ADVICE FOR SOLDIERS.
Hygienic Instructions For the Seventy
first Regiment Of New York.

Hygienic Instructions For the Seventy.
first Regiment Of New York.
That national guardsmen were going
to see service in Cuba was the general
opinion expressed the other evening
among the officers who heard of the
orders recently issued to all company
officers of the Seventy first regiment OF
New York in the shape Of instructions
as to life in tropical climate" AS
Colonel Greene, the Seventy first's com
mander, is known to be close to the war
department., IL is considered almost GER
tain that he believes that his regiment
Is to 60 TO Cuba and that he wishes TO
prepare the men for the climatic ordeal.
The hygienio instructions were recently
passed upon by the board of officers and
are worded as follows:
Do not drink water unless it has been
boiled, If In the least doubtful Do not
battle in water unless it has been boiled
Cook your food thoroughly. Avoid the
use of alcohol internally. Avoid being
out in the night air or dews. If this
cannot be avoided, wrap up carefully,
covering the face well. Avoid dam pness
at all times. Change your clothes the
moment they are wet or damp when
practicable Be moderate in eating; do
not eat heartily when tired or overhead
ed. AT the end of march bathe the
feet in boiled water, dry well and pow
der them with compound talcum pow
der or some foot powder. Never put on
stockings that are damp, or stockings at
any time when the feet are not thor
oughly dry. Do not eat fruit of any
Kind unless perfectly ripe, and do not
eat it at all in the summer. Before GO
ing out in the morning take three or
i've grains of quinine and cup of hot
coffee. This is imperative. Always
wear flannel band over the abdomen.
Change all your clothes every day when
practicable, especially stockings and
drawers. Avoid excuses Of all kinds.
Avoid exposure to the sun when posi-
BILE, and if exposed much keep a wet
handkerchief in your hat all the while
so exposed Be vaccinated. If possible,
carry lemon and sip when thirsty:

What War Means For Spain.

Probably few Americans are able to
realize what war with America will
doubtless mean to Spain. 1t means not
simply the loss of Cuba and perhaps
Puerto Rico also; il means not alone
overwhelming naval defeat and bank
ruptcy of the national treasury; it prob
ably means the downfall of the Bank of
Spain, the one great financial institution
OF the country, and with its fall the col
lapse of other banks and scores of cor.
porations-a general panic, stoppage of
industries, ruin for many thousands Of
well to do citizens, aud following in the
