12, 1925 / Cold Snap Causes ' Jump in Ffiewiioiiia 0 Springfield--Pointing: out thatpneuf ^moma prevalence in October was 66 'per cent greater than in September refering to the malady as a city •and house disease, Dr. Isaac D, Rawflings, .state health director, predicts ^f^that the weekly incidence will continue to rise from 200 per *cent until it reaches 400 or 600 in February and March. With an affinity for cold weather, mortality from pneumonia fluctuates with the thermometer, - (showing a predilection for indoor - ' dwellers and infants. "Simultaneous with the arrival "of • _ Jfrosty atmosphere in the fall", said .. |Dr. Eawlings, "the windows go down, *the furnace fires begin to roar, the . .^Jindoor relative humidity in the air wdrops from 50 to 60 per cent to 15 or J20, the mucous membrances of the *u>se throat rebel at the sudden change r , and a general cm of colds, and sim- | ilar infections, rflpolt. As low teoiperatures drop lower and the furnace fines wax hM£fcr,'the colds transform into pneumonia and in one out of each 4 cases tie - curtain drops on the whole scene. "Pneumonia is caused by gems and 'ft is contagous, but it flourishes most I fiuring the colder seasons because the habits of man favor it then. Any one , ot mote of the several types of germs I' that produce pneumonia may be normally present in the throats of healthy j peop'e without doing harm until too i much hot, dry .air- or too much smoke and dust irritates the' npper respiratory passages and make these suitable for growth of the germs. The resulting inflammation due to germ activity may extend down to the bronchi or lung tissue with frequently disastrous results. "Pneumonia is one of the most prevalent and, fatal of all diseases.

Broncho, pneumonia attacks infants with far greater frequency than any other age group whiie HoUur shows no particular preference. "In October 686 cases of pneumonia were reported against 413 in September and 380 in August. This figure will probably rise steadily until it reaches about 2000 each for the months of January, February and March, unless unusual conditions bring a greater prevalence. "Here is a list of 'donts' that if conscientiously practiced would provent a lot of pneumonia: "Don't get your feet wet "Don't shut sunshine and fresh air out of your homes. "Don't frequent crowded places or associate with sneerers and coughers. "Don't permit your physical strength to be overtaxed. "Don't lose sleep; get 8 or 9 hoars nightly. "Don't fail to sleep with' an abundant supply of fresh air in your bedroom., "Don't avoid open air exercises such as walking to work.

They say the man gave the name of H. O. Herk and his address as 27 north Wabash avenue.

Dp you know what you should know about your heating system? A. C. Willard, professor of heating and ventilating of the University of Illinois, points out the following facts: cost of operating any heating plant will depend upon the care and completeness with which it has been, installed, and the character of frequency of attention which the operator is able or willing to give it. The chimney should be absolutely tight and should have a continous fira clay flue lining from top to bottom. The smoke pipe should guide up to chimney, and should always ba straight and short. A shut off or cross damper is required in the smoke pipe to control the intensity of the chimney draft, and there should also be a check draft damper in the smoke pipe beyond the cross damper. Use check damper for the ordinary daily regulation of the fire. There should be a lift damper or slide in fire door, but never use this damper to check the fire. All dampers must fit true and be tight. With the check draft closed the fire should burn up quickly when the draft damper in the ash pit is open; otherwise the draft is deficient. The by-pass damper, if provided in your heater, must be tightly closed except when starting fire. The heater base must be tight, and grouted to the door, so no air leakage into the ash pit can occur at this point. Heating surfaces must be kept clean and free from soot and ash accummulations, and the entire ash pit must be cleaned daily. All basement piping, heating sue* faces, and smoke pipe must be completely covered. Soft coal should be fired frequently in rather small charges by the alternate or cooking methods, and all overdrafts should be closed as soon as, cooking is complete. The fire should not be poked nor stirred from above. House heaters must hare provision for overdrafts through fire door o£f around top of fire pot. The fuel pot must be kept full witkt firt surface at level of fire door; le| ashes Accumulate on (not under) th« grate in mild weather.
