Tippett officiated., 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 RED CROSS HAD i MEETJNG-FRIDAY OFFICERS ELECTED FOR 1919- MEMBERSHIP DRIVE BEGINS DEC. 1STH sons In each state despite the feet that most ot the states hare made the dis- - ease reportable.

Those familiar 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.
