LOOK OUT FOR !
PNEUMONIA
4t DOG - KILLER" SOUNDS A WARNING AGAINST
THE GREAT DESTROYER - SOME SIMPLE
RULES THAT MAY SAVE YOUR LIFE.
Editor Reporter :
As there is much pmnnnonia in
the country just now, 1 wish to
offer a few remarks for the con
sideration of your readers.
Pneumonia is a dreadful dis
ease, but perhaps nine tenths of;
all the cases we have could be pre- j
vented if the people would taki j
the proper precautiou to avoid the j
disease. The fact that this diseasi- j
o'curs more often during the win J
t«r than in the warmer month> j
suggests to me the cause uf the '
disease, and alio points out the ■
b sst means for it- prevention and
core.
Is it because th* weather i
colder, that poenmonia is more
prevalent in winter than in th.
warmer months '? No, nut nece.«
airily so, butt'i 1 cause lies it
the fact that the j ■ >ple house up.
a>id stay in closed au I badly van
tilated rooms uiure iu cold weath-1
er than they d ) i". warm weather. ■
In warm weather they are in the'
open air more, ami keep "Their
d jors arid wiiuiows opeu, and
hence their L»l« airt !ung-sub
sttnee do not g I p j.soucd by
breathing vitiated and devitalized
or de-oxydized air. I know that it
is held by some that pneumouia is;
caused by a germ, and, possibly
the claim may be true. But lam
in 'lined to believe that if germs
hive anything to do with pneu
monia, they act only as an exciting
oiuse, audare not the real or pri
mary cause of the disease, but de
pand on tho fundamental or real
cause for their existence; and I
balieve that this cause is only a
vitiated and devitalized condition
of the blood anil lung-substance,
K and whenever it i 3 lodged in the
lungs, furnishing, as it does, a
f kind of hot-bed or breeding
g ound for germs, they find a foot
•iog and begin to multiply and do
theijr work, and perhaps bring
,1. about thai condition of the lungs
/"•Are call "pneumonia;"* so-called
disease germs are >uatuae's scnv%
etigers ; aud while 8 'me of then,
are small microscopic plants and
are almost everywhere there i«
tilth, Ido not thiuk pueumouia i
garrns can do as any harm unless j
our lungs get loaded with vitiates
" ' devitalized or deoxylizod air. |
wheu the lungs do booome s ;
charged with this vitiated matter,!
these little germs or scavengers f j
n tnre, send out their roots o !
feeders into the lung-substance
in search cf the tilthy stuff
th nr natural food, and in doinpj
this perhaps they rupture, din
place, and have iimea to do i;
bringing about the inilation, io
fla nmition and i-rgau c eh mgei
cti irrt t fistic uf pneumonia. Nov
if pntum n>i-\ gt-rms caunot find *
foo'iug or vantngi ground in oui
lunxs until tin lungs fiist g
load id with vitiated matter, how
imp j.tint it becomes that we kee;
our lungs clean. How, then, can
we keep them clean ? By con-
them as it were
"r draughts of pure vi-
air. And noi'n-
H'*)Jhl' us to do this

ibout as ne-essary to empty every
nook arid currier of the lungs of
aU their stagnant or vitiated air as
it is to breath in a full supply of
vital or oxydized air. Oxygen is
the vital or respirable part of the
common atmospheric air, and
when the common atmospheric air
has lost its oxygenjit is no longer
fit to breathe. And now, reader, j
hero is a point I wish to impress j
with all the force I can : When j
you keep your rooms closed up j
tightly >ou soon breathe up or
consume all the oxygen the air in
th room contains, and not only
so, but you soon load this already
le-vitializ -d air with the car
bon ie acid gns and filthy exhal-!
itions yon send out from the lung*- !
mil other iin'ts of the hodv ; and j
unless the ventilation or air move-1
ment of the room is sufficient to!
b-i- g in plenty of fresh or «\
ydized air and sweep out the de-;
vitalized and vitiated air, the|
lungs soon become congested or;
loaded with the foul stuff, and
'
furnish a breeding-ground for j
germs, which can find a footing
ouly under such conditions. The!
air in the room having been ex-1
hausted of its oxygen, there can j
be only imperfect combustion of
the carbonaceous elements of our
food, the animal heat is lowered 1
and we fee! fol 1 and chilly. When
these conditions are established,
look out for pneumonia.
There an' other things I wanted
to have said about fresh air, but as
my letter is already too long, 1
will stop now and write again.

DEATH OF RAY MARTIN.
Was the Son CI Mr. W. C. Martin. Of
Moore's Springs—An Excellent
Young Man.
Ray, the 15-year-old son of Mr.
William C. Marti", of Moore's
Surinfjs, died suddenly of heart
disease nt the home of bis father
about 3 o'clock Saturday morning.
He was said to be an excellent
young man. Ho burned a plant
bed all day on Friday. Some
time in the night he became ill,
and Mr. Nube Lankford. wh® lives
near by, was sent after Dr. Mc
canless at Danbury. When tho
doctor arrived the yon tig man was
dead.
Universal sympathy is express
ed for the unfortunate father,
whose cup of had luck seems to be
full. On the first page of this
paper appears an account of his
runaway a few days since in which
ho sustained injuries that it is
feared will result in the luS3 of his
foot. Only a few mouths ago he
lost a tine mule, worth about
S2OO 00. And now comes the great
est loss of all, his buy, who was a
great help to him with his farm.
Death Cf Mr. Joseph Hutchens.
Mr. Joseph Hutchens, of Camp
bell Route 1, died at his home last
week of consumption, after a
lingering illness. Mr. Hutchens
was a meipber of tho North View
Primitive Baptist Church, and was
a man highly respected by his
neighbors for his integrity and
high sense of honor. He was the
father of Mr. T, Hutchens, of
Madison.
Mr. Goo. laom, who died lost
week, carried life insurance for
81,000.00.
MARION HARLAND.
The celebrated authoress, so
highly esteemed by the women of
America, says on page 103 and 44f>
of her popular work, "Eve's
Daughters; or, Common Sense for
Maid, Wife and Motner:" "Foi
the aching buck—should it be slow
in recovering its normal strength
—an Allcock's Piaster is an ex
cellent comforter, combining the
sensation of the sustained press
ure of a strong warm hand with
certain tonic qualities developed
in the wearing. It should be kept
over the seut of nnensiness for
several days—in obstintte cas- s,
for perhaps a fortnight."
"For pain in the back wear Hn
Allcock's Plaster constantly, re
newing as it wears off. This is an
invaluable support when the
weight on the small of the back
becomes heavy and the aching in
cessaut.

Cove Route 3, WHS here Tuesday.
Mr. Lasley is one of our county's
best citizens,
