Washington, D. 0.—(Special.)—Ac
cording to a report made to the United
States-Public Health Service, the epi
demic of lnflaensa in Spain has al
ready caused an increase in the preva
lence and deaths from pulmonary tu
berculosis. A similar association be-
- tween influenza and-tuberculosis was
recently made by Sir Arthur Nows-
holme, the chief medical officer of the
English public health service, in his
- analysis of the tubercolosls death rate
In England.
1 In order that the peoplo of the Unit
ed States may profit by the'experience
of' other countries Surgeon General
Rupert Blue of the United States Pub-
11c Health Service has just Issued a
warning emphasizing the need of spe
cial precautions at the present time.
I “Experience seems to Indicate,” says
the Surgeon General, “that persons
whose resistance has been weakened’
* by an attack of lnflaensa are peculiar
ly susceptible to tuberculosis. With
millions of Its people 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)" wag asked. “In my opinion
It is, though I hasten to add It la 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. Thera Is unfortunately no
complete census available tog show ex
actly the number ot tuberculosis pe>
mm ciio .nun cion uynuve mat ino aa-
ditlon of unrecognized and unreported
cases would make the'number nearer
60,000. The very careful health sur
vey conducted during tho past two
years in Framingham, Mass., revealed
200 cases of tuberculosis In a popula
tion of approximately 15,000. It these
proportions hold true for tho United
States as a whole they would Indicate
that about one In every hundred per
sons Is tuberculous. Each of these
constitutes a source ot danger to be
guarded against” , ' ■> ; ’./
What to-Do.
In his statement to tho public Sur-.
geon General Blue points out-how
those who havo had Influenza should
protect themselves lignlnst tuberculo
sis. “All who.haVo' recovered from In
fluenza,” says the Surgeon General,
“should have their lungs curofully ex
amined by a, competent physician. In
fact, it Is desirable to have several, ex
aminations made a moiith apart. Such
examinations cannot bo made through
the clothing nor can they be carried
out In two or three mlnuteg^ If tho
lunge are found to be free from' tuber
culosis every effort should be made to
keep them so. This can be done by
right living, good food and plenty of

A faithful few were present at the
Red Cross meeting called for Friday
afternoon despite the prevalence, of
inclement weather. The meeting was
called piitnarily for the annual elec
tion of officers and because it had
been repeatedly postponed it was nc
tliec hild. Whether these circum
stances influenced her to take the tab
let for the purpose of destroying her
life or whether she took it thinking it
only a harmless antidote for pain is
not known.
Mrs. Mills lived here with her fam
ily for a number of years prior'to her
marriage about two years ago. She
was about twenty-four years of age.
Funeral services Were held from the
Wine Saturday morning, Rev. ,T. W.
Tippett officiating. The remains were
not interred until Sunday morning be
ing held out awaiting the arrival of
her brothers who were in distant mil
itary camps. Interment was made in
thq city cemetery.
Friday afternoon about 3 o'clock
the spirit of Mrs. Max Feldser passed
ir.to tho beyond. She had been ill on
ly. n-fare days, her death'being due to
influent* For many years Mrs. Feld-
Sor l-d been a great sufferer and hdr
frail body fell an easy prey to - the
deadly disease.
1 The deceased had been a resident
of Vienna since her marriage to Mr.
Feldser sixteen years ago, prior to
that tima she had lived in New York,
her maiden name being Miss Katie
Kopelowitz.
Mrs. Feldser possessed many ad
mirable characteristics, and during
her stay here ha3 won tho friendship
of all who have been her neighbors
and associates. Of Jewish descent,
she was loyal to the'faith of her fath
ers, living consistently in accordance
with this creed she embraced. She was
only 39 years of ago at the time of
her death. She leaves a grief strick
en husband and two spiall boys, an
older, son having preceded her to the
grave several years ago. All her
other relatives -are residents 6t
northern cities. ’
A-short ceremony presided over by
a Jewish' Rabbi from 'Cordele was
held Sunday morning just prior to the
departure »f the funeral cortege on
the morning train for Macon. The fi
nal service was held at Rose Hill cem
etery Monday at 10 o’clock, Rabbi
Glysk officiating at the obsequies.
FolltSy.'ing a brief and painful ill
ness death came to Ottis Lupo, tho
twenty-fwo .year old son of Mr. and
Mm. ,S. N. Lupo .at their home near
thii city early Thursday morning.
Mr; Lupo was living in Macon, being
in tho employ of tho Morritt Hard
ware Co. About a week prior to his
death he felt the first symptoms of
the disease that resulted.in his death,
and came immediately home thinking
he would recover moro rapidly. The
malady with which ho was affected
was greatly aggravated by the trip
homo and ho grew rapidly worse until
death came. /
Tho young man was widely ac
quainted here, where for some time
ho was in tho employ of tho Farmers
Hardware Co. Ho was a young man
of exceptionally fine morals. Ho was
professed Christian and conscious
of his approaching death expressed a
willingness and rcadincs to go.
The funeral occurred late Thurs
day afternoon, the Rev. A. Waters of
ficiating. Interment in the family
