Washington, d. C.-With the subsd-
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

Although the worst Of the epidemic 10

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

understands his business stops playing

"Then you fear another outbreak Of

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-

ut is encouraging to observe that
people are beginning to learn that or

the health authorities would have is
sued an official dry but scientifically
accurate bulletin teaching the role Of

work OF this young colored woman q

Bowlos received her first training
as social worker with the associat-
ed Charities in her native city Colum

attention Of the Y. w. G.. A officials
and they brought her to this
big city for wider field Of useful

tiunal Conventions:

upon us. TO you who have been

ton to go to work with all your
heart, with your face set towards

make this the greatest session in the
HISTORY OF tho Convention, In spite
OF these perilous times.
Indeed woman is coming to her
OWL Never in tho history OF the
world has she received anything like
the credit due her, but now the ma
| tions arc acknowledging that woman
, indeed plays most important part
in this conflict. She is indispensable.
lnaSmuch rs they are indispensable
in the great struggle for democracy
she is also in the great war being
waged against ignorance and super
stition, against the powers OF dark
ness everywhere.
There is no time to sit and pine
because the men and brethren arc
gone to the front, but we must
shoulder the responsibility bravely
and let tho world know that women
can master the situation and carry
on the work left for us in business
like way. And as the poet said,
Let us then DO up and doing,
With n heart for any fate;
Still achieving, still pursuing,
Learn to labor and totwait."
We have received very cncour-
aging letter from tho President of tho
Convention, having visited tho Valley
Baptist Association, and also reor-
ganizcd tho Missionary Society at
Now River, with Mrs. Bucllner as
President, Mrs. Mary Mitchell, Treas
urer. She also visited Buchanan,

We are having number of calls
for them. Each Circle has beon
asked to take some and sell them
for ten cents apiece and keep tho
amount in treasury and report at tho
next Convention for Foreign Mis-
sions. We feel that every member
Of tho Convention should have ono
on thoir wall and will be glad to
mail them to any for the asking.
Any President may send for them
