1t doesn't take much looking about to
see that soldering in the Philippines does
drive men mad. There's no question
about that. The only question is:
Why do they go mad?
And there's not much mystery about
that.
Inc physicians who have ministered
to them can tell, and-for physicians
they are curiously unanimous in opin-
ion.
Their reason is a very simple one:. The
country isn't a white mans countryl
DR.. William G. Shiels. who spent an ac-

Philippines, who was with the soldiers
under all conditions, who knows@ the
hardships and emergencies of the tropical

The Suedilla nature of the warfare does
not permit the soldier to choose his time
for action or to take a siesta in the mid
die of the day-as the civilian can. Not
lnfrequently his greatest activity comes
IN the hottest part of the day. Then
the fierce, direct heat from the sun and
the humidity causes congestion of the
membranes surrounding the brain, pro-
ducing the prostration known as heat
stroke.

Philippines drives men mad. In the
in the years 1898 ana 1899 there were 5S2
soldiers killed in action in the Philip

soldiers went insane.
Curious figures
The soldier rather expects a bullet. To

spring there were 25 quarter-sections of
land vacant and to-day there is not one;
I can stand at my house and count 10
houses where there was not one last
spring, with six more to go up this
spring. This is only sample of what
is going on all round. We intend to
build church next summer, right
close to my place, so we will be strict
ly in line. 1t would have amused you
to have been here last spring. There
were crowds of land-seekers, and some
times in the spring the prairie is not
very inviting, and of course lots were
disconnected. There was one in the
crowd who jumped on me for putting
a letter in the paper, only for which he
never would have come here, and he
was very hostile, but eventually he got
place, and to-day claims he would not
