As a cause death It exceeds tuberculosis, the 'United States about ten teat of deaths from all causes - are due to pneumonia. Pneumonia was known In very early times and as early as the fifteenth cen tury" it was recognised to be com municable. In spite of this obser vation there were many who de fied that pneumonia might be transmitted from one person" to another and it is only within comparatively recent times thai this fact has received general ac ceptance. "Pneumonia is always with us and; many people are carriers of the Infection, It sbould be -em phasised that pneumonia la communicable disease . and neces sitates the same card ot the spur: turn, of coughing and sneezing, of handkerchiefs, and in the use of eating utensils as does tubercu losis. The germs" that ease pneu monlo ; are '.spread by careless coughers, sneeiers and spitters. "Colds and Influenza predis pose to the development of pneu monia. If you hare a severe chill and fever, a very sick feeling, loss of appetite, rapid breathing, and a heavy sensation in the chest, go to bed and send for your, doctor. Pneumonia is always a . serious disease and demands the best ot care. "There is no acute illness that nniM mnrn concern to the doc tor, the patient or the health offi cer than pneumonia. It should become a matter of common knowledge that anything which tends to reduce vitality predis poses to pneumonia, such as dis sipation, loss of sleep, oterwork, worry, poor or insufficient food, lack of exercise, alcohol, colds or excesses of any kind, the devital izing effect of excessively dried and warm air, and sleeping In warm rooms. - "Avoid pneumonia by taking the following precautions. Keep yourself in good condition by eat ing a proper' amount ot good nourishing food. Avoid over-eat ing, candy ttV fugar sprees er the eating of any food that is likely to causa Indigestion. Walk or ex ercise In soma other outdoor sport for at least two hours dally. Sleep eight hours or now In a el ventilated room with the win dows sufficiently opened to af ford an abundance of fresh air. ''"Train your akin toy atand changes In temperature by a daily morning bath. Start with a moderately warm bath, and grad ually lower the temperature. The cold water will harden your skin and make you less stfscePtible to changes in temperature. If you do sot react with a healthy .glow within a few minutes cold baths r not advisable. "Avoid colds and Infections by weirlnr sensible clothing. A good rule is to wear just enough rtothes to be comfortable. Avoid oTar-neated houses, offices and shops. Live and work In weft ventilated rooms. A room temper- atnre of 69 degrees Is better than one over J 6 degrees. Over-heated rooms cause more colds than un der-heated rooms, window venti lation Bhould be provided so that there will be no direct drafts. ' "More attention should be giv en to the common cold.
