Suitable Clothing Important.

"Still another factor in the pr0duc-
ton Of colds, pneumonia and other re-
spiratory diseases is carelessness or ig-
norance Of the people regarding suit
able clothing during the seasons when
the weather suddenly changes, sitting
in warm rooms too heavily dressed or
what is even more common, especially
among women, dressing so lightly that
windows are kept closed in order to be
comfortably warm. This is a very in
furious practice.

Common Colds Highly Catching.

at is Encouraging to observe that
people are beginhtDg to learn that or
binary 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 1t
is also good to know that people have
learned something about the value of
fresh air. In summer, when people
are largely out of DOORS the respira-
tory diseases Coughs, colds, pneumo-
mia, etc.) are infrequent; in the fall,
rs 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
prevalent.

Washington, D. C.-With the suhsid:=
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 a 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.
1.-The present epidemic" said Sur
geon General Blue, "has taught by bit
ter experience how readily 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 and unrecognized, which
will be danger spots to be guarded
against" The Surgeon General likened
the present situation to that after a
great fire, saying, mo 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 reminding from smol-
dering embers"
"Then you fear another outbreak OF
inf1uenza?" 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 a heavy death toll from ptaeumo-
MIA and other respiratory diseases.

But it is not fair to say that that
is all Japan controls, for 10 her con-
troll of railroad and mining rights she
can affect the economic life of China
far beyond her leasehold rights, but
it does not bring 100000 subjects
Of Japan by long shot.
Japan holds that her word is as
good as the word of any other nation
on earth; nor does it seem possible
that she will break the word given
in her treaty to China, knowing as
she does that 45 other nations are
looking on, expecting fulfllment.
At the time of this writing, Presi-
dent Wilson is working with China
and Japan, hoping to get Japan to
name, and China to accept, date OF
delivery that will be acceptable 70

tween the time of writing and print
ing this but in no way will affect the
historical facts stated herein.
And it may work out best for Chi
ma after all
China got sample Of German eff
cheney in building and engineering,
and was finally freed Of the danger OF
German militarism.
Japan took up the work, and it is
understood that the mass Of railroads
and rolling stock and mining equip
ment will be turned back to China.
Could China handle them now?
Wouldn't It be a blessing to that
mass of humanity, huddled together
in that small province, to have Using

lied city, to nave the modern meth
DDS of mining and raiIrOading there,
all forced on them against their will
and all left there for their own de-
velopment, without the handicap of
the military spirit that brought them
there?
Suppose Senator Lodge has his way
and the league of nations is turned
down. Japan still has her treaty
with China, her recognized rights
there, without her promise to the
world to get out in reasonable time.

China could not have gotten back in

+ Enter politics.
President Wilson, democrat, was
the outstanding figure Of the world
Henry Cabot Lodge, republican,
was the leader In the senate.
MI. Lodge looked for an issue.
The senator could not attack the
great features Of the league Of ma
tions because they were built to stop
future wars.

jumped to it.

there for 20 years without the slight

without any Outcry whatever from
the senator.
But now, NOW, with 81 presidential
campaign coming on, the senator must
have a moral issue; the Shantung is

The lntelligencer regrets to note
that the two Senators from West vir-
ginia seem disposed to follow the
fatuous leadership that has so far gov
erned the majority of the United
States Senate. We doubt if In so do

AN ISSUE FOR INDIVIDUALS.

W/E1EN It comes to dyed m the WOOL true blue Re
w publicanism the Wheeling Intellsencer does not
have to yield precedence to any newspaper or individual IN
West Virginia That has been generally and freely ad
united for years.
In view of this those Republicans who have been talking
the position that the Peace treaty. and especially the
League of Nations ought to be opposed generally BY Re,
publicans will be considerably interested in an editorial
from the columns of The Intellisencer which reproduced
in another place upon this page tonight.
Men and women in public and private life have done
great deal OF very foolish talking about the Peace treaty
and the principles that governed the men who drafted it.
Much of this talk was inspired by an mpeect understand
ing of the position Of this great Republic in the world to-
day. 1t was in shor., based upon prejudces acquired
from school histories and school biographies read very early
in life No one can give real thought the question with
out realizing that there room for such preudces in the
present stage of our national development
What is to the point, no one who studies the sub
ject an impartial manner can help realizing that this great
matter like every other great NATTER is going to be de-
eded BY the American people upon its intrinsic merits and
without reference to the effect Of that decision upon the
fortunes of political parties This newspaper does NOT pre-
tend to know how the American public going to act with
regard to the Peace treaty and the league but does know
that if the natter should be manipulated by the politicians
so that became partisan issue the party which was so
unfortunate as to be the wrong side would be literally
ground 10 pieces Or perhaps would be nearer the truth
to say the organization of that party will be ground to
pieces 1t is of The utmost Importance therefore, that level
headed Republicans do what they can to prevent the Re-
pubcans in congress from engaging in followyour-
leader game which might carry the party over cliff to
destruction.
So far as possible individuals should be encouraged
to do ther own thinking about the Peace treaty and party
organizations should be discouraged from attempting mass
action of any kind.
