WATER SUPPLY OF
FIRST IMPORTANCE.
Jap Army Recognized Fact and
Saved Thousands of Liyes-OtheY
Nations Following Example Set.

The fact is unhappily notorious that
I'm war disease claims more victims
than does shot, shell or cold steel.
Again. IL is equally matter of gen.
eral knowledge that typhoid fever.
chiefly caused by impure drinking wa
ter, is the most common complaint to
which the soldier in the field is sub
ject.
1t is allowed OH all hands that with
rigid care of the water supply, with
the earnest cooperation of the man
in the ranks himself. the occurrence
and prevalence of typhoid fever among
armies in the field might be so de-
creased as to become almost Il uegii-
gible quantity. The medical depart
ment of the Japanese army. during the
war just ended, has given to the civil
lied world an instructive object lesson
with regard to the organization and
management of sanitary affairs during
a campaign.
According 10 all accounts from the
front in the far East, disease in the
Japanese army has been conspicuous
principally by its absence. After all
due allowance has been made for the
extremely strict censorship. which is
so prominent n feature of Japanese
army organization. the conclusion cam
not but be reached that the occurrence
of disease among the troops has been
small, for if any devastating epidem-
les had occurred it would have been
impossible entirely to conceal such
facts.
1t must be granted. then, that the
Japanese have partially, if not alto
gether successfully, solved problem
which has so long bafiled the army san
itarians of modern Europe and of
America. by what means have been
effected this great work, and revolu-
tionized 10 great extent the course
of war? Simply by the extreme care
which their army medical department
has paid to the soldiers water sup
ply. -"
1t is in the subsection of the Japan
csc private 10 orders. and the strict
discipline which prevails throughout
the army, that the procedure adopted
to safeguard the water supply has
been rendered possible of accomplish
ment.
The result. however. OF Japanese
methods to prevent disease in the field
have been so markedly successful that
other armies have been stirred to copy,
as far as is possible. their preventive
measures. For example. the British
Army Service Corps has been conduct

Mrs. Anna Potts

Frequent bacltache and distressing
pains, accompanied by offensive dis
charges and generally by irregular
and scanty menstruation indicate dis
placement or nerve degeneration Of
the womb and surrounding organs.
The question that troubles women
Is how can n WOMAN who has some fe-
male trouble bear healthy children?
Mrs. Anna Potts, of $40 Park Avenue,
Hot Springs, Ark. writes:
My Dear Mrs Pirkham:-
"During the cary part of my married life
was delicate in health both my husband and
were very anxious for child to bless our
home, but had two miscarriages, and could
not carry q child to maturity. A neighbor
who had been cured by Lydia E. Pinkhams
Vegetable Compound advised me to try it. I
did so and soon felt that / was growing
stronger, my headaches and backaches left
me, Ihad no more bearing down pains, and
felt like new woman. Within year
became the mother Of strong, healthy
child, the joy of our home. Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound is certainly a
splendid remedy, and / wish every woman
who wants to become mother would try it. y

The Government whltevash.

The necessity of using whitewash
about the farm and stable renders a
good formula for making it very i'm
portant
A whitewash good enough to be used
at the White House and durable
enough to pay fer putting it on GER
tainly should have many uses about the
farm. There is nothing cheaper for
Frightening up and protecting from
weather old buildings and fence posts;
nothing 50 effectual in cleansing and
publication.
Many of the cheap whitewashes
scarcely last long enough to pay for
putting them on, especially for outside
work.
The following popularity known as
the "governm formula" has been
used for many years on the govern
ment buildings, and letter from Gen.
Grant to a friend gives it as here
quoted, highly endorsing its efficiency;
"Half bushel of unslacked lime.
slack with warm water. cover it during
the process to keep the stem; strain
the liquid through a fine seive or
strainer; add a peck of salt previously
well Dissolved in warm water, three
pounds OF ground rice boiled to a thin
paste and stir in boiling hot; half
pound of powdered Spanish whiting
and a pound of glue which has been
previously Dissolved over a slow fire,
and add five gallons of hot water to the
mixture: stir well and let stand for
few days, cover up from the dirt.
"It should be put on hot One pint
of mixture will cover a square yard,
properly applied. There is nothing
that can com pare with it for outside or
inside work, and it retains its
brilliancy for many years. Coloring
matter may be put in and made of any
shade. Spanish brown, yellow ochre,
or common clay"
This is unquestionably the most du-
rable formula known. Cut out this
recipe or preserve this paper for future
use. 1t will pay you to do so.
