HOW TO AVOID
LOBAR PNEUMONIA
DR.. Woodward Discusses
Phases Of Disease.
CLAIMS HOST OF VICTIMS
Good Physical Condition Is the Surest
Preventive That is
Known.
CLAIMS HOST OF VICTIMS

Next to consumption, pneumonia is
responsible for more deaths than any
other disease" said William c. Wood
ward. Health officer of the District. this
morning; land il is not unusual during
January. February. and March for the
mortality from it to exceed even that
from consumption. The average deaths
from pneumonia each year during the
ten-year period ended December 81 1892,
was 459; PA being white and 245 re-
grOes.
DR.. Woodward then drifted into
most instructive discussion on pneu-
monia. telling how to prevent il, how TO
cure ii, and other pertinent data.
Its Essential Factor.
The essential factor of pneumonia is
an Inflammation Of the lungs" contin-
ued DIR. Woodward Such infiamma-
tions are classed broadly as iobar pneu-
monia and lobular pneumonia
'Lobar pneumonia depends upon
particular germ. and that germ is pres
ent in the material which the patient
splits up. Dobular pneumonia very COM
monty results from other diseases, as
bronchitis. whOOping cough, measles,
etc. and depends either on the germ
which causes those diseases or on the
attacks of other germs rendered pos
sibe by the depressing influence of the
primary trouble.
Tho communicating Of lobular pncu-
monia depends, therefore. largely on the
communicating of the disease whicl
causes IT, LObar pneumonia is a dis
ease Of adult life: lObular pneumoni.
is commonly n disease of infancy anc
early childhood
Physical Condition Tells.
While the communicating OF pneu-
monia depends to a certain extent upon
the germ which is present In the sputa
OF pneumonia patients. yet there are
good reasons for believing that the de-
velopment of pneumonia in any par
ticular person is largely dependent upon
the physical condition OF the individual.
This is shown, for instance. by the ex-
cessive prevalence of cases OF pneu-
mOnia among negroes.
1T is apparent that the individual who
would avoid pneumonia must pay par
ticular attention to his physical well
fare. The avoidance of sudden and eX
cessivc changes Of temperature is an
important factor. Too much coddhng
In this direction, however, viii do harm
because. while special precautions must
be taken against the sudden and ex
cessive changes. yet one should be so
accustomed to ordinary changes as
to be able TO endure them without harm,
and this result IS best accomplished by
frequent exercise in the open air, proper
bathing, and suitable but not excessive
clothing. A nutritious diet. avoidance
Of the excessive use Of stimulants. and
proper hours OF rest are essential"

Nearly a Smashup.

Failure to deliver an order to En-
gineer @. @. Price, by the agent at
OeBeque, Mr.. Rohinnette. came near
causing disastrous accident yester-
day. Engineer Price was coming west
with light engine, ahead of freight
train No. 81. He ran into the yards
at DeBequo and asked of the engineer
of the train No. 81, what orders he
had. He stated that he had none.
Engineer Price then said. so it said,
that he would flag Aiken. He had
gone but short distance from De-
Beque when he met train No. 226 60
ing east with Clarence Heskett as en-
gineer. The two engineers saw each
other in time to almost stop their
engines and nothing bad resulted save
smashing of pilots.
Engineer Price should have been
delivered an order at DeBeque regard
ing train No. 226. The fault evil
IDENTIFY lies with the agent at De-
Beque. who failed to give the order.
1t is most fortunate that it was in
the day time and that both engineers
saw each other in time to apply the
air and almost stop their engines, the
damage being slight.

are matched by weight according to
varying local rules; but in whatever
district or country they meet-whether
the United States, Canada, France or
Belgium, the rules are based on the
old English model.

Russian Ships Bottled Up.
Berlin, March 2-The position of the
Russians at Port Arthur is described by
st. Petersburg correspondent of the

damaged Retvizan, he states blocks the
narrow entrance to the harbor against
all their battleships. 1t can neither be
repaired nor moved from the spot where
it lies stranded. 1t is thus the only bat
tleship that can take part as kind of
fixed battery in the war All the other
battleships are land-blocked. Scarce
ly anything is heard of torpedo boats
1t is assumed they are without ammuni
