Suggests Way to Prevent Pneumonia.


Columbia, Mo-, Dec. 31.-Just now
10 good time to look out for pneu-
monia, according to DIR. M. P. Ravenal
of the School of Medicine of the Uni
versity of Missouri, president of the
American Public Health Association.
Pneumonia, or Inflammation of the
lungs, is disease of the winter
months. 1t is seen in two forms: one
called lobar, in which large portions
Of, the lung become solidifed, and the
other called neutrality-suspicious., in
which smaller areas widely spread
through the lung are affected. The
former is seen most commonly in
adults; the latter, in children and old
persons. Pneumonia frequently fol-
lows other diseases, especially measles
and influenza, and is frequent cause
of death in these diseases.
During 1918 pneumonia caused T.
337 deaths in Missouri, while tubercu-
losis killed only 4,5S7. The influenza
epidemic increased the death rate
above that usually seen. Vaeeines to
prevent pneumonia were tried in
some camps during the war with ap-
parent success, and the study is being
continued. A thoroughly successful
vaccine would be a great boon, but
the matter is still in the experimental
stage.
Apart from vaccines, the best
measures of prevention are those
directed to keeping the body in good
condition. Avoid eating, ex-
cessive fatigue, poorly ventilated
rooms Especially sleeping apart
ments,) and indoor crowds. A daily
cold bath keeps the skin in good con-
dition and prevents oyer-sensitive-
ness to cold. sHsaTy clothing and
that which constricts the circulation
should also be avoided.
During epidemics of diseases which
pre- dispose to pneumonia, it is es-
pecially imp ortant to avoid crowds,
and particularly those indoors. M
Avoid coughing and sneezing per-
sons. Do not allow them to cough
or sneeze in your face. Persons who
would not think of spitting-in ones
face do not hesitate to sneeze and
cough without protecting the mouth
and nose with handkerchief. Coughs
and sneezes break up the spit into a
fine spray, which is just as objection
able as, and more dangerous than.
\ masses of spit. Do not let others
spit on you, and do not spit on others

A Glaring Inconsistency.


The Southern Baptish Association
made splendid pronouncement upon
the subject of the rights of the in
diyidual conscience and the Ameri-
can principles of religious freedom
during their recent convention he'd
in this city. What a broad, liberal
statement is this:T "All people have G
right to approach God, worship him
and serve him as they see fit without
any ecclesiastical or state interference.
Religion is voluntary matter"
During the fourth meeting, however,
they completely reversed themselves
on the subject of religious liberty by
passing resolution urging Baptists
everywhere "to press upon their
Congressman the vital Importance of
observing Sunday as civil instifd-
ton in this critical period of our ma
tional history; and urge legislation on
this pressing question in the District
of Columbia"
1t seems strange that the Baptists
who were once prosecuted becaus5
the state enforced religious obliga-
tions by civil penalties, should now
urge Congress to violate the Constitu-
tional guarantees of religious freedom
by legislating upon q religious ques-
ton under the pretext that it is ssa
civil institution"
The Fourth of July is civil holiday
because it is observed in honor of the
state, but Sunday is a religious institu-
tion observed in honor OF the resurr
rection. If Sunday and the Fourth of
July are both civil institutions, why
not let them rest upon the some basis,
and let both be observed patriotically
without church interference? Nobody
is compelled to refrain from labor or
business on the Fourth of July. Why
should the churches be more concern
ed about general Sunday observance
than the observance of the Fourth of
July, if both are civil institutions?
Calling a religious institution civil
institution does not make it such, any
more than calling sheep a goat
makes it goat.

