HEALTH OF THE ARMY.
Less sickness and Drunkenness Vow
than Reported In Previous Years.

IMAM HepOrteO tTeStOuS
WASHINGTON, Oct. 17-The annual re-
port of the surgeon-general of the army
for the fiscal year ended June so, 1895,
shows a gratifying record as regards the
health of the army for the calendar year
of 1894, which, taken whole, may be
said to be the best annual record ever
consolidated from returns sent by the
United States army medical officers, for,
although the death rate is fraction
higher than the lowest rate ever recorded,
the other rates are by far lower than they
ever before have been in the history of
our army. The rate of nonefficient or con-
slant sickness was only 34.49, contrasting
favorably with 4015 In the previous year
and 42d as the average of the previous
ten years; ard tho average number OF
DAYS lost on account OF disability by each
man of the army was only 1873, as against
1i7 in 1898 and 15.5 in the previous ten
years. The prevalence of alcoholism in
the army continues to decline In 1890 no
less than seventeen posts had more than
10 per cent. of their Average under medical
care for drunkenness.a and during the
past year only four posts had this per-
centage The food furnished the army is
reported as ample in quantity, varied in
kind and we'll cooked and the clothing is
sued has given general satisfaction. The
metric system of weights and measures
has been adopted in place of the old sys-
tenn.
