DISEASE IN BAD AIR.
Poor Ventilation Is Declared Prin-
cipal Cause of Pneumonia.

Poor ventilation is the principal cause
Of pneumonia, which annually causes
hundreds of deaths in the District. At
least that is the opinion Of local health
officials, including Health Officer Will
liam c. Woodward. who warns Wash
against contracting this dangerous dis
ease.
Keep confined air agitated. especially
at night while sleeping. is the depart
ments principal Recommendation. In
confined air, it is stated. the pneumonia
germ thrives and the human system,
depressed by poor ventilation. is more
receptive to the germ.
