Forecasts Of spring FASHIONS.

In seasonable article, the February
number of Good Housekeeping tells it's
readers what will be worn this spring
and summer, having won favor in Paris
and New York For one thing, there is
to be more color, and suits are to be
rather more popular than the separate
coat Coats to suits are to be of box
effect and finger tip length or shorter.
Most of the coats win e slim, I'M
belted. with no hint of curve at the
waistlne, and when any belt is used it is
a mere cord, with only the slightest full
ness at the back of the coat. Sport coats
and long coats have some fullness, with
belts an inch or an inch and a half wide.
While there is considerable discussion
over the proper length for skirts, Paris
dressmakers have decided to lengthen
them a little this spring, six inches from
the ground being considered preferable to
seven inches, the established length for
some time.
Of the new frocks, many of them show
a tunic dropped over the narrow skirt to
give the appearance Of greater fullness

Pneumonia and the ENDEMIC.

Even under ordinary conditions, pneu-
m0nia causes more deaths in this coun-
try than any other disease, and with the
October epidemic and the miider one that
has swept parts of the country in the
past few weeks this year the usual total
will be doubled Or possibly trebled. Pneu-
monia is more prevalent in America than
in Europe and has been called "the fatal
American disease Disease germs pro
duce an inflammation of the lungs, known
to us as pneumonia. The air cells become
filled with infammatory matter and the
lung is thus converted into an almost
solid tissue. There are many varieties
of pneumonia and the disease may be
caused by many different germs, but the
condition produced in the lungs and many
of the symptoms are similar.
DR.. Hermann M. Biggs, NJ. D., Ii. D.,
commissioner of health of New York
City, in an article in the February mum
Der of McCalls Magazine on How Can
We Keep Well?' states positively that
pneumonia is communicable. He says:
"The resistance of the individual at the
time of exposure apparently determines
the result. If the person is well and in

the nose and throat may produce no
symptoms or only those of an ordinary
cold, while if one is in poor condition, or
is over fatigued, or is exposed to the
weather, a real pneumonia may develop"
In his estimation, fatigue is one of the
most common predisposing causes Of the
development Of pneumonia, Alcohol is
another ally of the pneumonia germ and
even moderate drinkers show a much
higher death rate than do abstainers,
while in habitual drinkers the mortality
is excessive.
DR.. Biggs goes on to say that the oc-
currence of pneumonia is almost I'M
known where people live and sleep in the
open air even in the coolest climates
and in all conditions OF weather.
Of the 100000 deaths in the United
States during October and November
from influenza and pneumonia, practi-
cally all were really due to the latter,
influenza itself rarely proving fatal ex-
cept through the complications which
follow or accompany il, the chief of this
being pneumonia in some form.
