Pneumonia Up to Date.

From the New York Globe
High up In the list. If not at the very top.
Of the mortality statistics stands pneu-
monia. Although the pneumecoccus does
most of its killing during the six colder
months Of the year, its victims in many
communities number more than do those
slaughtered by the tubercle bacillus which
hunts during the whole twelve months.
There is specific cure for the disease,
and no antidote except its own poison, cap
able of neutraliZing the pneumococcus. the
PHYSICIANS operations are limited to what
is technically known as treating the symp-
toms until the germ produces enough
poison IN its victim to poison itself If this
occurs before the patient succumbs. then
nature and the doctor go to work to bring
him back to health again. The doctor Is
more like a second in a prize fight or duel
than anything else: the real battle is be-
tween the man and the germ. Although
medicine is one of the oides, of the sciences
the majority of the doctors work Is still of
this secondary character. There are rel l.
lively few diseases for which he has discov-
cred specifc-such a quinine for malaria.
AT the last meeting of the Medical Associ1-
ton of Greater New York a symposium on
pneumonia was held. This may be con-
sidered to represent the best orthodox, ex-
pert opinion to date
DR.. James Nj. Anders Of Philadelphia Is
cussed methods for avoiding and preventing
the disease. He said that any weakness of
the heart or blood vessels, or kidneys,
seemed to predispose to pneumonia. and
hence people SO afflicted should be particu-
larly careful during the colder months; that
the indoors conditions of the winter favored
the growth of the germ and lowered the
resisting power of the human body; that the
aged were peculiarly susceptible TO fnfee-
ton; that special attention should be paid
to ventilation, clothing, avoidance of alco-
holic and other excuses; that the sputum
of sufferers should be carefully dsinfected,
and that public expectoraton should be re-
stricted IN every possible manner.

months ago the much-anticip1tei first

as far of as ever.
Perhaps NJ. Rostaud feels that his long
delayed bird-drama requires still more
polishing" In the interim. however. he
and COqUelin have had an exceptional
chance TO discuss the details of its produc-

pecially well lately-has been passing the

President Smith Confirms Divorce
of Religion and Trade in Utah.
The Mormon church is going out Of
business, according 10 a Salt Lake morn
ing paper. Its principal holding in Salt
Lake, the Utah Light and Railway Com
pany, is TO be taken over by a So. 00O,-
600 corporation composed of English and
American capitalists. The new company
also will acquire the Ogden street rail-
way and build IN electric line from Juab
county, Utah, to ONEIDA county, Idaho.
1t will be known as the Intermountain
Consolidated Railroad Company and will
be incorporated both in Utah and idaho.
simultaneously the announcement IS
made that the Salt Lake and Los Angeles
railroad. another church property. has
been sold 10 a local syndicate for $780,
600. This road is thirteen miles long and
runs from the city to the bathing pavilion
at Great Salt Lake. President Joseph
+. Smith of the Mormon church is quoted
as saying that the divorce of religion from
business is made on account of the fact
that the Mormons whom the church
sought to protect years ago no longer
need the protection of the church in bust
ness affairs. The church entered business
to assist converts and strangers belonging
to the church, but as they are now on a
firm footing the church withdraws from
business entirely. If this policy is com
pletely carried out the sale of the traction
interests will be followed by the sale of
stocks in banks, sugar factories, the great
Il. c. NJ |. department store and its
branches and many smaller enterprises.
