DEATH RATE IN PNEUMONIA
That Among Persons Addicted 10 Al.
cohol Is Extremely Hlsh-Patients
Lack Resisting Power,

A physician treating a man suffer
Ing from acute pneumonia fears and
fights against two things; One, the
actual poisoning Of the patient by the
toxins Of the pneumonia germs, the
other, failure Of the heart, II the pa
tient dies one alone, or both, OF the
above factors are responsible, The
poisoning, as indicated by the fever
the deIirium, the frequent pulse, and
the rapid breathing, results from the
growth and activity OF these germs,
and the recovery and Well-being OF the
patient depends on the counter'ac'
tiyity Of the leuCocytes and the pIasma
OF the blood by which are produced
the antibodies, which IN their truth
nullify and counteract the vtrulent
poison. When this IL accomplished
the crisis occurs and the danger Is
practically over. The development Of
the crisis Is, therefore, dependent on
the protective mechanism, about
which we have been speaking, and
which Is rendered less efficient by al
cohol,
The death rate among alcoholics at
tackled by pneumonia Is extremely
high, ranging between 60 per cent, and
70 per cent, and II Is probable that
one cause Of this terrible mortality is
the lack Of resisting power which
characterizes such patients,
The second possibility dreaded by
the doctor In case OF pneumonia ia
heart failure, Picture to yourselves
what Is happening-on lung solid,
entailing greatly increased work on
the heart, the feyer damaging the

him by the muzzle, and in one moment
had e%nveloped him in his coils, killing
him Instantly. The python then pro
ceeded to swallow him whole, which
occupied, in two efforts, about a quar-

CAT HAS FONDNEsS FOR EGGS
Big, Fat, Lazy Fellow Detected In Act
Of Tearing Open Bag and
Stealing Hen Fruit.

The owner Of a clever cat writes to
Our Dumb Animals that the pet, "a
great, fat, lazy, good natured fellow"
has a fondness for eggs. Sir Tom was
detected in the kitchen recently on a
table watching an unopened bag Of
eggs. stepping back noiselessly,"
writes the owner, I'VE saw him eau
tionsly tear the bag with his teeth
and claws, stopping every little bit to
listen. Finally the opening was large
enough for him to get out an egg by
gentle little pats. He held the egg
in his mouth. jumped to the floor,
rolled his prize about gently until he
got It into position, and then bumped
