No Moro Typhoid IN the Army.

ItpuO!O lever has DccI DdLISueu
from the United States army. In the
entire enrolment of over 10000 men
in barracks or camps in the United
States, Philippines, China, Porto Rico,
Cuba and Hawaii, there were during
1913 only three cases Of typhoid fever.
Two Of these were new recruits who
developed the disease four and five
days after they enlisted. Only a single
case of typhoid fever in an inoculated
soldier occurred during the entire year
out Of the entire body Of 10000 men.
This case occurred in a soldier in the
battalion on duty in China. All three
Of these cases recovered, so that not
single death in the army during the
year resulted from this disease. When
it is remembered that typhoid has been
for centuries the most dangerous dis
ease to the soldiers and that every
army, whether on garrison duty or in
the field. has expected to pay heavy
toll of sickness and death to this dis
ease, the record Of our troops is all the
more remarkable. The disappearance OF
typhoid is due directly to typhoid vac
cination, which has been practiced in
the army since 1909 Previous to the
introduction Of vaccination the best
record which had been obtained by
sanitary precautions was in 1908, In
which, OFT of 1852 men. there were
239 cases Of typhoid with "a deaths
Vaccination, begun in the army in 1909,
was first voluntarily, but later was made
universal In 1910, with S1,434 officers
and men in the army, there were 1913
cases Of typhoid with IA deaths. In
1911, with S2.S02 men in the army, there
were 10 cases and death. In 1912.
with ss,47S men enrolled, there were
only 27 cases and deaths. while In
1918, with 90.s4e officers and men in
the army. there were 3 cases and no
deaths, and as has. been shown above,
two Of the three cases were in recruits
who had Just joined the army. AS the
sanitary conditions food, water and all
the surroundings were practically the
same in 1918 as in 1908. the only cause
for such a remarkable record is tho
general enforcement of typhoid vac
cination. These startling and grati-
flying facts are from an article by Major
+. r. Russell in n recent issue Of The
Journal of the American Medical AS
sociation.

INDIANS WHO STRUCK OIL.

Whene Secretary Lane in his annual
report speaks of the Osages as proba'
bly, the wealthfest people in the world
he draws a picture Of prosperity in
which their numerous brothers on
Western reservations have no part.
1t was the fortune of the Navajos. one
Of the strongest and worthiest tribes
among the 300, 600 Indians still remain
ing in the United States, to be consign
ed to a barren tract Of territory in All
iona and New Mexico. By good luck
the Five Civilized Tribes came into
possession Of immensely rich lands
whose future value was little suspect
ed. The Navajos still live as best they
can from their sheep and ponies, as
they did forty years ago, The Osages,
Chfckasaws have substantial proper
tv interests. It was not the ortglna!
intention Of the Government to favor
one class more than another or prob
ably to favor either OF them greatly.
Through the allotment OF their
tribal lands In severalty the Osages
each received about 657 acres. Their
average wealth is $9,579, and their
average nCCLQG LEULu oh uAA cts -"
alties alone $500. The average Usage
family Of four would receive an In
come Of nearly $2,70o, aside from tho
returns from the land allotted its mem
bers. There r individual Creks
who last year received over $4,000
in oil royalties.
The tribal revenues collected last
wear for the Five Civilized Tribes from
grazing fees, coal and asphalt leases
payment on town lots and sale OF un.
allotted lands amounted to $1,956,,297
and since 1898 over s17,0o0,ooO has
been deposited to their credit. the
problem in their case is to keep then
from wasting their resources and now
that they have the status OF citizens
from being preyed upon their white
neighbors.
The problem with other less forum,
ate tribes is how they shall be raised
from tho verge of starvation n
