According to Rupert Blue, Burgeon General o f the United States Public Health Service, those diseases will ho especially prevalent this win­ ter unless the people are particularly careful to obey health instructions. “The present epidemic,” said Bur­ geon General Blue, “baa taught by bit­ ter experience how readily a condition beginning apparently as a slight cold may go on to pneumonia and death. Although the worst o f the epidemic la over, there will continue to be a large number o f scattered cases, many o f them mild and unrecognised, .which will be danger spots to be guarded against.’! The Surgeon Generailikened 'the present Situation to that" after a great Are, saying, “No Are chief who understands Ms business stops.playing 'the hose on the charred debris as soon as the Aames and Ytolble Are have dis­ appeared. On' the contrary, he con­ tinues the water for hours and even days, for he knows that there is dan­ ge r o f the Are rekindling from- smol- [derlng embers,” , "Then ybu feftr another outbreak o f influenza?? he was asked, “Not neces­ sarily another large epidemic,” said jthe Surgeon General,0"but unless the people learn to realize the seriousness jof the danger they will be compelled to ipay a heavy death toll from pneumo­ n ia ana other respiratory diseases, i Common Colds Highly Catching. ' “It Is encouraging to observe that [people are beginning to. learn that or­ dinary coughs and colds are highly [catching and are spread from person [to person by means o f droplets of fgerm laden mucus. Such droplets are ^pr^yed into the air when careless or llgnorant people cough or sneeze with­ out covering their mouth and nose. It [is also good to know that people have .learned something about' the value o t ,fresh air. In summer, whan people .;are largely ,out o f doors, the respira­ tory diseases (coughs, colds, pneumo­ nia, etc.) are infrequent; In the fail, as people begin to remain indoors, the [respiratory diseases increase; In the winter, whenpeople are prone, to stay' ' in badly ventilated, overheated rooms, >the respiratory diseases become very-, prevalent ‘ Suitable Clothing important “ StUl-another factor in the. produc­ tion o f cords, pneumonia and other re­ spiratory diseases Is carelessness or Ig­ norance o f the people regarding suit­ able clothing during the seasons when the weather suddenly changes, sitting in Wam rootas too heavily dressed or, what is even more common* especially among women, dressing so tightly that Windows are kept closed in order, to be comfortably warm. This is a very ln- ' Jurlous practice. . Could Save 100,000 Lives. , “ I believe we could easily save one hundred thousand lives annually In the United States i f all the people would adopt the system o f fresh air living followed, for example, In tuber­ culosis sanatoria. There is ndthiug mysterious about IE—no speclAc medl- . cine, no vaccine, The important thing Js right living, good food and plenty o f fresh air.

The customary sale o f Bed Grose Christmas seats wilt not be held this year. " It seemed best to both the .American Bed Cross -and the Rational Tuberculosis Association to unite in the Bed Cross Christmas Bolt Call to reduce the number o f appe&Js' to the public for contributions,' There will be no. lessening o f activities by the Rational ' Tuberculosis Association through this arrangement, as the Red Cross War Council has appropriated $2,500,000 for anti-tuberculosis work in 1910 in tieor o f the money that ordi­ narily would bo raised by a^Christmas Seal Campaign. However, eveiy. per­ son Joining the Bed Cross during the Bed Cross Christmas Roll Call will be awarded ten seals to be used as here­ tofore. THE RED CROSS GORDON. An American Red Cross worker who was among those volunteering to help In the* hospitals and at the station where the hospital trains arrived, over­ heard some o f tbS wounded talking about the American Bed Cross. "Gee I We’d a starved If It hadn’t been fo r the Bed Cross 1” said one boy, and then, laughing at his own exagger­ ation, be went on to explain the cir­ cumstances under Which the Bed Cross ’representative with his division had -done some timely.service. The Ger- [mans, o f course, were to blame, for jthdy-retreated so rapidly that it was '.practically Impossible for the supplies to keep up with the pursuing Amerl- wNditfNmii JOBE’S [cans. I «w e cleaned up seven kilometers in [less than two hours,” another reclining [figure explained, "and they were still -going when I was knocked o u t For •three days X bad had nothing to eat but hard tack, and fo r some days be- j to n the fobd had been monotonous— ~ to put it mildly. So you can Imagine 'what it meant to us boys to havs tbs ’•Bed Cross Gordon come up with a sup- ’ply o f chocolate, canned, peaches and other good things.
