INSUFFICIENT CLOTHING
CAUSE OF MUCH ILLNESS

Washington, Dec. 19.-Surgeon
General Gorgas, in a letter to the
chief of staff of the army today, de-
clares that overcrowding and insult
ficient heavy clothing for soldiers is
responsible for the extent of sickness
at Camp Doniphan, Ok. In the last
month the camp has had seventy
four cases OF pneumonia with eleven
details, 316 cases measles with one
death, 104 cases of diphtheria with
one death and six cases of menin-
gifts with four deaths.
At Camp Funston, in the Eighty
ninth division, there have been for
ty-three deaths from pneumonia with
1879 cases, and twenty-five from men
nights, with seventy cases.
This indicates the most serious
condition as far as infection from
and pneumonia is concern
ed" General Gorgas said. LAS en-
phasizing the situation, / call atten-
ton to the fact that they had eighty
four deaths from all causes when the |
normal death rate of such a COM
nand should be about twelve"
With the exception of Funston,
none of the camp base hospitals has
,een completed, General Gorgas says,
md this is handicapping the medical
,fficers in treating patients. He
ecommends the rushing of this work,
the installation of nee
ssary plumbing.

II the fire bell should ring would
you run and stop 1t or go and help

is a danger signal as much as a fire

This can nearly always be done by
taking Chamberlain's Cough Rem

most beneficial results. 1t is espe-
cially valuable for the persistent
cough that so often follows a bad
