Unless Taken in Hand Early May Lay the Foun- dation for Lung Dis
 eases Later.
EST IS NECESSARY
Some Rules Laid Down Which Are Surest Meth- eds of Preventing N-
 ter Effects.

NEW YORK, Nov. 1S.-Fearine a rapid rise in the death rate from tuberculosis, as result oi he influenza epidemic, the National Tuberculosis Association has issued special statement warning the public of the danger. Experience in previous epidemics has clearly indicated, the Association points out. that the death rate from tuber culosis may be expected to be in creased by at least ten per cent within the next two years as re suit of the present epidemic, unless proper precautions are taken. In fluenza, it is stated, greatly re duces ones physical vitality, and lowers ones resistance to dis ease. This opens the way for tu berculosis.
 The surest ways to prevent tuber culosis as result of influenza are summarized by the Association as follows:
 1. Stop working and go to bed immediately Do not resume wori until the attack of influenza is al gone.
 2. Have nothing to do with patent medicines or drug store treat ment" Put yourself under doc tors care at once, and continue un der his care until cured.
 3. Have your doctor examine you thoroughly to see if any sign, of tuberculosis are present. Yot can not tell without expert eX animation.
 4. If free from any trace of tuber culosis, keep so by sufficient res during convalescence, and carefu living then and afterwards.
 ,. If your "cold' hangs on, ol there are other indications of tuber
