More to the point, the struggles of the dia-
mond and gridiron and race track and ring,

for combat to such a marked degree that we

The Better Air fer Pneumonia.

The Better Air fer Pneumsaia.
Interesting, il not logical, are the
conclusions drawn by a chief OF
the medical service in one of our
great base hospitals from observa-
ton OF an epidemic OF pneumonia
among soldiers in October, Novem-
Der, December and January last
when the influenza epidemic was
raging.
Up to Nov. "a the open air treat
ment was in vogue. All windows
and doors were kept open in the
wards, irrespective of weather con-
ditions day and night. No screens
or blankets were used 20 exclude
drafts. Soldiers with pneumonia
were urged to keep their heads
close to the open windows 30 they
could breathe the cold air sweep
ing in. If a soldier complained OF
feeling chilly, he was told that il
was good for him, that fresh air
would make him well. No cotton
jackets or so-calIed chest-protec
tors were applied. Ward fires were
allowed to go out at night. On cold
days the wards often became very
chilly. As the major in charge re-
marks: ANY chnician who has
walked through long wards OF sol
dlers desperately sick with pneu-
monia, every man lying with his
head and chest to an open window
through which, on cold days and
cold nights, cold and often damp
winds were blowing, who has seen
these men with pinched blue faces
and cold hands and feet and has
heard them again and again re-
quest that the windows and doors
be closed to keep them from feel
ing chilly, cannot help but be con-
WINGED that this form of manage
ment for sick patients with an
acute disease like pneumonia is
unwise."
Well, the doctor puts is mildly
Such management betrays an in
excusable ignorance of the funda-
mental principles of open air treat
ment in any illness, and if it is ap
piled in the base hospital as de-
scr1bed it was nothing less than
cruel maltreatment.
The simple underlying principle
of open air treatment for any ILL
ness that the patient must be com
Portable. If the patient is not
kept comfortable as regards body
warmth. that is proof that the ply
stefan in charge does not know his
business or that the nursing is in
efficient. The principle, as stated,
is very simple; its application re-
quires considerable good Judgment.
little experience, a little sympa-
thy with the patient, and just an
ordinary amount of common sense.
A doctor lacking one or more of
these qualifications should let the
OPP A air treatment alone.
Nov. "a all this was changed.
Doors and windows were ordered
kept shut, fires we're kept going,
pneumonia Jackets were kept on
the patients. doctors were instruct
ed not to uncover patients unless

Dear Mrs. Thompson: Why not

ers are not gossipers, but there are
a few women who make cards their
whole life, saying mean and Sian

else's son or daughter and often
whole families without the least
provocation.

This is no longer a village, but

@ What is Indian summer?
W. A S.
A. After the first cold spells of
autumn there is often a period of
mild, hay weather which is known
as Indian summer. II has no reg
ular place on the calendar and may
appear any time during October
or November, or may not appear at
all.
Q. How does appropriations for
agriculture 20 years ago compare
with those Of today? M. B. C.
A. The growth of the import
ance of the department OF agricul-
ture may be judged by the growth
of its appropriations since 1890.
By 5-year periods they are as fol-
lows: 1890. s1,e7O, 900; 1895,
$3,227, 900; 1900, s3.726, 900; 1905,

Q. Do Indians wear boards?
T. Fl.
A Indians have naturally very
sparse boards. These they usual
ly pluck out, hair by hair. An oc-
casional Indian with a beard NAV
be seen among the Mexicans in the
southwest. The beard is always
crinkled like that of a Chinaman.
Q. Does an American lose his
citizenship if he accepts a foreign
title? d. K.
A. There is no provision against
a private citizen accepting a title.
but a government official is forbid
den by law to do so. This is COW
cred by the constitution which
states: mo title of nobility shall
be granted by the United States
and no person holding any Office of
profit or trust under them shall,
without the consent of congress,
accept any present, emoluments,
