from the stories current that a party

the prince without exception. The

The volunteers would not be with

The green men would be taught in

with the value of sanitation in the

Major Carl R. Darnell of the medical

SUGGESTIONS FOR ICE TRUST
Just a Few Reasons Why There
Should Be an Advance In Price
of Summer Necessity.

The ice trust having offered q silver
loving-cup for the best excuse which
might be invented for raising the
price of ice after the cold winter, we
hopefully submit the following:
]. The Ice being so thick and heavy,
1t costs more to handle 1t.
2. The blocks are so large that there
is great waste In cutting them up for
the retail trade.
3. The ice is SO cold 1t freezes solid
In the storage houses and Is very diff
cult to get out.
4. AS the winter has been SO cold,
the summer viii necessarily be very
hot, and the demand for Ice very
great, so that it is doubtful II there
will be enough to 80 around.
8. The. ice being extra thick. extra
cold. and extra quality ali through, It
is only proper that an extra price
should be demanded.
6. The price of ice never had any
relation to the cost Of production, any.

OF their condition were taken to the
doors of the coaches by the guards
aboard the train and thrown OF, some
rolling underneath the wheels. Only
the few who reached hospitals in Mex
aco City had a chance to survive.
The American surgeons and Red
Nross workers on the field of battle,
as in the fighting at Vera Cruz, treat
friend and foe alike But even be-
fore the wounded become their care,
army 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-
matte that disease killed more than
bullets in war. This was strikingly
true of 1898.
Two years ago $4,000 American
troops were encamped several months
at San Antonio, Tex. There was only
one case of typhoid and not single
death from that cause. In 1898, II, 900
were In camp at Jacksonville, Fla, for
about the same length of time and
under similar conditions. There were
1858 cases of typhoid, and PAS 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

Methods to Prevent Pestilences

WORK FOR THE MEDICAL MEN
sanitation and Not Running Down Of
Bandittl VIII Be Task for U. s.
If It Intervenes and Occupies
Distracted Country.

Washington will cost billion
dollars to clean up Mexico" said a
noted sanitary expert here. He re-
Iferred 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 if 1t 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 q
country of boalthy, 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-
lions 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 g heap and left to die. Those
who could stand were crowded on q
train bound for Mexico City. Their
wounds were INTENDED and putrefac-
