TELLS HOW TO COMBAT
INFECTIOUS DISEASES
Public Health Service Issues New
Poster Exemplifying Modern
Safeguarding Methods.

Modern methods Of combating COM
municable diseases are exemplifed by a
rev poster dealing with influenza, pneu-
monia and other respiratory diseases is
sued By the public health service.
The poster. drawn by Clifford K.
Bergman Of The Star, gives in strik-
ing fashion the essential point Of the
prevention of these diseases and is in
marked contrast to the manner Of repre-
senting the same fact employed by
health authorities a few years ago,
which was by dry reading matter.
The drawing depicts a boy sneezinr.
all the while germs are scattering in ali
directions. Pubic opinion standing close
by holds a handkerchief which he ex-
tends toward the boy. telling him to use
1t when he sneezes, to protect others.
Copies of the poster can be obtained
by writing to the Surgeon General, U.
s. Public Health Service, Washington.

Serious Financial Losses

Two facts remain, said DR.. Smith,
now that the pestilence has spent it's
force and swept on: i. 1t has left be,
hind it serious financial losses for the
church tits, hoped all over the coun-
try these losses. will be made up. 2.
The church has suffered very serious
spiritual injury in the failure of the
church herself to refuse to be put into
the class of non-essential industries.
The church was. put on the same
level as the poolrooms. saloons,
movies lsometimeS these were open
when the churches were closed. as the
saloons in Milwaukee), and never "a
challenge or a refusal. and never a
reminder that the Constitution sguar-
antees every citizen with a firm non
possumuS. a. .,s.....
Little good would have been done
by a clergyman here and there refus-
ing observance. What was, wanted
was, a unanimous, spontaneous, out
spoken. ringing statement that what
the people needed in those times were
open churches and not closed ones
and that they should so remain. -:

School Doing Practical Work.
The school here is now doing pras;
teal work. At night a squad will
start out to cover a given course.
Maps are then made Of everything
observed along that course. The
work and study requires so much
concentration that the men were
their regiments in order to be. free
from other military cares. In every
tent there Is electric light, so that
evening hours can be put to good ad-
vantage by reading and study when
school is making a fine showing, and

who can be depended upon to live up
to the high standards Of this service

Unreasonable Fear"

/ Like the epidemics which belong to
the physical world, DR.. Smith said,
this particular epidemic is due to
lnicrbbe, or, rather several microbes-
those Of "unreasonable fear" 'little
faith" and Imperfect information"
Fear that the Influenza epidemic
would be spread by attendance at
church services is unreasonable, he
said, because. without. foundation. By
going to church men and women, are
comforted, soothad, helped, encour-
aged, inspired. Their morale. is main
tanned at a high level. This mictobe
should be destroyed.
The ,microbe of little faith, said DR..
Smith, is now: busy destroying mems
belief. in a. Heavenly Fathers care.
Hence: its recent work In closing
churches in a time of general. sick:
ness-the very time when their doors
should never be shut.
AS to the micrope Of imperfect in
formation DR.. Smith said that those
who feel that the churches must be
closed because of the crowds which
assemble there apparently know very
little about churches. A church is
generally a safe place to avoid a
crowd-that is. such a crowd as one
sees at a political convention or a
movie theater. Evidently the microbe
of imperfect information has been at
work here.
