One death out of every ten is due
to pneumonia. There are a number
OF predisposing causes. hut greatest
perhaps of all Is grip. The acute con.

The fat man who will not exercise
ana WHO eats 100 much is another
easy pneumonia victim. He has worn

organs by overtaXing them with excess

pneumonia.
Bad housing, worry and overwork
are advance agents OF pneumonia.
Staying In overcrowded, overheated

places Of amusements aids in bringing
on the disease.
Just as plenty OF pure, fresh air will
prevent pneumonia, so it aids in cur.
ing victims. Patients in some hospi.
tails are treated in open air wards on
the roofs. Absolute rest is of the
utmost importance in the treating of
pneumonia patients. The feeding of
the patient is also vital, for the sick
person must be given just as much food
as the system can handle, hut not an

from the desk, but the second question
followed. Where were you born?"
And before he had time to realize that
the girl was entering his answers on
card before her he had told her that
he was half Irish; that he had been
educated in the public schools; that
he was unmarried, and that he was
staying in New York, though he had
no permanent address there. Have

mayor rankly admitted that he had
learned to be a stonecutter in his
youth. She went on making entries
on the card before her. McCord always
acted quickly, but on this occasion
he changed his plans of two weeks

the faces around him he walked am.
