| Pneumonia can be avoided by observ-
ing these rules, laid down By DR.. Eugene
II. JermaRe Of Chicago. who is at the
| New Willard:
If all our men and women, weighing
40 pounds and over, would reduce their
! food and beverages one-half for the
next four months many lives would be
/ saved. The pneumonia season will last
| for some months yet What can be done
to prevent it? The most necessary thing
IS that a man should keep himself right.
The men who die Of pneumonia are
usually strong and robust when taken

men and women are especially prone 10
SCI pneumonia, The condition OF the
man has more TO do with pneumonia
than the bacteria. The full-st0mached,
fuli-bioeded people are those who are in
danger
so the first lesson is. eat and drink
! lightly at each meal until April. The
next point is that there is some truth
/ ia the statement that d bad cold may
run into pneumonia. 4 few days Of
+ Dad cold seems TO prepare the way for
a pneumonia Infection. If you get a bad
cold do not neglect IT, Quit eating alb
/ soiutely take a purgative, throw open
tho windows get into bed, and send for
| a doctor. Do not shut the windows and
/ take hot drinks TO sweat yourself that
/ would be foolish"
