Health Sunday
The appeal of Surgeon General
Rupert Blue to the churches to set
aside Sunday, February 23, as
“Health Sunday,” will undoubtedly
be widely observed, particularly by
those ministers who recognize the
gravity of the social problem presen
ted by demobilization. The cam
paign for a clean nation, which Sur
geon General Blue is carrying on,
backed by President Wilson and the
principal members of his Cabinet,de
pends on law enforcement; on provi
sion being made for all who are
found to be infected with venereal
disease, on intelligent, humane and
careful guidance and treatment of
the women who through immoral
practices have been the chief spread
era of the venereal diseases, and on
education. And the greatest of those
Is education.
In this phase of the campaign the
pulpit can be immensely helpful. The
people must be urged to make them
selves acquainted with the facts.
Through the U. S. Public Health Ser
vice all the facts are made available
to every responsible citizen. In his
appeal. Surgeon General Flue sen
ses part of the difficulty of dealing
with these matters from the pulpit,
but, at the same time, he shows the
way out. He says;
“While it may not seem always ex
pedient to discuss at length the rava
ges of venereal disease before audi
ences composed of both sexes and of
widely different ages ,a sermon on
the responsibility of the churches for
the health and social morals would
give an opportunity to stress the
particular problem of demobilization
as a part of the larger public health
problem. The pastor may also urge
upon his people the timeliness of a
campaign for civic cleanliness, both
physical and moral, in view of the
expected return of the men and wo
men who had gone out to make sac
rifice in the great crusade of righte
ousness and freedom. Not only
should they find, upon their return,
a warm welcome from the religious
forces of the home community, but
the churches should see that, so far
as possible, the sources of temptation
are removed" and wholesome recrea
tion and social companionship pro
vided.”
So the way is pointed out by which
this subject, so vital to the health
and the efficiency of the nation, may
be brought squarely to the attention
of the churchgoers of the country
It is a tremendous fight that has

VACCINE OFFERED
Health Office Says Mono Should Die i
Of Lobar Pneumonia —Heath Bate
. j Sligk.iy Loner.
, i "Why die from pneumonia?” the
. i Health Department asks ’n a bulle
.; tin yesterday advising the public of
. | a fresh supply of vaccine for the pre
j vention of lobar pneumonia, turn
: j ished by the United States Army for
. 1 free distribution.
. | The department said that about Is
1 1 per cent, of the deaths in Baltimore
I were due to pneumonia. Forty-nine
persons died in the city last week
from lobar pneumonia, and 36 from
broncho pneumonia. "The public
should be willing to submit to any
1 preventive injection which offers any
! protection against such a danger,”
the department said.
: It stated that the vaccine was
i i made from the germs which produce
j about 75 per cent, of all cases of
j pneumonia, and that the results al
read obtained among large num
bers of soldiers have encouraged ar
! my officials to recommend its use,not
only among the soldiers, bn* civilians
as well. As a note of warning the
department said that “nurses, atten
dants and others who are exposed in
hospitals or houses to cases of pneu
monia are especially liable to con
tract this infection, and as only one
preventive injection is necessary, the
inconvenience is greatly lessened, as
compared to that of typhoid fever,
where three injections are used.”
The department went >n to say
that “next to tuoerculosis. pneumo
nia probably causes more deaths than
any other one disease,” and pointed
to the fact that “experiments made
in the array upon soldiers who have
been inoculated with this vaccine
show that their blood 10 weeks later
j will protect mice against 1,000 times
the usual fatal dose of the pneumo
' coccous, which is the cause of pneu
| monia. The practical observations
i as to its protection to the troops are,
! therefore, supplemented by scientific
! experiments upon animals, showing
i that the blood of vaccinated persons
contains a large amount of protec
tive material against pneumonia.
“A citizen.” ihe department add
ed, “will promptly dive into a cy
clone cellar to avoid a high wind, or
in a bomb-proof dugout to escape
bombing from a Zeppelin or an aero
plane. This might happen to him
i once in a lifetime. He may at any
day or hour be exposed to the dan-

Soldiers’ Letters 1
<
Mrs. Anna Newcomb has received j
several letters from her husband on <
this mail, but the latest was dated (
January sth, and is as follows; | (
Dear Wife and Baby;
Just received a letter from you. '
It has been about six weeks since I *
have heard from you, and I was wor- <
ried very badly, as I thought you ,
had the “flu,” but I was surprised (
when I read,the letter saying that
you were well, and were getting along '
alright. I guess everybody over there *
will have the “flu” before it is over <
with. From what I can hear, it must i
be very thick. You said you were ,
afraid the baby would get It. Yes,
Anna, you must take care of the ba
by, and remember you can catch the ;
"flu” as well as the baby, so you
must be careful yourself, and not go
in it.
Anna, I got weighed on New Year’s
Day, find I weighed 160 pounds,
which is not so bad. We have every
Saturday afternoon off, and Sunday
all day. We had Christmas Day off,
and every day after that until after
New Year’s Day, and some day this
month we have seven days off tO' go
anywhere we want to. and I think 1
would like to go to Paris, but they
won’t allow us to go there.
Anna, it is cold here some days,
and some days it is just like sum
mer. The grass s still growing over
here. I wish you could come over
here. We have pretty scenery, es
pecially in the summer time. Well,
I am in the Army Candidate School
yet, but it will be discontinued, but I
don’t mind that at all, because it
would not do me much good, as the
war is now over, and I do not want
to stay in the army any longer than
I have to. so I don’t care a bit.
Anna, I have not received my
Christmas box yet; lots of the boys
have received them, but I have not,
and I will be glad when it comes, be
cause I would like to have one more
piece of candy from the U. S. A-.and
I know it will be good, even if there c
isn’t any candy in the box, just so !
it is from home. Today is Sunday, '
and I am so lonely, nearly all of the j
boys went up town today; I did not 1
want to go, but now I wish I had ;
{ gone, because I have nothing at all !
Ito do after I finish this letter. I i
thought 1 had, but I have not, or at
least it makes me happy when I
think I am going to get to come home
soon. I heard today that we would
be on our way home by the first of
February; now don’t that sound
good? But lam afraid to believe it,
because we often hear that. I know
they have had this school on its way
home a hundred times, and we are
still here.
Well, when I get back to dear old
Cambridge I will be some proud, be
lieve me. Answer soon, and take
care of Levin, Jr., and yourself.
Your loving husband,
Sergt. Levin Newcomb.
