Leggings
Worn by United States Marines
Protect Them from Trop-
ical Disease.

WASHINGTON, April 2.-The
stout leggings worn by members of
the United States marine corps are
not purely decorative adjunct 70
thier very natty uniforms. as popu-
larly supposed by civilians. but are
a protection for the men against trop-
ical diseases while in foreign service,
naval surgeons say.
Many of the most dangerous tropi-
cal diseases are transmitted by the
bites of insects. Among these are
malaria, yellow fever, bubonic plague,
hookworm, elephantiasis and tropical
ulcer. Fleas and mosquitoes are the
prime carriers and they make their
flrst attack upon the ankles, thence
working their way over the whole
body.
The leggings worn by the United
States marines afford splendid pro-
lection to the ankles against fleas,
MOSQUITOES and infected dirt.
