KEYSTONE STATE
SENT 12,7O4 MEN
Fourth Infantry Had the Ma
jority Honors of the Mobili-
cation Camp

Official mastering reports show that
1904 National Guardsmen were dis
patched from the Pennsylvania mo-
bilizatton camp to Ell Paso under the
call of President Wilson. This is not
far from the total number furnished
by the Keystone Commonwealth dur
ing, the whole of the Spanish war.
Only one other State has furnished
more and that is New York.
The official figures obtained from
the camp last night when the Eighth
regiment and the hospital troops left
the camp showed 64S officers and 12,-
056 men entrained for the border. Ac-
cording to Ex-Governor Samuel W.
Pennypacker's history of Pennsylvania
this State furnished 592 officers and
1926 men under the first call of the
President in 1898 and supplied 6,370
more to file up regiments. number
of the first men called failed to pass
the physical test. which was not as
stringent, however, as that through
which the Keystone State men now
on the border have undergone.
At Camp Brumbaugh, 1t is estimated
that 14,700 men were at the mobiIiza-
tfon camp so that approximately
seventh failed to pass the surgeons or
declined to enlist. The latter class was
very small. The mobilization has
been highly commended by authori-
ties for its speed, but the delays due to
the unfamiiiarity with government
methods in mastering and the severe
physical examinations caused the divi-
sion to be slow in starting for the
border
The men furnished by organisations
is as follows:

Infantile Disease

about the way to avoid conditions likely

of the disease is not yet known.
DIR. Dixon says:
Infantile paralysis is a disease that
affects the nervous system. 1t often
causes death, and again. the acute
stage frequently subsidies ana leaves
paralysis of one or more of the limbs
that heretofore has often lasted

To-day we do not know what
causes the disease, therefore preven-

must keep the children away from in

fleas, bed bugs, ticks, ants, lice, etc.
