OPINION OF DR.. SEAMAN
PRIZE OFFERED TO LAYMEN

NEW YORK, September 1s.-Dr. Louis
Livingston Seaman. one Of the American
delegates to the recent international med
ical congress at Budapest. arrived today
on the steamer Campania from Liverpool
and spoke enthusiastically Of the show
ing made there by America and the sue
cess Of the congress.
The Americans are far ahead of other
nations in many branches of surgery and
medicine said DR.. Seaman. as shown
by the testimony and exhibits Of the con-
gress. This is particularly so in the case
Of appendicitis. where we excel both in
the treatment Of the disease and the tech
nique Of the operation
Speaking generally, DR.. Seaman said it
was the height of insanity for Americans
to go abroad for treatment by foreign
at home who could walk all around the
European medical men.
Military Sanitation.
In regard to military sanitation a
subject in which DR.. Seaman has been
particularly interested for many years,
the physician said it had been a subject
of lively discussion at the congress. Dr.
Seaman offered a prize Of $500 for lay
men, medical men or members of the
armies Of the world for the best essay on
the subject What Should Be the Organ
ization of the Medical Department of An
Army in Order That Its Sanitary and Hy-
gienic Condition May Be Maintained At
the Highest Efficiency, SO That in the
Emergency of Battle Its Unity May Best
Respond to the Call of Its Leaders,
The essays are to be submitted to the
next international congress. which meets
in London in 1912.
DR.. Seaman said he had studied the
subject lat the 'front.'" and in active serv-
ice during all the wars of recent years,
and found an alarming condition as the
result Of inefficient medical service in the
armies.
Disease Versus Bullets.
In the South African war, twelve men
died of disease to one by bullets, he said
and statistics in the Spanish-American
war, and other sanguinary struggles be-
tweer the nations. showed a worse con-
dition. There were 25S,OOO hospital cases
out Of 272.OOO enlisted men in the three
months war with Spain. he said.
DR.. Seaman said he had found the most
efficient sanitary conditions in the JAP
anese army.
The Japanese have what is not known
in any other army in the world, the san
itary soldier whose duty Is it to devote
all his time to maintaining and improving
the health Of the soldiers. said DIR. Sea-
man. There are 1900 sanitary soldiers
in the Japanese army, and as result
the standard of health Is almost perfect"

cREOSOTlNG FENCEPOSTS.
An Experiment by the United States
Forestry Service.

An investigation i'm the preventative
treatment of fenceposts conducted by
the United States forest service In CO.
operation with the University Of Min
nesota has recently been completed.
There are many agricultural sections
OF that state where much of the land
is unfenced. and In such localities IL Is
difficult to obtain good posts. since the
only common trees are willow and cot.
tonwood. and these do not make dur,
able posts i'm their natural condition.
The need for Information on the best
method Of preserving fencSnosts IN
that region or elsewhere. thS cfore. is
urged by the department Of sgricul-
ture.
Much land now lying idle Is well
adapted for pasturage were II fenced
1t is evident that the securing Of n
durable and comparatively cheap post
would give great impetus to the work
Of fencing and would result I'm the
more intensive utilization OF the land
1t is believed that creosoting of the
native woods will provide such post.
Considerable data on the best treat
ment for each of number of different
species was obtained by these expert
ments, and the feasibility OF creosot-
Ing posts was clearly demonstrated
Detailed advice on the work will be
given TO all who request 1t of the for
est service at Washington.
AS result OF the interest aroused
by this work there has been formed I'm
one locality an association OF about
twenty-five farmers for the purpose OF
creosoting their fenceposts. Through
such an organization the preventative
treatments can be more cheaply ac-
complished than by individual farmers
because of the saving In the initial
cost OF the apparatus and the cost OF
the creosote. If the plan proves feast
BILE other associations will doubtless
be formed.

rods and sharpened like the fiat end
OF pickax. a wheel is set under the
front end to steady the movement and
is braced backward. An adjustable
