U. s. Best at Bomb THROWING.

Port Royal, S. C.-Amerlcans are
l%atently the best bomb and grenade

of waging wonderful trench warfare I'm
case OF hostllitles, say United States
marine corps officers in charge Of re-
cruit training at this place.
The average American youth early
learns to throw a baseball with speed
and accuracy, and It Is because OF that
we as a nation are especially fitted to
wage the modern war Of the trenches.
Baseball Is encouraged at all our sta
lions and the skill displayed by ma

bomb and grenade throwing practice is
really remarkable" said Drill Sergeant

Joliet, m.-Of the multiple curses
Of prison life tuberculosis has
been considered far from the least.
Convicts developed or contracted II
during their term, and when dis
charged carried 1t out into the world
with them.
1t is the "hOary specter that haunts
and cOntaminBtes the old-time cell
blocks common to many Of our famous
penal Institutions" says the Joliet
Prison Post of Illinois, which presents
an example Of the new order of things
in the model hospital Of the state pris-
On of Tennessee. The article is sum
married in the Literary Digest.
Since the first penitentiary was built
in the latter state, more than a CEN
fury ago, the writer informs us, thou
sands have died within the walls from
transmitted the germs to their fami-
lies and associates. Thus innocent
and guilty have suffered together, hav-
ing battled feebly and futilely in
their ignorance OF the first principles
Of sanitation, and have died." Con
ditions gradually became so menac-
ing that in 1915 the state legislature
passed Il bill appropriatlng $4,000 for
the erection of Il tuberculosis prison
hospital, and by this act the old sys-
tea was wiped out, foI-
Bad Times Past.
The time was past when the sick
and healthy were placed together
within narrow cells. The time was
past when a term of years in the state
prison carried with it a sentence to
almost certain death, to Il fight against
overwhelming odds with the inhu-
manity of n system that weakened the
most robust; Il system that prepared
in a most subtle way the human body
for the tentacles of the prison octO-
pus-the great white plague. No
longer was the state prison to remain
Il living death. Inmates of the state
prisons were to be treated as human
beings.
Ten acres were staked out. Ten
acres ADJOINING the prison walls, Dut
as far as possible from the clang of
the entrance gates. Ten acres as far
away as possible from the stone
tagged corridors of the main prison,
but yet to be a part of it, for along
the line of stakes another wall arose.
There were no factories within the
new Enclosure, there were no concrete
sidewalks that marked the path of the
inmates from their s%teel-barred sleep
ing quarters to the doors Of the man
u%facturing plants or to the stone steps
of the dining halls.
"And in the middle of the lot arose
the hospital building, constructed
along the most approved lines of a
modern hospital structure. Erected
in the shape of a high H. it was
planned to give the inmates a maxi
mum Of fresh air, recognized as the
most important weapon in the fight
for the cure of the disease. There is
nothing fancy or ornate about it. 1t

There is considerable curiosity as
to the use the organization intends
making of this information. One OF
the members stated this afternoon
that the state organization had re-
quested the information but that it
would also probably be put to some
local use. The task of copying the
records is a huge one and has not yet
been completed, However, enough
progress has been made, the ladies
state to show that the shipments are
on the increase, Also they have been
able to learn who the habitual users
of liquor are. Since the middle of
July there has been but little alcohol
shipped in. the druggists having re-
fused to sell it on affidavit about that
time.

SNYDER ROOMING HOUSE IS BADLY
DAMAGED IN EARLY MORNING FIRE

The rooming house of Mr. and Mrs.
John snyder, S1S south Main street.
was badly damaged by fire early this
morning. Fire broke out in the
dwelling about 12:45 a. m, and II
was only through tn splendid work OF
the fire department that further
damage to adjacent homes was pre-
vented.
Miss Leona Kreuger, an occupant
OF the house, was carried out of a
burning room upstairs by Driver
Harry Minnis and Fireman Walter
Freeman,
The fire was first discovered by
Miss Alice Doane. S17 south Main.
Miss Doane, whose room faces the
Snyder house, was awakened by a
noise similar to an explosion. and at
the same time a light hlazed like al
meteor and burst through the win
dows. Miss Doane sent in an alarm
to the department and Roscoe N
Doane awakened Mr.. and Mrs. Sny-
der. By this time the fire was creep
