 Prompt medical treatment and good nursing care add to the pa tients chances of recovery from pneumonia. If pneumonia synp- toms arc present Sec that the pa- tient gets both.
 If pneumonia is present. q labora- tory test of the sputum will deter mine the type. Your health depart ment. with which the Metropolitan is cooperating, is prepared to make this test in most cases. A serum for the most frequently encountered types of pneumonia has been devcl- opedf. Tn all cases 1t has a greater chance of being effective. if admin istcred early in the disease. The doctor. with the help of the labora- tory. must decide whether serum should be used. as this treatment is not appropriate for all cases Of pneumonia.
 The convalc8ccnt patient should remain in bed as long AS the doctor orders. RestlessneBs and anxiety add to the danger of q relapse.
 Communicable
 Pneumonia k q communicated is- ease. If the patient is treated at home. only tho3e caring for him should enter tho sick room. This will help to prevent the spread of the disease. Noge and throat dis charges of the patient should be caught in pieces of cloth or soft paper and burned. The patients eating utensils and linen should be washed separately with soap and hot water.

New York, N, Y.--Wintcr weather of the tropic variety or gub-arctic type should, not be held responsible for the outbreak Of influenza and pneumonia that s now prevailing, according to Dr. Donald B. Arm strong, third vice president of tho Metropolitan Life Insurance com- pany.
 "T'hc very low temperatures of a year ago were held by certain health experts to be responsible for the in- creased mortality from influenza and pneumonia experienced last year in certain communities" Dr. Armstrong points out. "Other health experts are claiming that the ti1seasonably warm weather of the present winter is responsible for the increase in influenza and pneu- monia at this time. Both cannot be right---so 1t Is common sense to say that, while we don't know about 1t, the weather probably has little to do with the increased incidence of these diseases.
 Various Fact0rs
 Dr. Armstrong says that while the factors causing epiecmics of these discases seem to work without much regard to weather conditions there are precautions everyone can take in combating both influenza and pneu- monia. He advises:
 Budget adequately your time for sleep and relaxation and you will find that an investment in these will pay real dividends fin resistance to both influenza and pneumonia.
 Avoid excess in eating and drink ing. Keep your body in the best physical condition.
 At the first sign of q cold. start treatment. Few colds would develop into serious illness if proper pre- cautions were taken the first day or two. Rest in bed. If possible. or at least indoors. Take laxative. Drink plenty of water or fruit juices and cat lightly of simple. wholesome food. Hot drinks. such as hot lemon- adc. may help.
 Gail . Doctor
 If you think you have fever, call q doctor. It is often dangerous to say Its only a cold" Cold tab- lets or other medicines should not Dc taken except when ordered by c doctor.
 Do not use nasal douche. unless advised to do 70 by 6 doctor. Do not blow your nose too hard. ag this may cause the infection to spread to other parts of the head or to the tubes leading to the ears.
 When fever and an ache in the back of legs accompany the symp- toms of cold. you arc probably contracting grippe or influenza. See doctor at once. He will order you to bed and prescribe for you. Influenza is dangerous because pneumonia or other troubles may eflsue.
 Pneumonia, which is inflammation of the lungs. s . serious disease and is one of the most common causes Of death. It may Do caused by any one of C number of germs and, strictly speaking. might Do consid- cred ag . group of diseases rather than one disease. Over-exertion, lack of sleep and proper exercise, exposure to rapid chilling and wet ness. and 0vcrindulgence in alcohol will render . person susceptible to this disease.
 Symptoms
 Pneumonia iS usually preceded by q cold. but it also may be cons tractcd suddenly by m apparently well person. Chill. fever. cough. pain in the chest. and blood -tinged sputum are It's most common symp-
