him Mexican senorita for souver-

he had to dig railroad tunnel to get
him.
Frank Vaughn is growing little

feels more like chasing Mexicans with
them, that they will be great pro-
lection against bullets.

fore Gen. Funston last Thursday. It

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
ave learned to expect something OF
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 IS; their death rate of children un-
der 5 from 1,123 to 474, Of diarrhea
from All to so; of typhoid from 100 to
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 a score card and the
owner was told when his premises
were bad and how they could be i'm

that sanitary conditions in the homes
had improved AS per cent.
A study Oh 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 1869 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 Cd there
is no relation between soil pollution

Why did the amount of pellagra in

that it was due to business depression.

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 mis- nolu upon
the monarchy and desires to nave 1t
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, n 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-flrth
completed.
Army officials have stated that the
new camp ,,:ll shelter $1,000 troops, but
newspapers. out Of sympathy. for the
administration, say the camp is to ac-
commodate 10000 men.
The barracks are 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 addi-
ton, there is a great drill ground pro-

1t is about half way between the capt.

tropolis of Central China, located on
the Yangtsze river.
Unfriendly papers are all speculat-
ing as to whether Yuan Shi-Kai in
! tends to make Iionan-fu the actual
, capital of China. For over 1900 years
| the ancient city was the site of the
! dragon throne, and it is rich in tradi-
, ton. Formerly Honan-fu was called
Lohyang, and it was the capital OF
