believes that the work Of preparing
the army for the field has been SO ef-
fectively done that there will be little
danger to the soldiers health.
If the army were mobiliZed to oc-
cupy the whole of Mexico it would con-
as many volunteers. The regulars, eX-
cepting the recruits, would average
one, to three years of experience,
which has taught them how to take
care of themselves In the field.
The volunteers would not be with
out experience either. Many would
be Spanish war veterans and others
would have learned the proper sani-
tary measures from maneuver camps.
The green men would be taught in
concentration camps. Most of the
officers of volunteers are impressed
with the value of sanitation in the
field and they and the regular officers
and older soldiers can be depended
upon to instruct the new men quickly
In correct habits. There was no such
element of experienced men in 1898.
The responsibilities of the army
sanitary officer are great. 1t is his
duty to see that there is an adequate
and pure water supply. All divisions
which go to the front Will be equipped
with the Darnell filter invented by
Major Carl R. Darnell of the medical
corps, who is now in the Philippine
Islands. In many places in Mexico
hltering will not do and water must
be boiled Besides water, the sani
tary officer must see that there is prop
er disposal of sewage. that all waste
food Is promptly destroyed, that mos
quito nettings are always used by ev-
erybody wherever there are any mos
quitos, that stable manure-the COM
mon breeding ground of f1ies-is never
allowed to accumulate, but is prompt
ly burned, that clothes and bedding
are exposed to the direct rays Of the
sun at frequent intervals, that care is
taken not to permit the troops to eat
unsound fruit or anything else which
Is liable to be infected, and generally
that the rules of healthy living are OBJ
served by everybody.
With an army engaged In actual
warfare, all this work has to be car
rted out under the excitement of the
campaign and the pressure of the
strategic and tactical needs Of the mo-
ment and subject to the imperative
need of attending to the wounded. For
this reason, these precautions against
disease are scarcely effective unless
there is intelligent cooperation on the
part of officers and men.
Yellow fever. tropical malaria. Mex
lean typhus, typhoid and dysentery
are the diseases most to be expected
in Mexican campaign. To combat

Horsepower OF Water.

Still the water gives no power. no
energy. Falling water has only as
much power as is represented by its
weight. A gallon of falling water will
develop as much power as a falling
block of iron weighing 62.5 pounds. OF
course, the greater the fall the greater
the power developed. Water falling one
foot will develop a pressure Of .43
pounds per square inch of pipe. The
same amount of water falling 100 feet
will develop a pressure of 43.31
pounds per square inch of pipe Fall,
ing 1000 feet, it would produce pres,
sure of 439.O9 pounds per square inch
of pipe.
To compute the power of falling wa
ter it is necessary to multiply the vol
ume of flowing water in cubic feet per
minute by its weight, 62.5 pounds, and
this product by the vertical height of
the fall in feet, and divide by $4,000,
the number of foot-pounds represent
ing one horsepower for one minute.

NoGrs PREcEPTs FOR BOYS
Code OF Famous Japanese General
Worth Observing by Youngsters
Of Any Country.

The late General Count Nogi, who
committed suicide at the moment
when the gun was fired which an
nounced the start of the funeral pro-
cession of the late Japanese emperor,
Issued note of disciplinary instruc-
tions for the pupils of the grammar
grado Of the Peers school, which has
just been reprinted. The gist of the
instructions Is as follows:
First-Keep your mouth closed. He
who has always his mouth open shows
that his mind is blank.
Second-Mind what you are looking
at. One whose eye is always wander
ing tells that his mind Is also wander
ing.
Third-When paying your respects
look at the person whom you are sa-
luting.
Fourth-Do not forget your coat-of-
arms, family standing, and ancestors.
Due respect to your ancestors is i'm
portant.
Fifth-A boy should act boy-like.
Avoid becoming effeminate.
Sixth--Never indulge in luxury.
There is nothing that makes a fool of
a man like luxury.
Seventh-Ride in rikisha as little
as possible. Even if rikisha is sent
for you, try to walk home.
Eighth-How many of you wash
your faces with cold water in the win.
ter? You should not use warm water.
Ninth-When it is cold, think it is
hot; and when it is hot, think it is
cold.
Tenth-It is shame to wear torn
clothes without mending them. But to
wear the torn part patched is nothing
to be ashamed of.
Eleventh-Know what is shame; he
who does not know what is shame is
inferior to dumb animals.
Twelfth-While in good health train

