purely for the cure of infec-
ton.
ut is a well-demonstrated
fact that, in many hospitals, a
high percentage of personnel
such as doctors, nurses and
attendants may be carriers Of
micrococci "a type Of BACTERIAL
which are resistant to anti
biotic or sulfonamide therapy,"
the committee reported in the
Journal of the American Med
zeal Association.
Risks Greater Ill
"A patient i'll with primary
influenza who is introduced
into such an environment
would certainly be in jeopardy
of contracting q micrococcio
pneumonia which could not be
cured by antihiotic sultonamide
therapy."
An accompanying editorial
states that "A real danger
exists in the use Of antibiotics
in virus diseases whether pa
tients take antibiotic contain
ing remedies sold over the
counter or whether physicians
prescribe them before the
proper diagnosis is made"
Known antibiotics have little
or no effect on viral infections.
with very few exceptions.
Too often, physicians are
now saying, antibiotics have
been given unnecessarily-as
insurance against the begin
ming Of infection. In this way
resistant strains Of bacteria
were built up.
Only Effects
And, IF the antibiotic in q
given case encounters q resist
ant organism, its side effects
become in fact its only effects.
:"
There is hardly a clinic or
hospital today that is not
inhabited by therapy-resistant,
pathogenic organisms. A super
infection by such nosocomial
organisms therefore is actually
favored whenever an antibiotic
Is used where it is not called
for"
This does not mean that
antibiotics will not save many
lives If a fiu epidemic strikes
this country this fall or winter.
They will.
When bacterial complications
follow in the wake Of many
influenza cases. antibiotics will
be used to wipe them out. For
example. pneumonia killed
countless numbers in the wake
Of the flu in 1918. There were
no antibiotics then.
The special committee on in
nuenza says that. There has
been a close and disturbing par
allel between the outbreaks Of
influenza which have been OBJ
served in Asia during the past
spring and which spread to the
Western world and the vernal
appearance Of what was called
Spanish influenza in 1919"
Three Suggestions

suggestions for physicians with
regards to the prevention and
treatment Of secondary bacter-
ial infection in patients suffer-

tactoritly pursue their course of
instruction at high school, and
urged all boys to finish high

every student who wished to go
to college was entitled to certain
deferments, provided he made the
required scholastic standing.
He stressed the requirements
of every young man registering
when he reaches age eighteen
and rought out the fact that if
he failed to do It's he was subject
to immediate induction, or else
to fine or Imprisonment, or both.
Colonel Patton explained the
reserve program where a young
man may go into the Reserve or
National Guard before he is
eighteen and one-half years of
age and fulfill his service obi
cation in this way.
In conclusion he stressed the
Importance of making decision
on whether he wants to take adj
vantage of the Reserve or Nation
al Guard before he is eighteen
and one-half years of age.
Colonel Patton paid especial
tribute to the local board COM
posed of puublic-spirited citizens
serving with compensation, name
ly, Messrs. c. N. Yelverton, Will
liam U. Sigler, and James Finch,
and to the Clerk, Mrs. Elsie F.

rlotic service in our national de-
Tense program. He stated that
this board wished to assist every
registrant in every way they can
and advised all registrants to
keep in close touch with this
board at all times, keeping their
own status current. He told them
the local board members or clerk
