Ev»»rv disease has its peason. The death records of Ocorpia bear out this statement. This Is the sea
son to Jail: out for pneumonia and its allied diseases. Two-thirds of all pneumonia deaths occurred be
tween October and April. In the winter of 1020 and 1921. there were 2.002 deaths from pneumonia and
2.331 from ii,li«reulosis. making a total of 4,333 or 14.5% of all deaths from all causes These figures do not
include the deaths*^i : c*u influenaa or bronchitis, nor those deaths where the patient was weakened by tuber
culosis, but died of some ncutij disease. The importance of knowing how to prevent them is realized when
you remember that about one death
in every seven is caused by these
two diseases. If you wish to prevent
such deaths, now is the time to be
gin. As a citizen, it is yohr duty to
do the best that you can along this
line.
A PERSON IN TIP-TOP SHAPE
, P H Y S 1 C A L L Y NEVER
CONTRACTS CONSUMPTION. This
disease always follows some other
* one. First, the had cold, then
grippe, then pneumonia and then tu
berculosis. The way to prevent tu
berculosis and pneumonia is the
same way that you prevent a had
cold.
See that the bowels act every
day. Eat regularly just as you would
feed a thresher or sorghum mill. Do
not try to feed all the cane or wheat
in at one time. Sleep regularly, keep ail the windows of the bed-room open day and night. Fresh air never
iujured anybody. Never sit in a draft when hot or perspiring, put on you* overcoat as soon as you quit work.
Never permit the feet to remain wet and cold.
All of these diseases are passed from one person to another by the secretions from the mouth or nose,
and when a person is sick with such, they should use either a rag or palpi’ to sneeze, cough or spit on and
burn it when used.
These are simple suggestions, BUT IF FOLLOWED CAREFULLY, BAD COLDS, COUGHS, PNEUMO
NIA and BRONCHITIS CAN BE PREVENTED, and with them That dreadful disease which lasts many
months and ends in death.
Follow this advice yourself, make your children follow it. It is simPly practicing common sense. Preach
It to your neighbors. The State Board of Health calls on you NOW to.put this information into actual prac
tice.

non, who will retire from the house
of representatives at the end of
his present term, after a service
of forty-six years, declared in an
open letter to his republican con

old heads to give way to young
hearts, alert, active minds and vi-

Writing as he explained on the
golden anniversary of his first elec

that in turning back his commiss

responsibility of public duty, but
simply to open the door of oppor
tunity to younger men.