Methods to Prevent Pestilences
HopelessIy Out of Date.
WORK FOR THE MEDICAL MEN
Sanitation and Not Running Down Of
Banditti VIII Be Task for v. s.
If It lntervenes and Occupies
Distracted Country.

Washington.-"It will cost billion
dollars to clean UP Mexico" said a
noted sanitary expert here. He re-
ferred to the medieval condition of the
Mexican cities regarding measures for
the prevention Of pestilences. This
work Of sanitation and not the running
down of banditti Is the great task the
United States will undertake II it in
tervenes in Mexico and occupies that
distracted country.
But just now the medical men here
are not directly concerned with the
problem of rendering all Mexico a
country of healthy, modern cities.
They are bending every effort to as
sure the freedom from sickness of the
thousands of boys IN khaki already In
the tierras calientes, or hot coast
lands, and the tens of thousands who
may soon land there.
Nothing could illustrate better the
necessity of proper medical STATS in
The field than recent reports Of condi-
tions in the Mexican federal army.
The Mexican army has no medical
corps that deserves the name. After
a recent battle with the rebels the
wounded who could not stand were
piled in a heap and left to die. Those
who could stand were crowded on a
train bound for Mexico City. Their
wounds were untended and putrefac-
tion set In. The poor wretches had

not even water. Those complaining
OF their condition were taken to the
doors of the coaches by the guards
aboard the train and thrown off, some
rolling underneath the wheels. Only
the few who reached hospitals in Mex
5co City had chance to survive.

as in the fighting at Vera Cruz, treat
friend and foe alike. But even be-
fore the wounded become their care,
:4army medical men find plenty to do.
Sanitary work has really only been
learned since the time of the Spanish
American war. 1t used to be axio-
amatic that disease killed more than
bullets in war. This was strikingly
lsfrue of 1898.
} Two years ago $4,000 American
Hroops were encamped several months
mt San Antonio, Tex. There was only
one case OF typhoid and not single
death from that cause. In 1898. 1900
were In camp at Jacksonville. Fla, for
about the same length Of time and
under similar conditions. There were
1858 cases of typhoid. and 24S poor
FELLOWS died. Nothing could better
illustrate army progress in preventing
disease.
The Mexicans In Vera Cruz who
were familiar with conditions in their
own fighting force marveled at the
preparations the American troops
Smade to war upon disease. The trim

Traffic In Park Goldfish.

Molesting the goldfish in the lakes

as eight youngsters, taken to the ju-
venile court. have learned. In each
case fine of 81 was imposed. The
lads were from the East side.
Park employees learned recently Of a
traffic in park goldfish 1t was found
that one boy had captured and sold
$1.36 worth In the park. The lad had
placed them in bottles as he got them
and then sold them at bargain prices
to park visitors. Police Commission
er Woods was informed, and detailed
some extra men around the Harlem
lake.
The "cops" captured nine of the
young anglers. All had lines with bent
pins attached to the end, with piece
of cotton for bait. The goldfish, In

known before, rose to the cotton bait
and were soon in captivity.--New York

DAMAGED STATUES IN BERLIN
Retired French Army Officer Broke
Marble From "Sleses Alice"
Monuments

Berlin.-Serious acts of vandalism
have been perpetrated In the famous
"Sieges Alice" here. Four statues
wore badly damaged and the beaks of
several of the marble eagles which
form the arms of the benches in the
"Allee" were found to have been
broken of.
A man who, at about the time Of
the outrage, was seen to step over the
chain surrounding one of the statues
was arrested in connection with the
affair. and in his pockets were found
stone of considerable size and a
strong knife.
The prisoner gave his name as An
tome Astier. a pensioned staff surgeon
of the French marine. His age is
given as forty-one.
The statues which Astier damaged
were those of Frederick the Great, the
Elector Joachim Friedrich. the Elector
Joachim II and Margrave Heinrich H.

