AN UNEVENTFULDAY
In CAMP YEISER
The Routine Work Takes up
Most Of the Soldiers Time.
Yesterday Was Pay Day--Not Case
OF Serious Sickness i'm Camp
at Present.
MANY WITNESS DRESS PARADE

The day has been an uneventful
one at Camp Yeiser. The general rou-
tine is gone through with these days
with the system and regularity of a
regular camp. and the officers are
highly pleased. The weather is
ideal for camp life. and the work is
done with a spirit of enthusiasm.
The officers of the day are: Capt.
n. H. Denhardt, of company A, Off
Ger of the day; Lieut. Homer Jones,
company b, senior officer of the
guard; Lieut.. Riley, company f,
junior officer of the day
There is not a case of sickness in
the hospital. and DR.. Mccormack Is
very proud of the fact. One man was
overcome by the heat Monday bus Is
all right today, and another private
had slight attack of heart tro /
BILE. Aside from these, there was no
Illness reported.
The camp is about the healthiest
place in West Kentucky these daya
A tour of investigation will hardly
reveal any dirt OF any kind All the
garbage is promptly burned, and the
camp is an object lesson for the city,
from sanitary standpoint.
The general headquarters officers
and men are being paid off today by
Col. Mott Ayres, paymaster, and the
artillerymen will be ,,alu off Tues
day at Frankfort.
Col. Ayres paid off the regiment in
"A minutes Tuesday which is near
his record. The total amount of the
pay rolls was $1,000.
Capt. Longmire and the men he
took to Russellville. will probably
return to Frankfort Tuesday.
Companies c and d are at the rifle
range today.
Col. Gaines, Col. Ayres and Col
Tandy Will remain over after the
third regiment departs Saturday I'M
I'll Mondcy to attend the details of
camp breaking The wives of the
officers, with the exception of Mrs.
Mott .Ayres. Mrs. Henry and Mrs.
Tandy. returned to their homes yes
terday.
The Third regiment will be given
a dance at the pavilion by the young
society men tonight.
Mosquitoes are hard TO find in
the camp. When the camp was first
il swarmed with them,
and a general call was sent in for
nets. but after all the pools in the
were treated to a gen
erous supply of oil, most of the mos
quitoes were killed.
'"This is evidence" said DR.. Me
Cormack today. that the mosquito
can not fly very far, and if man
will remember this and take meas
ures to kill off the mosquitoes in his
vicinity, he will soon be free of them.
II is only a question of time when ev-
cry one will recognize and appreci-
ate the fact that the mosquito and |
the house fly are about as dangerous
things as can be tolerated and one |
of the greatest menaces to the health |
of a family, or community.
In this connection let me say |
one thing: We have captured over
800 mosquitoes in the camp and vi |
entity and have found only one of |
the stegomyia species-the yellow |
fever germs carriers. In Paris. KY,
has shown 10 per cent
of the mosquitoes are of that varie-
ty and in Bowling Green and other
Kentucky cities s per cent"
DR., Mccormack speaks highly of
the water supply of Paducah and de-
clares il is the best in Kentucky. He |
also speaks well of the health condi-
tions of the city. If you will only |
extend your sewerage system now,
there is no reason why Paducah !
