BEWARE PNEUMONIA.

The. Lafayette Courier breaches the
following health sermon, which may
be applied to Hammond. East Chica-
go or any other city as we'll as La
fayette, and is worthy of serious CON
sideration:
The prevalence of dread pneumonia,
in this city, just now. may we'll be an
occasion of some anxiety for all. Now,
as ever, preventive medicine is the
best medicine. Pneumonia is now
recognized as in some degree con-
tagious disease, though perhaps not as
readily contagious as some other dis
eases which might be named. But
contagious it is, and no one should UNI
necessarily expose himself to it. Pneu-
monia is one of the diseases of the
respiratory organs, and, as one might
expect, plenty of pure air is a very
cheap antiseptic. Keep warm, OF
course, but not by storing the heated
air of your home office or workshop
| for days at a time. 1t may cost more
| to heat fresh air from the outside. but
that is cheap than being sick. After
you are confident you have done all
in your power to secure a constant
supply of germ destroying oxyger
then the added precaution of occa
sionally spraying the nose and throa
with an antiseptic solution, say di
lutte solution of glycothymolene. easii,
lobtainable, would be WELL At an
lrate, give little intelligent though

to the matter of preserving yourself,
and your household from the preva-
lent diseases of the respiratory tract
in winter. These diseases come in
winter because our habits of life are
fact ought to be a serviceable hint.
The percentage of fatalities in cases
i of pneumonia is not as great as it once
was. but it is still very dangerous.
Anyway, you don't want it.

IS LATEST MAN ON EARTH
Sea-FarIng Man Discovers Him In
Person of Chief Of the Solomon
Islands.

In all probability the LATEST man on
earth has been discovered by sea-
faring men who had occasion to stop
at the Solomon Islands of the East
Indies not long ago. Those islands are
inhabited by tribes of black men
known to the sailors as Kanakas.
The ruler over the islands of Chois-
enc and Caristoval is one of these
Kanakas, known as Chief Sonoa. The
Kanakas are almost invariably short
and very heavily built, but Chief Sonoa
is the shortest and latest one of the
bunch, weighing in the neighborhood
of 365 pounds. He is not only the
blacklist, latest and LATEST, but he
has more wives than any other chief
in that neighborhood.
One of the sailors who visited these
islands said that ''his majesty would
lie in the sands Of the beach while his
favorite wife would sit beside him and
smoke. She would draw mouth full
Of the smoke into her lungs. The chief
would open his mouth, the favorite
would blow the smoke into it and he
would inhale 1t into his lungs. after
which he would let it pass out his
nose. Time after time would the wife
chosen for this job blow the smoke
into her chiefs mouth, and time after
time he would take it into his lungs to
let it pass out Of his nose. The to-
bacco used was the strongest that
could be had, and with it was rolled
some kind of leaf that would bring on
sleep. A truly luxurious being is this
dusky king"
