PNEUMONIA

While pneumonia is probably the
most dangerous OF all acute cortagi-
Gus diseases In this country, It Is rare
among the underfed races, such as
the Chinese. II you are either nor
NAL in weight, or slightly below nor
nal, there is very little chance OF
your dying from pneumonia, as 30
per cent Of the people dying from
this disease are overweight and, at
the same time, enervated.
Most deaths occur among the over
fed who have been e~nervating them
selves with worry or mental overwork
while failing to take the proper
amount of exercise. Usually, when
those underweight contract pneumon-
Ia they recover readily, as the body
does not have to burn up the excess
sive fatty tissue.
Pneumonia occurs most frequently
In the winter months Of January,
February and March, and Is. hardest
on the very old or the very young. OF
the middle aged persons, about twice
aS many men as women have this dis
ease. Many people have learned to
fear the so-called "pneu1nonia wealth
er" or weather which turns cold and
thaws quickly. The best way to avoid
pneumonia Is to bring your weight
down to normal, exercise daily, and
avoid the enervati0n produced by
oyerwork, late hours and indiscrim-
mate eating.
That which Is known as secondary
bronchial pneumonia follows an in
flammation Of the bronchial tubes.
The onset is slow. There is a cough,
rapid breath. hot skin and fever.
Bronchitis precedes this type of
pneumonia, but rarely comes before
lobar pneumonia.
In lobar pneumonia the onset is
very sudden, coming first with a chill
which may last half an hour, follow
ed by a high fever, rapid breathing,
headache, pain over the side of the
chest, and a distressing, painful
cough. At first the cough is dry, but
later pus-like material is raised.
Three-fourths Of the cases have q
Characteristic pain which becomes
worse as patient tries to take q deep
breath.
II you develop pneumonia, be sure
to call in a doctor who uses the new
treatment Of diathermy. This is an
electric treatment which can be given
In the home through the use of port
able high frequency apparatus. Pads
are placed on the front and back of
the congested area and the diathermy
sends a penetrating heat to the inside
OF the lungs, the tissues being heated
several degrees higher than normal.
Only q very little warmth may be
felt on the skin, as the heat is formed
IN the tissues. This internal heating
treatment is effective In causing the
throwing off Of the pus and increas-
ing the supply Of blood to the tissues.
During the first few days no food of
any kind should be used, although
plenty Of water Is essential.
IT only q slight fever persists after
five days Of the fasting regimen, it
is . good plan to start the patient

Today Is the
Anniversary of
THE BALTIMORE FIRE

THE BALTIMORE FIRE
On Feb. Z, 1904, q fire wiped out the
business center of Baltimore, Md,
causing . loss estimated at $685.
100000.
The fire burned 80 hours and
spread over territory bounded by
Fayette, Charles, Baltimore, Liberty
and Lombard streets, the water front
and Jones Falls.
Within three years the burned area
was completely rehabilitated. The
fire has since been considered a
blessing in disguise because Of the
spirit Of progress which it awakened.
The diversification OF manufac-
lures, the growth Of commerce, ex-
tension Of trade, increase of popula-
ton, the influx of foreign elements,
the rise of economic standards, the
development of civic consciousness
have been essential elements In the
recent history of Baltimore.

A Job-Saving Measure
minneapolis Tribune)

The bill introduced by Representative Thurston of
Iowa which would increase the membership OF the lower
house of congress by 40 members is purely and simply
a job-saving measure.
By its passage certain states which are destined to
forfeit one or more representatives under the present
plan OF reapportlonment would be spared that loss.
Minnesota, for example, would retain its ten repre-
~sentatives instead of going on q nine-meMber basis,
and Iowa, which is destined to lose two representatives
The bill, instead of taking away representation from
the losing states, would merely create additional repre-
sentation for those entitled, by population growth, to
It is hardly surprising that an Iowan should intro
duce this bill in congress, or that Minnesota's repre-
s~entatives should be reported lining up behind it. The
representatives of all those states adversely affected
by reapportionment, and for the simple reason that
no representative cares to contemplate the possibility
of his job being reapportioned out of existence. Hon
esty should compel supporters of the bill to admit, how
ever. that it is designed primarily for their own pro-
lection, and not to confer any great benefit upon .
legislative body already far too cumbersome and UNI
wieldy for its own good, or for the good Of the nation
as a whole.
The house at present numbers 4s5 members, and un.
less efficiency is in some mysterious way related to
sheer bulk, it is difficult to see what would be gained
by the addition OF 40 more representatives. It is OBJ
vious that we cannot e on expanding the house Ct
least to the unbiased observer, that the size Of the
house rs It is at present constituted, is already too
great Tor maximum efficiency. The Tribune sympa-
thizes with those representatives whose jobs are i'm

