STREET CAR OR
MICROBE WHICH?


Which would you rather be hit by.
street car or a microbe9 The Wis
consin state board of health thinks enc
is as dangerous as the other with the
chances, if any, in favor of the street
car victim. In ifs report issued to-
day it says:
"a recent writer of popular medical
books says it does not make much diff
ference whether one is hit by a street
car or a microbe. The result does not
vary greatly. A noted physician was
hurrying across the street ten days ago
and street car struck him, resulting
in a fracture of the skull and other in
iuries. He is now in a hospital, but
making rapid strides to a complete re-
covery.
Hit by Microbe.
A leading woman of Wisconsin, a
writer and educator of note, was sud
denly stricken with pneumonia and
died in five days. Many of us carry
the germs Of pneumonia in our mouths
more or less constantly, and if our
bodies are not properly protected from
the rigors of winter or if we overeat
or are careless in other ways about our
living conditions, these germs of pneu-
monia set up an active disease and
worse than if we had been hit by
street car.
"Pneumona and tuberculosis are
causing far more death in Wisconsin
than any other two disease. The death
rate from tuberculosis is gradually and
steadily diminishing because of the
intelligent and persistent campaign car
ried on against this disease for the
past ten years The death rate from
pneumonia is not decreasing, but in
stead that has been a slight increase
for several years and big one in the
past two years.
Pneumonia Contagious.
Every one should know that pneu-
monia is contagious disease and if
the infection is carried from person to
person, in the same manner that in
lection is carried in whooping cough
and influenza. The secretions of the
mouth and nose Of a person sffeuring
from pneumonia contain the germs for
weeks and even for months after the
person RECEIVERS from the disease. For
a long time he may be menace to
those with whom he comes in contact.
" If the death rate from pneumonia
is to be diminished, we must dress
more sanely to meet the changes Of
weather. We must increase our resist
ance by avoiding over-crowding, close
sleeping quarters, over or under feed
ing and other causes of poor health.
BY keeping the mouth and nasal cav
tiles clean and by avoiding contact
with those suffering from pneumonia
or those who have recently recovered
from the disease, we add another meas
