MICHIGAN GUARD NOTES
Gen. Kirk Gives Stringent Orders to
Guard Against Typhus Near
Michigan Troop.

FL Paso, Tex.-Discovery of a case
of typhus fever in the city Jail, which
originated in the home of Mexican
family a block from two battalions
OF the Thirty-third Michigan regiment
has led to stringent orders by Gen.
Kirk, tending toward protection of
the health OF Michigan soldiers.
Many think the antitoxin treat
ment given at Grayling, and later at
FL Paso,. is a protection against ty-
phus. This is said not to be the
case. The origin of typhus germ
never has been discovered. and con-
sequently there is no serum to COM
bat it.
The order issued by General Kirk
are to the effect that no more laun-
dry work shall be done for the men
by Mexican women, a custom which
has been common in the past; no
more Mexican bootblacks or news
boys shall be allowed in camp; all
stray dogs shall be removed from
camp; men are ordered to keep
away from Mexican families. Since
coming here many of the men have
visited with Mexicans near the
camp. hoping thereby to obtain a
knowledge OF Spanish or to learn
their peculiar customs. This is to be
done away with.
