TYPHOID AT
 CAMP, MILE 2O1

Occurrence of typhoid fever at a camp north of Anchorage, an outbreak of which has been predicted in that vii cinjty unless great care was taken to avoid use of polluted water, is com meutcd upon in the following official warning by c. c. Benedict, N. D., san itary officer for the commission.
 That which has been expected has arrived. All summer we have tried to impress upon everybody the i'm portance of proper location of wells and toilets because of the danger that exists on account of flies am dthe prob ability that we will have a number oi employees in various camps who hay, had typhoid fever at some time and still are carrying the organisms ir their bodies, to be discharged and Iat- er picked up and deposited on the foor by flies and then eaten by the well men who will then have the disease
 "That is the usual way in which the disease is spread Of course, it may be spread through water but the organisms must first be deposited in the water and that is done by sew age being thrown into the water sup ply directly or because the toilet is located above the well and drains into the well. It is absolutely necessary to take these organisms into the di- gcstive tract before you can get this disease. After a person has been ill with typhoid the organisms may con- tnue to live in the bowels for years. Some cases have been proved to have carried them as long as forty-seyen years. but it is commonly found that they will be carried for ten years. Sometimes they will disappear within six months after complete recovery. It is from these carriers and neglect ed cases that we get more cases. If every patient were properly treated and the discharges properly disinlect- ed, there would be absolutely no more typhoid fever in existence. When we know the cause of a disease and its method of spread as well as we know this one, there is no excuse for it's existence but neglect,
 "One thing that everybody can do to help control it is to use every means possible to exterminate the fly, as that is the commonest means of spread. An garbage should be destroyed inn

SEEK LOGGERS FOR SERVICE
 IN FRANCE

SPOKANE, Aug. 9, (By MaiD.- A regiment of trained woodsmen be- tween the ages of 19 and 40 for early service in France is now being re cruited among the loggers and woods men of Eastern Washington, North ern Idaho and Western Montana, ac- cordiug to Roscoe Haines, supervisor of the St, Joe National Forest, For est supervisors have been authorized to act as recruiting officers for the proposed new regiment, and satisfact- ory progress in securing men is be- ing made, so that it is expected that the full complement of recruits, six companies of 164 men each, will be. secured within the next two weeks.
 This regiment will be a part of the American Engineering Corps, which will aid in transportation and other engineering work, and is being organ ized because of the opportunity for service by this country in doing work incidentally to the war.
 Henry S. Graves, chief of the U. s. forest reserve, is now in Paris, hav- ing proceeded there under instructions to learn on the ground in advance just what conditions will need to be met, what equipment will be called for. and how extensively the services of Amer ican Ioggers and sawmill men can be utilized to advantage.
 Forester Graves has been granted a leave of absence from his position at the head of the forest service, and has received the commission of ma- jor in the Reserve Engineer Corps
 For Early Service
 One of the staff officers of the regi- ment, Captain Harrington Moore, is with Mir. Graves for the purpose of arranging for the prompt assumption of the specific duties to which this regiment will be assigned when it is landed in France.
 While organized on military lines, the work of the regiment will be .n- dustriaD not combatant. 1t will opcr ate iu the woods behind the armies, getting out timber, ties and lumber required for military purposes. Part of the work, however, may fall with in the danger zone.
 The regiment will be made up of picked woodsmen. Service in it wl'' give such men a chance to take part in tre war for which thelr life and training have peculiarly fitted them. For the logging crews, skilled axmcn. sawycrs, tie hewers, skidders, team sters, and blacksmiths are wanted Millwrights, sawyers and engineers are needed to man portable sawmills which will form a part of the equip ment. Helpers are required for the various activities connected with the wood operations and the maintenance of large camps.

Save the Roads.

Last fall plans were made for
a large amount of new road con-
struction and the reconstruction
of many which were pretty well
worn out or in need of more dur
able surfacing. The cost of
maintaining the latter roads was
so great that it was economical
to reconstruct them and thus cut
down the annual cost of keeping
them in good condition. The
summer is half gone and a con-
siderable part of these improve,
ments has not been undertaken
because of labor and material
conditions. 1t is impracticable
to carry out the 1917 road pro-
gram in these localities. That
is no reason, however, for allow
ing the old roads to become i'm
passabie.
1t is good reason on the other
hand, for straining every re-
source to maintain them in as
serviceable condition as possible.
When conditions become read
justed, as they surely will be
soon, the really important roads
of the country will have the at
tentiOn due them, and the cost
of reconstruction will be reduced
if the old roads have not been
allowed to go to pieces. 1t is
not the kind of work which is at
tr9ctive to the road builder,
whose joy lies in building some
thing new, in creative endeavor.
But it is the kind of work that
is needed. The road builder
must be content to work with
what he has to keep the old
roads in service even though his
neighbors criticise him for not
accomplishing the impossible
task of maintaining them in "a
good condition as new roads,
just as they are criticising ev-
erybody these days who is do
ing his bit for the public.

