MADE THE VICTORY CERTAIN
Gunner's Announcement Naturally
Brought Joy to the Heart Of
Artillery Captain.

With a ringing cheer the enemy ad-
vanced to attack the intrenchments.
"Fire!" hoarsely shouted the artil-
iery captain, and the roar of the guns
responded. but without checking the
steady advance of the enemy.
One piece remained undischarged.
"Why don't you fire." demanded the
captain.
IL don't know If it's loaded" re-
sponded the gunner.
A CLEAN of Joy lit up the stern fea-
lures OF the commander.
Then victory is ours!" he shouted.
Fire it and let's find QUIT"
The discharge moved down the ad-
vancing column and the assault was
Fepelled.
Twas ever thus.

ent and past conditions of health of the commu
nifty, whether or not typhoid and other COM
municable disease are or have been prevalent,
the number Of cases of such diseases and their
location, the general sanitary condition OF the
houses, the land and the inhabitants 1t is
comprehensive work and 1t is carried out In every
locality where there is a thought that danger may
exist
At Cape Charles the public health service has
an experiment station 1t is a we'll and pictur-
esquely located building, fitted with all the need
ed appliances for the scientific work which there
is prosecuted. At little distance Is building
which is used for tank house in which
placed all the material which is to be the sub
ject Of meteorological and chemical examination.
From the beginning Of each working trip until the
final results OF the examinations of the material
collected are known the work of the service men
is most thorough. Nothing is left to chance and
nothing is omitted which might in any way help
the safeguarding labor.
In this study of possible shell fish bed, or water
pollution, the public health service has conducted
work in the Mississippi sound In the time
to come unquestionably the field of labor will be
widely extended. The value OF the service is un-
questionable and 1t has been so recognized by the
scientific world. The shell FISH industry Is an
enormous one and II is OF surprising value. The
public health service not only works for the peo-
ple but for the industry itself. which, OF course,
cannot thrive IL its product becomes charged with
danger to the public health. In word OF
the great works Of the public health service is to
see to II that one great part OF the food supply
OF the United States Is made and kept safe
The reports of the public health service are
made public and the government and the individ-
ual states profit by them. In the agricultural de-
partment there are two governmental agencies
which make OF the information which the
public health service supplies. There are pure
food and sanitary laws in the United States and
there are means OF reaching offenders against
them. Three departments OF the government the

The Bratton is a small ship, but under the dr.
recton OF the service and OF it's complement OF
scientists Il is doing a great work for the public
health or the people of these United States OF
America.

little OF what is being done in its behalf This
ships commander is also a doctor, a surgeon and
a scientist. On the ship knowledge is trained
against the enemy. The Bratton's cruises are
made in behalf of the welfare of American cit
zens and they constitute menace to the coun-
try of any people on earth
1t is the first duty of the Bratton to safeguard
the oyster Industry Of the waters In which the
ship sails Safeguarding the oyster industry
means safeguarding the health of the consumers
OF oysters and other shell fish. In 1912 law
was passed which gave into the hands of the pub
lie health service the work of field investigation
into the causes of diseases affecting man. and
the duty Of enforcing rules Of safety at the
sources OF trouble. Under the same law the serv-
ice was charged with the work of the study of the
pollution OF streams by sewage and by industrial
wastes The work In connection with the oyster
industry falls within the field of the duties i'm
posed upon the service by this law of 1912
The Bratton steams all through the coast
waters OF the Chesapeake. making incursions into
the inlets bays and tributary rivers Under the
direction of the surgeon in charge shell fish are
taken from the beds at all the sources Of supply.
With them are taken samples Of the water at diff
ferent depths and also samples OF the material
which forms the bed of the coastal waters. the
bays and the streams at the points where the
test is to be applied.
meteorological and chemical examinations are
made OF the shell fish, the water and the bottom
material Inc Dacterlologlcal examination is the
most important 1t discloses the total number OF
bacteria and the number OF colon bacilli which
are present The presence OF colon bacilli In
great numbers shows the presence OF fecal mat
ter and arouses instant and earnest attention
and painstaking examination and report.
The layman probably knows in general way
that typhoid fever through the method OF its in
PRODUCTION into the system Is one OF the grave
dangers which threatens the people through its
food supply. II must not be supposed for mo-
ment that the work OF the scientists on the Brat
ton cease when they have taken their samples
and have detected the presence of elements which
may constitute danger to the public health.
When there is suspicion that the coastal waters
the shell fish bed. the waters OF beach which
are used for bathing purposes by the people. are
affected by dangerous deposits, the land whose
drainage flows into the suspected waters Instantly
is studied. All useful information concerning IL
Is obtained and means are taken 90 correct cpndi-
tions which have contributed to the pollution OF
the waters or have wholly produced It.

they have made great battles unnecessary. 1t Is
a large part Of their duty to overcome the enemy

make impossible his appearance in the field which
he seeks to sow with the germs of disease which
are his weapons OF offense.

POLICE TOO SLOW
FOR BERGENDAHL
Moliner Loses Four Coats, SO
He Says, but Later Dis
covers Mistake.

Walter Bergendahl, who resides at
Railroad avenue and Ninth street, is
much disguised with the local police
department because aeroplanes which
travel at a rate of three miles per min
ute are not in use here. ii would seem.
Last night he was the victim of auto
bandits who robbed him of four coats,
so he said, and then mounting their
car disappeared in the direction OF
Rock Island. The man phoned the
police and then waited about two min
utes and as no officer appeared in that
time he became vexed with the depart
ment and again called up the desk ser
geant, expressing his opinion OF such
slowness. The desk sergeant was of
the opinion that some influential gent
was talking and therefore made no
contradictory remarks. saying that he
would do all in his power to get an
officer there at once.
But the officer had already gone and
4 few moments later hesreturned ac-
by Bergendahl. whom he
had arrested on a charge of disorderly
conduct Bergendahl was somewhat
and when arraigned in
police court this morning was sur
prised to learn that he had lost four
coats. As a matter of fact he said he
only had one. He was dismissed after
promising to takefhe pledge.
