Again, Major Appel can enforce Ypis
orders; military discipline compels ell
patients to do precisely as he directs.
In a word, Dr.. Appel can say, "Take
these pills or I'll put you under arrest"
Physicians who are in. private practice
or who r internes in non-military

that. o. F.. s'f,<- "sa' r. @i':. ..'' 81" -
And DR.. Appel has laid Down for his
patients a set of hygienfc rules that
common ems itself should enforce
without fear of the guard house. To
the foolish these rules may seem "vul-
gar" but the truly wise. will at once
appreciate their force against the in
lection of tuberculosis. Besides, these
rules can be advantageously followed
by every consumptive wherever he is.
The rules are conspicuously posted
throughout the recreation rooms and
dormitories:
Consumption is an infectious dis
ease, caused by a germ which is found
in the saliva, therefore the saliva must
be carefully destroyed. Should it be
allowed to dry, and in the form of dust
float around in the air, millions of
these germs would be set free and
would endanger not only those who
are well, but would often reinfect
those who are sick, and thus undo the
benefit derived from months of care.

climate you must live outdoors as

Major Appel was graduated about
twenty years ago from one of the best
medical schools In this country-Jef.

He receives his pay as a medical officer
Of the Army; he has nc axes to grind

Fort Bayard DR.. Appel has officially
reported over his signature:
This is strictly a military hospital,
and our treatment is similar to that
of all well regulated s%anitoria. Our
success is due to the excellent climate
and the discipline enforced"
DR.. Appel said to the writer for the
New York Sunday. World Magazine a
few days ago:
Il don't mean to say that IL people
come to us with lungs SO far gone as
to destroy their breathing power we
can cure them. But I do say that we
can cure what has long been regarded
as hopeless, the third stage of the
disease.
II have never made that statement
publicly before. / haven't been ready
to make it.
we have been working for these re
suits since the establishment Of the
sanitarium three years ago, and we
have been doing a great deal Of orig
inal investigation in the treatment of
tuberculosis. Our best hopes have been
realized, and now you may inform the
public that under the conditions which
prevail in this territory, the dread dis
ease has been robbed of its terrors."

At o meeting Of Hope Hook and
Ladder Go. No. i, held on July 9,
1901, the town was divided into Fire
Districts and a Code of Signals was
adopted in order to facilitate tho loca-

was divided as follows:
District No. ALL that portion Of

and east by corporation line.

Remarkable evidence of the need for
jamestown tercentenary anniyer-
sary, says the Norfolk Landmark, is
furnished by the ignorance of most
Americans with regard to the status Of
Jamestown itself. This cradle Of the
nation, as all Virginians know, is no
longer inhabited by any person except
those who keep guard over the ruins
there. jamestown is nothing but a
name and a remnant. If it were pot
for the care with which the Society for
the Preservation of Virginia Antiqui-
ties preserves the old walls and other
relies, not a trace of the famous town,
we dare say, would be left.

DO not help yourself tor food from

Each patient is provided with a cup,
consisting of a tin frame with a spring
cover, In which is placed. an impervious
paper receptacle, and large covered
spittoons with paper receptacles are
scattered throughout the rooms and
porches frequented by the patients. A
shelf Is fitted under each chair in the
dining room, on which the. cup is
placed during meals. The cups and

Abundant, good and nutritious food

Several patients have gained more than
