 Instead of plain water medicated water must be taken. This is boiled water with a drop of acid in it. Boil the water, let 1t cool and squeeze in adash of lemon, orange or other tart fruit. It Is not necessary to add over three drops. Only just enough to give acidity to the water. At first this warm water will be unbearable, but iH a few days 1t will taste as good as ice water.
 No soldier during the rainy season in Cuba can eat heavy breakfast and march after it. He must eat lightly and often. It will also be necessary to take a siesta after lunch. Even the rough and tumble insur- gents do this and they are men who fight to the deaeth. They find it necessary to sleep two hours in the afternoon, even though they march at night.
 If the night be very misty or the air green in vapor it Is a good thing to sleep with handkerchief wet with some anti septic over the mouth. This is, however, an extreme bit of precauton which it is not expected the soldier boys will follow. The officers do 1t, and they come home alive when the soldier dies swamp death.
 So important are these directions that Sister Maria Michal, of the National Finer gency association, prepared a. number of prescriptions for the relief of those who

sickness to the person who takes it. The water is polluted with all the malaria of the soil and typhoid and cholera are in every drop, not to mention typhus and other harmful influences.
 When the boys in brown reach Cuba the Red Cross nurses will give them the mate- rial for taking bath. It eonsits of little tablet which is to be dissolved in water. It makes the water medicinal. The tablet is an insignificant little thing and one nurse carries enough to supply 300 soldiers with water for a bath.
 The question of diet comes up next. The boy in brown after he comes out of the water is hungry, and he sees plenty of good

l the soldier must abstain from everything except coffee and bread if he is going to keep his health. The bread is the hard army bread and the coffee may be only a supply of the ships coffee, but he must be contented with it, otherwise he will cer- tainly be i'll.
 The second day he can look around and take further chance, but let him only eat that to which he is accustomed-canned goods, potatoes, dried fish, crackers and such simple food as he has seen upon his avn table every day at home are the only ones which he must venture upon. He may the next day take a very little fruit, not more than one orange or two figs. The next day he can increase the quantity. of fruit a little and the next day he can eat still more Within week he will be abls to take anything that comes within his reach, without harm.
 The matter of keeping cool and keeping warm will worry him considerably The days are scorching hot and he finds that the government uniforms of linen and can vas suit him admirably He wears his thin clothes all day and at night he sleeps in them. Toward morning he feeles little chilly, and then the first symptoms of

 Woolen is not healthy. It keeps the pores open and irritates the skin He is in country now that Is warm and the motion keeps the pores open and they secret the .of5 T4 xt.- ---, baths and massage. During the rainy sea son the Cuban insurgents make it rule to bathe as light as possible and then never in cold water. This is owing to the fact that rubbing opens the pores and hot water also causes them to expand. The pores must be kept closed even at the risk of forcing the internal organs to throw off the poisons usually repelled by the skin The skin, of course, has its functions, sbut in Cuba during the rainy season 1t is best to lete the skin lie as dormant as possible.
 Shoes trouble the soldier boy shortly af- ter his arrival He finds that his feet are swollen and that his shoes are painful He has not been accustomed to being on his feet so much, nor is he used to the damp- ness and mud of the wet ground. To use his shoes let him soak them In cold water until they are thorouBniy wet, then let nm put them on and march in them until they are dry upon his feet. He will not take cold on the march. When the shoes have dried they will have formed themselves to 1 the feet and will be entirely comfortable. Water is something the soldier boy must not drink This he must put down in his l notebook as an absolute rule.

 The records of the civil war show that nearly twice as many soldiers of the north died from diseases as were killed in battle and died of wounds.
