ANNOUNCE LARGE BUDGET
Kansas viii Need $4,000, 900 During
the Next Two Years, Auditor
Davis Report Shows.

Topeka.-KanSaS institutions and
departments need 1917 million dollars
for new buildings and expenses in the
next two years. w. E. Davis, state
auditor, has made his final budget
for the legislature, and it provides for
that amount as the actual needs of
the state for two years. That is an
increase of slightly more than one
million dollars over the appropria-
tiOns made by the last legislature.
The auditor urges some increases be
made in wages and salaries of state
employees and the high prices for foods
and clothing make necessary larger
funds for the support of the institu-
tions.
The auditor also urges the state
schools and hospitals be given new
buildings to fill the needs of these in
stitutions. The total building appro-
priations recommended equal q mil
lion dollars. The buildings which the
auditor says are needed are:

cheering and physics department,

when Governor Capper sent out plea
for funds for the benefit of the fam
lilies of the men who lost their lives

Little Girl, Left Alone, Plays With

Fairtield.-After a search lasting since early in September, State Po- liceman Frank Virelli found and placed under arrest Frank and Elsie Smith of Fairfield ,who were held re- sponsible by Coroner J. J. Phelan for the death by burning of F'reda Smith, five years old, at their home, Septem- Der last. Mrs. Smith had gone to Hartford to spend Labor Day, and Frank Smith had left the little girl alone at the house while he came to Bridgeport to buy some clothes for her. ..hS.,
 While in Bridgeport he became in- toxicated and was arrested. The lit- tie girl went to the home of a neigh bor.-&where she was given a break fast. and then returned to her own home, and in playing with matches, set fire to a couch. and was fatally burned before the flames could be cxtinGuiShcd.
New Britain herald., 1917-12-08

Bath and lavatory waste water Is not allowed to collect in pools. 0ar- bage is removed or burned on tho spot as fast as 1t accumulates. Horse
 manure is burned daily. The lines where the horses are picketed must
 be swept daily and burned over with crude oil once a week. to prevent the
 breeding of flies. Latrines are fly-
 tight, and are burned out or other-
 wise sterilized daily, the buildings be-
 ing scrubbed daily with soap and
 water, and disinfected at least twice
 weekly.
 "These are the minimum require ments for personal cleanllnese-batn at least twice weekly; hands washed before each meal: teeth brushed once a day; underwear changed frequent ly; bedding and clothing stunned and tents aired daily: tents frequently struck, to sun the sites"
 Every man in the army is given Q thorough examination every two weeks by a medical officer. There Is a sick call every morning and any
 man who is indisposed, no matter how trivial may be his ailment. is sent 1 to the doctor. No chances are taken. l Despite all these precautions there has been sickness in the camps, but 1 the percentage is said to be below that in peace times. Measles have ] been prevalent in some camps where l the men mostly were recruited or ] selected from rural communities. l The type has been mild. however. and fatalities have boen few. With | the approach of the winter months some cases of pneumonia developed. l but not to an unexpected or alarming extent. There have been only g. few cases of tuberculosis. Every effort Is made to keep those affected with tuberculosis from the camps and only
 in rare instances do they escape the
 watchful medical examiner. Social
 cred among the men of the National army particularly. They have been
 or are being rapidly eradicatpd, how ever, as succeeding medical reports disclose.
 Viewed from every angle, according to one of the high officers of the
 medical inspection force, health con-
 ditions in all the camps are most sat-
 isfactory. That there will be some
 sickness and some deaths, is. of
 course, expected. There is no fear.
 however, of serious epidemics such
 as devastated the camps in 1898.
 Discipline and sanitation, together
 with the measures of prevention,
 are relied upon to return the men to their homes. as Secretary Baker said,
 strengthened and stimulated in body
 and mind.'
