army to make the treatment obliga-
tory. When a maneuver camp was
established at san Antonio early In
March, all the officers and men there
were given the treatment and there
has been no typhoid in the maneuver
division.
According to reports received by
the medical bureau of the army the
health of the officers and men of the
division has been excellent During
May, the last month for which statis-
tics are available. the sick rate for
the camp was PA thousand. This
is considerably less than the rate for
the whole army in the year 1910
which was about 40 thousand.

ted This done. inter the head with
the face toward heaven. and every day
before sunrise for the space OF nine
days water il with excellent brandy.

cited spirit. who will say unto you:
What doest thouY You shall reply: !
am watering my plant. He will then
say: Give me that bottle; | will water

you will persist In declining until he
shall stretch forth his hand and show
you the same figure which you have
traced upon the head suspended from
the tips of his fingers. In this case
you may be assured that IL Is really
the spirit of the head, because another
might take you unawnres, which
would bring you evil. and. further,
your operation would be unfruitful

ESKIMO WlDOWERS.
Six Weeks Is the Limit They Will Wait
Before Remarryins.

Before Remarryins.
In civilization It is said that q wife
does not always add to her husbands
ease or render his life more supporta-
BILE, but up on the barren grounds the
worst OF wives would be better than
none.
There, among the heather tribes. If a
mans wife disappointed he is not
polygamist. In which case, says the
Wide World. there is less need for
hurry-he oftel marries again within
the week.
Even the Christian Eskimo widowers
are with difficulty persuaded by the
Moravian missionaries to allow six
weeks TO elapse between the death and
remarriage. On the very day after
the six weeks have lapsed the hunter
presents himself with new bride and
asks that the marriage service may he
speedily read.
The reason Is not far 10 seek. II Is
! said in civilization that "a woman's
work is never DONE" and far more Is
that true OF the belpmate of the saw
age and the semi-savage. the woman
OF the barren grounds or of the fec
| edge. She makes and breaks camp
cooks. cuts up and carries to camp hcl
husbands kill. She dresses the skin.
of deer and seal.
She Is responsible for the feshioninl
of footgear and clothes. On a journe,
she often paddles the canoe. and OF
portage she carries heavy load. Ii
fact, 1t is easier to write down the du
ties not expected of squaw thar
those which by immemorial custom
she must perform.

NEW INVENTIONS

Upon the theory that the metric sys-
tom can only Doc made popular i'm this
country by adopting its decimal plan
while changing the present names of
familiar weights and measures as lit
tie as possible, the following changes
have been suggested Let the yard be
made equal 90 the meter; let the foot
be made the fourth instead of the third
part OF a yard, and let it have 10 in
stead Of T. inches; let the pound be
made equal 90 half "a kilogram; let the
quart equal the liter; let the ton be
1000 Kilograms; let the pint, gallon.
peck and bushol be defined i'm terms
of the quart. Ia this way, it is point
ed out, the inch would be shortened
less than . per cent. but il is admit
cd that even this slight change would
inconvenience mechanical engineers
and machine manufacturers.
