about our Southern boys being called

why the Southern born editors with

this insult, but instead of resenting
it, they quote the term from all the
Yankee papers as if it were an hon.
or to be thus called. Put it down,
Mr.. Editor, stamp it out before it is
fastened on our boys. We must
not put up with it, and papers such
as yours, the grand old Telegraph
can do more toward stopping itthan
any other paper in the South. | am

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS XXI
Washington, D. O. (Special.) -Ac'
cording to 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. A similar association be-
tween influenza and tuberculosis was
recently made by Sir Arthur News
holIne, the chief medical officer of the
English public health service, In his
analysis Of the tuberculosis death rate

In order that the people Of the Unit

warning emphasizing the need Of spe-

complete census available to show ex-
iactIy the number of tuberculous per-
sons in leach state despite the fact that
most or the states have made the dis
ease rapoftable. In New York city,
where reporting has been in force for
many years, over 5000 cases OF tu-

ton Of approximately $4,000. If these
proportions hold true for the United

that ABOUT one in every hundred per-

would adopt the system Of fresh air

"Still another factor in the produc-

inorance of the people regarding suit

washington, D. O.-With the Subsid-
ence of the epidernic 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 VIM
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 a condition
beginning apparently as slight cold
may go 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 ard 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 dam
ger of the fire reminding from smol-
dering embers."
'"Then you fear another outbreak OF
influenza?" he was asked mot neces-
sarily another large epidemic" said
the Surgeon General, "but unless the
people learn to realize the seriousness
iof the danger they will be compelled to
3pay heavy death toll from pneumo-
mia and other respiratory diseases.

The only sure cure for Indian dancing is moo

for many years has devoted large appropriations
