O. (Special.)—Ac- cording to a report made to the United States Public Health Service, the epl- demic of influenza in Spain has al- ready caused an incregse in the preva- Jence and deaths. from puimonary tu- berculosis. A similar association be- tween influenze and tuberculosis was .recently made by Sir Arthur News- holme, the chief medical officer of the English public health' service, in his ‘analysis of the tubercu!osis death rnte in England. v n order that the people of the Unit- ed States may profit by the experience of other countries Surgeon General Rupert Blue of the United States Pub- lic Health Service has just issued a 'warning emphasizing the need of spe- ‘cial precautions at the present time. “Experience seems to Indicate,” says the Surgeon .General, “that persons ‘whose resistance -has.been weakened by an attack of (nfluenza are peculiar- iy susceptible to tuberculosls. With mfluons of its peopleé recently affected with Influenza this country now of- fers conditions favoring the spread of tuberculosis.” One Million Consumptives in the United States. “Then you consider this a serious menace?” was asked. “In my opinion it is, though I hasten to add it is dis- tinctly one against which the people -can guard. So far as one can estimate there are at present about one million cases of tuberculosis in the United !States. There is unfortunately no ‘complete census available to show ex- actly the number. of tuberculous per- sons in each state despite the fact that mogt Of the states lHave made the dis- poftable. In New York city, ‘where reporting has Deen n force for many - years, owér 35,000 cases:- of tu- Jberculosis are registered with the De- ‘partment of Health. Those famliliar with the situation belieye that the ad- dition of unrecognized and, unreported cases would make the nnr&be: nearer ;60,000. The ‘very careful, sur- ,v.ey conducted during the! past two years in li‘ramfnghnm Mass,, revealed 00 cases of tuberculosis In a pepula- «tion of approximately 15000 If these proportions hold true for ‘the Unjted States as a whole they would indicate that about one in every hundred per- sons is tuberculous. Each of these constitutes a source of danger to be guarded agalnst.” What to Do. In his statement to the public Sur- geon General Blue points out how those who have had influenza should ;protect. themselves against tuberculo- ‘'sis. *“All who have recovered from in- fluenza,” says the Surgeon General, “should have their lungs carefully ex- amined by a competent physician., In fact, it is desirable to have several ex- aminations made a month apart. Such examinations ¢annot be made through the clothing nor can they be carrled out {n two or three minutes. If the lungs are found to be free from tuber- culosls every.effort should be made to keep them go. This can be done by right living, good food and plenty of fresh air.” | P DangéF Signs. The Surgeon General warned espe clally against certain danger signs, sach as [‘decline” and “colds which hang on.” These, he explained, were often the beginning of tuberculosis. “If you do not get well promptly, it your cold seems to hang on or your health and strength decline, remember that these are often the early signs of tubereculo- sis. Place yourself at once under the care of a competent physician. Tuber- ;\flosis is curable in the early stages. atent Medicines Dangerous in Tuber. culosis. “Above all do not trust in the mis. leading statements of unscrupulous patent medicine fakers. There is no specific medicine for the cure of tuber- culosis. The money spent on such medicines is thrown away; it should be spent instead for good food and de- cent living.” One ‘Milion Cases Tubercti~y RABI WAS PRISONER IN GERMAN CAMP Mr. and Mrs. William Rabi of town of Frohn are in receipt of the fol- lowing telegram from Wsshingtou, D.

General.” ARMS' WAR WORK (By United Press.) Washington, Dec. 11.—Praise for the war work of the farmer in pro- ducing record-breaking crops to feed the armies in the field and the people at home, is given in the annual report of Secretary of Agriculture Houston, made public today. “On them rested the responsibility for maintaining and increasing food production and for assisting in secur- ing fuller conservation of food and feed stuffs. The part the millions of men, women, boys and girls on the farms played during the war is strik- ing, but altogether too little known and appreciated,” the secretary says. Despite shortage of labor, due in large part to thousands of the youth of the farms serving in the great war, American. farmers broke all records in acreage, he says. In 1917 there were 283,000,000 acres planted as compared with 261,- 000,000 the previous year, and a yearly average of 248,000,000 for the five years prior to 1914, the first year of the war. With a still furthér shortage of labor, 1918 showed an even better re- cord,.with 298,000,000 acres planted in standard crops. Climatic conditions for the two great staple crops—corn and wheat— were bad in many sections of the country during the war period, but, notwithstanding this, the aggregate yield exceeded any previous year in the nation’s history, with the single exception of 1915, the report shows. ‘Wheat production for 1918 totaled 918,920,000 bushels, greatly in excess of each of the two previous years and the second highest record. The estimated total yield of the leading cereals for 1917 was 5,796, 000,000 bushels and for 1918, about 5,638,000,000 bushels. Not only in the raising of wheat and corn, did the farmers of America put other records in the shade. War’s demands greatly increased necessity for meat products, eggs and milk. Here again, the farmer measured up to his responsibilities, Houston says. In 1918, over 8,500,000,000 pounds of beef were produced as compared with 6,079,000,000 in 1914; 10,500,- 000 pounds of pork, with but-8,769,- 000,000, in 1914 and 495,000,600 pounds of mutton, making a total of 19,496,000,000 pounds, while but 15, 687,000,000 were produced in 1914. Production of milk, poultry and eggs showed the same gratifying in- crease {n production, the report shows.

Paris, Nov. 27. (By Mail.)—On the wooded slope of a hill that rises in a bend of the Seine just on the edge of Paris there is a little cemetery that is doing much to weld another link in the chain of 1r1endshlp binding France and America. Among the 700 graves of soldiers in this cemetery are many graves of American boys who have succumbed to their wounds in the hospitals in the suburbs of the city. Almost every one of the American’ graves has been ‘adopted”’ by some French family, which takes care of the grave as though one of their own dead lay there. Many families have adopted from three to five of the little mounds, and oné prominent French professional man of Paris has “adopted”’ fifteen and insists upon tending them with his own hands. The duties of the ‘“‘foster-parents,, in- cludes besides the care of the grave, an effort to get in touch with the rel- atives of the dead hero in America to tell them about the resting place of their fallen soldier. Every one of the adopted graves is tended scrupulously. Fresh flowers are placed frequently and the Ameri- can flag at the head of the grave is renewed when it is faded. On Sun- days it is not unusual to see a dozen French women in deep mourning, sometimes accompanied by a troop of sober-faced children, reverently car- ing for the grave of an American who has fallen on the soil of France. When a military funeral draws up to the gate of the cemetery and ten- derly deposits another. flag-draped coffin, the children gravely salute and follow the little procession to the new grave, and stand quietly while the chaplain reads the: simple cere- mony and the bugler sounds the final requiem.
