Pneumonia may be caused in many by anyone of a number of different kinds of germs. However, the most common offender is the one known as the diplococcus (double berry) of pneumonia or as pneumococcus. It is known that pneumonia is responsible for more deaths in certain age groups than is caused by any other disease, yet people of all ages may and do become its victims. Because of the different manner in which these germs grow and affect the persons suffering from pneumonia four types of the disease are recognized. Pneumonia is a communicable disease and the germs may be spread by being carried on dust particles floating in the air.

Susceptible, persons may become infected by breathing air containing dust particles laden with the germs thrown off by the sneezing, coughing, spitting or. even perhaps with, the breathing of the persons ivho have the disease. Sometimes non-susceptible or non-ill persons may carry and spread the germs to others. The reason why the carrier is not ill is because he has in his blood stream "immune bodies" which protect him from falling a prey the ravage of the germs and the toxin which they produce. Natural resistence or immunity is man's surest protection against pneumonia.

Natural resistance is best acquired and maintained by the practice of proper habits of living. Observance of the following rules will prove of benefit: Avoid exposure to those persons who are ill; secure sufficient sleep and proper relaxation of mind and body; practice cleanliness and secure proper natural elimination of body waste; inhale pure air deeply, exhale used air completely and avoid excessive heat; drink freely of water and avoid over stimulating drinks; eat properly selected, prepared and served foods in moderation; protect the body by selecting clothing for comfort and suitable to seasons rather than for style. Remember that although an attack of pneumonia may not result fatally it frequently is the forerunner of other diseases and complications which may cause prolonged disability or death. When any person is affected with a cold, it is prudent to go to bed at once. If the cold is accompanied with a chill or pain in the chest better call in the family physician at once, for early diagnosis and treatment may save much time and suffering.

The recently published "legal notice" calling a meeting of the Lake county council for January 4 and 5 contains two items which might be improperly interpreted by the general taxpayer. The two items referred to make it appear as if additional appropriation are being requested for the Lake county health department. No additional money is being requested. The items appear for the purpose of having the county council reallocate moneys already appro- RUTH BROWN AND HAROLD NEAL MARRIED The marriage of Miss Ruth Brown, youngest daughter of M. J.

JUST ANOTHER FARMER TOWi) Find 18 Farms Scattered Throughout the City; Supply Milk By JOHN H. TOBLEE (United Press Staff Correspondent.) PARIS, France, Dec. one of Europe's largest capitals, has 18 genuine farms within its limits.

They are not concentrated in one district but scattered. Of course, they have no broad meadows or fields of grain, but they are csal farms. One of the most important Is In the smoke grimed industrial canter of Belleville. It is difficult to realize that in a region where factories and towering chimneys reign supreme, there would exist such a peaceful pursuit as fanning. Yet, a visitor entering this farm yard at 6 o'clock in the morning would hit upon a typical barnyard scene, a bit of Normany plumped down in the middle of Paris, and see the farmer and his wife going about their chores, cleaning out.

Cows Get Vacation To regain all their vitality which they slowly lose in the city, owing to the lack of fresh air and gress, the cows, when they are young, ara sent to the provinces every year for vacation. There is another farm In ths historic Gobelins district. It is efficiently run by a farmer and his wife.

They keep a score of sows and have an up to date dairy. Each day they deliver the milk, mostly in the Latin quarter. A third farm is the district of the Buttes Chaumont. The cows of this farm have the advantags of receiving the freshly cut. grass which grows on the hillocks of ths well known park.

Very few people are aware of ths fact that 18 farms still exist within the Paris city limits, and. certainly, it is one of the last things a for-.
