Sanitation the Important Thing.


1t is important to note the a the
government takes in guarding the
health Of it's army. The most potent
sanitary force in the world may be
found in the army medical corps. 1t
was the army medical staff that ex-
PEELED the yellow fever from New Or
leans and other southern cities. The
same force made life possible in the
Panama Canal zone and the residents
of Cuba and the Philippines are wit
nesses to the transformation wrought
upon these islands. At Camp Dodge
the first consideration is for the health
Of the men to be stationed there. Not
only has every precaution been taken
in the construction of the building and
the equipment thereof but the environ
ment has been given careful atten-
ton. The privies at every farm home
within the radius Of five townships in
Polk county were condemned by gov
eminent experts. Sanitary closets Of
cement were required, the farmer
furnishing the cement and the sand
and the government experts doing the
work. Screens r required that flies
may be absolutely excluded from these
closets. All manure around barns and
sheds must be treated with chemicals
that flies may not have a breeding
place. These health precautions have
had a most wholesome influence upon
the farmers in the surrounding terri
tory. Many Of them hav eamodernized
their homes, provided all c0nyeniences
and are now independent BE sgoyernr
