To Ward Off
Pneumonia
BY Brice Belden, MD.

n SEUMoNIA is an acute infso-
fection which causes more
deaths than tuberculosis. IL
10 a disease of the lungs and 1t IL
communicated to those in oondi-
ton to contract IL through the Sc
cretions OF the nose and mouth.
Pneumonia may come on suddenly
or IL may be q later complication
Of some other disease.
Splitting is one OF the chief
causes of the spreading OF the dis
ease and the checking of this hltby
habit is one OF the first factors In
preventing Infection. Another way
of heading of pneumonia Is to
avoid colds, as they are often the
beginning of the disease. Thus TO
guard against pneumonia one must
take the same precautions as
aGainst catching cold. Very young
children and old people must be
especially watched as they are very
susceptible to changes In the tenn
perature.
Keeping the general health good
Is one of the best ways of prevent
ing infection by pneumonia as well
as most OF the other diseases. Re
si.tence to disease is kept up by
proper habits of eating. avoidance
of all excesses, taking plenty OF
rest, and getting plenty of fresh
air.
Early treatment of a persistent
cold in the head is always advis-
able, as this condition may be an
indication of trouble in the upper
respiratory tract. In the case of
children every cold should be con-
sidered q source of danger and the
physician should be consulted.
Babies under one year OF age
should be carefully protected from
sources OF colds. as the fatalities
from pneumonia are 25 per cent
during this period. The other age
period showing q high percentage
of fatalities is that from 80 to 20
years.
Places most favorable to infec-
ton by pneumonia are those In
which there are large gatherings
OF people and those homes where
the ventilation is not properly regu-
lated. Exposure TO extreme cold or
dampness out of doors may also
predispose TO Infection.

rejoiced exceedingly.
She had never taken any stern

ners wanted her just as much as
she wanted him. He had made her
believe them. But his soul was In
a turmoil.
Mrs. Herriot's kisses were hor-
ribly like Diana's at their best. In
several ways she was not unlike
Diana. She had the same loving
note in her voice that Diana had
had when she was in love with him.
She had the same trustful way OF
melting into an embrace. Since he
