Within Individual Control.

Contact. direct or indirect. is neces-
sary for the spread of some communi-
cable diseases. Droplet or spray infec-
ton. due to coughing. sneezing or
forcible talking, is responsible for
others. The avoidance of commune
cable diseases appears, therefore to lie
more nearly within the control of the
individual than when the air-borne
theory of transmission was accepted,
and few simple rules of personal
cleanliness, carefully taught by the
parent. will go a long way toward the
accomplishing of the desired result
The avoidance of accidents also is
to a considerable extent a matter of
training. and the fact that seven chill
dren between five and nine years old
burned to death in one year is a ter
rible indictment of our habits of living

Some Timely Precautions.

ITO always wash the hands before
eating. to eat or drink out of no com
mon cup or glass and out of no vessel
of any kind of doubtful cleanliness; to
keep fingers, pencils. marbles, jacks
and similar articles out of the mouth
to avoid picking the nose: to love fresh
air; to let matches alone and to dread
any open blaze. These are some of the
things that should be SO thoroughly
taught and ingrained into the child as
to have become second nature before
even the kindergarten age is ached.
The parent alone. by precept and eX-
ample. can best teach them.
And when even these rules fail. or
seem to have failed, as they will some
times. then j. is for the parent to see
that early and efficient aid is obtained,
so that prompt diagnosis may be made
and proper treatment be Instituted and
kept up until health is completely re-
stored"

Shot While on Street.

About 10 o'clock last night Mrs. Hamel
and Chisn, who evidently had met some
where else. reached the corner of 10th
and M streets southeast, only few doors
from Mrs. Hamers home. Willie Hamel,
eleven years old. son of the dead woman,
hearing the voices of the couple in con-
versatton, went to where the two stood.
The boy was sent home by Chsm, and
few minutes later the shot was fired that
ended Mrs. Hamels life Immediately
after the shot Chism ran north on 10th
street and disappeared. Police and 9TH
ers attracted to the spot by the sound
of the shot found Mrs Hamel on the
sidewalk bleeding from a wound in the
neck. She died before reaching Casualty

learned that Chism had been Mrs. Ham
els companion. 1t was also learned that
Chism, who lived at the home of An
drew Norton. $40 18th street southeast
had been told to keep away from the NJ
street house, and that he had met Mrs.
Hamel away from her home on several
occasions. Investigation showed that
Chism, who was a driver, was not in his
room at the Norton home, and it was not
until about / o'clock this morning that
the police learned the man was at the
home of Mrs. Deal.

Der of contagious diseases, but in the
present epidemic it is impossible to
specifically designate tho disease that
should be quarantined, consequently
the people must cooperate with the
local and State health authorities by
voluntarily establishing quarantine in
their homes, schools and places of as
sembly.
Fourth, the local health authorities
should vigorously insist that all places
of public assembly, street and railway
cars, elevators, public conyeyances,
and other places where people con-
pregate, should be kept clean and well
ventilated.
Fifth, victims of catarrhal diseases
should remain in bed so long as the
acute symptoms of an infection per
sist. The protean forms of the dis
ease cause a large variety of compli-
cations, and the prevention of serious
a~fter-effects is ensured by refraining
severe work before recovery is
complete.

THE PRESENT EPIDEMIC
OF CATARRHAL DISEASES

During the present nationwide cpl
demic of catarrhal diseases, Dr. John
A. Robson, of the Illinois State Board
of Health, has been making a clinical
study of the cases, and arrived at the
conclusion that very few of the cases
have beer due to the specific micro
organism of true influenza. On IN
ouiry at private and public ~diagnostlc
laboratories this conclusion has been
corroborated. Mathers, of the Me
mortal Institute for infectious dis
eases, says the bacillus of influenza
and the catarrhal m~icrococcus have
not been found, but the most preya-
lent organisms have been green-pus
forming organisms, and the germs
causing pneumonia
However, one striking observation
must be emphasized: No matter what
the causative organisms may be, their
c~ontagiosity is marked. And there
are certain precautions which should
be observed, in order to limit the
spread of the epidemic. We are
fighting unseen foes, and therefore
must use certain means that are uni
yersally acknowledged as effective in
controlling contagious diseases.
First, individual resistance must be
strengthened. The individual must
keep his bodily resistance at the high
est point of efficiency by careful at
tention to his diet, his habits OF ex-
ercise and personal cleanliness, and
thoro ventilation of his living and
working quarters.
Second, as the disease germs are
disseminated principally thru contact,
the victim of any catarrhal affection
should not indulge in kissing, or
sneezing, or ex%pectorating, without
carefully guardir g against the spray
into the atmosphere of h secre-
ions from the nose, throat or Dron-
,hial tlbes. All secretions from the
mouth should be deposited in proper
landkerchiefs and burned. Local an
iceptic sprays for the nose and throat ,
mouth washes, should be used.
Third. those who are sick should be
,olated from the well. Effective I
1a%rantining is the quickest method l
stamping out any epidemic. !
