Crowd Gathered About Grave.

"All day long the wild carnival con-
the really important part came AS tho
moon shOne down on the village Very
one congregated round the grave of the
king. Seated on an upturned jar was
the eldest son, and in his hand he held
a pure white chicken. The second and
third sons each made long speeches. in
which they both declared their intention
of ruling like their father. and following
this number of friends of the dead
chief stepped forward and whispered
messages to the chicken. which it was to
take to the buried monarch. When all
the messages had been given in a very
impressive way the three sons raised
their voices and called the name of their
father; the one who held the chicken
the body on the grave. After some f1ut-
tering the chicken fell on its side and
died.
The natives hold that if the chicken
dies with its feet in the air the relative
who killed 1t has been true to the tribe.
and has had no society scandal The
population were not pleased at the result
Of the first chicken. so the other two sons
also went through the ceremony. In both
cases the chicken fell down and died on
its side Other relatives We're called but
every time the chicken refused to die
on its back, and at last they left the
matter at that stage. All the family. in
cluding the children and the chiefs wives
sat round the grave and talked to his
spirit and ate rice and promised to be
peaceable. The three sons sat silent and
remained there all night. We left the
village the following day. though ere
were other ceremonies to be seen. but

laboratories in all the principal cities of

in lowering the death rate to any SUBJ

cheesapeake and Ohio railway, was sent
for by the surgeon general of the Con-
federate army and told that smallpox
had reached such alarming proportions
that something must be done to check it.
else the Confederacy would fall before
the disease and not at the hands of the
opposing armies. He said he wanted
virus enough secured to vaccinate 25c.
GO men. So a house-to-house canvass
was made of the city of Richmond, and
every healthy child of healthy parents
was vaccinated in six places on each
arm. Not single mother in the city
refused to have her children vaccinated
when told that it was to provide virus
for vaccinating the army. On the four
teenth day the crusts were collected,
twelve from every child. wrapped in tin
foil and distributed throughout the army,
and the threatened epidemic was thus
a single untoward case developed among
the children.
Military and naval authorities are the

every kind of prophylactic measures for
the maintenance Of health on large

compel the men under them to utilize
those measures when once they have

hero of war was no less hero of peace,
and lives were willingly offered for ex-

been written in the armies of Europe and
America, and the private who willingly
would die for his country would as

Efforts Toward
Restricting Malaria.


this disease was responsible for the ener-
walton OF the armies of Greece and OF
Rome and the consequent decline of those
two great nations. In point Of fatality
malaria is not such serious affiictiOn,
but it SO lowers the resistance to other
diseases which are highly fatal that it is
being fought strenuously in the armies of
the leading nations. A striking illustra-
ton of what may be done in that direc-
ton is afforded by an experience of the
naval station at Olongapo, Philippine
Islands. 1t was decided that the swampy
land around the station should be filled
in and that the ground should be cleared
so that the mosquitoes could find mot
where to set the soles of their feet with
! in 200 yards of the station. A second
, line of precautionary measures came in
the shape of thoroughly screened quar-
2214 days of sickness from malaria dur
ing the first quarter of one year, there
were less than 200 during the correspond
ing quarter Of the following year.
With the improved apparatus for sani-
tation in the field, such as incinerators,
where all human and organic wastes are
burned: with protected watea supplies
and with carefully inspected food sup
plies, the health of men in armies today
is better than that of similar individuals
outside the service. The regulation OF
the diet of the soldier and the sailor has
now given them a balanced ration, and
one that tends to keep their bodies in
physical trim.

of what has been done and can be done.
Under the direction of DIR. Bailey *.
Ashford, an unrelenting campaign against
hookWorm disease has been waged there,
and more than 100000 souls have been re-
leased from a living death. With the
power there to say to the people that
they must do certain things for the pro-
lection of the health of themselves and
of their neighbors, the island has been
practically freed from smallpox. the sick
rate from all disease has been cut down
to a remarkable extent. and the death
rate has fallen off so rapidly as to put
to shame many progressive communities
at home.
The American army cleaned up Cuba in
a way that probably rendered the Cubans
greater service than the freedom it
secured for them. The English, the Ger
man and the French armies have done
much for disease-ridden communities in
Africa. Perhaps the hardest problem any
nation has In the way OF military SANTA
