severe and dangerous catarrhal
affections. the necessity for it's quick
cure need not be enforced"
All these facts emphasize the neces-
sity OF extraordinary precautionary
measures against the ordinary cold.

New Orleans. March 26.-Challenging
its right to exist in this state. Attor-
ney General Guion to-day brought suit
against the New Orleans Railway
Company of New Jersey, which is in
control of all the street railway proper
ties in New Orleans.
The object of the present suit is to
prevent the making over to the rail-
way company of leases by local rail-
roads running up to the date of the
expiration of their franchises. The
Attorney General contends that under
its New Jersey charter the railway
company cannot lease railroad proper
ty in Louisiana; that the acquisition of
these leases would create a monopoly
of a public utility. and that the rail-
way company is not legally authorized
to act as corporation in this state.
