HEALTH SERVICE BILL
AGREED TO BY SENATE
Salaries of Officers Increased
and Duties Added to
Through Measure.

The Senate today agreed to a bill.
already passed by the House, changing
the name of the public health and
marine hospital service to public
health service, charging it's powers
and increasing the salaries Of it's off,
GERS
The bill. as now agreed to by both
houses Of Congress. specifies that "the
public health service may study and
investigate the disease of man and
conditions influencing the propagation
and spread thereof, including santa
ton and sewage and the pollution
either directly or indirectly of the nav
igable streams and lakes of the United
States. and it may from time to time Is
sue information in the form Of publ
cations for the use Of the public" This
is, of course. in addition to the pres
ent duties of the service.
In the brief discussion of the bill be-
fore it was agreed to in the Senate today,
Senator Works predicted that it would re-
suit practically in meeting the good OBJ
jects which were aimed at by Senator
Owens bill for the creation of a depart
ment or bureau Of public health.
Senator Owens Plan.
head of the public health service sit as
a member of the Presidents cabinet, but
the Senate committee on public health
recommended the amendment of the
Owen bill so that 1t would provide for a
bureau instead of department. The
Owen bill has met with much opposition,
particularly on the part of Christian
Scientists, heaers and others who combat
diseases by other than the old-school
methods. The bill passed today has not
met with the same opposition. and it is
thought to he a happy compromise through
which many of the results aimed at by
the other bill will be accomplished.
The bill provides. as to salaries in
the reorganized public health service.
as follows:
Surgeon general $4,000; assistant
surgeon general, $4,000; senior sur
geon, in which grade there shall be
ten IN number on active duty, $500;
surgeon. $4,000; passed assistant sur
geon. $1,000; assistant surgeon, $4,000,
and the said officers. excepting the sur
geon general. shall receive an addi-
tional compensation Of 10 per cent of
the annual salary as above set forth
for each five years service, but not to
exceed in all 40 per cent: Provided.
that the total salary. including lon
gevity increase, shall not exceed the
following rate: Assistant surgeon gen.
eral, $4,000: senior surgeon, $4,000;
surgeon, $4,000"

OFFICERS ARE HAPPY
National Guard Equipment
Finally Started on Way.
ALL ENTRAIN TOMORROW
Washington's Soldier Boys Will Go
Into Camp During the
Afternoon.

Maj. Alfred P. Robbins. quartermaster.
NJ. G. D. c., and Lieut. William Duvall.
superintendent of the National Guard
Armory, raised their eyes skyward today
and gave thanks that the trainload Of
baggage and tentage had sped on it's way
to the camp site at Bolivar Heights, w.
Va. The first big job incidental to the
two weeks encampment of the National
Guard of the District of Columbia has
been completed. The books are closed
and no one can draw supplies on memo
randum or any other way. Today is a
breathing space and tomorrow the COM
panies will entrain at the railroad yards
at New York avenue and Florida avenue.
Will Leave at O'Clock.
The first section of the train is schedul-
ed to leave at o'clock am. tomorrow
and the brown conical tents ought to be
raised in company streets fairly early in
the afternoon. Camp kitchens ought to
be hot under the smoky influence of a
wood fire by supper time, and the de-
spised Kitchen details" ought to be
peeling potatoes by 4:3O tomorrow after
noon.
Many recruits will lie down tomorrow
night on a hard army cot for the first
time and wonder how it is the human
frame can hold so many sore spots.
The first night on an army cot Tor a.
new man is one never to be forgotten,
for it is handed to him just after the
novel experience Of tent-raising and other
muscle-tiring duties of soldier in the
field. BY the time the regimental bugler
swells his cheeks and bulges out his eyes
in taps" the rocky is SO tired and so
sore that he scarcely can keep his eyes
open.
Skylarking Not Probable.
There will be none of the foolish sky
larking tomorrow night. The men will be
tired. Early on Thursday morning re-
veille will be blown, and out of the con-
ical tents sleepy soldiers will tumble to
take turn at the water spout, and that
will really be the first Of the camp in
struction. After that the drills will start.
and for two weeks 800 Washingtonians
will be endeavoring to put themselves
into the condition of actual soldiers.

DIR. Murray has compiled list of ef-
fective fly poisons that may be used. He
recommends the employment also OF sticky
fly paper and SWEATERS" If any of the
exterminating devices generally recon-
mended are used extensively next month
in places where flies congregate the re-
suit, he says. will be that a much reduced
fly population will be left to survive the
winter months and bring on next sea

one OF the poisons recommended calls
for a mixture of one-half pint each OF
milk and water and two tablespoons OF
formaldehyde. This is said to be an I'M

Experiments have shown that more than
5000 flies have been poisoned by a

1t is doubtful, however. if there is any
more effective means of destroying flies
in the fall than sticky fly paper. This
method is the one in most popular use
and the health officials recommend il.
