The Board points out that
many city people, in their
anxiety to leave the city during
the oppressive summer season,

marty for its location and often
without the slightest regard for
It's sanitation. In the past, this
has led to serious sickness and
frequently to the appearance of

sit is undoubtedly true"
says the Board, "that sanitary
conditions at the summer re-
sorts of Virginia are better than
they have ever been in the
past. There are many summer
hotels and cottages to which a
city man may send his family
with the assurance that their
health will be adequately pro-
tected. 1t is, however, highly
important that prospective
visitors ascertain in advance
the sanitary facilities of the re-
sorts they propose to patronize
and satisfy themselves in adj.
vance that good water, good
milk, proper'sewerage and pro-
lection from flies are to be had.
Mothers who have young child
rem should be especially care
full to ascertain that the milk
supply is satisfactory and that
the milk is properly cared for

State Troops
Will Camp at Gordonsville
July 21st to 30th.

Richmond. Va, June "a -
Because of Richmond's failure
to install sewerage and proper
sanitary equipment at the site
selected for the annual encamp.
ment of the Virginia National
Guard, the city has lost the en-
campment.
Governor Stuart today order
ed the State troops to encamp
Al Gordcnsville from July 81 to
no. The order includes all
troops except field artillery,
which will encamp at Toby
hanna.
The selection of Gordonsville
is final, and was made only
after it was seen that the city
officials of Richmond We're not
inclined to make an appropria-
tom 20 bring the troops here.
The State wanted the city to
mt the Fair Grounds into a
sanitary condition, and, while
there was no refusal to do so,
the dilatory tactics of city Of
fcials lead to the belief that
nothing would be done.
Colonel Allen Potts and Colo
mel Joe Lane Stern have both
inspected the site selected for
the encampment, and are salts
ned that it is sufficiently large
enough to accommodate a whole
division of infantry, where Nlr-
ginia will only have three regi-
ments, one separate battalion
and several auxiliary organiza.
tions in camp.
The site il three quarters of a
mile to the northwest of the
town, and is near the Chesa-
peake and Ohio Railway. The
company has agreed to run a
switch directly into the grounds
for the accommodation of the
troops, aud the city officials of
Gordonsyille have offered many
inducements to the military
authorities.
Being at an altitude of $50
feet, it il not believed that the
troops will suffer from the heat
particularly as the nights are
generally cool. At this height
mosquitoes are not bothersome,
aud as there will be little or
nothing to distract the attention
Of the men, tits expected that
much will be accomplished at
the camp.
First Lieutenant Theodore NJ.
Chase, an Instructor at West
Point, has been ordered by the
War Department TO act as
quartermaster. He reached
Richmond yesterday, and had
q lengthy conference with Nd
lutant General Sale in regard
to the arrangements for the

and will report in time for the
encampment.
That no excuses from attend

indicated by General Sale, who
stated that every militinman
was expected TO do his military

De an important one, as regular
army troops will be there for

Avoid Heat
State Board of Health Out
lines "Don'ts" for Comfort
During Hot Weather
of Summer.

Richmond, Va, June 27.-To
do no more work than is neces.
sary and do that with the least
possible exertion is one of the
most important injunctions of
a series on comfort in hot
weather" issued today by the
State Board OF Health.
Discomfort, Tho Board de-
clares. is almost inevitable dur
ing the season OF summer heat,
but it may be minimized by
care and foresight aud by re.
gard for a few essentials of
personal hygiene.
"Overcxertion. SAYS the
Board, sis responsible not only
for sunstroke and for serious
physical disorders, but is the
direct cause OF heat debility and
depression Wen must remember
that exertion which is normal
and even invigorating during
the winter is Excessive in sum
mer and reacts disastrously
Everyone should be extremely
careful not to walk rapidly, to
run or to do other work in the
sun hey that which is abso-
lutely necessary It's best to
Keep in the shade as much as
possible and wherever possible.
1.-The diet must be most care
fully regulated in summer.
Much less food is required for
The body and, if this be exceed
ed, the body will become over
heated. y diet of vegetables
and fruit is healthful and is to
be preferred to heavy meat.
The clothing of all persons
during the summer should be
light aud should be changed
with the weather. Many per
sons spend miserable summers
because they will not wear
clothes sufficiently light or
suited to this climate. In the
case of young children this is
highly important, as infants
suffer acutely when overdressed
in hot weather Babies should
be given the maximum of fresh
air during summer and the
minimum of clothes.
y word of caution should be
given summer excursionists and
city people who take vacations
in the country. out of-door
exercise, boating, rowing.
games and the like should not
be indnlged in too freely at the
outset and should be avoided
during the heat of the day.
The only sensible course for a
person not accustomed to such
strenuous exercise is to work
up to it, gradually. Such a
course causes for less discom.
fort and less subject to the
dangers OF prostration and de-
billy"
