Washington, D. C.—(Special.)—Ac
cording to a report made to the United
States 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 uud tuberculosis was
recently made by Sir Arthur News
holme, the chief medical officer of the
English public health service, In his
unalysls of the tuberculosis death rate
In England.
In order that the people of the Unit
ed States may profit by the experience
of other countries Surgeon General
Rupert Blue of the United States Pub
lic Health Service has Just Issued u
warning emphasizing the need of spe
I
<-S*i 1 precautions at ttie present rime.
"Experience seems to indicate," says
the Surgeon General, "that persons
whose resistance has been weakened
by an attack of influenza are peculiar
ly susceptible to tuberculosis. With
millions of its people recently affected I
with influenza this country now of
fers conditions favoring the spread of j
tuberculosis.”
One Million Consumptives in the
United States.
“Then you consider this a serious
menace?" was asked. “In my opinion
it is, though I hasten to add it is dis
tinctly one against which the people
can guard. So far as one cun estimate
there are at present about one million
cases of tuberculosis In the United
States. There is unfortunately no
complete census available to show ex
actly the number of tuberculosis per
sons in each state despite the fact that
most of the states have made the dis- j
ease reportable. In New York city,
where reporting has been in force for
many years, over 35,000 cases of tu
berculosis are registered with the De
partment of Health. Those familiar
with the situation believe that the ad
dition of unrecognized and mi reported
cases would make the number nearer
50,000. The very careful health sur
vey conducted during the past two
years in l-’ramingham, Mass , revealed
■_’00 cases of tuberculosis in a popula
tion uf approximately 15,000. If these
proportions hold true for the United
States as a whole they would indicate
that about one 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 the public Sur
geon General Blue points out how
those who have had influenza should j
protect themselves against tuberculo- j
sis. “Ail who have recovered from in
fluenza," says tlie 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 be free tVom 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 get well promptly, if your eold
seems to hang on or your health and
strength decline, remember that these
are often the early signs of tuberculo
sis. Place yourself at once under the
cure <>f a competent physician. Tuber
culosis is curable in the early stages.
Patent Medicines Dangerous in Tuber
culosis.
“Above nil do not trust in the mis
leading statements of unscrupulous
patent medicine fakers. There is no
specific medicine for the cure of tuber
culosis. The money spent on such
medicines is thrown away; jt should
Ik* spent instead for good food and de
cent living."
NO ONE SUFFERED HERE.
The marvel of our voluntary food
nivlng, now that we are “getting re
sults," is that no one ever actually
suffered any hardship from it; that
>ve all are better in liealta and spirit
tnd better satisfied with ourselves be
cause of our friendly self-denial.
Food control in America field the
price of breadstuff's steady, prevented
vicious speculation and extortion and
preserved tranquillity at home.
In no other nation is there so willing
a sense of voluntary self-sacrifice as
n America that was shown In the
ibstinenee from wl eat.
Find more wheat, It came; more
>ork. It came; save sugar, it was done,
-to Americans answered the challenge
>f German starvation.
Good will rules the new world as
fear governed the old world. Through
sharing food America helps make the
whole world kin.
Food control made sufficiency from
shortage, kept the rein on food prices,
gave the nation's full stiength exer
cise.
Starvation by Germany challenged
all the world; food conservation In
America answered the challenge.
Food conservation In America nas
been tlie triumph of Individual devo
tion to the national causu.

PROVED SPIRIT
OF DEMOCRACY
Voluntary Basis of Food Saving
Showed Heart of America
Beat True for Freedom.
To the voluntary service and sacri
fice of the American people must he
attributed the continued health,
strength and morale of the Allied ar
mies and the civil populace.
Upon this spirit of service and sac- j
rlfice will depend Europe's fate In the
months to come. In the past year we
have carried out an export program,
the magnitude of which Is almost he I
yond comprehension. Hut with the:
new demands that have come, with
the liberation of nations freed from
German oppression, our exports mus!
he almost doubled. Instead of ll.S'JO,
txto ins, we must Ship twenty million
tons of food to Europe in the coming
year—as much us cun he pushed
through our ports.
If the Allies had not been fed by j
America, It would have been impos
sible for them to maintain their de
fense against Germany.
Meeting ibis world need on a purely
voluntary bnsls. the American people
have conclusively proved that democ
racy is a success ano that in lime of
need It will rise to its own defense. j
If there were no other accomplish
meat to its credit the very fact that it j
hus shown the strength of democracy I
has In Itself more than justified the j
existence of the Food Administration 1
in the eyes of the world.
Less than four months after the
United States declared war tin* United
Stutes Food Administrator expressed
his determination to meet America's
food problem on a basis of voluntary
action and reiterated Ids confidence
that awakened democracy would prove
Irresistible.
“Many thinking Americans," said
Mr. Hoover, “and the whole world
have been watching anxiously the last
four ^months in the fear that demo
cratic America could not organize to I
meet autocratic Germany. Germany j
lins beey confident that it could not tie !
done. Contrary proof is immediately
at our door, and our people have al
ready demonstrated their ability to
mobilize, organize, endure and prepare
voluntarily and efficiently In many di
rections and upon the mere word of
Inspiration aside from the remarkable
assemblage of our Army and finances '
The history of the Food Administra
tion has clearly shown that the trust
of those who put their faith lit democ
racy has not been misplaced.

HEALTH TALK
SPANISH INFLUENZA OR GRIP
BY DIt. LEE n. SMITH.
An old enemy is with ns again, and
whether we fight a German or a germ,
we must put up a good fight, and not be
afraid. The influenza iuns u very brief
course when the patient is careful, and
if wre keep the system in good condition i
and throw off the poisons which tend to
accumulate within our bodies, we can
escape the disease. Remember these
three C’s—a clean mouth, a clean skin,
and clean bowels. To carry off poisons
from the system and keep the bowels
loose, daily doses of a pleasant laxative
should be taken. Such a one is made
of May-apple, leaves of aloe, root of
jalap, and called Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant
Pellets. Ilot lemonade should be used j
freely if attacked by a cold, and the j
patient should be put to bed after a hot
mustard foot-bath.
To prevent the attack of bronchitis or
pneumonia and to control the pain, :
Anuric tablets should be obtained at the
drug store, and one given every two i
hours, with lemonade. The Anuric tab- j
lets were first discovered by Dr. Pierce,
and, as they flush the bladder and |
cleanse the kidneys, they carry away
much of the poisons and"the uric acid.
It is important that broth-, r.ii’k, but
termilk, ice-cream and ' : diet
be given regularly to strengthen the sys
tem and increase the vital resistance.
The fever is diminished by the use of the
Anuric tablets, but in addition, the fore
head, arms and hands may be bathed
with water (tepid) in which a table
spoonful of salaratus has been dissolved
in a quart. After an attack of grip or
pneumonia to build up and strengthen
the system, obtain at the drug store a
good iron tonic, called " Irontic” Tab
lets, or that well known herbal tonic,
Dr. Pierce’s Gulden Medical Discovery.
