A food map of Europe today shows
not a single country in which the flu
ture does not hold threat of serious
difficulties and only small part which
is not rapidly approaching the famine
point. With the exception of the
Ukraine only those countries which
have maintained marine commerce
have sufficient food supplies to meet
actual needs until next harvest, and
even in the Ukraine, with stores accu-
INFLATED on the farms, there is famine
in the large centers of population.
Belgium and northern France, as
well as Serbia, appear on the hunger
map distinct from the rest of Europe
because they stand in a different rela-
ton from the other nations to the peO-
pie of the United States. America has
for four years maintained the small
war rations of Belgium and northern
France and is already making special
efforts to care for their increased
after-the-war needs, which, with those
of Serbia, must be included in this
plan, are urgent in the extreme and
must have immediate relief.
The gratitude of the Belgian nation
for the help America has extended to
her during the war constitutes the
strongest appeal for US to continue our
work there. The moment the German
armies withdrew from her soil and she
was established once more in her own

Germany. on the other hand, need
not figure in such q map for Ameri
cans because there is no present indi-
cation that we shall be called on at all
to take thought FOR the food needs of
Germany. Germany probably can care
for her own feed problem if she is
given access to shipping and is enabled
to distribute food TO the cities with
dense populations. which are the trou-
BILE centerS-
England, France. the Netherlands
and Portugal, all of which have been
maintained from American supplies,
have sufficient food TO meet immediate
needs, but their future presents seri-
Gus difficulties. The same is true of
Spain and the northern neutral cOun-
tries-NOrway, Sweden and Denmark
whose ports have been open and who
have been able to draw 10 some degree
upon foreign supplies.
Most of Russia is already in the
throes of famine, and 100000 people
there are beyond the possibility of
help. Before another spring thou
sands of them inevitably must die.
This applies as well to Poland and
practically throughout the Baltic re-

gions, with conditions most serious in
Finland.
Bohemia, Serbia, Roumania and
Montenegro have already reached the
famine point and are suffering a heavy
toll Of death. The Armenian popula-
ton is falling each week as hunger
takes its toll, and in Greece, Albania
and ROumania so serious are the food
shortages that famine is near. AL
though starvation is not yet imminent,
Italy, Switzerland, Bulgaria and Tur-
key are in the throes of serious strin-
gencies.
In order to fulfill Americas pledge
in world relief we Will have to export
every ton of food which can be han
died through our ports. This means at
the very least a minimum of 100000
tons compared with 100000 tons pre-
war exports and 11,S20,O00 tons ex-
ported last year, when we were bound
by the ties of war to the European
allies.
If we fail to tighten the black spots
on the hunger map or if we allow any
portions to become darker the very
peace for which we fought and bled
will be threatened. Revolt and anarchy
inevitably follow famine. Should this
happen we will see in other parts of
Europe a repetition of the Russian de
bacle and our fight for world peace
will have been in vain.

Washington, D. C.-With the subsid-
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 a slight cold
may go on to pneumonia and death.
Although the worst of the epidemic is
over, there will continue to be a 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
great fire, saying, mo fire chief who
understands his business stops playing
the hose on the charred debris as soon
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
infuenza?'' 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 pneumo-
MIA and other respiratory diseases.
Common Colds Highly Catching.
ut is encouraging TO observe that
people are beginning to learn that Or
binary coughs and colds are highly
catching and, are spread from person
to person by means of dropiets OF
germ laden mucus. Such dropiets are
sprayed into the air when careless OF
ignorant people cough or sneeze with
out covering their mouth and nose Ii
is also good TO know that people nave
learned something about the value o.
fresh air In summer, when people
are largely out Of doors, the respira

su!tas.e Clothing Important.

"StiIl another factor in the produc-
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.
Could Save 100000 Lives.
81 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.
DropIet Infection Explained in Pictures.
The Bureau of Public Health,
Treasury Department, has just issued
a striking poster drawn by Bergman,
the well-known Washington cartoonist
The poster exemplifies 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 no time and no, desire
to wade through the technical phrase

A QUESTION OF
KEEPING WARM

AS the days pass. and the short
age of fuel becomes more apparent.
ven the most optimistic among us
are coming to take a more serious
view of the coal question. Just when
normal conditions will again prevail
seems now to be beyond the ken
OF those who ought to know. Day
by day the restrictions are becoming
more drastic. 1t is estimated now
that, the country will be without fuel
in another three weeks. and the out
put at that time insufficient to sup
ply railroads and vitality essential in
dustries-with never a chance of the
retailer getting any for the customer
This may be a rather dark forecast,
but seem to be justified by condi-
lions.
During the past week or ten days
thousands of families in the North,
suffering the rigOrs of belOw-Zcro
weather. have been literally freezing.
In these cases, fuel administrators
haze called upon those citizens who
had coal to divide with the less for
Iululc. IL Nl' u'lll'u Viz ltiu'oN
his coal was promptly taken over and
give to the suffering, leaving
all on the same plane.
The warning is plain: Where tn,
weather is such as to bring extreme
hardship and suffering to the less
fortunate. they are to have as mucl
fuel as others, for unto him WHIT
hath not will be given, and from hin
who hath will be taken away.
Councils of defense over the Dun
try are taking the matter in hand
and as long as n has coal. hi
neighbor also shall have it-even /
it has to be taken by force.
Therefore. we may as well mai
up our minds to divide, if occasion
demands, for we are likely to have I
do SO anyway.
