10 per cent of this resourceful area has

At last we reached a hamlet place of
adobe houses only. All the inhabitants
were gone But small patches Of ground,
here and there were planted with coffee, or
sugar cane or tobacco, just like the door

Played Poker with pills.

From the Chicago Journal.
SAN JUAN HILL, Near Santiago De
Cuba.-For the last week the boys Of the
1st Illinois have been fighting their worst
enemy-malarial fever. About a fortnight
ago the dread disease came upon our camp,
and since then almost every one has had
it. While most of the stricken are made
delrious, the effect never lasts more than
seven to nine days.
Malaria Hill" Chat is what we call our
camp is a beautiful place to look at. The
men play poker with quinne pills for chips.
The trouble is when a player gets chill
he eats a chip and runs the game short.
We have "Quinine Club" The object of
the club is TO show the weaker members
the fine properties of the drug. Malaria
HIP alone consumes about 500 to 2.OOO
pills daily-that is, LOCO 10 1000 grains-to
say nothing of other drugs. That ought to
be great help to the medicine manufac-
turing industry.
