PNfcUMONIA
Pneumonia has been called "the
captain of the men of death" and
rightly so. It carries off 100,000
victims in the United States every
year.
We have learned how to prevent
typhoid and yellow fever, diph
theria, smallpox and many other
diseases that were formerly so
widespread and fatal, but we have
not found a specific remedy for
preventing or curing pneumonia.
It is most prevalent in January,
February and March. This proves
that there is some relationship be
tween cold, inclement weather and
pneumonia. There is more than
one type of this disease, any one
of which is apt to develop from a
common cold, that extends to small
areas here and there in the lungs.
This type accounts for many
deaths among old people and child
ren, especially the undernourished.
Accidents and anesthesia are
sometimes followed by pneumonia,
which is probably due to the in
halation of noxious microbes into
the lungs.
The most dangerous form of this
disease is due to a specific micro
organism known as the pneumo
coccus. This type runs a definite
course. The poisons generated
from the germ may cause death,
or the heart may be overcome and
■so disabled that it cannot keep up
the fight for life and the patient
succumbs. He may die from ex
haustion.
The treatment is to keep every
organ in the body in as good a
condition as possible. If this is
done, and the heart can be sus
tained, the patient, especially if
fairly strong, will overcome the
disease which usually runs its
course in from seven to nine days.
The alcoholic or habitual drinker
is a poor disk. He does not with
stand pneumonia well. The vigor
ous often survive, if complications
do not arise. Even then they may
recover, sometimes after a lengthy
convalescence.
Long exposure ta wet and low
•temperatures, remaining in damp
THE ROCKY MOUNT HERALD, ROCKY MOUNT, N. C., F
clothing, all tend to invite cold
which may result in b" attack of
pneumonia, especially among the

Dear Girls;,
If there is one mortal Who gets
on a person's nerves more than a
grouch it is the person who is
too nice.
One such person I have in mind
is a woman who absolutely refuses
to let one "be comfortable. She in
sists on your changing seats be
cause one (chair is softer th'an an
other. Then you must get up and
change its position because the
light is in your eyes.
Perhaps you are sitting in a
draft or you are in a spot where
there isn't any breeze. At any
rate it is up to you to keep on
the move if your hostess is to be
satisfied.
Probably you decide as the day
is hot that there .is nothing you
would enjoy more than keeping
quiet and reading a book, but are
you allowed to do this? „
I should say not. Our-)iostess
has planned out the day to the
minute and she works herself down
to give you a good time. You must
play cards, play golf, drive, do
anything but stay home and get a
few minutes rest.
She has grained her children to
be so "nice" that they almost drive
you mad. You gather from their
actions and conversation that their
one object in life is to entertain
you. In dulcet tones they ramble
on and talk for hours about inSane
things. They inquire as to. your
health and how you rested during
the night, etc., etc.
If you suggest that you need a
rest the entire family becomes
alarmed and if you manage to
forestall the doctor's visit, it is
up to you to, at least, take an
aspirin or an yeast cake.
If you take a walk the gar
den you must examine every shrub
and exclaim over every -bloom.
Someone accompanies you with the
express purpose of entertaining
you.
As I have said before, there is
such a thing as being too nice.
The average guest appreciates be
ing allowed to use his own brain
and to amuse himself every once
in a while.

The International Sunday
School Lesson for Feb. 25,
'The Twelve Sent Forth."
By M. F. Hcftiges
Time: 28 and 29 A. D.
Place: Galilee.
Characters: Jesus; the disciples
and the people.
Scripture lesson: Matthew 9:36-.
11:1.
Reading the continued story of
last Sunday's lesson (Matt 9:14-
32) we find Jesus is still pressed
by the crowds and kept busy by
those seeking relief, that it is dif
ficult to find any place for him to
secure any rest from his labors.
John's disciples come asking ques
tions. They want his disciples to
fast and be solemn. Jesus tells
them his disciples are too busy in
service for this. Too, he informs
them that they will have plenty
time after he is gone for that. A
distressed father comes to him be
cause of the serious illness of his
daughter. Jesus turns aside to
heal her. On the way Jesus heals
a woman of a disease of long du

ration. Two blind men follow,
begging him to open their eyes.
Jesus went about all the cities
teaching, preaching and healing.
Jesus taught about God and His
kingdom. Tijis healing was not
his fhain purpose. However thif
seems to be uppermost in the
thoughts of the crowds. Out of
the pity *of his heart he healed
their Sicknesses and diseases.
Jesus found the people fainting
and as sheep without a shepherd.
The religious leaders were con
cerned about ceremonies and out
ward religion. Jesus was concern
ed for folks themselves. He asked
that they pray with him that the
Father will send forth workers
into the harvest. Here Jesus calls
unto him his twelve disciples and
gives them power (authority) to
preach and to heal. While Jesu3
is itinerating in Galilee he is moved
with pity and compassion as he
sees the spiritual destitution of the
people, and here begins to pre
pare the twelve for their work.
If Jesug could not find the fit, he
took what he found and made it
fit. These twelve men were far
below the great task to which they
were called but Jesus takes them,
and with their willingness, makes
them equal to the task. This is
the way Jesus does with your weak
life and mine.

nightrobes. Especially is the vogue
of the sleeveless nightgown passing.
The newer models in some instances
have wrist-length sleeves which ap
pear almost quaint and amusing in
contrast to the sans-sleeve types ad
vocated these many seasons past.
A compromise between sleeveless and
long-sleeved is the gown which ha«
a tiny cap sleeve effect as here pic
tured, for it is fashion's decree that
shoulders must be covered. The
pretty model illustrated is fashioned
of chardonize, a soft lovely weave
which is particularly adapted to lin

tlfully, always retaining its ex
quisite silken sheen. The stylizing
of this gown with a fichu-like effect

men and women of a great pur
pose, a great devotion, men and
women willing to pay the price of
& great ideal. Selfishness and greed
has occupied high places in our
social and business life too long.
We need to learn a new lesson, and
our leaders need to have higher
and nobler purpose; a zeal for
Righteousness, therl conditions will
be better for all of us. Jesus
chose the twelve disciples from
the common run of folk. All the
twelve were from Galilee except
Judas who turned out badly, he was
from orthadox Judea. Out of
these common folk Jesus made
these men the builders of his
church. Are we waitirig today for
great men to come forth and build
the church in our communities ? It
seems sp. Give Jesus a chance
with your life as one of these com
mon folk and see what he can do
with you.
Jesus was face to face with the
task of establishing his kingdom
on earth. The task to be dont. the
hour of opportunity, were shared
by Jesus with this little company
of men, great and noble men in
the making, men whose names will
last as long as times shall last an I
eternity endure. The early itiner
ating preacher came into close con
tact with the masses, so did Jesus.
Since thep many of our fashion
able churches have gone away from
the masses and reach only the
classes. Doubtless many men out
yonder among the masses are
hungry for some human touch and
word of sympathy and failing to
get this resort to some other
method which is destructive. Now,
as in the day when Jesus talked
with the multitudes in Galilee, this
sense of compassion and compul
sion to serve is the first and essen
tial requisite for membership in
this company of whom he is chief.
If all the half billion professed
Christians on earth today had the
spirit of the Christ, what a dif
ferent world tjjis would be. Need
less to say wars would ceage, jus
tice would prevail, righteousness
would be proclaimed everywhere.
thinking of the millions in this
and other lands without Christ,
does it give you any concern? If
hot you fail to have the mind of
Christ. Do you long for the sal
vation of others and pray for it?
