latrine pits are burned out each day
with straw and crude petroleum. Aft
er each meal all waste is burned In
the incinerators. When canned goods
are used the cans must be thrown In
with the garbage and burned out; aft
erward the burned tin Is hauled away.
This Is one of the methods Of keeping
flies out Of camp. but several other
methods are used as well. Swatting
the fly Is as common In an army camp
as in household.
OF course. all men In camp have
been vaccinated, 80 smallpox Is not
feared. Everybody under forty-fve,
whether they are soldiers or civilians
or servants, must be inoculated to pre-
vent typhoid, so there is little danger
Of that malady. In case the camp
is in a country where mosquitoes
abound all officers and men are made
to sleep under nets.

there Is little objection by the
proprietors Of the cafes. At first one
or two owners objected to the Inter
ference to rights" and sentry was
stationed in front Of the cafe by the
commanding officer. His duty was to
prevent soldiers from entering. This
soon caused the proprietor to "give
in" and Texas City soon became the
most sanitary place in Texas. The
health of the men in this camp was
excellent. and when the transports
sailed to Vera Cruz the soldiers were
in excellent physical condition. Since
their occupation in Mexico there has
been very little sickness. only sixty

ease and seven by injury. There were
q few heat prostrations, or rather heat
exhaustions. Until the men become
acclimated to the tropics. especially
in the rainy season when the humidity
runs high, these cases will occur. They
are; however, not serious. The most
surprising thing Is that but one case

of these diseases. The Philippine
Scouts. however. hold the highest
record for malarial fever. This is due
to a large extent to the fact that they
sleep outside the barracks and unpro-
tected by mosquito nets. They are
also the most susceptible to tuber-
culosis. The Porto Rican troops suffer
from intestinal disorders, probably
brought on by eating improper food
when away from the barracks.
Alcoholism exists IN the army. al.
though It has been decreased to some
extent. Every possible means have
been tried to prevent the men from
drinking. but the saloons with their
many attractions seem to have an ir-
resistible fascination for the enlisted
man. More amusements have been
added to the camps and posts In the
hope of keeping the men from these
dens of infamy which throw out so
many ailurements to the soldier.

dysentery may be spread by contact
as we'll as by flies and other insects
and these methods of transmission are
often hard to eliminate, and the most
rigid rules are made by the surgeons
along these lines with guard house

to obey them.
Making Camp Healthy.

the work of drainage begins, all ditch
ing being done under the supervision
OF the engineer. Arteslan wells are
then sunk, and the surgeons begin an
analysis of the water. and this con-
tinues until pure water is obtained. In
the country of an enemy the potable
weter question comes up, which usual
ly ends in boiling all drinking water.
Filtering plants, too, are sometimes
used, but as the smallest field filter
weighs about sixty pounds its use is
only practical to the men who are
provided with transportation.
When the camp Is semi-permanent,
such as for instruction or awaiting
transportation to campaign, the wa
ter is frequently piped into camp and
distributed to the Kitchens and shower
baths. The water supply is. perhaps,
the most carefully guarded thing
about the camp.

being settled, the medical men set

It is foregone conclusion that a
sick man does not make successful
workman, nor does he make success
ful fighter. Realizing this fact the
United States Government is using its
best efforts to stamp out disease in our
army. OF course, In such large
body Of men sickness and death will
occur, but by the use. of proper meth
s DDS the epidemics so common in the
wars Of by-gone days may be pre-
vented.
Camp sites are selected with the
greatest care-in fact, the army has
several medical men whose chief duty
It b to select the spots for the tent

may be obtained. Typhoid fever and
dysentery have been the camp dis
eases heretofore. but today these have
been practically banished from our
army. This has been no easy task.
The typhoid prophylactic used on
the men has practically exterminated
that disease as only eighteen cases
\ occurred last year in the army sta

for the prevention Of typhoid was
made compulsory in 1911, and is be-

SICK HEADACHE
Pinklets, the New Laxative, Gives
Quick Relief in Most Cases.

As rule sufferer from sick headache
can tell hours in advance when an at
tack is coming on.
The trouble is caused by gradual accu-
mutation OF poison generated in the di-
gestive organs and when certain point
is reached this poison produces nausea
and the attack follows.
In very many cases the use of proper
laxative before the condition of Lrostra-
ton is reached will FORGET the poisons from
thesystem and the attack will be avoided.
Pinklets are a dainty laxative, tiny,
sugar-coated granules that arouse no feel
ing of repulsion, and they act so gently
that they are the ideal laxative to ne in
correcting tendency to sick headache.
They do not upset the digestion, do not
grippe and have no unpleasant effect to
make them Objectionable to the extra
sensitive sick-headache patient. Old
fashioned, harsh purgatives will not do
at all in such cases. For complete infor-
nation regarding the treatment Of sick
headache send TO the DR.. Williams Mcdi-
cine Co., Schenectady, N. Y, for the
Pinklet book. 1t is free.
Your own druggist can supply gou with
Pinklets in 25-cent bottles.

American Consular Agent
Is Persona Non
Grata
WITH THE HUERTA
GOVERNMENT
He Told of the Fall of Tor
reon and Thereby !.
Gave Offense

Washington, April THE cancella-
ton by the Huerta government OF the
|exeauateur OF American Consular Agent
George G. Carothers because he sent to
Washington dispatches saying the rebels
had taken Torreon from the Huerta
forces, failed to disturb state depart
ment officials Yesterday The Huerta
government still denies Torreon has fall
en-. Mr.. Carothers obtained his exequa-
terr when he was accredited to the Ma
daro government and stationed at Tor
reon.
Since the outbreak of the Carranza
revolution he has had rowing commits
sion in northern Mexico and his exc
quateur from the Mexico City govern
ment hos been of little value to him, all
his dealings being with the Constitution
alists.
1t is the intention of the American
government to keep Carothers with Cen
eral Villa and the Constituionalist lead
ers, to make prompt representations for
the safety OF American citizens and
other foreigners and look after their in
terests generally.
Should Mr. Carothers find it necessary
to go into territory controlled by the
Huerta government he may now be I'M
able to do business with its local author
tiles but there is no prospect that he per-
sonally will be inconvenience or pre-
vented from making observations as an
unofficial representative. Neither John
Lind nor William Bayard Hale had any
exequateur, while in federal territory.
Official advices telling of the expulsion
of 600 Spaniards from Torreon by Villa
were expected during the day. Until the
Spanish ambassador calls it to the at
tention of state department officials here
there is little likelihood of any action
by the Washington government.
The United States itself has issued a
warning to its own citizens to leave
those parts of Mexico where military
operations are being carried on and has
more than once intimated that other
governments might well take similar
steps. The right OF deportation is one
provided for under the Mexican consti-
tuition and has been exercised alike by
the Huerta government and the Constr
tutionalists for alleged military or
financial support Of the enemy and va
rious other reasons.
No request for recognition OF the Con-
stitutionalsts has been made by Carran-
"a. President Wilson made it clear yes
terday that the United States would be
guided by developments as they arose
in determining such questions. He
pointed out that Washington waited al
most two years to recognize Porfirio
Daz a half century ago.
Mr.. Riano, the ambassador from
spain. received official notice yesterday
OF Villas expulsion OF Spanish subjects
from Torreon and prepared to make rep
reservations in protest to Secretary
Bryan. Spain not only objects to their
expulsion but also to the confiscation Of
their property, which is estimated to
run into the millions.
