All Follow Bell Mule,

An old flea-bitten, hammer-headed
ewe-necked bell mare, slowly picking
her way across the corral at the re-
mount station at Camp Zachary Tay-
lor, followed by long string Of mules
walking in single file, heads down and
ears wagging, served as illustration
for an officer attached to the big cam
torment who had just finished remark
ing that "horse nature and mule ma
ture and human nature were mighty
contrary things any way you take
them"
"Now take those mules" he said.
''The education Of pack mule is a
thing that must be begun early. He
has just two purposes in life.
"One is to carry 225 pounds day
after day patiently and uncomplain-
ingly, and the other is to follow the
bell mare of the train, regardless Of
where that animal may go. Well,
there is in that corral an illustration
Of the effectiveness Of our training.
The old mare has started after drink
of water and there goes every dad
blasted one Of those fool mules after
q drink Of water"

Accuracy Better Than Speed.

People who go in for speed records
are not as wise as they think they are,
for speed without accuracy is of no
avail. True. time is at premium in
every line these days and we should
not under any circumstances waste
minute unnecessarily. But if we aren't
sure about any phase Of our work we
must take sufficient time to go into it
and not rely Or chance to help us
where we can possibly help ourselves.

Washington, D. C.-With the subsid-
ence of the epidemic Of influenza the
attention Of health officers is directed
to pneumonia, bronchitis and other
diseases Of the respiratory system
which regularly cause large number
of deaths, especially during the winter
season. According to Rupert Blue,
Surgeon General Of the United States
Public Health Service, these diseases
will be especially prevalent this win
ter unless the people are particularly
careful to obey health instructions.
'The present epidemic" said Sur
geon General Blue, "has taught by bit
ter experience how readily condition
beginning apparently as a slight cold
may 60 on to pneumonia and death.
Although the worst Of the epidemic Is
over, there will continue to be large
number Of scattered cases, many of
them mild and unrecognized, which
will be danger spots to be guarded
against" The Surgeon General likened
the present situation to that after
great fire, saying, "No fire chief who
understands his business stops playing
the hose on the charred debris as soon
as the flames and visible fire have dis
appeared. On the contrary, he con-
tinues the water for hours and even
days, for he knows that there Is dan
ger Of the fire reminding from smol-
derlng embers"
"Then you fear another outbreak of
infiuenza?'' he was asked. "Not neces-
sarily another large epidemic" said
the Surgeon General, "but unless the
people learn to realize the seriousness
of the danger they will be compelled to
pay heavy death toll from pneumo-
MIA and other respiratory diseases.

Common Colds Highly Catching.

ut is encouraging to observe that
people are beginning to learn that or
binary coughs and colds are highly
catching and are spread from person
to person by means of droplets Of
germ laden mucus. Such droplets are
sprayed into the air when careless or
ignorant people cough or sneeze with
out covering their mouth and nose. 1t
Is also good to know that people have
learned something about the value Of
fresh air. In summer, when people
are largely out Of doors, the respira-
tory diseases Coughs, colds, pneumo-
MIA, etc. are infrequent; in the fall,
as people begin to remain indoors, the
respiratory diseases Increase; in the
winter, when people are prone to stay
In badly ventilated, overheated rooms,
the respiratory diseases become very
prevalent

Droplet Infection Explained In Pictures

"The Bureau of Public Health,
Treasury Department., has just issued
a striking poster drawn by Bergman,
the well-known Washington cartoonist.
The poster exemplif1es the modern
method Of health educa ton A few
years ago, under similar circumstances,
the health authorities would have is
sued an official dry but scientifically
accurate bulletin teaching the role of
droplet infection in the spread of re-
spiratory diseases. The only ones who
would have understood the bulletin
would have been those who already
knew all about the subject. The man
in the street, the plain citizen and the
many millions who toll for their living
would have had no time and no desire
) to wade through the technical phrase
