DEATH OF MRS. GEO. BLUNINER.
Aged IAidy Passed Away After Long

Aged IAitly Passed Away After Long
IlIness-Taken to Baltimore.
There are many who will learn
with regret Of the death of Mrs. Geo.
Blumner, which occurred at the home
Of Mrs. Mary n. Ansel, in Walhalla,
on Sunday night last at 1915 o'clock.
Mrs. Blumner had been seriously i'll
for some three months past, and it
was known that her condition was be-
yond hope Of recovery, the only SER
vice that could be rendered her being
to make the remaining days Of life
as comfortable As possible. She suf-
fered from a serious heart trouble,
which was complicated by other dis
eases incident to age.
Mrs. Blumner was a native of Ger
many, having been born in Hamburg
on July 10th, 1910. In early life she
was married to George Blumner, and
shortly after their marriage they
came to America, residing most Of
the time in Baltimore. Before mar
riage she was Miss Dorothy Lauter-
bach. Her husband died in Baltimore
in 1907, his body being buried in
Woodlawn cemetery, Baltimore.
Phree children were born to Mr.
and. Mrs. Blumner, these being Mrs.
A. r. l.. Dohme, Of Baltimore, who
died in 1908; Frances (Mrs. John A. .
AnseD Of Walhalla, and Henry Blum
ner, Of Baltimore, who died in 1911.
Mrs. Blumner had made her home in
Walhalla with her daughter, Mrs. j.
A. Ansel, since Oct. 8, 1909. She is
survived by only one daughter, Mrs
Ansel, and there are nine grand
children, six Of these being the
daughters Of Mrs. Dohme and one
son and two daughters of Mr.. and
Mrs Ansel. Mrs. Blumner was the
last member Of her own family.
The deceased was splendid wo-
man, a devout Christian and de-
voted member OF the Lutheran
church. Her kindly disposition and
her interest in the welfare Of others
drew to her many friends among our
people, and she was Eat home" to a
marked degree in Walhalla, where
her friends were counted by the num-
Der OF her acquaintances. She will
be greatly missed by wide circle Of
friends, who grieve with the be-
reaved ones at the passing of sin
cere, loving and lovable friend.
Funeral services were held at the
Ansel home on Main street at 1.30
o'clock Tuesday afternoon, the SER
vices being conducted by Rev. w. B.

CAN'T TELL ABOUT INFLUENZA,
One Attack Seems to Confer Imml,-
nifty to Sufferer for Years.


''There is absolutely no way Of def
nitely foretelling whether this winter
Will witness any recurrence Of influ-
enza in epidemic FORM" said Surgeon
General II. S. Cumming, of the Uni
ted States Public Health Service. "As
result, however, of very careful
analyses OF the epidemiology of in
f1uenza, especially az the result of
intensive studies in homes where in
fluenza occurred in 1918 and 1919,
It may be stated that an attack .sof
influenza appears 10 confer a definite
immunity to subsequent attacks-an
immunity lasting for several years.
1nasmuch as the epidemic Of 1918
and 1919 affected so very large pro-
portion Of the population there would
seem to be reasonable grounds for
believing that, even II flu should
become prevalent here and there, it
would not assume the epidemic pro-
portions Of the past two years, nor
would 1T rage in such severe form.
at is unfortunate that the public
becomes so intensely interested in
spectacular epidemic outbreaks Of
disease and Is so little moved by the
daily occurrence Of many prevent
able deaths in all parts of the coun-
try. OF the one and one-quarter mil
lion deaths occurring in the United
States annually, ht least 100000
could easily be prevented by the ap-
plication Of available medical knowl-
edge. For example, one of the dis
eases which becomes prevalent about
this time Of the year is diphtheria.
This disease Is responsible for about
5000 deaths in the United Sta es
annually Practically every one OF
these deaths could be prevented, for
not only have we an effective anti
toxin for treating the disease when
it occurs, but what is still more I'M
portant, we are now able, by means
OF simple skin test, to determine
which children are susceptible to
diphtheria, and, this ascertained, we
can effectively immunize them 50 as
to protect them against this disease.
"The 10000 or more deaths from
typhoid fever that occur annually in
the United States could also be very
largely prevented IL communities
everywhere would make certain that
their water and milk supplies were
protected. and II simple precautions
were taken in homes where typhoid
fever occurs. 1t Is encouraging to
know that smallpox has been so well
controlled that at present the aver
age deaths from 1t in the United
states number only 400 annually.
Nevertheless, these 400 deaths are
entirely unnecessary, for vaccination
has long shown itself an effective
means Of control"
In almost every community in the
country the wastage In infant lives
Is still enormous, especially when
contrasted with that in New Zealand,
for example, where the death rate Is
only SO per thousand births in the
first year Of life as against 100 in
the United States.
Commenting on this, Surgeon Gem
eral Cumming said:
"The expense OF life-saving
through the prevention and control
OF disease by we'll directed health
measures IS very small indeed when
contrastcd with the saving effected.
