PRACTICAL HEALTH HINT.
Treatment Of Fever.


Only the most general rules
can be laid down regarding the
measures to be adopted in the
treatment of cases of fever. A
rule which is of very general ap-
plication and which represents
a medical practice Of great an
tquity, is that Of administering
at the commencement Of fever
symptoms a saline aperient. A
dose of sulphate Of magnesia or
sulphate Of soda, will serve to
clear the system and assist in
reducing the temperature. 9th
erwise dose of calomel-say,
two or three grains-will attain
the same end.
Where it is desirable to re-
duce the fever temperature AGO.
mite may be employed. Fifteen
drops Of the tincture of aconite
are mixed with two ounces Of
water, and a teaspoonful of this
mixture, but no more, may be
administered every quarter of
an hour for the first hour and
once an hour afterward for three
or four hours, by which time the
temperature should be visibly
affected toward its lowering. BY
way Of Fastening the develop
ment Of the fever, in simple
cases, tepid bath or mustard
bath, the feet being placed in
mustard and hot water, may as

fantry into mounted infantry, the de-
sideratum being greater mobility, but
the change involved was a slow and
trying one and led to the great protrac-
ton Of the campaign. The United
States would have to meet the same
problem before it could hope for sue
cess, but the British infantryman at
least knew how to handle his rifle.
The American militiaman and volun-
teer would have to be taught even
that.

TYPICAL MEXICAN SOLDIERS.
handing that before he would treat
with the invader for his own good
there would have to be a complete
evacuation. Naturally to this the
United States government could not
consent. Interminable guerrilla war
fare would be the consequence.
An Unpleasant Picture.
With bases established at Vera Cruz,
the City Of Mexico and Tampico, mil
itary operations in the republic would
be less difficult But before the coun-
try could be swept clean Of rowing
guerrillas and order established the
American army would have to be great
ly augmented. Nothing short of $780,
600 men would be needed for this
work, entailing an expenditure of at
least 100000 per day, or 1882, 500, 900
in year.
The claim made now and then that
it would take from ten to fifteen years
to subdue Mexico is very extravagant,
of course. Yet the task might stretch
| over three to four years easily enough.
This is hardly bright picture, but
| it is the best that can be given Of the
subject. Probably the cost Of pacifi-
cation would be not a cent less than
$500 100000. and casualties could not
be expected to number less than $4,000
men killed and invaded.
Those who may have been unable to
understand the inaction of the govern
ment can rest assured that the magni-
tude Of the paci1cation Of Mexico is
fully appreciated by the war depart
ment. Intervention in Mexico might
become retreat or job badly done.

that the American army would fight
uphill from the moment it set foot on
Mexican soil and that every military
crest would be point of vantage for
the Mexicans. Most of the fighting
would occur in the defiles between the
escarpment walls. With fanatical
Mexican soldiery holding the heights,
this would become bloody work in
deed.
The diversion movement upon Tam
picO would have little value, except it
sustained an invasion across the lower
courses of the Rio Grande Strate-
gically Tampico is hardly on the
map, and the American military sphere
to be established there would extend
to the north rather than to the west
and south. The country's topography
determines that
But with Mexico City taken and with
the territory toward the coast cleared
the pacifcation Of Mexico would not
yet have commenced. To all intents
and purposes that part Of the republic
is as tranquil today as it ever has
OCCA VI pAoU1O4y SSSA Will Uc
Capture of Capital.
To what extent would the taking Of
the capital influence the Mexicans is
now the question to be considered. To
be sure, when the Germans had taken
Paris in 1871 the backbone Of all re-
sistance had been broken. There are
many instances of this sort Of history,
but in this respect the City Of Mexico
means so little to the Mexicans that
such result could not be hoped for.
The pacifcation Of Mexico-for that
could be the only reasonable objective
Of intervention-would have to be car
ried into the most remote parts of the
republic. In that would lie the diff
Guilty.
There is the hope, of course, that the
saner element Of Mexico would by that
time realize that law and order were all
the American army demanded But
this is merely hope, not we'll sup
ported by the country's antecedents.
One has to know the intimate history
Of political Mexico, from Hidalgo and
Juarez down, to understand how little
justification there is for such a conclu-
sion. The Mexican is not above de-

