HOW TO AVOID YELLOW FEVER.
IF SOLDIERS COOK THEIR FOOD AND BOIL THEIR
WATER THEY WILL DE IMMUNE.

Chicago March 1.-THE Government has only TO
issue order to the troops TO cook your food and
boil your drinking water TO render the whole
American Army immune from yellow fever. accord
ing to Professor Edwin Kicks. of the Rush Medi-
ca College. cCcount of who's" discovery OF yell
low-icVer germs was published a fortnight ago.
Inc spanish soldiers in Cuba, among whom the
mortality from yellow fever has been great. have
eaten and drunk cooked ana uncooked food and
water unfortunately. II Is Professor Kicks
theory that If the simple prccauton OF boiling and
cooking had been followed. the army would have
been practically immune from the disease
In the event Ct war with Spain. the American
troops sent TO Cuba would be forced to depend
largely on food canned in the United States, which
would essen the danger considerably. II Is Pro-
lessor l\lekss belief that the familiar Injunction OF
the Chicago Health Department boil the water
would complete the safety OF the troops from the
disease whose ravagcs are more to be dreaded than
Spanish hullets.
