Washington, D, O. With the subsid
tnct of the epidemic of Influenza the
attention of health ofllrer la directed
to pneumonia, bronchitis and other
diseases of the respiratory system
which regularly cause a large number
of deuths, especially during the winter
season. According to Itupert llluo,
Surgeon General of tha United Slates
Public Health Service, these diseases
will be especially prevalent this win
ter unleaa the people are particularly
careful to obey health Instructions.
"The present epidemic," said Sur
geon General Blue, "haa taught by hit
ter experience how readily a condition

Diajr go on to pneumonia and death.
.Although the worst of tha epidemic Is
over, there will continue to be a large
number of scattered eases, many of
them mild and unrecognised, which
will be danger spots to be guarded
against" The Surgeon General likened
tha prevent situation to that after
great Ore, saying, "No fir chief who
understands his buslnesa stop playing
tha bos on the charred debris as soon
aa the flames and visible lira have dis
appeared. On the contrary, ha con
tinue tha water for hours and even
daya, for be knewa that there la dan
ger of tha fire rekindling from smol
dering embers."
"Then yon fear another outbreak of
Influenza?" ha waa asked. "Not neces
sarily another large epidemic." aald
tha Surgeon General, "but unleaa the
people learn to realise tha seriousness
of the danger they will be compelled to
pay a heavy death toll from pneumo

i Common Colda Highly Catching,

people are beginning to learn that or

Ignorant people cough or sneeikj with
out covering their mouth and nose. It
l also good to know that people have
learned something about the value of
fresh air. In summer, when people
are largely out of doors, tha respira
tory diseases (coughs, colds, pneumo
nia, etc.) are Infrequent; la the fall,

respiratory diseases Increase; In. the

Id warm rooms too heavily dresned or,
what la even mora common, eitpeclally
among women, dressing so lightly that
windows ara kept closed In order to be
comfortably warm. This Is a very In
jurious practice.
Could Save 100.000 Lives.
"I believe we could easily save on

"The Bureau of Public Health,

striking poster drawn by Berryman,
the well-known Washington cartoonist
The poster exemplifies the modern
method of health education. A few
years ago, under similar circumstances,
the health authorities would bav la
aued an official dry but scientifically
accurate bulletin teaching the role of
droplet infection In the spread of re
spiratory diseases. Tb only ones wh
would hnve understood the bulletin
would have been those who already

Mme. de Falbe'a pearls were sold

they become more expensive than

Undertaker Invented Phone.
Inventors who have new Ideas which
are foreign to their vocations or lines
of business may derive encourage
ment from the fact that the inventor
ot the first practical system of auto
matic telephony was Almon B, Strow-
ger of Kansas City, who took out a
patent In 1889. The Inventor of the
Strowger system was an undertaker
who was In no way connected with
electrical engineering or with any
telephone enterprise.
The Great Teat.
Self-control Is an easy matter wheu
we are alone,- says New Success Maga
zine. But the moment our Uvea are
thrown In with others, then comes the
struggle. To maintain our equanimity,
to restrain the sharp retort, the Impa
tient exclamation, to get along smooth
ly with disagreeable people, without
friction or jarring this Is the great
life test This Is what builds charac
ter, ' what tests manhood or woman
hood, what makes the Ideal employee.
Two Discoveries, i -A
long time ago, a keen observer of
human nature put on record his dis
covery that a small borrower never
leaves the doorway of a bank without
looking one way and walking the oth
er. A rival of this observer has Just
turned up. B1b conclusion, after years
of patient observation, Is that one nev
er sees a small boy and a brass band
moving In opposite dUrecUona. Chris

Soul That H Truly Great
Emerson, that greatest of modern
philosophers, has told us that It 1
easy when In a crowd to allow our
selves to be swayed by the opinions
about us and comparatively easy to
keep our Individuality and sweetness
when alone, but that the great soul
la he who In the midst ot a mass of
other individuals can atlll keep th
pom and sweetness ot solitude.
