huqhie's YOUNG Pitchers.

Manager Jennings has this season an
unusually large number Of young
pitchers whom he wants to test before
American league batters just as soon
and just as often as he can. If the
pitchers are going t be able to stick
he wants to know it at once. If they
do stick he wants to give them just
as much work as he possibly can.
1t would seem that under these cir
cumstances he would do either of two
things. 1t might appear that he
would send the youngsters into games
that had already been Won or lost by
the Tigers. If one of the regular pitch
ers had the game refrigerated in

HarmsWorth Edited New York Paper.
When Lord Northclitrc, the English
publisher and peer, was plain Mr..

him to he editor of the New York
World for II day In order to cXem-
plify the Harmsworth contention that
n New York papers are too big. The
tabloid World, famous in newspaper
circles, was the result.
H~armSworth called the staff into CON
sultation. Henry y. Cary, then news
editor, suggested as n jolc that all
members o. the staff should appear
that night in full evening regalia.
Everybody consented with one eXcep-

was the editor who would not fall in

How the Corps Works.
The functions of the medical corps Of
the army We're explained by Colonel
Maus:
after the question of a camp site
has been settled" said the colonel,
who from his service during the Span
ish wal days is an expert on all phases
OF the problem, the men Of the med
1cal ~detachmentS look to the water sup
ply, and this point IS particularly i'm
portant in tropical countries. The
water supply is tested by Il chemical
analysis, and until it has been positive
ly established the supply is pure guards
are set with orders to keep the men
away.
strict instructions are issued to the
troops to drink no water that has not
been O. KID by the medical officers,
and the steriliZed article is used unless
the stream is pronounced safe"
Colonel Maus explained that all Of
the men are inoculated against typhoid
and smallpox before they take the field.
Setting up camp with the light field
equipment is a dog tent proposition for
the troops, and while the soldiers
themselves are getting their shelters
pitched the commissary branch is busy
with the preparation of food. Here
again the sanitary corps has its share
OF the job. The medical men must pay
special attention to the conditions sur
rounding the establishment Of the
camp kitchens, and frequent inspec-
tions of h culinary sections of camp
are made to insure everything being
kept spick and span. \ part OF the
kitchen equipment is mosquito netting,

ner are rigidly enforced.
Supervise Camp Kitchens.
"The medical officers have complete
control OF the camp kitchens in this re-
spect," explained Colonel Mans, and
similar inspections are made Of messes,
corralS and sinks. For the disposal Of
all camp refuse incinerators are de-
vised or equally good means taken to
DO away with waste matter. The men
of the sanitary corps also further pro-
tcct the health of the troops by the use
of disinfectants.
$50 much stress has been laid on the
question OF the proper sanitation Of
camps since the Spanish war that the
troops have been well educated along
these lines. There is nov' Il splendid
cooperation between the officers and
the medical corps on such matters.

corps is now doing. it is only necessary
to say that since the troops from vari-

sickness among them has been no more

permanent buildings of an army post.

The Health Brigade.
The situation in Mexico serves to
call attention to an important branch
of the service little heard of in times
of peace, but which in reality is the
foundation of the army-the army
medical corps-because the ability of
the army properly and efficiently to
perform it's duty depends largely upon
the health of the personnel. In order
to indicate the Importance of the med
ical corps, DR.. II. Sheridan Baketel Of
data concerning it.
"The United States army" he says,
"Shows such a low rate of illness that
