Says Prof Schwab:
"Probably the best thing that Mr.

ductively. If that is out % the question.

SANITARY LESSONS OF THE WAR"

The address of Surgeon General
.Sternberg, of the United States army,
before the American Medical Associa
ton. mt Columbus, Ohio, yesterday, is
notable in several particulars. After the
statement that AS Il rule more soldiers
die of disease than are killed in battle,
Surgeon Sternberg gives the following
comparative figures:
'Ihe total number of deaths reported
in our enlarged army, including regl-
lars and volunteers, from May /, 1898,
to April so, 1899, is 6,406. OF these
J.43S died of disease and 96S were kill
ed in battle or died of wounds, injuries
or accident. During the civil war the
number of deaths from disease was
1S6.216. The number who were killed
i'm battle or died of wounds was %, 1863,
or about one-half of the deaths from
disease. The total deaths from disease
in the Union armies from the com
mencement of the war to the 31st of
December, 1867, was 34,326, and in the
Confederate armies during the SAINT
period, 31,23S."
This is fiie doctrine Sof Self-reiant
fact that, despite the phenomenal add
vance i'm sanitary science and in the
knowledge OF the laws of hygiene since
the civil war; it appears that i'll the war
with Spain Sc times as many men died
of disease as We're killed in battle. while
in the civil war only 10 times as many
men died of disease as We're killed in
battle. TO put it differently the ratio
of deaths from. disease was three times
as large is the Spanish as in the civil
war. After all due allowance is made
for the fact that in the civil war much
larger percentage of soldiers We're eX
posed to the hazards of battle, there
must remain Il residlary discrepancy
that is notvexplained away by the subse-
quent conclusions of Surgeon Sternberg.
That this is true will appear from the
comparative table of monthly death
rates given by the speaker:

THAT CIVIL SERVICE ORDER.

1t begins to appear that air. Mckinley
not only misjudsed the effect IBIS reg, al;
onslaught on the civil service re@u'a-
tions would produce on The minds Of his
countrymea, but that lie a;So failed tc
grasp the true reach and scope c; his
concessions to the clamorouS si,o,.slntn.
The Washington correspondent OF The
Chicago Tribune has made careful
number of places exempted from the
civil service regulations and has tahG-
lated them as follows:
The news & observer. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1894-current, 1899-06-09
1S61-'62. 1S9S-'99.
Months

From this it appears that while the
largest ratio of deaths per 1000 from
disease in 1S61-'62 was 40, the maxi
mum ratio of deaths per 1000 from dis
ease in September, 1885, 80, reached
$50.
Just at this time the agitation as to
the quality of the army food supplies
and the condition of camps was going
on and we find that from this maxi
mum there was an amazing drop iii the
death rate for succeeding months until
in April of 1899 it was little more than
half of that of May, 1861. The con
plain to need pointing out
From these figures Surgeon Sternberg
says three lessons are to be learned:
That the trained medical corps of the
army was inadequate in numbers and
that physicians from civil life, however
eminent, are not qualified to supervise
the sanitation of camps.
New levies of troops are ignorant of
the principles of camp sanitation and
reckless of the consequences.
That hereafter Il larger corps of
trained army medical officers is neces-
Sary. and national guard medical Off
GERS must be instructed i'll the principles
of camp sanitation.
Admitting the validity of all Surgeon
Sternberg says, the layman will rot I'M
derstand why all these are not equally
legitimate lessons of the civil war and
will Ire apt to add in explanation of the
increased death ratio per 1000 another
lesson to the three of Surgeon Stern
berg: In times of war it Is absolutely
necessary to have war and comm1ssary
departments with which the health of
the. troops and not the profits or meat
packers is the supreme consideration.

DEATH OF A PROMINENT NORTH
 HAVEN RESIDENT

Grand Juror F. Hayden Todd, prom inent and much esteemed resident and representative citizen of North Haven,
 died suddenly at his home near North Haven Center between and 10 o'clock
 Monday night.
 During the day MT. Todd had been at
 the town hal! with the selectmen at tending to duties relating to the town offices which he held. He came home to supper and seemed to be feeling in his usual good spirits.
 Shortly after o'clock Mrs Todd who was with her husband, said that she thought she would retire for the night. She vert upstairs and had been there but short time when she heard a noise downstairs as though something had fallen. She went down and found her husband lying pro5trate on the floor. She spoke to him and he did not answer. and it was soon found that he had ex- pired.
 MT Todd was about seventy years of age and had lived in North Haven all his life. His father was the late Orrin Todd, who died about twelve years ago.
 Mr Todd married and settled down on the farm in North Haven. Twenty three years ago he was elected grand juror, town treasurer and school fund treasurer. He served in these positions so well that he had been reelected con- tinuously to the offices.
 At the recent caucus at which he was renominated MT. Todd said that he had thought that he would resign when he had been in office twenty years, but he had made up his mind that if the citi- zens desired him to serve he would do so as long as he was able. He was again unanimously chosen and again elected.
 A number of years ago MT. Todd rep resented the town in the legislature. He was also a member of the North Haven grange. He was prominent member of the North Haven Congregational church and a member of the standing committee. He leaves, besides his wid ow, three sons-George, foreman at the Shares Brick company; John, engineer at the Stiles Brick company, and Will liam H., who resides at home, assisting in the management of the farm. MT. Todd's brother, Henry Todd, is first se- lectman of the town.
 MT Todd died of heart disease. He had been afflicted with this trouble for some time, but has been nevertheless very active.
