four American newspaper correspond j

The nhjeel of theno lies whs to Jus

they were overrunning. According lo

"I have already framed a message

the kaiser went on. "We have ample

Strangely enough,, tho lcalser sent,

Belgians were simply Kngland's tools!'
Some of tin arguments the kaiser
raised hi his discussions with me re
garding the war were u weak nnd
untenable that one might well doubt
his sincerity In urging them, hut 1

"They refer to us an the Units 1" the

Washington, D. C. (Special.) Ae
cording to u report made lo the United
States Public IRilf.i Service, the op'
demlc of lnlluei...a in .'.;.:i!u has al-
reatly ''ii'sed n i I"' it !n the pr.-i-
ieni'e v ti rleo'is I'-nin ;. I'mn-1- t..
borctilosls. A similar association !"
tween Intltienz.i :.:..' niherculosls was
recently made hy Sir Arthur News
holme, the chief medical olllcer of the
English public health service, In his
analysis of the tuberculosis death rate
In Knglaud.
In order that the people of the Unit
ed Stales may profit hy the experience
of other countries Surgeon (Jeneral
Unpen Blue of the United Slates Pub
lic Health Service has Just Issued a
warning emphasizing the need of spe
cial precautious at the present time.
"Experience seems to Indicate." says
the Surgeon (leiieral, "that persons
whose resistance lias been weakened
by mi attack of Intluenzn ure peculiar
ly susceptible to niherculosls. With
millions of lis people recently affected
with lnHiien.u this country now of
fers conditions favoring the spread of
tuberculosis."
One Million Consumptives in the
United States.
"Then you consider this it serious
menace':" was asked. "In my opinion
it Is, though 1 hasten to udd it is dis
tinctly om against which the people
can guard. So far its one can estimate,
there are nt present about one million
cases of tuberculosis in the United
Slates. There Is unfortunately no
complete census available to show ex
actly the number of tuberculous per
sons lit each state despite the fact that
most of the states have made the dis
ease reportable. In New York city,
where reportlng-hns lieen In force for
many years, over H.'.OOO enses of tu
berculosis are registered with the De
partment of Health. Those famlllnr
with the situation believe that the ad
dition of unrecognized and unreported
cases would make the number nearer
50,000. The very careful health sur
vey conducted during tho past two
yenrs In Frnnilngham, Mass., revealed
200 cases of tuberculosis In a popula
tion of approximately 15,000. If these
proportions hold true for the United
Stntes as a whole they would Indicate
that about one In every hundred per
sons Is tuberculous. Each of these
constitutes n source of danger to be
guarded against."
What to Do.
In his statement to the public Sur
geon General Hlue points out how
those who ImVqftAff mtltioiiKii should
protect themselves, against tuberculo
sis. "All who have recovered from In
llueii7.it," fin j s the Surgeon Ceneral,
"should have their lungs carefully ex
amined by a competent physician. In
fuel, it Is deslrahlo to have several ex
aminations made a month upnrt. Such
oMiudnntious caimol be ininle through
the clothing nor can I hey he carried
out In two or three minutes. .If the
lung's are found to lie tree from tuber
culosis every elmri .should be luade to
keep them so. This enn he done by
right living, good rood and pleiity of
fiv-h air."
Dan:i Signs.
The Surgeon i.'eiieral warned espe
cially against certain dapger signs,
such us "decline" and "colds which
hung on."
These,' he explained, were often the
beginning of tuberculosis. "If you do
not get well promptly, If jour cold
seems to hang on or,yotir health and
strength decline, leinemher that these
are often the curl, signs of t'lhevctdo
sis, Place yonrsel'' at one under tho
care of n competent physician. 'Tuber
culosis Is curable In the early stages.
Patent Medlclnep Dangerous in Tuber
. cuosis.
"Above all do not trust In the nils
lending statements of unscrupulous
patent medicine fakers. There Is no
specltic medicine for the cure of tuber
culosis. Tim money spent on ..such
medicines In thrown nway; It Klnnild
be spent liisjeud for gond food und de
cent living." " !

Washington, D. C With the subsid
ence of the epidemic of Itilluenza the
attention of health otlicet's is directed
to pneumonia, bronchitis and other
diseases of the respiratory system
which regularly cause a large number
of deaths, especially during the winter
season. According (o Hupert IUito,
Surgeon General of the United States
Public Health Service, tliee diseases
will be especially prevalent this win
ter unless the people are parllcuhuly
Ktreful to obey health Instructions.
"The present epidemic," said Sur
geon General Hltte, "has taught by bit
ter experience how readdy it condition
beginning apparently as a slight cold
may go on to pneumonia and death.
Although the worst of the (:idcmlc Is
over, there will continue to iie u large
number of scattered cases, ninny of
them mild and unrecognized, which
will be danger spots to lie guarded
against." The Surgeon General likened
the present situation to that after u
great lire, saying, "No lire chief who
understands his business stops plnjlng
the hose on the charred debris as soon
as the llanies and lsible lire have dis
appeared. On the contrary, he con
tinues the water for hours ami cvetr
daj-s, for he knows that there Is dan
ger of the lire rekindling from smol
dering embers."
"Thn you fear another outbreak of
t 'ueiiuV" h" was nskeii. "Vot neccs
s.uily another laro epidemic," said
the Surgeon General, "but unices tl"
people learn to realize the seriousness
of the danger they will be compelled th
pay a henvy death toll from pneumo
nia and other respiratory diseases.
Common Colds Highly Catching.
"It Is encouraging to observe that
people tire beginning to le:n that or
dinary coughs und colds are highly
catching uml are sprend from person
to person by means of droplets of
germ laden iiiucus. Such droplets are
sprayed Into the air when careless or
Ignorant 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 of
fresh ltlr. In summer, when people
ure largely out of doors, the respira
tory diseases (coughs, colds, pneumo
nia, etc.) are Infrequent ; In 'the fall,
as people begin to remain Indoors, the
resj lira lory diseases increase; in tin
winter, when people are promi'lo stny
In badly ventilated, overheated rooms,
the respiratory diseases become Very
pi'evalent. ' '
Suitable Clothing Important
"Still another factor In the produc
tion of colds, pneumonia ami-other re
.splratory diseases s carelessness or Ig
norance of the people regarding suit
able clothing during the seasons when
the weather suddenly changes, sitting
In warm looms too heavily dressed or,
what Is even more common, especially
among women, dressing so lightly that
windows lire kept dosed In order to h
comfortably warm. This Is u very in
jurious practice.
Could Save 100,900 Lives.
"I believe we could easily save one
hundred thousand lives amitially in
the United Stales If all the people
would adopt the system of fresh nlr
living followed, for example, In tuber
culosis sanatoria. There Is nothing
mysterious about it no specltic medi
cine, no vaccine. The Important thing
Is right living, good food und plenty of
fresh air.
