Your Health
and Diet
By Logan CIendening, M. D.

Pneumonia still is one of the
mighty factors in human life.
One of the Captains of the Men
of Death. Pilgrims Progress"
called tuberculosis The Captain
of the Men of Death, and i'll
that day it was true-it was
the most frequent cause CT
death. Now it has been un-
seated from it's high command.
There are several diseases, al
most equally responsible Tor
the majority of mortalities. CT
these pneumonia is the chief.
It is in many ways a mystic
rious disease. The cause of it
the actual germ-We have
known for many years. Yet
how it gets into the body ard
into the particular part Of the
body affected-the lungs-or
in other words, the actual
mechanism of attack, We know
virtually nothing.
Not Contagious
A facile answer is that it Is
breathed into the lungs. This
seems natural, but it does not
explain why one whole lone Of
the lung is affected while all
the remainder of the lung is
clear. Or why all the re-
mainder of the lobes Of the
lungs do not successfully be-
come involved with so patent
a contagion constantly present
in one of them.
1t is not contagious from ont
individual to another. Nurses,
doctors and members of tie
family can be around preu-
monia patients day and niC3t
and remain unaffected. Yet
at certain seasons of the year
it will bring down large num-
bers of the populace one after
another. It would seem AS if
some change in the body's con-
dition-chemical or physiologi-
cal-were the only important
predisposing cause of pneu-
mOnia.
Factors in Disease
What that predisposing
change in the body is we know
as little as did Hippocrates
2.4O0 years ago. Wet. cold and
exposure certainly are factors.
Alcoholic sprees and lack of
plenty of nourishing food like
wise. Aside from these, there
is mere speculation.
There are several forms OF
pneumonia, two main ones
lobar pneumonia. in which one
entire lobe Of a lung is affected
Cor possibly two entire lobeS);
and broncho-pneumonia. which
affects the terminals Of many
small air-tubes all over both
lungs. Broncho-pneumonia was
the sort we encountered in the
great influenza epidemic and
is the kind which supervenes
on measles in children. 1t S
by far the most fatal and dan
gerous of the two.

There are lots of exciting tea
dances, informal supper parties
and the like being planned these
days-now that the holiday sea-
son is so close at hand. Affairs
that require a S o'clock or Sun
night type of dresS-something
more formal than an afternoon
frock, and less formal than a
real dinner or evening gown.
And young girls are starting to
busy MISUNDERSTANDING out,
what's new and fashionable in
dresses on this order. In fact
many of them have been asking
us about the situation.
The New Three-Quarter
Well, we've investigated and
found out many exciting things.
First of all, lots of these dresses
are made in styles and colorS
that can still be worn over the
Easter holidays. And they're
made with long, sweeping lines
rather full in the skirts
though they hang quite straight
And they reach all the. way
down to the ankle!
There's sleeves, of course, in
all of them-varying from wrist
length to brief little caps Cor
perhaps cape collar instead
of any sleeves). But the very
newest and latest type, is the
three-quarter sleeve.
Tie at the End

them on the first dress sketch

The neckline is softly draped,
as so many of them are In
dresses of this kind. 1t must
be because that does so much
to make dresses more becom-
ing. Isn't the belt original,
the way it's made with inverted
tucks and gradually tapering
into a long, narrow bar-shaped
buckle in front. Those grooved
balls on the buckle, incident
ally, exactly match the dress.
And what do you suppose hap
pens to the belt in back? 1t
widens out into a sash that
ties in a bow!
And what lovely new colors
this dress comes in! Halloween
"a new flaming orange), a bril-
liant green and also d new
shade like Persian, but brighter,
and rich sapphire blue, too.
