This state of affairs existed down
to the middle of the last century
when II was discovered that science
could prevent these epidemics and the
horror of disease in war could be elm
mated. The Russo Japanese war was
a triumphant vindication for science
as the losses from disease during that
conflict were trifing as compared
the enemy.
Surgeons Prepared.
Britain, France and Germany went
into the present war with a full
knowledge of the scientific needs of
the situation. They knew they had a
tremendous task before them, and
they set about to prevent disease as
we'll as to cure II. These countries
anticipated the probability of an out
break OF typhoid fever and they inocu-
lated thousands of soldiers as a pre-
ventive against its ravages.
Tetanus Bacillus.
They, however, did not foresee that
the soil of France cultivated and en-
riched through many generations
would be a factor to be reckonet with
in the preservation of the hea, h OF

many years that a certain ba terra

liable to infection from the slightest
wounds. In the early part of the
war lockjaw was a common trench
disease caused sometimes by the men
merely scratching themselves with
the entrenching tool. They paid lit
tie attention to these wounds and
went on with their work. If the
wound came in contact with the soil
in few days lockjaw appeared. Many
soldiers died from this disease and

But the lockjaw bacillus was not

was found to be present a group OF
organisms which gave rise to severe
suppurations and often to the So
called gas gangrere." Gangrene is

tuberculosis are trench diseases not
easily overcome. The dampness of
the underground shelters frequently
causes the men to suffer the most ex-
circulating rheumatic pains The only
cure for this is sending the men home,
but even then recovery is slow. Trench
tuberculosis is nearly always fatal.
In cold weather the prevalence of
frost bite is the direct result of stand

Typhus Fever.
Cholera like typhus fever which
ravaged both the trenches and towns

year, Is essentially a dirt disease and
will disappear when the filth is re-

known as "gaol fever" from its prev
alence in prisons. It became gen
eral in the Serbian trenches and soon
spread over the entire country, and
surgeons and men Of science went
from all parts of the world to try to
save the people I ON the scourge. It
was soon discovered that the disease
was carried by insects. and as the
Serbian soldiers in the trenches were
infested with lice the first thing In
be done was TO get rid of these In

M T is a we'll known fact that when
war comes to q nation more SOL
n diers die from disease than from
b bullets. Practically all the great
wars of past ages were carried on in
conditions of dirt and misery and
Nrtvation which today are scarcely to
be found anywhere in the whole
world. The association of famine with
sword and of disease with war was
no myth: these scourges were, in fact,
lndissolubly connected, and war with
put plague and epidemic were I'M
known. 1t is easy in the light of
modern scientific knowledge to realize
how this miserable condition existed.

Boise Payette Lumber company. This
class of labor includes the mill and

The site for these new residences is

ALL MACHINERY INSTALLED.
j. p. Dion of Spokane, who is per
sonally in charge of the construction
of the half million dollar sawmill plant
here, stated that all the machinery in
the mill proper is now installed except
the pipe fittings, which are delayed in
their arrival from the east.
This sawmill plant is one of the lar
gest and most modern in the nation.
Some of the mills features are:
1t is practically fire proof All the
dangerous places in the mill are pro-
tected so that no one may get hurt
| 1t is made as nearly fire proof as is
possible in the construction of a great
plant like this. For instance, at al
places where oil is apt to drip, gal
/ Vanized containers are placed to catch
all the oil drips. From the standpoint
of fire proof sawmill this one is said
to be the best in the country,
The mill is planned so that any pa TT

START WITH CLUTCHES.
A very important feature of the mill
is that any part of it may be stopped
or started with clutches. For instance,
each of the three big band saws has It's
own clutch so that any one of them
may ne stopped or started without at
fecting any other part of the mill,
The mill is provided with compressed
air cleaners to clean the mill without
the usual aid of brooms.
The plant is provided with an cleo
trio lighting system of the most an.
proved type.
Cupboards for the convenience of tn,
laboring men are provided. Each mar
has his own cupboard. This makes ii
unnecessary for him to have his clothes
and his other personal effects scattered
