affections predispose to m~eningtti:.'
Probably some supposedly ordinary
colds are abortive attacks of mentn-..
gitis.'' .
For the prevalence Of colds and thus
indirectly Of meningitis Kenwood offers
two explanations: Wet, cold feet and
poor ventilation. No n has devised 81
healthful waterproof boot. Socks are
not ideal. The men who must stand for
days or hours in cold water and mud
suffer foot chill and wet feet. A soldtei1
to be healthy must hav warm, dry
feet. !
The second cause, and probably thal
most important one, is a Nentilation.,

doctrine of fresh air it was found when

gathered out of the millions of Eng-j
lish homes that a large percentage were
accustomed to sleeping in rooms within
closed windows. If they had ever read
about the advantage of sleeping within
open windows they had thought it ap-,,
piled to the other fellow. [
Underground and trench warfare has
made the problem worse. The present
army allowance of 40 a feet OF
floor space per man is enough provid7
ed the windows is kept open. The army
council passed a regulation that in sol1
diers' barracks two diagOnally oppo7
site end windows must be kept open4
This has helped, but it is difficult I'd
enforce it in cold weather. The neces1
stiles require that the men be huddled
in cold quarters often underground

mercuric chloride dressing applied. No
constitutional symptoms resulted"
That is a little worse. but l I'VE seen
a man stung by bees h was worse
affected.
The rattlesnakes encountered weri
called diamond backed. though some Of
them were Texas rattlers and not true
diamond backs. The largest rattlet
seen vas seven and one-half feet long
and had IA rattles and a button. SURF
geon Coughlan treated six cases of rat,
tlesnake bite. All recovered.
Here is the history OF the worst case
A man was bitten on the middle finger
Of the left ham by a RATHER. The fang4
struck the bone. When seen five min-
utes afterward a little blood was oozin0
from the marks. An incision about ono
and a half inches long was made
ounces of blood escaped. The WOund9
were swabbed out with S per cent tine!
ture of iodine. The fingers, hand, ana
forearm were bandaged with wet BIZ
chloride dressing. A t.-.niQuet was
applied to the arm. Once every 20 mtn-
utes it was released and reapplied. the
arm swelled n became notified. Two
doses OF s%trychnine were given. aside
from slight stiffness of the fingers the
patient made an Uninterrupted recOv3
cry
None of these patients bitten by rat-
tleSnakeS was given whisky as q cure.
About this time of the year l write az
article on snakebite. The purposes 81
these articles are to spread the infor-
nation that whisky is not a cure for
snakebite. There is some reason for
thinking that some OF the people who
have died after snakebite have died
from the large quantities Of alcohol
given them (pints n quarts even)j
Another purpose is to allay the wide
spread morbid fear Of snakes, cent?
pedes. tarantulas, scorpions, and Gila
! monsters.

In 1916, 10000 troops were distrib-
uted along the Mexican border from
Brownsville, Tex. to San Diego, Cal.
In this district thare are supposed to
be more venomous snakes and insects
b In n other section of the u
try. What they report in the way of
harmful bites should represent about
h last word in possibilities in this
direction. II they found that the stories
about snake bites were gross exaggera-
ton then you n l can afford to keep
cool IL bitten by a snake OF stung by a
spider.
Dr.. James Coughlan in h Journal of
h American Medical association tells
OF some experiences of the New York
guard. These troops were camped in
the Magic valley region in Texas and in
no part of the country are snakes and
insects larger, more venomous, and
more plentiful. Many of the men were
bitten by scorpions. Some of these
were four inches long. l have read
somewhere that scorpion bites were
fatal. DIR. Coughlan says of scorpion
bites: "A small white area resulted
from the bite which required as a rule
several applications of tincture of 10
dine" Evidently a scorpion bite is lit
tie worse han a wasp sting. but not
much.
The worst spider bites were those of
the tar1ntula. Some of these trantu-
las were five inches long. Now we are
to read of dead men surely. Surgeon
Coughlan says: "They produced white
raised swollen areas about an inch in
diameter with a smarting, singing sen
sation. The earlier bites were treated
with iodine, but later more instant re-
lief was obtained from the use of equal
parts Of spirits of ammonia and water
applied as a wet dressing. No consti-
tutional effects were seen About as
bad as two hornet stings-that is all.
And then there were centipedes. The
largest seen was six inches long. The
bits were incised end drained and a wet

30 God. Our Help in Ages Past" has
now become the British national hymn.
Already before the war. that version of
the Ninetieth Psalm was beginning to at
tain something like his position in the
nation consciousness Isaac Watts, its
author, was born in the year of Mnton's
death. He was the first English nom
conformist to compose hymns worth sing
ing. Some of them are among the great
hymns Of the Christian church. to wit:
Jesus Shall Reign Where'er the Sum-
and when l Survey the Wondrous
Cross" On the Sunday that he died so
suddenly. Matthey Arnold had gone to
hear Ian Maclaren preach in Liverpool.
1t was a sermon on the cross and Watts
hymn was sung at the close. AT lunch

CAMP LIFE AND MENINGITIS.

A. u young men are being gathered
together in groups Of thousands drawn
from every section Of the country, the
following statement Of the public health
service Is important:
For several weeks cerebro spinal
meningitis has prevailed to an unusua
degree in various sections Of the coun-
try. The occurrence Of the disease in
epidemic form al this time Is Of par
ticular Importance. The disease Is one
which frequently gains entrance to and
spreads in encampments of troops"
The statement. published May 4 says:
THE principal recognized foci Of the
disease havNAbeen Philadelphia, Cleve-
land, ST. Ldnis, Hartford and Minne-
apolis. Between January / and April 81
the following cities reported 10 cases or
more: Philadelphia, 2S7; New York,
116: Minneapolis. 1903: Hartford, 81; st.
Louis, 10: Cleveland, Ga; Chicago. 81:
Pittsburgh, As; Detroit, 80; ST. Paul,
"a: Baltimore, 80; Kansas City, 20;
Montclair. "a: Omaha, %: Boston, 20;
providence, 10; Akron, II; Milwaukee.
"a; Kansas City, Kan. 1S: Duluth, III;
Newark. IL: New Haven. IL; Washing
ton. IL: Indianapolis, TO-"
This table takes no account of the
size Of the city: "a cases in Montclair,
N. j., is a much more serious condition
thar 2S7 in Philadelphia. 1t also fails to
take account of the completeness of re-
porting. 1t is much more likely that
the "a cases reported from Montclair
represents all the cases there than 1T is
that there were only 81 cases in Chi
cago. The list also leaves much to be
desired in that it does not tell of rural
conditions except in Minnesota. Besides
the 14S cases in Minneapolis, ST. Paul
n Duluth, there were & cases in
nearly 43 communities and smaller
cities and in towns in that state.
The English have had an undue
amount of meningitis both in civil and
military life since the war began. Ken
wood. one of the leading sanitarians In
Great Britain, says: One cannot but
be struck by the general coincidence OF

Louis Mann's Uniform

When Louis Mann mounts the stage
at the Orpheum as Richard Strauss,
the German composer, in thu war
time comedy, Some Warriors he
will wear a uniform which has been
loaned to him by one OF his cast who
dug it up in one O. the trenches while
fighting with the French army.
One OF the members OF hi, company
is r. Askam. Mr.. Askam, who is
OF French extraction, recently re-
turned to America from France,
where he had been fighting i'll the
French army, and this is his first
stage engagement since he came back.
Mr.. Askam was invaded GU OF the
army after he had been wounded in
the battle of the Somme. During
