More Pneumonia This Year-M. u
Tells Cure. :.

Columbia, Mo-, Jan. 8.-Pneumonis
is already more prevalent this winter
than during the last thre or foul
years, according to the preventive
medicine department of the Univer.
sity of Missouri; and to help combat
the disease in the state. the University
has issued the following bulletin con-
cerning the symptoms and treatment
Pneumonia is an infectious disease
occurring at all seasons OF the year
but it is most common during the
winter and spring months. 1t is pro-
duced by germ and can be spread
from one individual to another BY
close contact. Infection of the lungs
causes severe general symptoms
such as high temperature, deliriuln
and frequently death. The onset OF
pneumonia is similar to that of a
cold going suddenly from the cold
| like stage to the stage of severe
symptoms. There is considerable
pain in the chest during the early
stage Of the disease This pain is
quite frequently referred to the abdo-
men and in the early stages is often
confused with appendicitis. The
breathing and the pulse are fast and
the fever is high The patient usually
coughs and occasionally spits up
sputum streaked with bright red
blood. Later in the disease, this sput-
um takes brown color.
Plenty Of fresh air should be kept
in the room of the patient. This
fresh air should be warm, however,
and should get into the room by pass
ing over a radiator or stove. People
having pneumonia should be given at
least one bath every day in luke warm
water The patient should be in
duced to drink large amounts of
water during the entire course Of the
disease. Food should be rich and
soft No meat should be given pa
tient who has pneumonia. Milk, but
ter, custards, ice cream and similar
soft rich foods are essential.
In all cases of pneumonia, a doctor
should be consulted even in the stage
in which it appears as severe cold.
The proper carly treatment is very es-
scntial. Persons having pneumonia
should be kept i'll room by them
selves, as the disease is highly con
tagous. Clothing, bed clothing, and
articles used in the sick room should
he disinfectcd.
Pneumonia is more Likely to be
contracted by persons who are over
worked, become chilled, or have their
resistance lowered by severe colds or
weakening disease, such as typhoid
fever. Extreme care should be taken
at this time OF year and on until late
spring by all individuals to keep their
general health at its height. Precau-
ton should be taken to isolate per
sons who take pneumonia and to call
medical assistance in time not only
to help the patient but to protect 9th
cr members OF the family and other
children in the schools from beconl-
ing exposed.

CHAPTER VIII.
The Orore of the Hive.

A black cloud of smoke was r,.Aug
up from the funnel of the Stanley ID.
rs Bill Wagstaff piloted Hazel from the
grimy Bella Coola hotel to the wharf.
"There amt many passengers" he
told her. They're mostly cannery
men. But you'll have the captains
wife to chaperOn you. She happens
to be making the trip"
When they were aboard and the
cabin boy had shown them to what
was dignified by the name of state
room, Bill drew a long envelope from
his pocket.
Here" he said, as a little money
hope you won't let any foolish pride
stand in the way Of using it freely. II
came easy to me. dug it out of Mother
Earth. and there's plenty more where
it came from. Seeing that I deprived
you of access to your own money and
all your personal belongings, you are
entitled to this any way you look at 1t.
And I want to throw in n bit of gra-
tuitOus advice-in case you should con-
clude to go back to the Meadows. They
probably looked high and low for you.
But there Is no chance for them to
learn where you actually did get to
unless you yourself tell them. The
most plausible explanatiOn-andi II you
go there you must make some eXplana-
tion-would be for you to say that you
got lost-which is true enough-and
that you eventually fell in with a
| 80 nf Indians on6 1otpr con-
nected up with a party of white
people who were travelling eastward.
That you wintered with them and they
put you on a steamer and sent you to
Vancouver when spring opened.
THAT, l guess, is ALL" he concluded
slowly. "Only / wish"-he caught her
by the shoulders and shook her gently
II sure do wish it could have been
different. little person. Maybe some
time when l get restless for human
companlonship and come out to cayort
in the bright lights for a while, / may
pass you on street somewhere. This
world Is very small. Oh, yes-when
you go to Vancouver go to the Lady
smith. It's nice, quiet hotel in the
West end. Any hack driver knows the
place"
He dropped his hands. and looked
steadily at her for few seconds
steadily and longingly.
"Good-by!" he said abruptly-and
walked out, and down the gangplanR
that was already being cast loose, and
away up the wharf without a back
ward glance.
The Stanley DIS siren woke the
echoes along the wooded shore. A
throbbing that shook her from stem
to stern betokened the first turnings
Of the screw. And slowly she backed
into deep water and swung wide fol
the outer passage.
