Therefore this is by far the greatest Tuauksgiv lug day that tills nation bus known. The day, therefore, should be not only one of thanksgiving but of consecra tion. The American people can now see that there Is In this world some thing greater than the accumulation of wealth, and that life has values which they have not before appreci ated.

The American people should be deeply thankful that they ere called to this grout service, which Is nothing more than the return that they owe to humanity for the wonder ful bles, mgs that have been showered upon them. 'That I may know the fellowship of His sufferings"—such was tho prayer of the apostle. Through their participation in the sorrow and suffer ing of their brethren the American people may develop a purer, stronger, more exalted and spiritual life than any they have hitherto known. The very somberness with which the day Is enshrouded ought therefore to serve to glorify It. This year, of all years, we are thankful not for what we have but for what we are able to do, and for the opportunity and will to do It hands and with a back aching from heavy toil. But most of all I am thankful that 1 am living today so that, with the rest of thinking humans, I am witness of the birth of a new code for nations, a code so deep, so high, so filled with justice that one must believe the prophecy of Revelation to be coming true. As one with aching heart and streaming eyes must be thankful for the pains of motherhood which bring a new soul to earth, so I am thankful for tho heroic agony of the Allies, which is bringing a new spirit to the nations of the world. —Delineator.

Don’t waste money on patent medicines advertised to cure tu berculosis. lit come a fresh-air crank and enjoy life. , Washington, D. C. — (Special.)—Ac cording to a report made to the United HI i*v.s Public Health Service, the epi demic of influenza In Spain has al ready caused an increase in the preva lence and deaths from pulmonary tu berculosis. A similar association be tween Influenza und tuberculosis was recently made by Sir Arthur News holme, the chief medical officer of the English public health service, in his analysis of the tuberculosis death rate in England, In order that the people of the Unit ed States muy profit by tbe experience of other countries Surgeon General ltupert Blue of the United States Pub lic Health Service has just Issued a warning emphasizing tho need of spe cial precautions at the present time. ’Experience seems to Indicate," says tin Surgeon General, “that persons -e re Uinta has 1 on weakened by an attack of Influenza aro peculiar ly susceptible to tube.•■••do-,ls. W’th millions of Its people rt . affect, d with Influenza this c< ry now of ; cur <ll, oils fuvorlnj e spread of tuberculosis." Ono Million Consumptives In the United States. "Then you consider tills « serious menace?” was,asked. "In my opinion It Is, though I hasten to add It Is dis tinctly one against which the people Sin guard. So far as one can estimate f.ere are at present about one million .rises of tuberculosis in the United isiutes. There is unfortunately no complete census available to show ex actly tho number of tuberculosis per sons In each state despite the fact that most of the states have made the dis ease reportable. In New York city, where reporting has been In force for many years, over 85,000 cases of tu berculosis uro registered with the De partment of Health. Those familiar with tho situation believe that the ad dition of unrecognized arid unreported cases would make tho number nearer 00,000. The very careful health sur vey conducted during tho past two years In Framingham, Mass., revealed MX) cases of tuberculosis In a popula tion of approximately 15,000. If these proportions hold true for the United States as a whole they would Indicate that about oue in every hundred per sons is tuberculous. Each of these constitutes a source of danger to be guarded against." What to Do. In his statement to tho public Sur geon General Blue points out how those who have had Influenza should protect themselves against tuberculo sis. “AU 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 cannot be made through the clothing nor can they be carried out in two or three minutes. If the lungs are found to he 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 fresh air." Danger Signs. The Surgeon General warned espe cially against certain danger signs, such as "decline” and “colds which hang on." These, he explained, were often the beginning of tuberculosis. “If you do not feet well promptly, If your cold seems to bang on or your health and strength decline, remember that these are often tho early signs of tuberculo sis. Place yourself at once under the care of a competent physician. Tuber culosis ts curable in the early stages. Patent Medicines Dangerous In Tuber culosis. “Above all do not trust tn the mis leading statements of unscrupulous patent medicine fakeis. There is no specific medicine for tl r cure ot tuber culosis. The money -pent on such medicines is throw n - - ay; it should be spent instead for -. • i food and de cent living." • tl. S. HEALTH SERVICE ISSUES WARNING increase in All Respiratory Dis eases After the Influenza Epidemic Probable, Influenza Expected to Lurk for Months. How to Guard Against Pneumonia. Common Cold* Highly Catching—lm portance of Suitable Clothing—Cduld 6ave 100,000 Uvea. Washington, D, C. —With the subsid ence of the epidemic of influenza the attention of health officers is directed to pneumonia, bronchitis and other diseases of the respiratory system which regularly cause a large number of deaths, especially during the winter season. According to Hu port Blue, Surgeon General of the United States Public Health Service, these diseases will be especially prevalent this win ter unless the people are particularly earefui to obey health instructions. “The present epidemic," said Sur geon General Blue, “has taught by bit ter experience how readily a condition beginning apparently as a slight cold may go on to pneumonia and death. Although the worst of the epidemic ts oer, there will continue to be a largo number of scattered cases, many of them mild and unrecognized, which will be danger spots to be guarded against.” The Surgeon General likened the present sltuatlou to that after a great fire, saying, “No fire chief who understands his business stops playing the hose on the charred debris as soon as the flames and visible fire have dis appeared. On the contrary, he con tinues the water for hours and even days, for he knows thut there is dan ger of the fire rekindling from smol dering embers.” “he - you fear another outbreak of Influenza?” he was asked. “Not neces sarily another large epidemic,” sahl (he Surgeon General, "hut unless the people learn to realize the seriousness of the danger they will be compelled to pay a heavy death toll from pneumo nia and other respiratory diseases. Common Colds Highly Catching. “It is encouraging to observe that people are beginning to learn that or dinary coughs and colds are highly catching and are spread from person to person by means of droplets of germ laden mucus. Such droplets are sprayed Into the utr when careless or Ignorant people cough or sneeze with out covering their mouth and nose. It Is also good to know that people have learned something about the value of fresh air. In summer, when people ire largely out of doors, the- resplra i 'ory diseases (coughs, colds, pneumo nia, e(c.j are infrequent; In the fall, as peiifcflb Begin to remain Indoors, the respiratory diseases increase; in the winter, when people are prone to stay tn badly ventilated, overheated rooms,, the respiratory diseases become very prevalent Suitable Clothing Important. “Still another factor in the produc tion of colds, pneumonia und other re spiratory diseases Is carelessness or ig norance of the people regarding suit able clothing duflng the seasons when the weather suddenly changes, sitting In warm rooms too heavily dressed or, what ts even more common, especially among women, dressing so tightly that windows are kept closed In order to be comfortably warm. This Is a very in jurious practice. Could Save 100,000 Lives. “I believe we could easily save one hundred thousand lives annually In the United States if all the people would adopt the system of fresh air living followed, for example, lu tuber culosis sanatoria. There Is nothing mysterious about it—no specific medi cine, no vaccine. The important thing j Is right living, good food und plenty cf fresh air. Droplet infection Explained in Picture*. “The Bureau of Public Health, Treasury Department has just Issued a striking poster drawn by Berryman, tbe well-known Washington cartoonist The poster exemplifies the modem method of health education. A few ! years ago, under similar circumstances, j the health authorities would have Is- j sued an official dry but scientifically j accurate bulletin teaching tho role of droplet infection in the spread of re spiratory diseases. The only ones who | would have understood the bulletin would have been those who already knew all about the subject The man ! in the street the plain citizen and the many millions who toil for their living I would have had no time and no desire j to wade through the technical phrase- ■ ology."
