TWO SUCCESSFUL FIGHTS.

In California and more recently in
New Orleans, plague-infected rats got
ashore and the heas upon them COM
municated plague to human beings.
In both these cases the state and local
health authorities called on the Pub,
lie Health Service to conduct the fight
to prevent spread of the disease. In
BOTH Instances. the Federal disease
fighters were successful. Undoubt-
eddy the country owes the suppression
Of threatened epfdenntcs of this most
fatal of pestilences to the govern
ment's corps of health defenders.
This service has been much ex-
banded under President Wilson and
includes manifold duties of the high
est Importance. 1t affords citizens of
INVASION of American territory by the
unfortunates who are crippled in mind
or afflicted with communicable d.

A NEW SERVICE,

Grated in the old way. nearly II 900
people were rescued from peril and
property amounting to over $1I,0OO,-
900 in value was saved.
The reorganization insures more eff
ficient administration along military
lines. Retirenent provisions are in
troduced which will develop a higher
standard Of personnel both among
men and officers.
At every danger point and thickly
populated place along the Atlantic
coast, the Gulf of Mexico, the Pacific
coast, Alaska and the Great Lakes,
the new Coast Guard is on constant
watch The work is done from both
shore stations and cruising cutters
and involves a multitude of activities.
The latter now include the ice pa
troll in the North Atlantic, by which
all vessels having wireless are warned
of the location of dangerous ice:
warnings to vessels in danger; medf-
cal attention to sick and injured; re-
covery of bodies cast up by the
waters; aiding vessels in distress; de-
struction and removal of wrecks, der
eIicts and other vessels dangerous to
navigation; protection Of the customs
revenue; enforcement of the auaranz
tine and neutrality laws; suppression
of mutiny on merchant vessels; pro-
lection of game, seals and other fish

Low Score When Indiana
Meets Quakers.

Despite the overwhelming defeat at
the hands of the husky Wabash Quin-
tet last Friday, Coach Whiteside Is
anticipating great improvement in
the work of the Earlham squad when
it meets Indiana university at the
Coliseum Friday evening. The Quak-
ers have been defeated four times this
season and have won but one game,
but in spite of this fact the enthusiasm
at the college has not bene crushed
and an effort will be made Friday
night to take the university men into
camp.
All the dope is against the Quakers
SO that even q close score will mean
virtually a victory for them. Johnson
is still out Of the game and will not
play this week, although he may be
able to get in the game next week. All
the other players are in excellent ocn
dition.
Julian Dunbar, the Centerville play
er, who suffered broken ankle over
month ago, will probably be out OF
the game all season, according to his
statement today. He is able to walk
about with the use of cane but the
physician does not believe that he
will be able to stand the strenuous
strain within at least month.
