been case Of blood-poison (even syph-

regularly to keep their blood healthy

HEALTH OF TROOPS
In Texas Is Causing Much
Comment.
fNationai News Association

San Antonio, Tex, June 1a.-The
health of the soldiers in the concentra-
tion camp near this city has caused
much comment among medical men
and emphasizes the fact that health
conditions in camp life have been very
much improved since the concentra-
ton during the Spanish American war
near Chattanooga, Tennessee. At
that time, hundreds of soldiers died of
typhoid fever. in fact, the disease be-
came so alarming that the govern
ment sent medical commission there
to ascertain the cause. After investi-
| eating. it was found that the flies
which infected the district where garb-
| age was dumped during other hours of
| the day were on the tables and the
| food of the men at meal time. From
| this it was definitely learned that
the fly is dissemination of typhoid
fever germs. To guard against a repi-
tition of a typhoid epidemic, the gov
eminent took two precautions when
the soldiers were modified near this
city. The first of these was a perfect
|
kitchens, clean streets, in fact cleanli-
ness in everything. The second pre-
caution was the vaccination of all the
men against typhoid. As the result Of
this, not one soldier has gone down
with typhoid fever and a greater por-
ton of the time, the camp hospitals
have been empty. While it has been
demonstrated that perfect sanitation
and vaccination are sure preventa.
tives of typhoid, the American army
is the only collection of men in the
country where these two rules can be
absolutely enforced. With the health
of the soldiers as an example, proving
beyond doubt that typhoid and kind.
red diseases can be prevented and men
kept in the best of health all the time,
there is not a community in the coun.
try where similar rules could be SC
rigidly enforced. We free born Ameri.
cans strut around and boast of our
freedom and a number of US stand
directly in the way of what scientific
( progress that insures healthful condi
tions, longer life, and more intense en-.
joyment. II the mobilization of the
army near this place has done nothing
else it is worth the money it has cost
in proving to the world that by proper
care men can be kept in perfectly
healthy condition.
