Washington, ID. Q. Especial -Ac-
cording to a report made to the United
States Public Health Service, the cpl
demic of influenza in Spain has al
ready caused an increase in the preva-
lence and deaths from pulmonary tu-
berculOsis. similar association be-
tween influenza and tuberculosis was
recently made by Sir Arthur News
holme, the chief medical officer of the
English public health service, in his
analysis of the tuberculosis death rate
In England
In order that the people of the Unit
ed States may profit by the experience
of other countries Surgeon General
Rupert Blue of the United States Pub
lie Health Service has just issued
warning emphasizing the need of spe-
cial precautions at the present time.
Experience seems to Indicate" says
the Surgeon General, that persons
whose resistance has been weakened
by an attack of influenza are peculiar
ly susceptible to tuberculosis. with
millions of its people recently affected
with Influenza this country now Of
fers conditions favoring the spread of
tuberculosis"

United States.
Then you consider this a serious

II is. though 1 hasten to add 1t is dis
tncliy one against which the people
can guard. So far as one can estimate
fl, oh mil
cases Of tuberculosis in the United
States. There is unfOrtunnith no
complete census available to show en-
actly the number of SuberculOus per-
sons In each state despite the fact that
most of the states have made the dis
ease reportable. In New York city,
where reporting has been In force for
many years, over $4,000 cases of tu-
berculosis are registered with the De-
partment of Health. Those familiar
with the situation believe that the adj
dition of unrecognized and unreported
cases would make the number nearer
10000 The very careful health sur
vey conducted during the past two
years in birmingham, Mass, revealed
200 cases of tuberculosis In q popula-
ton of approximately 1900. If these
proportions hold true for the United
States as a whole they would indicate
that about one in every hundred per-
sons is tuberculous. Each of these
constitutes a source of danger to be
guarded against"
What to Do.
In his statement to the public Sur
geon General Blue points out how
those who have had Influenza should
protect themselves against tuberculo-
sis. "All who have recovered from In
fiuenza," says the Surgeon General,
"should have their lungs carefully ex-
amlned by competent physician. In
fact. II Is desirable to have several ex-
amInations made month apart. Such
examinations cannot be made through
the clothing nor can they be carried
out In two or three minutes. If the
lungs are found to be free from tuber-

FIRE DOES
BIG DAMAGE
House at Second and Bank Owned by
J. r. Daueherty Damaged by
Fire Yesterday
Afternoon

A duplex frame house located al
Second and Bank streets caught fire
yesterday afternoon, the alarm com
ing In at $40. and gave the fire de
partment a good fight in the first fire
of the new year. The house was owned
by j. F. Daugherty, 502 North Seventh
street. and was occupied by one side
by James A Dietz.
The family said that smoke had
been smelled about 800 o'clock, but
failed to reveal any
blaze. 1t is probable that the fire had
forty minutes start for by the time
the department arrived the roof was
one mass of flames. It was only by
the hardest kind of work that the
blaze was gotten under control. The
department deserves much credit for
the work done. Three lines of hose
were laid by the Tenth street and
West Keokuk stations. but only two
lines were used.
The building Is one that used to
stand at the corner of Third and Main
streets where the library now stands.
It was one of the oldest buildings on
Main street, when 1t was moved to It's
present location and remodeled into a
dwelling Insurance to the amount of
$500 was carried on the building. but
Dietz had allowed the insurance on
his househo goods to expire and will
suffer quite a loss. The exact amount
of damage done to the structure can
not be determined until the adjustor
gives his report.

REDUCED TICKETS
 ID RESORTS, PLAN

WASHINGTON. June 26.-Reduced excursion fares to summer resorts will be put into effect soon by the railroad administration. Passenger traffic com mittees now are working on several thousand local rates to seashore and inland resorts, and many of these will be recommended to Director General McAdoo within a week. Although low excursion rates existing before June 10. when the three cent mile passen- ger rate went into effect, will not be restored. the special rates will range from 10 to 70 per cent lower than the straight fare.
 A number of other apparent injus- tices effected by increasing passenger rates flatly to three cents mile, par ticularly in short hauls. are under consideration by passenger traffic committees.
