PNEUMONIA WARNINGS l The prevention of pneumonia is one I of the subjects upon which Director i Hartc, of the department of public i health and charities, never tires of < ■peaking. And truly the vital s tat is- I ties of the city bear out his belief that the subject is one that cannot too often be discussed. For this reason we take the pains , to repeat the 'salient features of the , latest health bulletin. It contains timely advice that is as simple as it is important. And there is no doubt that if the public will take this warning as seriously to heart as it would take the advice of its own family physicians, there will be fewer deaths from pneumonia in Philadelphia The first thing to remember is that j pneumonia is not caused by cold weather, but in spite of it That it is ' • the most prevalent and the most ' fatal of winter diseaaes is due to the fact that the resisting power of 1 many people is' reduced during the winter. I Pneumonia is transmitted by a I germ. Has germ is powerless to af-

fect normal healthy people. But when it attacks a person whose vitality is normal — whether from Impru- j_ dent living, from overwork, lose of sleep, worry, lack of exercise or lack ' of fresh air — it is capable of incalculable Bodily fitness is the surest safe- j guard against pneumonia, and to at- j tain bodily fitness one must have prop- 1 1 er nourishment, exercise and fresh air, : 1 and must avoid excesses of all kinds. 1 Dr. Harte points out that many peo1 pie make themselves subject to the at- ' tack of pneumonia by their very ef- ' forts in trying to prevent it. People who coddle themselves indoors, j keeping warm at the expense of fresh air, gradually reduce their resisting ; power. Statistics show that this error ! ' is a very common one, as .pvery cold spell is fqjlo-.ved by a rapid increase of 1 pneumonia cases. — Philadelphia Press. STOVES, HEATERS AND RANGES.
