LoBAR PNEUMONIA.

AS stated in last weeks issue
pneumonia is an Infectious disease
and may after a reasonable length
of time deyelope either a favorable
or unfavorable condition. 1t is pos
sible for the disease to terminate
in gangrene of the lung, in an
absess, in the purulent infiltration
of the lung tissue or it may bring
about disastrous changes in other
organs and viscera, /. g., the heart
spleen, liver, kidneys etc. This germ
in which produces pneumonia is
frequently found in the mouth, nose
and air passages of healthy individ-
uals and it is claimed that it can
be found in at least 30 per cent OF
the cases examined and that pneu-
monia is due to the migration of the
germs from the nose or mouth into
the pulmonary areoli. 1t is positive
ly present in over 80 per cent of the
cases of pneumonia and may be de-
tected for months or years after
discovery. BY this we may under
stand why pneumonia may be con-
Itracted from one who has or is
convalescing. Persons who drink al
cohol are especially prone to this
disease. In fact any or all habits
which show a, tendency to depress
the nervous system will predispose
one to this disease. The first at
tack usually leaves the system more
or less weakened so that repeated
attacks (ten or more) sometime oc-
cur in the same individual,
Age is also an important factor in
this disease. 1t is claimed that the
mortality from this disease is great
er after the twentieth year and that
it increases. Sex has little influence
although some believe that the dis
ease is more fatal to female than
male. Once this disease has taken
hold on a alcoholic, he or she rarely
escapes death. Persons who are
very fat or fleshy usually have hard
times. All persons having pneumonia
should be isolated in a well aired
room with fresh air and as much
sunshine as possible may be breath
ed by the patient. Fresh air in

appetite, reduced the temperature,
pulse and respiration rate and lessen
the cough. In fact it has been proven
that patients treated in this way
are less toxic than those who don't
get enough of the fresh air or sun
shine. 1t is also very important
that they should remain in bed at
least one week after the crisis had
passed. The diet should be given
both light and sparingly especially
while there is evidence of fever.
The food, usually milk, should be
given at brief intervals and indefi-
mite quantities. In meeting high
fevers, marked nervous symptoms,
difficult breathing, ETC., hydrother-
Apply may sometimes be used to
great advantages For high temper
atures, ice bags over the head, chest
or abdomen are useful, cool spong-
ing combined with the ice pack
serve as a substitute to the tub
bath. 1t is well to keep the re-
cepticle for the sputum.
Diphtheria is an acute infectious
disease caused by the klebs, loffler
bacillus and characterized by sore
throat, enlarged glands, chills fol-
lowed by fevers, pain, stiff neck,
loss of appetite.

ray YouR roLL tax VOW.

Every real citizen who desires
that his place OF dwelling may have
that which Is best, finds pleasure
in SO sltuating himself that he may
express his will in regard to what
ever may be proposed
The ballot Is the means by which
the preferences OF the majority OF
the members OF any community are
expressed, The way to the sue
cessful use OF the ballot is by the
payment OF Poll Tax.
The time for payment OF this
tax is now at hand and. while the
thoughtful citizen does not need to
be reminded OF his duty in this re-
gard, there are many others less
thoughtful who through negligence
allow the time for payment to lapse
and find themselves voteless as a
result.
Pay your Poll Tax now and
guarantee to yourself the ability
10 express your desires concerning
all matters submitted for popular
decision.
II would be we'll II, as far as
our group Is concerned, special
campaign could be waged which
could have as its object the educa-
ton of our men and women of vot-
ing age as to the power and intent
OF suffrage. There are too few OF
u who see the need OF qualifying
for voting. Too many OF us allow
"the other fellow to do Il. The
result is lack Of political co
herence and direction which some
times makes itself felt in an UNI
favorable way.
Let each OF us OF voting age,
male and female. pay our Poll Tax
now and urge others to do the
same.

EYES AND THEIR DEFECTS.
By F. S. Rogers, o. D.

Those who lead what is called a
strenuous life are at last awak-
ening to the fact that unless they
stop all the little leaks in their sup
ply of nervous energy they will
some line day experience the break
down that usually presedes the
breakup.
Locomotives that run at high
speed have to be kept in perfect
order, and it is the same way with
the human engine. The old law that
that which cannot be cured must
be endured" applies in relation to
the eyes, with the exception that
while eye-strain cannot exactly be
cured, it can be relieved, at least
during the time that glasses are be-
ing worn which neutrilze the causes
that produce it.
| Eye of the present generation
are born no better, nor worse, than
those of previous generations. 1t
| is simply the advancement that has
been made in the knowledge of OPP
| tonletry, together with the needs
of the times, which has popularized
glasses.
If you will take the trouble to
count the people you pass on the
street, you will find that one-third
of them of 20 years OF age and
over wear glasses. To this number
must be added a considerable num-
her who wear glasses only while
reading or writing.
The reason for this very large
proportion of the population wear
ing glasses is due largely to eye
strain contracted in youth and not
noticed or is overlooked until the
time arrives when the eyes refuse
to focus properly and in many
cases, when too long neglected, pro-
ducing such strain on the eye mus
cles and injury to the nerve cen
ters that considerable expense and
discomfort are entailed before the
sight can be restored, or partially,
TO normal.
Depleted accommodation of the
eye muscles is present in majority
of eases and is usually overlooked
until such time that the constant
wearing of glasses is necessary.
When an individuals vision be-
come impaired, it is absolutely safe
for him to first consult an optome-
trist. The optometrist receives an
eXacting and rigorous training in
the schools; as candidate of licen-
sure he is subjected to critical eX-
animation; and as an active special
ist in this field he requires a spe-
cial aptitude for the manipulation
of instruments and the recognition
of every variety of eye abnormality.
In the majority of cases, the chances
are that only correcting glasses, are
needed In the small majority in
which a truly diseased condition
EXISTS, the optometrist can be re-
lied upon to recognize the pathol-
ogic state and may be trusted to re-
fer the case to a practitioner OF
medicine.
