Pneumonia as a Complication.


Pneumonia as a complication of in
fluenza occurs, according to Edwards,
in s per cent of cases and is the most
frequent and important complication.
1t often causes the formation of
minute assesses in the lungs. 1t usu-
ally begins without chill. during or
after the attack, altho pneumonia oc-
casionally may be the first sign of
influenza. The mortality is 20 to 80
per cent. Without doubt the percent
age of influenza cases that developed
pneumonia during the recent epidemic
was higher than 6 per cent.
The number attacked in an epidemic
is usually enormous. In 1S89-90 the
disease affected so to IS per cent of
the population. It is certain that in
fluenza increases the total number OF
deaths from pneumonia and tubercu-
losis, especially in the weak and aged.
In the mortality statistics issued by
the director of the census for the
year 1917, there were 1874
deaths from influenza, correspond
ing to a rate of 17.2 per 100000
population, as compared to total OF
1886 deaths in 1916, corresponding
to rate of 26.4. The highest rate in
any one year from 1900 to 1917, in
elusive, was 1922 per 100000 popula-
ton for 1901. The rate for Kansas
for 1917 was 29.3; for 1916, 1913, and
for 1915, 25.6.

A Legend of Eden.

When Adam and Eve turned away

Spirit Tax Raises Make
Holland Dry for Poor
Increases VIII Not Affect the
Price of Beer for
Dutch Drinkers

THE HAGUE, Dec. 25.-The dry
forces to-day succeeded in putting
through the Dutch Parliament, after q
hard fight, law increasing the in
ternal revenue tax en- spirits $50 per
cnt and on beer 100 per cent after
January /. AS the present tax amounts
to approximately $50 gui ders a liter
on gin manufactured in Holland and
8 so guiders a liter on imported
whisky, cognac, etc, the effect of the
Increase, according to the drys. will be
TO make spirits practically prohbitive
for the poor.
The beer tax now amounts only to a
fraction Of a cent a glass and the new
increase Is not expected to change the
rrice materially
