Just as coal, when it burns, leaves

the food and drink taken day after day
leaves in the alimentary canal a GER

YUAN BUILDING GREAT
ARMY CAMP AT CAPITAL

Peking.-President Yuan Shi-Kai,
emperor elect, is building a great mil
itary camp near Honan-fu, the capital
of his native province Honan. which is
causing his enemies much apprehen-
sion.
Charges are made that he is devel
oping this great fortified camp as a
means of Strengthening his hold upon
the monarchy and desires TO nave II
as a place of refuge, after the fashion
of medieval Chinese emperors
The great camp is three miles west OF
the city of Honan-fu, and located near
the river. 1t covers two square miles
of land. Two thousand men are at
work erecting walls and buildings in
preparation for the accommodation OF
soldiers. The work has continued for
FIVE months, but is only about one fifth
completed.
Army officials have stated that the
new camp viii shelter 10000 troops. but
newspapers. out Of sympathy for the
administration, say the camp Is to &C
commodate 10000 men.
The barracks are arranged with
streets 80 feet wide between them and
at intervals there are kitchens and
store houses. Open spaces are left in
various parts OF the camp, in which
groups Of 500 men may drill. In add
ton, there is a great drill ground pro-
vided for larger units.
Honan-fu Is a strategic position Of
great importance. 1t Is located on the
Lo river, in the most important pass,
affording easy communications between
the east. and west. 1t is connected by
rail with the line between Hankow and
Picking and projected railways will give
IL connections far to the east and west.
Consequently, Honan-fu will be the
natural place from which to distribute
troops into any part of northern China.
It is about half way between the CAPT.
tai and Hankow, the commercial me-
tropoIis Of Central China, located on
the Yangtsze river.
Unfriendly papers are all speculat-
ing as to whether Yuan Shi-Ka1 In
tends to make Honan-fu the actual
capital Of China. For over 1900 years
the ancient city was the site of the
dragon throne, and 1t is rich in tradi-
ton. Formerly Honan-fu was called
Lohyang, and it was the capital of
China under the Chow dynasty from
ITO B. C. 1t was from that city that
Emperor Ping TT sent a deputation to
the west to discover the great sage who
had arisen, and the deputation re-
turned, bringing BuoS=.ist books and
Buddhist priests from India.
Soothsayers regard Honan-fu as a
location upon which heaven smiles.
When the capital was first located
there by the Chow dynasty, the oracles
were consulted and pronounced the sit
nation ideal. They said the inheritance
would last for 80 generations, or total
of TOO years. The dynasty really lasted
for 500 years, or 80 generations.

HEALTHY COUNTIES.

The North Carolina department OF
health stimulates competition between
the counties Of that state. In every
bunch of press articles which they is
sue is at least one bulleting commend
ing some county officer for doing some
one thing better than his competitors.
Those who read these press articles
have learned to expect something or
accomplishment from the competitors
among the North Carolina counties.
A recent number Of the Journal of
the American Medical association has
an article by the health officer OF New
Hanover county which should be widely
read. New Hanover county people want
to be healthy. In five years they re-
duced their general death rate from 70
to 10; their death rate Of children I'M
der from 1923 to Ala, Of diarrhea
from All to 80; of typhoid from 100 to
8.
The United States public health ser
vice made two sanitary surveys Of New
Hanover county, one in 1914 and the
other in 1915. At the first survey each
home in the rural districts Of the coun-
ty was scored on score card and the
owner was told when his premises
were bad and how they could be i'm
proved The survey in 1915 showed
that sanitary conditions in the homes
had improved As per cent.
A study of disease to New Hanover
showed that as sanitation of the homes
improved all diseases except one les
sened. That one was pellagra. The
pellagra rate was 1859 in 1913. 1t had
risen to 64.6 in 1915. AS the result OF
these surveys and other studies made
by the city and county health depart
ment, Mr.. Nesbitt concluded % there
is no relation between soil pollution
and pellagra, and (2) close supervision
of all cases, disinfection, fumigation,
isolation and the other usual means Of
controlling infection have no in
fluence on the amount and spread Of
pellagra.
Why did the amount of pellagra in
crease in spite Of. the improvement in
general sanitation and the efforts of
the health authorities to control the
disease? DR.. Nesbit's conclusion is
that It was due to business depression,
lack Of employment, a limited market
for products, and increased price of
food, with consequent increase Of pow
| erty."
The years 1912 and 1913 were years
| Of prosperity in Wilmington and New
Hanover county. Everybody had work
| Money was plentiful and food was 20
per cent cheaper than in 1915. Then
| came the war in Europe. The bottom
| fell out of the cotton market. Times
were hard. Many people had to do
| without lean meat and live largely on
cornmeal, fat meat and molasses. II
| was in consequence Of these economic
| changes that pellagra had increased in
| New Hanover county since August
1914.