Cabbages and Kings

IN CAROLS inimitable story, alice in Wonderland,
the walrus ponderously turns to the carpenter and opines:
The time has come to talk Of many things and then
there is a quaint reference to ~cabbages and kings.
OF course, in Wonderland, cabbages and kings were
not to be mentioned in the same breath, and the walrus
committed a grave social error IN connecting them sc
rudely, SO ruthlessly as it were.
The Capital Removal fight has reached the walrus
stage. 1t is time to talk OF many things and most OF
them have no more relation to the case in point than
have cabbages or kings. But the arguments advanced by
jamestown are so spcciouS, so mendaclous and so silly
that if not answered they might be believed and truth
might be confused, just as were the cabbages with the
kings.
Some jamestown enthusiasts have pictured for their
citizens a wonderland" On paper. at least. the new
capitol has been located on the banks of the James
river. Hopes of new wealth. trade and prestige have been
whipped to = white heat of ambition and enterprise.
Many in jamestown who see the futuity of the fight
which has been brought in the name Of their city. must
shake their heads In silence. To raise a voice Of pro-
test in the super-heated atmosphere which has inflated
this bubble is to be denounced as traitors and classed
with cabbages rather than kings and loyal sons of
stutsnan.
Upon what is jamestown basing its chief argument?

In Fairness to All


Statements denying any intention or disposition to
trade on the capitol bill made by members Of the Suits
man county delegation in the House are published In
full in another column Of this newspaper.
Rumors have been current for several days regarding
trades, deals and combines and The Tribune, in report
ing the legislature, published these reports as a matter
of news. It was the publication Of this legislative It'd
bit which aroused the ire Of the Stutsnan county dele
cation and brought from them a prompt denial.
The Tribune is as anxious to get their position before
the people as it was to print the rumor that was afoat
and which an alert news reporter decided was news and
came well within the constitutional rights and privileges
Of q free and unmuzzled press.
These flare-ups are incidents Of legislative action. News
paper statements are frequently challenged, and out Of
the agitation comes the final truth.
The members Of the Jamestown delegation declare they
we're In no deal or combine. League members declare
that the Stutsman county delegation made no advances
to them for trades and deals. Representative Cox asserts
there was no dealing or trading insofar as he knows on
the part Of the Stutsnan county delegation.
That settles 1t. The Tribune is more than glad to
give the denias Of the Stutsman county representatives
even more prominence than the reporting of the ru-
mors, challenged yesterday on the floor Of the House.
For days the press Of the state has carried news of
runors Of trades and bargains and II none is made, dis
cussed or suggested at this session, then q legislative
millennium is at hand and there Is really a Santa Claus.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Gall Bladder Trouble

Question: c.. D. asks: What is
the cause of gall bladder trouble, and
what foods should avoid?"
Answer: There are many forms Of
gall bladder trouble, but outside of
those caused by injuries the causes
Of all gall bladder troubles come from
the intestines. Sluggishness Of bowel
elimination is undoubtedly the under
lying cause of all such troubles. A
fasting diet should be used at first,
and then for a long time all foods of a
high caloric value should be avoided
and the patient use plenty Of bulky
green vegetables to insure good bowel
elimination.
Grapefruit and Milk
Question: Mrs. w. G. B. asks: "Is
a grapefruit and a. pint of milk good
Tor q steady breakfast diet?"
Answer: Grapefruit combines we'll
with milk. This combination may be
used in place of any other meal in
the day.
Talking in Sleep A
Question o. S. writes: II have a
habit of talking in my sleep. They
say I talk quite clearly and sensibly.
! do not cat before going to bed and
it does not take long to get to sleep,
Perhaps 1t Is because I like to walk
alone and think, while I hold imagin-
airy conversations with myself. Is
there anything I can do to overcome
this sleep-talking?"
Answer: Such troubles are usually
caused by the use of wrong food COM
binations at the evening meal. With
most people, the food they have eaten
for dinner does not completely leave
the stomach until two or three O'CLOCK.
in the morning. Try living on such
combinations as I recommend in my
weekly menus. If this does not bring
about q complete cure I would then
also advise you to sec a psychologist
who may be able to help you.
