during that dreadful invasion
There are two forms of pneumonia.
Isobar pneumonia is the common and
dreaded variety. Broncho-pneumo-
nia is less serious, and is, in a way,
simply an extension downwards of
bronchitis.
Lobar pneumonia is divided into
several types—four, to be exact.
From the layman's standpoint, how-
ever, we need not trouble to classify
the milder or more serious forme of
wiiat in its very type is an unwel-
come visitor.
Inoculation with pneumonia may
be traced to some micro-organism.
There are various Organisms that
may be responsible for the disease.
The most generally accepted idea as
to the identity of the offender Is that
the "pneumococcus" is responsible
for this dread malady.
Like the common weeds found
everywhere on earth, the pneumococ-
cus is one of the raost common of I
all the disease-producing organisms. |
Not alone is it responsible for pneu-
monia, but it is alBO the cause of J
abscesses of the ear, of the skin or ,
anywhere in the body. In "pink

State Dep't Says Governors
Shouldn't Attend Inaugura-
tion Officially.
WASHINGTON. Dev. 1.—The .tat.
department has made plain It does
not approve of American officials at-
tending the inauguration of Presi-
dent-elect Obregon of Mexico ln an
official capacity. One of the gov-
ernors planning to attend the in-
auguration asked the state depart-
ment whether it would object, it was
learned today.
The department replied that while
acceptance of the Invitation would be
considered "misleading", the depart-
ment did not feel it could advise the
governor as to his duty. The name
of the governor was not revealed.
The department also Instructed
George Summerlin, charge d'affaires
at Mexico City, not to attend the in-
auguration of President-elect Obre-
gon in an official capacity.
Summerlin was Instructed, how-
ever. to acknowledge the officig.1 in-
vitation of the Mexican government
to attend and also to attend the cere-
mony unofficially.
