ton OF appropriate material from the great
mass presented.
The writer desires to make a suggestion
or two, and trusts that Col. John r. Young.
the efficient librarian, will take the matter
INTO favorable consideration:
L. Let newspapers throughout the coun-
Try be requested to send to the library one
or two copies of each issue for it's special
use.
= Let additional help be employed. if
necessary, to select carefully from these
papers matter for a series of scrap books
IN science. biography, history politics poet-
ryr theoIogy, mathematics. language etc
etc: Inc subject matter needs to be care
luIly classlhed and put into separate vol
uihes, according to most approved methods
Oh forming such scrap books
3 Let all these scrap books be nronerly
tnoeXed so that person desiring informa-
tiCh upon any subject can have in additi-
uon 10 all that he can secure from encycIo-
pedlaS and special treatises what the news
papers of the country have gathered on tho
same me For example, during the current
war al our newspapers have had from time
10 time very important articles on the in
habitants, resources, productions cIiroaie
characteristics, ETC. of Cuba Porto Ricn
the Philippines. Ladrones, etc. This infor-
NATION was often secured at heavy expense
and much labor on the part of correspond
tlltS ana Is OF immense value
T. The initiation and prosecution of such
a plan on the part of the Congressional Ii
Drary, in addition to its direct benefits TO
lts immaculate patrons, will be serviceable in
stimulating throughout the country the
practice by individuals of utilizing in scran

FOUND In such great abundance in all pubIf

terry The accomplishment of this des;--
able result will be the attainment of a most
important end. The language of Jesus tn

Results Of Visits to Camps Alger and
Dunn Loring.
REGIMENTS TOO CLOSE TOGETHER
How Sanitary Rules Were Fre-
quentIy Violated.
F A CTS LEARLY STATED D

DR.. G. L. Magruder of this city has made
at Camps Alger and Dunn Loring He has
personally inspected these camps and in
vestigated the manner OF conducting them
from a sanitary and medical point of view.
In addition to data obtained in this man.
ner. DR.. Magruder has collected from the
surgeon generals office such official in
formation could be had only there.
With the facts SO gath DR.. Ma gruder
has made a statement of the conditions
prevailing in these camps that is exceed
ingly interes ing.
Speaking to a Star reporter today, DR..
Magruder commented on the fact that reg
iments at these camps were not spread
over enough ground, and that they were
too close together TO permit the best sani-
tary conditions
In statement published in the New
York World, Dr. Magruder says:
Camp Alger proper was located on
Campbell farm, tract of land near Falls
Church. Va, known as Woodburn Manor,
covering an area of l ,4G0 acres. Through
this tract several small streams, some
arising. others enlarged from springs upon
the property. Ordinarily they ran freely
until we'll into the summer. These were
promptly condemned for drinking purposes.
For the purpose of furnishing water to
the regiments on the Campbell farm twen-
ty-six artesian wells were sunk, varying
from AZ to 15S feet in depth, worked by
pumps, and supplying an abundance of
pure spring water. They We're driven
through beds of clay sometimes forty feet
in thickness, and underlying rock.
The Water Supply.
THE analyses made at the office of the
chemist of the surgeon generals depart
ment in Washington showed these wells
to be exceptionally free from organic mat
ter and in excellent condition. In addition
to the twenty-siX wells above mentioned,
nine artesian wells We're driven from IA to
100 feet in depth at the recently formed
camp on the Crittenden farm. While these
wells Were being driven several regiments
made temporary provision for water by
digging wells in the vicinity of their kitch-
ems and sinks. In the low portions water
was readily obtained at a depth of from
eight to twenty feet.
THE supply of water from the springs
and runs throughout the camp was greatly
diminished on account of the extraordinary
climatic condition that prevailed in the vi
cirity of Washington during the months of
April May, June and July, the temperature
for three of these months being in excess
of the mean and the rainfall more than
six inches below the normal. This is shown
in greater detail by the accompanying
memorandum obtained from the weather
bureau of the Department of Agriculture:

a full attendance of the members of tho

receipts were about 500 less than last wear
all OF the expenses, premiums, ETC., will he
