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.
 '"rhe present epidemic" said Sur geon General Blue, has taught by bit ter experience how readily a condition beginning apparently as a 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 mid and unecognized, which will be danger spots to be guarded against" The Surgeon General likened the present situation to that after a 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 rekindling from smol- dering embers"
 Then you fear another outbreak of infiuenza7" 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 Il heavy death toll from pneumo- nla and other respiratory diseases.
 Common Colds Highly Catching.
 Tt is .ncouraging to observe that people are beginning to learn that or dinary 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 It is also good to know that people have learned something about the value o. fresh air. In summer, when people are largely out of doors, the respira- tory diseases Coughs, colds, pneumo- nia, 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 proyaIanf

Suitable Clothing Important.

"Still another factor In the produe- don of colds, pneumonia and other re, spiratOry diseases Is carelessness or ig- norance of the people regarding sui. able clothing during the seasons whel the weather suddenly changes, sittin in warm rooms too heavily dressed O. what is even more common, especial among women, dressing so lightly tha windows are kept closed In order to b. comfortably warm. This Is a very in furious practice.
 Could Save 100000 Lives
 "I believe We could easily save one hundred thousand lives annually in the United States if all the people would adopt the system of fresh air living followed, for example, in tuber- culosis sanatoria There Is nothing mysterious about it-no specific medi- cine, no vaccine. The important thing is right living, good food and plenty of fresh air.
 propIet Infection Explained In PIotursa
 The Bureau Of Public Health, Treasury Department, has just issued a striking poster drawn by Bergman, the well-known Washington cartoonist. The poster exemplties the modern method of health education. 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 DO time and no desire to wade through the technical phrase ology."

market for coffee futures opened yester-
day at advances of . to 20 points. due to
the fact that Front street trade interest

December That interest was a large
buyer on Tuesday. Demand and buy
ing by one or two Wall Street houses
continued throughout the morning, and
at midday prices were 20 TO 80 points net
higher, longs supplying most OF the Of
ferings. During the early afternoon the
market eased of with an absence Of de-
mand and on comparatively small offer
ings. but later regained some OF the loss,
closing at net gains of points. Yes
torday's advance on comparatively small
buying orders suggested that the long
lines disturbed by the agitation against
the high cost OF living and unsettled gem
liquidated by the close OF the market on
Monday.
The afternoon news from the Street
indicated an unsettled and irregular spot
situation. Some holders asked as high
as 22% for Rio Is, Others quoted from
22A TO 22%e, Business was reported as
