Majsr conkIins Says Third Regiment
cIeanest Body Of Young Men He Ever
Examined-Hernia Chief Cause Of
Reflections = Only Sixty Out Of 1910
Rejected From Third Regiment.

Des Moines, July ALL but sixty
out Of the 1.O70 men and officers of
the Third Iowa regiment passed the
physical examination yesterday after
noon and are full-hedged soldiers in
the service Of the national govern
ment.
The rejection numbered only per
cent of the total strength of the regi-
ment.
This is contrasted with predictions
by regular army officers that so per
cent of the national guard in general
would fall on physical examination.
Only Seventy PIucked.
When the men were examined by
officers of the medical corps, seventy
were plucked. These included num-
Der who were very close to the line
under the strictest Interpretation or
the rules, and about ten Of them were
accepted when passed on up to the
head of the guard hospital service and
the federal inspector.
1.-The Third regiment contained the
cleanest body of men I nave ever ex-

evening. "They were not only sur
prisngly free from serious ailments,
but every last man was clearly"
Most of the reflections were due to
deficiencies in height or weight a
number of men were accepted altho
a few pounds under; weight. This was
done in the case Of young men under
20 who had not obtained their full
growth, and in their case a scant half
inch in height was overlooked Also
Hernia the Chief Cause.
OF the men rejected because or
bodily infirmities, hernia was the Chief
cause, and there were few reflections
for varicocele. Minor hernias did not
cause rejection. especially in the case
of men re-enlisting. Defective sight
eliminated several men.
Every physical defect was noted in
making the examination, in order to
guard against future claims for finan-
cial support from the government.
The regiment was entirely free from
heart trouble or affections Of the lungs
or other vital, organs. Venereal disc
eases were also entirely lacking.
AS soon as the examination Of the
Third regiment had been completed
the medical corps started on the Sec
ond regiment and the engineers.
Artillerymen and the First regiment
will be examined today, and the WORK
will probably be completed by tonight
for all organizations now in camp.

| tuberculosis is indeed transmissible to
man and that its ravages are appall-
| ing.
In spite of these facts the propa-
ganda of falsehood continued.
In the state OF Illinois, where the
revelations of the test proved most
disastrous to the owners of diseased
cattle, the cattle men succeeded in in
ducing the legislature to abolish 1t in
the most high handed and unconsti-
tutional manner. Notwithstanding the
fact that June S. 1911, the New Jersey
| supreme court established its legal
standing by handing down the follow
ing opinion:
1T must be conceded that where. as
in this case, the board of health makes
the determination. of the existence of
disease depend upon special method
of diagnosis, that method must be, IL
not the most reliable. as reliable as
any.
The existence of disease is neces-
sarily to some extent matter of
| opinion or inference from established
facts. The most skilful veterinarian
may err. The most reliable symptoms
| may be deceptive, and absolute accu-
racy in diagnosis cannot be looked for.
ITO demand 1t is counsel of per-
fection not adapted to the exigeneies
degree is not attained under the
diagnosis of human disease. even where
| the physician has the advantage of a
| patient able to state subjective symp-
toms and give a history of the COM
| plant. All-that can be fairly required
is that the method of diagnosis should
be well recognized, thoroughly proved,
| and as reliable as any.
This court finds that the tuberculin
| test is the m ost reliable method of
+, diagnosing tuberculosis in cattle now
| known.

upon the testimony in the case before

proved by judicial decision in Mime

more destructive species require three
years to complete the life cycle, but
here are other species which need only

their eggs in the ground that is COW

few weeks, and the young larvae feed
on the dead or living vegetable matter

they burrow deeply into the ground for
the winter. In the Spring they return
to near the surface and feed. 1t is at
this time that they do the greatest dam
