General Sherman in referring TO war.
But that is not all he said in the same
connection and the remainder OF his
statement Is equally pertinent and
worthy OF reproduction at this time,
Here IL is:

Pneumonia and the Police.

A policeman. a newspaper reporter
or a magistrate would obviously be in
competent to decide whether or not a
person were suffering with pneumonia
And by the same reasoning none OF
them would be capable of saying just
what caused an attack of pneumonia
/ In case so diagnosed by a physician
So much will be granted. But how
Is it in actual practice? Are the po-
lice authorities and the reporters at
all uncertain about these cases?
A Typical instance.
In the mid-winter season an old
man was found lying in a stupor on
the ground near a bridge. He was
I picked up by the police in the morn
I ing and taken to the police station. He
had the odor of alcohol on his breath.
They decided that he had been on a
spree and becoming intoxicated he had
wandered down from the street and
laid there on the snow all night.
A day later they decided he was
more seriously i'll than they had at
first supposed. Now the exposure"
was given more prominence by the re-
porters. The police surgeon was also
asked to take an interest in the case;
which he did, finding that the old
man was suffering with an advanced
case OF pneumonia The victim was
removed TO a hospital at this late hour,
where he sank rapidly and died. OF
course he might have died even had
he wandered to the hospital in the
early delirium OF his pneumonia, in
stead OF wandering down under the
bridge and making a bed of snow
banks.
But the lesson the case teaches is
this. Pneumonia often develops in
drinkers without disabling them from
going about at first; indeed, the NEIL
tai disturbance which is an early
symptom in many cases may lead the
patient widely astray, as it did in this
case. The incident also teaches that
the police and newspaper version of
Exposure" is to be taken with due
consideration for the medical ignor-
ance of the reporter. Not exposure"
but alcohol was the cause OF the pneu-
monia in this instance, as in many
others that happen day to day. The
drinker is peculiarly liable to infection
with pneumonia germs-germs which |
we all. or nearly all, carry about with |
us habitually in the cavity OF the !
mouth or throat Finally the incident
proves that an odor OF alcohol on the |
breath is a dangerous guide in dag !

INDUSTRIAL HEALTH.

The Importance OF the problem o
Industrial sanitation is gradually be
coming more fully realized. Some EN-
ployers. indeed. even yet apparently
take the ground that. If workmen are
willing TO labor under insanitary con
ditions. it is no concern OF their EN-
ployers. The New York state factory
investigating commission, which has
carefully studied the conditions under
which about two hundred thousand
wage-earners work, reports that there
I is a tendency on the part of many en-
ployers TO economiGe not only in mat
/ tiers OF legitimate expense but also in
space. light, air. and certain other
[ safeguards TO the health and lives OF
the workers." The report OF the state
board of health of Louisiana indicates
that over 80 per cent of all the manu-
featuring establishments in the state
are so far from each other peogra phic-
tiCns. Most states have no available
figures, but New York and Louisiana
are so far from each other geographic
ally. economically and socially, that.
for lack of better. we may take these
two reports as an index of Industrial

the United States. On the whole, says
The Journal of the American Medical
association, with each year employers
tend to appreciate more and more the
commercial value to them of sanitary
working conditions for their employees.
p. s. Warren Of the United States
public health service points out that
the false economy involved in neglect
Of sanitation inevitably leads to greatly
lessened efficiency and is thus really
expensive for the employer in the end.
The highest efficiency is possible only
when the health of workers is favored
by good air and light, proper arrange
ment of hours OF labor and the main
tenance of the safeguards of health.
With regard to hours of labor par
ticularly, some recent experience Is
valuable as indicating that shortened
hours of labor may actually conduce
not only to the health OF employees but
also TO greater production. In the
