HOW TO TREAT
PNEUMONIA
BY Brice Belden, NJ. D.

"HE treatment Of pneumonia
has gone through many
stages. One may truthfully
say that the fashions have
changed in the management of
this disease from time to time.
Today the treatment has gotten
down to what might be called q
common sense basis.
In the early days the patient
was dosed with mercury and calo-
mel and opium. He was also bled
and blistered, and at one time
was given drugs Of what is known
as coal-tar group in order to re-
duce the fever. Then in modern
times serums and vaccines have
been tried out, but their use has
not been attended In general by
brilliant success.
As to the fever, that is nova
days regarded as a defensive re-
action on the part Of the body
cells. 1t IL the manifestation of
an antagonism on the part of
these body cells to the invading
bacteria. Therefore II is best not
to lower the fever unless 1t runs
very high indeed In that case
we resort 10 inc teplu sponge
bath. An icecap to the had may
be serviceable.
The windows of tho sick-room
should be kept wide open. regard
less Of atmospheric conditions.
The room temperature may be IS
degrees Fahrenheit. or even
lower.
The diet should consist Of milk.
tunket, Cruel. broth. eggs, lemon
ade, orangeade and other fluid or
semi-fluid substances. Cool water
should be given very freely.
The administration Of oxygen
sometimes makes the breathing
easier, lessons sluggish circulation
in the veins as shown by blueness
Of the lips or finger nails, and
conduces to sleep. In proportion
as II has these effects it aids In
conserving energy.
There is something in the belief
on the part of the public that the
robust man is likely to have a
harder battle with pneumonia than
the frail. II is in these too robust
types that a little blood letting Is
still invoked at times by the mod
ern physician.

CHICAGO GRAINS
AND PROVISIONS

CHICAGO. ILL.,, March u.-Light
trading. quick changes in prices and
general nervousness marked today 3
short session of the Chicago Board OF
Trade.
Most OF the transactions were by To-
cal traders. Wheat finished izc lower to
Ac higher; corn 15c to Nc higher; oats
unchanged TO &c higher, and pro-
visions from 1217 to 1f1zc lower.
Wheat opened weak on depressing
ca bles but took on new life when corn
showed independent strength and later
bulged sharply when local shorts who
had sold freely on the opening decline
were driven to cover. With this move
ment ended there was nothing to inter-
est the market and prices sagged
feebly.
Within the last fifteen minutes wheat
touched the low point Of the day but
scored recovery to full cent before
the close.
Local buying gave early strength to
corn but was not extensive enough to
hold 1t up thruout the session.
Outside trade was light.
Oats were dull. The bulk OF the op-
erations were trades in the May and
July spread. There was some eastern
buying of provisions but on the whole
that portion of the market was dull.

WEEKLY REVIEW

NEW YORK, March 1.-THE ad-
vancins trend of prices on the stock
echange was continued this week with
occasional setbacks, many popular
shares exceeding previous high records
OF the year. Speculative issues over
shadowed investment stocks both in ac-
tivity and extent of gains. Tho move
ment derived much of Its stability from
the progressive demand for dividend
paying rails. The most constructive in
fluence was the higher price schedules
adopted by number OF independent
steel manufacturers, their action be-
speaking confidence in the immediate
future of that industry. Similar ten
dencies were observed In the automo-
bile and copper trades and among food
stuffs and better inquiry for sugar was
accompanied by an upward revision in
the raw and refined products. Traders
ignored the many unfavorable 1921 fl
nancial statements. nearly all of which
revealed drastic reduction of inveu-
torNs. Almost the only favorable ex-
hioit for that period was tho statement
OF the Studebaker company, which re-
ported the best year in its history
Tonnage movements on leading rail-
way systems were generally in excess

two years. Steady accumulation of

INITIATION OF

UGLY DAMAGE
Business Slump is Attribut-
able to Condition-The
Difficult Position of The
Banker.

| (By International News Service)
| London, Jan. 1.-THE evils of in
flation and disorganized exchanges
| have created an almost uniform
monotony of distress. On the one
hand we have countries whose de-
preciated and fluctuated currencies
make foreign trade almost impos-
sible, while on the other hand there
are the relatively stable countries
who are suffering almost equally
| through the shutting down of nor
NAL markets.
That is how Viscount Churchill
| described the financial situation of
Europe at a meeting of the share
holders of the British Overseas
| Bank.
1.-THE result of all this he said,
has been a drop in prices, and
particularly a discrepancy between
the prices of raw material and fin
ished products which has had dis
astrous consequences.
"As always in these times of crisis
bankers have to stand as a buffer
between their clients and the full
force of the depression.
The bank has many connections
with Poland, as had many other
banking concerns in Great Britain
and in his mournful chant on the
distressful conditions in Poland,
Lord Churchill was voicing the COM
plants of bankers on the whole.
Conditions in Poland continue to
be unsatisfactory he continued. "In
spite of the real efforts towards re-
form which have been recently made
continued to shrink further into the
morass produced by heavy expendi-
ture, insufficient revenue and con-
sequently rapidly increasing infla-
ton.
This particular phase has to be
regretted, as within the country it
self substantial progress has been
made during the last twelve months.
Before Poland can be pulled to-
gether the problems Of pruning
down bureaucracy and militarism
and Of increasing the efficiency OF
the tax collecting will have to be
solved. Given a form of government
finance they might rely with conf
dence on the energy of the agri-
cultural and industrial sections of
the country to restore prosperity
to Poland"