general staff Of the United States army
has recently revised it's plan of attack.
AS late as the mobilization of the "ma-
neuver division" in 1911, in some quar-
tiers the opinion was held that an inva-
sion from the north was indispensable
though secondary to the main move
ment from Vera Cruz and an advance
from Tampico. It is still somewhat
fashionable to seize capitals, though in
the light Of recent experiences it does
not always serve any particular pur-
pose. The present plan of the war
department. provides for a concentra-
ton upon Vera Cruz and the capital.
| Vera Cruz offers the best opportu-
nifty as base for the main attack
upon Mexico City. The distance to be
traversed is not very great-294 miles
by the best route. There would be no
difficulty landing at that point a force
sufficiently large to penetrate to the
capital in time. But there are consid-
erations of terrain that make opera
|
lapa. but eighty-two miles from the
coast, the country has already risen
to an altitude Of 4,61O feet, or nearly
ffty-seven feet to the mile Beyond
Jalapa and until Puebla is reached the
country is every bit as difficult.
$4,000 Men Needed.
It is doubtful whether Mexico City
could be taken via Vera Cruz with less
than 125,0O0 men. The only hope of
the officer in charge Of these operations
would lie in the superiority of num-
bers-the possibility that an extended
front, or line Of attack, would develop
weak spots in the defensive tactics of
the Mextcans. Individual courage is
sadly futile thing in a terrain such
as this, and the fortune of war gen
orally Is with the man behind the
boulder up on the hill. It is almost
unnecessary to have seen painting in
fantrymen scale heights to understand
this.
Mexico City might be taken via Vera
Cruz In six weeks if no severe reverses
had been suffered. Seven miles per
day with the country to be carried is
no mean performance.
Needless to say, the railroad to the
capital could not be used by the invad-
Ing forces, and such is the territory
which the line traverses that in many
places 1t could be put out of commits
sion for months. The line between
Mexico City and Vera Cruz is as diff
cult piece of railroad engineering as
can be found. The same is true of
most Of the other railroads operating
east and southeast of the capital Es-
t1mating the cost Of military operations
at So per diem for each man employ
ed, we find that the taking of the Mex
lean capital, outside of the mobiliza-
ton expenditure and cost of equip
ment, would amount to SIP, 100000.
Reverses Possible.
1t must be borne in mind, however,
that the case as here presented does
not discount even a single serious re-
verse. With the Mexicans hard to dis
lodge. the invading army might find
itself checkmated to such an extent
that weeks would be consumed in the
carrying of points of strategical i'm.
lportance. It must be remembered here

"HERE was time when the gen.
eral staff of the United States
army did think an invasion OF
Mexico an easy matter. 1t was
thought then that certain phenomen-
al military success, which landed the
American troops in Mexico City before
the world had thought it possible, could
be repeated at pleasure. Today a diff
ferent view prevails in the war depart
ment. To it is due the fine control of
the governmental temper.
Three years ago everybody would
have laughed at the statement that it
would take $4,000 men to invade Mex
leo effectively, writes George Albert
Schreiner in the New York Evening
Post. It was the habit then to assume
that a company Of Texas rangers could
cross the Rio Grande and subdue the
entire republic just as fast as their
mounts could cover it. The Mexican

do this. But something is likely to be
overlooked here. The incessant tur-

A word must be said here for the re.
naming human elements that would
take up arms. Even the most preju-
diced must admit that the Mexican. no
matter what his station in life, is
warmly attached to his country-his
republica. So great is this love Of
country that only the supply Of arms
could limit the number that would go
into the field in case of an invasion.
Since this is estimated at over a mil
lion stands Of rifles, there would be
no dearth in that direction. In a

be no lack of ammunition for a long
time. The republic not alone has &C.

SAVES LIFE OF
GIRL WHEN SEASIcK
Miss Elizabeth Lally of In
diana Harbor Exploited
as Heroine.

Miss Elizabeth Lally of Indiana Har-
Dor. is being exploited as the heroine
of the Inland picnic on Monday, she
having saved a life while the steam
ship Theodore Roosevelt on which the
majority of the ptanickers journey to
and from the scene of the festivities,
was waiting outside the Harbor to
back In.
Quite little wind blew up at the
time and this whipped the water into
something of a swell occasioning more
or less seasickness among the pas
sengers. Miss Anna Janen of Roberts
dale was one who suffered from a
temporary attack of NAL de mer, and
as she stood at the railing the boat
gave a lurch. which caused her to lose
her balance and fairly lifted her off
her feet. Miss Lally. needless OF her
own danger, which lay in the fact that
Miss Jansen might fall and pull her
into the water with her, seized the
young woman about the waist, there
by restoring her balance.
The girls had never met before that
day. but had become acquainted on tho
boat on the homeward journey.
