Modern science has done much to
Danish disease among soldiers, and
the scourges of smallpox, malaria
and cholera, which in former cam
paigns have killed more men than

menace for fighting men. There
still remain, however. diseases such
as dysentery, pneumonia and enterlc'
which are likely TO break out among
bodies of troops unless careful pre-
cautions are taken by the men them
selves.
Dysentery is one of the most ter

out of $4,000 casualties. bullets ac-
counted for only 5000 and disease

Dysentery, which is an inf1ama-

orally caused through impure water.
Soldiers at the front have been CIV

drink, whenever possible, though, OF
course. there are obvious difficulties
in the way of providing every SOL

Pneumonia is a disease which sell

Sleeping in rain-sodden trenches or

prising that this complaint should re-
suit from such exposure. AS Sir
William Osler, the medical expert
points out. the resisting forces OF the
body are lowered when cold and rain
come. and long, eXhausting marches
have to be carried out, and thus the
weary soldier falls an easy victim to
pneumonia and kindred complaints
caused by severe chills.
Enteric, or typhoid. is one of the
most fatal diseases connected with
modern warfare.

WEEPS FOR KISSING COWS
Spinster Identifies Hides and Attacks
Men Who Skinned Pets.

Miss Frances E. Peters, wealthy
spinster, of Kirkwood, tainted in po-
lice headquarters today when she
identified a cowskin found on two
negro men as that of Pearl, a thor
oughbred COW she raised herself and
was accustomed to kiss good night
every evening. Regaining conscious
ness, she became hysterical and
sprang at the prisoners to attack
them.
Sheriff Bode, of St. Louis county,
hurried the men away. while Miss
Peters, moaning and wringing her
hands, stood on the sidewalk, beg
ging for a chance to get at the slay-
ers of her darling"
Miss Peters said that Pearl and
her companion, Nellie, had been
raised by her from calves and that
she had so lavished kindness on them
that if when each evening they put
up their noses to be kissed she failed
to do so they would moo" through
the night until she went to them.
The prisoners admitted skinning
the COWS, but said they had found
them dead in a field near Miss Peters

SITUATION AT SCEZ.

private letters and the reaSsuring
statements issued by the English au-
| thorities about the situation in
Egypt, old Italian residents Of the
Egyptian capital have brought to
Rome. says a correspondent. enough
data TO strengthen the belief that in
the Sinai peninsular all has not gone
as England might have wished; that
the colonial troops defending the
canal have on more than one occa-
sion met with crushing reverses. and
that the situation all along the canal
if not critical, to say the least, is en-
tremely precarious.
AS to the situation in the capital,
the Italians say that the city, which
up to month or so ago, sported an
air full of confidence in the ability OF
the colonial troops to prevent the in
vasion of the country and went even
so far as to predict brilliant season,
lives now in constant fear of some
dire calamity.
What is more ominous is the sui
len, hostile attitude assumed by the
native population since the holy war
was proclaimed.
Now and then Christian gen.
darme is found mysteriously slain
in the dark alleys of the fish market,
and it is invariably the short double
edged dagger that splits the heart OF
the man caught unawares. Of these
murders never a word is said, and the
papers are forbidden to refer to them
in the news columns.
