should be mentioned, alcohol.
1t is in truth the handmaiden of
pneumonia. and there is none more
certain or more sure of success,
especially if literally and continu-
ously used.
While the foregoing facts consti-
tute in part our knowledge of the
reasons for the widespread dissem-
ination of an infection which
carries with it a mortality of from
ten to thirty per cent, it should be
remembered that Our scientific data
are not vet complete. There are
problems connected with immunity,
predisposition. and the occurrence
of epidemics which are yet to be
solved. 1t is known that pneu-
monia frequently attacks those who
are perfectly well, and who ap-
parently have observed every hy-
gienic rule. Whether this is due
to the increased virulence of the
organism or to other causes is un-
explained. 1t is, however, recog-
nized that avoidance of the factors
so briefly enumerated will in large
part diminish individual suscepti-
bility and therefore the incidence
of the disease.

Pneumonia

Ten per cent of the deaths in the
United States result from pneu-
monia says the U. S. Public Health
Service. 1t is estimated that dur
ing the past thirty days this rate
has been doubled in some sections
tuberculosis and heart disease,
each causing one-ninth of all
fatalities, are the only diseases
which outrank pneumonia among
the legion of the men of death
but in certain cities pneumonia is
steadily increasing and even has
surpassed the mortality from tuber-
culosis. Seventy per cent of all
cases occur between December and
MAY. 1t is distinctly cold
weather infection, seemingly
brought by wintry blasts, but espe-
cially prevalent during the winter
season only because its victims are
rendered more susceptible at that
time by exposure. facilitating in
huences and the presence of pre-
disposing infections.
Pneumonia principally affects
those at the extremes of life, but
no age is exempt. 1t is invariably
a germ disease. The predisposing
and exciting organisms are so
numerous that it would be futile

to attempt their enumeration.
Many of them are constantly
present in the mouths and Threats
of healthy persons and it is only
through the aid which we unwit-
tingly extend to them that they are
transformed from harmless organ
isms to one of mans most power
full enemies.
The presence of other diseases
is the great predisposing cause of
pneumonia. They prepare the
soil for invasion. Holding first
rank in this category is influenza,
the increased incidence of pneu-
monia at this time being largely
due to the present epidemic of la
grippe. individuals suffering from
this infection are peculiarly suscep-
tible to respiratory complications
and should properly observe every
hygienic rule. Inflammation of
the upper air passages, pharyngitis,
bronchitis. and tonsillitis, often
predispose to the development of
the disease, particularly among
the aged and in6rm. The acute
contagious diseases of childhood,
more especially measles and whoop-
ing cough frequently prepare the
way for pneumonia. Anyone who
through neglect or carelessness
permits the spread of these infec-
lions is therefore open to the
severest condemnation. Exhaust
ing disease of whatever nature, is
often sufficient to so reduce our
resistance that we are unable to
cope with organisms which should
be easily overcome, and hence
predisposed to the infection.
Debility, either temporary or
chronic, developing from any
cause, increases susceptibility
Because of this the disease most
often attacks those at the extremes
of life. Among facilitating in
f1uences must be mentioned cold
exposure to penetrating winds. and
the chilling of body surfaces as a
result of wetting. The combina-
ton of lack of food and fatigue
proves particularly disastrous. dur
ing the winter season and is con-
dition to be avoided whenever
possible. Bad housing, mental or
physical harassment, and overwork
are alike the advance agents of the
infection. Overcrowding, in street
cars, theatres, and other public
places, is unquestionably in part
responsible for the spread of pneu-
monia in cities, as far greater
opportunity is thus offered for the
dissemination of the predisposing
diseases through indiscriminate
coughing and other means of drop
let infection, as we'll as the directly
injurious effects which inevitably
result from exposure to such en-
vironment. The overheating of
rooms is also seemingly harmful.
Promiscuous expectoration may be,
and probably is, a factor in infec-
ton and consequently should be
avoided by every citizen. A re-

A newspaper is in no sense a
child of charity. 1t earns twice
over every dollar it receives. and it
is second to no enterprise in con-

more benefits from its pages than
its publishers. and in calling for
the support of the community in
which it is published, it asks for
no more than in all fairness belongs
to it, though generally it receives

aching hearts are saved further

FEAR INSPIRED BY BALLOON
More Than Century Ago Great Brit
ain Dreaded Visit of "Warship
of the Air"

One hundred and thirty-one years
ago the balloon, French invention
Of that time, gave an unpleasant feel
ing of insecurity to England, which,
however, has had to wait for actual
overhead invasion until the Zeppelin,
the air-monster of today, appeared.
The fear was even then entertained
that this French invention might be
used by the natural enemies of the
British race. A British caricature is
mentioned in Chambers Book of
Days as having been published in
1884, entitled "Montgolfer in the
Clouds, Constructing Air-Balloons
for the Grand Monarque." The
grand monarque was then not Louis
XIV, but Louis XVI. In this the
French inventor is represented
blowing soap bubbles and saying
ooh, by Gar, dis be de grand inven-
ton. Dis will immortalize my king,
my country, myself. We will declare
the war against our enemies. We
will make des English wake, by Gar.