Worship By Force.
lst. louis Post-pispatch.l

In condemning the blue law Sunday
program of the Lords Day Alliance,
Archbishop Glennon is quoted as say
ing: "We cannot by law compel
people to worship. We have free.
dom in that respect. We have no
state church and no state religion"
Such an assertion would have been
accepted without dissent short time
ago as a statement of fact, To-day it
is debatable postulate. In any
event, it is certain that if we have not
q state church we are moving steadily
in that direction. If the eighteenth
amendment does not erect an edifce
OF stone and glass, with mandatory
ritual, it does impose an arbitrary
standard of conduct upon the Ameri-
can people. And such imposition is d
tyranny characteristic of state relig-
ion in one of its Objectionable func-
tionings.
The connection between the eight
eenth amendment and the blue-law
Sunday program is evolutionary.
The blue law movement is the logic
al next step in the process of repres-
sion. Such proposed regulation, in
the name of morality, or godliness,
or whatever name it masquerades un-
der, may seem preposterous to many
of US. But there is nothing preposter-
ous to fanticism which finds itself so
powerful that it is able to regulate
the drink and food of the greatest
nation in the world. When the
Amerscan housewife, preparing a
mince pieor plum pudding in her
own kitchen, may inadvertently be-
cbme violator of the law and be
liable to a fine and Imprisonment, is
there any restriction Or compnlsion
which intolerance may not aonfident-
ly propose?
The unhappy and inexplicable
feature Of the blue law Sunday pro-
gram feature also of the prohibit
tion movements the enthusiastic
support it is receiving from SO mauy
churchmen. 1t is trite to say that the
abridgement OF the liberty of any of
the people inevitably makes for the
oppression of all the people. Yet to
obvious truth many estimable, we'll
meaning persons are blind Our
repressionists today are following the
same path which the liquor interests
followed. They are as arrogantly
defiant of decency. That is to be ex-
pected of fanatics, but when ministers
identity themselves with such enter
prises they surely should have the
candor and the courage to acknowl
edge that they are doing SO as in.
dividuals and quite without the sane
tion of the gospel they profess to
4 preach.
Archbishop Glennon's judgment OF
the blue-law Sunday was pronounced
long ago by another churchman
Roger Williams passionately declared
that "Any church that uses the arm
OF the civil power to enforce It'll
claims is not church of Jesus Christ
Were weightier authority needed i
may be cited in the philosophy of ths
great Teacher, whose natal ami
versary we have Just observed-a
philosophy whose breadth excluded
negation, whose gentleness and wis
dom rose serenely and constructively
above the force of might and violence
towhich negation, in practice, neces,
sarily and fatally resorts.

EASILY DOWNS
c & A3PLAYERS

The American Legion football team
defeated the c. & A. team yesterday
afternoon at Warren by a score of 40
to before about 1000 people.
The c. & A. team was heaviest but
the Legion team held them fast. The
playing of the Monihan boys and Har-
ry Wright on the c. & A. team was
deserving OF mention. Wright played
an exceptionally good game and made
more gains for that team than any of
the others.
On the Legion team, Byron Thomas
who was playing with broken arm,
starred. He did most of the kicking
for the team and when he did not
kick his place was taken by Len Bed
ford. Bedford was good also on the
defense. Amman and Johnny Salmon
made good runs for the Legion team.
There were only two bad passes
made by the teams, one being charged
to each, an exceptionally good show
ing for teams that have not had any
more practice.
Both teams lost about ten yards by
these passes.
The Legion team made the most of
it's long gains on forward passes and
trick plays The Legion team was

BUENOS AIRES, Nov. 11.-Ninety
hours from Cadiz, TO Buenos Aires by

or daring sporting adventure but a
feasible commercial project to the
Spanish capitalists who are backing
Comandante Emilio Herrera, Spanish
aviator and aviation expert. in his
plans for regular transatlantic pas.
senger, mail and parcel air, service
Herrera, who is returning to Spain
after visit here said that company
is now being formed to finance this
proposed first transatlantic air line
contemplating dividends of five per.
cent, guaranteed by the government
of Spain, under a new law which
makes it possible to guarantee ven.
lures of a public nature with public
funds. King Alphonso and Premier
Maura are enthusiastically in favor
of the new line, he said and no diff
guarantee.
Herrera stated that the company
proposes to operate two airships of
the Zeppelin type, about 900 feet
long, and capable of carrying 20 pas
sengers besides the mail and parcel
matter. These crafts are to be con.
structed in Spain by German work
men and with German materials so
as to gain full advantage of the tech
nical experience of the original Zepp.
elm designers.
Herrera, who has left representa-
tives in Buenos Aires to effect his
plans here, said that he hoped that
the line would be in full operation in
1928.