Prevention of Disease in the Army
and the Best Method of Accomplishing
That Result" says there has never
been a time when the army Of the
United States was better prepared for
war as far as military hygiene is con-
cerned
In case Of extended operations in
Mexico Major General Leonard Wood
would be In command. He entered
the service as medical man. "The
Fighting Doctor" as he Is dubbed, can
be relied upon to pay special attention
to sanitation.

over that billion dollar sanitary cam

Francisco by dyeing rats vermilion
and yellow and green and by these
brilliant messengers tracing the
spread of the Asiatic scourge about

I'D RIDES to be, more than any one

daughter. But review Of the gowns
made for her, and other members Of
the bridal cortege, reveals an adapta-
ton Of the present modes to individ-
ua1 taste and refinement that is in
teresting to every one.
The most noteworthy feature about
all the gowns was simplicity. In a
season Of conglomerations and elabor-
ations that often arrive at the stage
Of fussiness and shapelessness the
gowns Of Miss Wilson's trousseau
were simple in design and yet con-
trived to strike the notes of the mode.
Kurzman, to whom the daughters of
multimillionaires appear to turn with
one accord when they go a-trousseau-
ing, undertook the pleasant task of
outfltting the White House bride, and
accomplished it in a manner to won
der at.
Here is a picture of the bride, pho
tographed in her wedding gown The
gown is Of ivory white satin, made
with a long train, and the lines of the
skirt unbroken except by fiat appli-
cation of magnificent point lace. The
bodice is draped in the quaint and
fascinating surplice fashion at one
side with a sash of lace drawn over
the shoulder at the opposite side. The
underbodice is of chiffon laid in ir-
regular plaits and fastened with a
small brooch at the point of the "V'

!, shaped neck. It was a triumph
The very long and moderately full
tulle veil was arranged in cap for
the head, with wreath Of orange
blossoms set just back of the gathered
fulness at the front. The short face
veil is thrown back, falling free from
the head, but the remainder of the
veil falls from the cap, into which it
Is gathered across the back of the
head.
The bouquet of white orchids witt
many loops Of gauze ribbon and val
ley lilies was provided with the usual
pendants Of ribbon and sprays Of
flowers, the longest reaching to the
bottom Of the gown.
The gown may be taken as a lovely
type Of the regulation bridal dress
with concession to the present mode
in the hanging Of the skirt and the
open, uncovered throat. The sleeves
were rather full and long. 1t is a
splendid achievement, and the rare
lace that adorns it ought to outlast
generations of brides. 1t looks as il
it might have been chosen with the
idea Of treasuring some memento Of
the gown, which adorned the bride,
upon the great day in her life.
This, and others of the trousseau,
are worthy the study of women who
refuse to follow exaggerations in style.
The gowns are those of woman Of

TT is interesting to note that bathing
i caps, designed along entirely new
lines, are taking the place of simpler
caps Of rubberized cloth made all e1-
actly alike and without any reference
to becomingness. The new caps are
of silk and many of them intended to
be worn over close-fitting rubber caps
which provide the real protection to
the hair.
A pretty and strikingly original
model is pictured here. made of taf-
feta silk, which is about as satisfac-
tory as any material to be had for
bathing caps and suits. Women un-
derstand now that getting down to

ter are two entirely compatible things.

swimming pool for women is about as
much behind the times as house

miss the benefits and pleasures of the
simplest and pieasantest of summer
sports; and one does not need to be-
long to the leisure class to enjoy the

The cap illustrated is made of
piece of silk folded over and stitched
in one seam. 1t is made to fit snugly
about the head and finished with a
narrow hem. Two tabs of silk are
tackled on at the sides by way of max