corn stalks 20 best advantage the
corn has to be cut and shocked
and let stand until cured when
the ears are removed and the
remainder is shredded and put
in the barn, is stacked or fed to
the stock from the shocks. AS
this is a new practice for most
of US it will have to be begun on
a small scale until the art is
learned. Corn that is cut early
while the weather is hot must be
pretty ripe. In the hot climate
of the South probably not more
than a third to a fourth of the
blades sh )uld still be green. 1t
is an advantage to start the
shock and cut on one side until
the whole field has been gone
over in this way. Then the
corn on the other side of the
shock is cut and it is finished.
This allows the blades to dry out
inside the shock. Just before
frost the corn can be cut some
what greener as the weather is
cooler. 1t is the warm moist
weather that frequently occurs
in September and early October
that spoils the corn so badly. -

Why We Are al War.

Some people think this world
is big enough to hold anything.
1t is not. Any number of things
could be mentioned which it has
not room for. Certainly it is not
big enough to hold the nation the
United States of America aspires
to be and the nation the German
Empire aspires to be.
This nation is, as Lincoln said,
a republic dedicated 20 the prop
osition that all men are free and
equal. Despite all its failures
and shortcomings it aspires to
develop along these lines-to be-
come a more democratic nation
as it becomes a greater nation;
to lead other nations, by the
force of its example, to become
free and strong and self-sustain-
ing. With all It's record of wars
and conflicts, it's ideal is peace.
The one thing it values more
than peace is justice.
The German Empire is the last
great stronghold of the doctrine
of divine rights" of the belief
that some men are appointed by
God to rule over the rest of man.
kind. 1t aspires, even as Caesar
and Genghis Khan and Napoleon
aspired, to world domination. 1t
is based on a belief in force.
For two generations it has subor-
dinated everything to military
efficiency. The right of the Ger
man Empire to dictate to other
nations is an accepted part of its
creed The use of any measure
of force or brutality that will en-
able it to do so is openly pro-
claimed as national policy.
Two such nations could not
continue to exist and to grow in
a world no larger than ours. A
clash was inevitable. The world
cannot remain half democratic
and half autocratic.

The Cradle Of the Red Cross.

Surgery and medicine did not
come into use on the battlefields
before the last decade of the 18th
century. Before that time
wounded soldiers were either
carried to the rear by their COM
rades or LETT unattended to and
exposed until the fighting was
over. Surgical assistance did
not reach the battlefield until the
day after the engagement or
even later, and for many of the
wounded it was then too late.
In 1892 Baron Dominique Jean
Larrey, of the French army, in
troduced his system of ''ambu-
lance volantes," or flying field
hospitals, capable of moving rap
idly from place to place. They
gave primary surgical treatment
and removed the wounded quick
ly from the field. Napoleon
warmly supported Larrey, and
the system was quickly brought
to a high state of efficiency in
the Grand Army.
The actual founder of the Red
Cross society was Jean Henri Du-
nant, philanthropic citizen of
Geneva, Switzerland. On June
IA, 1859, he CHANGED to be pres
ent at the battle of Solferino and
wss an eye witness to the vast
amount of unnecessary suffering
that resulted from the inability
of the regular surgical corps for
the thousands of wounded who
lay upon the field. Three years
later he published a book on his
experiences at Solferino and ad-
vocated an international conven
ton to provide for the aiding of
the wounded in war. This con-
vention, which took place at &C.
neva in 1863, neutralized the sur
gical corps of hostile armies and
volunteer socities caring for the
wounded AS a compliment to
Switzerland the Swiss flag in re-
versed colors, i. e.. red cross on
a white field, was to be adopted
universally and worn on arm
bands by all members of the neu-
trial stats. Geneva has been

society. From switzerland.

Keep a can of one of the coal

Spray the hogs occasionally.
Disinfect the stables now and

while.
Of course, there are other pre-
cautions to be observed. Don't
compel the hogs to walIow in
and drink out of filthy mudholes.
Nor the cows, either. Keep the
manure cleaned out of all stables

Don't Sell The Cows.

Prof. ]. ]. Hooper, of the Ken
lucky Experiment station, calls
attention tothe necessity of con-
serving the supply of live stock
and especially of dairy cows.
Of all animals the cow is the
most economical producer of hu-
man food. A good cow will pro-
duce in year as much edible
food as is contained in the bodies
of two l, 200 pound steers. From
100 pounds of digestible nutri-
ents in her feed the cow will pro-
duce eighteen pounds OF solids
for human food. This will not
all be utilized, however, if the
skim milkjor the buttermilk is
wasted.
Big prices are now being offer
ed for milch cows. They should
moi be sold however. No good
cow should go to the butcher un-
til the war is over. The num-
Der is none too great now, and if
the war continues for two or
three years the cow will be more
urgently needed than ever. =
