the southwestern division, after leav- ing Nogales, l observed a practice at some of the camps that did not prevail in the camp of the Alabama brigade, and that was, during the day rolling up the sides of the tents that the air might circulate thoroughly. The failure to adopt this precaution may have been re- sponsible for some of the sickness.
 "The base hospital is provided with 26 nurses, and there were many vacant cots. All the serious cases of sickness are sent to this hospital as soon as the disease deeviops and they have the same facilities for the care or the sick that we find in the well regulated infirmaries of this section. I inspected the tents in different regiments and talked with the enlisted men. In every instance they stated that the covering and clothing furnished them was ample.
 Tents were well walled up and ap- peared comfortable.
 There has been much said about the exposure occasioned by the hike to Tucson being responsible for the pneu- rnonia and influenza which developed. There were two regiments taken on this hike, but the greatest amount of sick ness occurred in the regiment that did not take this trip. The sickness prevail it's crest in the Thirteenth, since which time conditions have been gradually inn proving, there being nearly one hundred cases less in the hospitals on the 17th than the 18th. A large part of this de- crease was in the contagious diseases, such as measles and humps, but there had also been a decided decrease in the number of pneumonia cases, commencirg with January.

LONGWEW, TEX. MAN CAN NOW WORK AS
 GOOD AS ANYBODY
Wries Tanlac Company That He Is Now Gaining Five
 Pounds a Week

One of the strongest evidences of the rapidly growing popularityyof Tanlac and of the wonderful results it is accom- plishing is the large number of letters that are being received daily from well known men and women throughout the south.
 Scarcely day passes that scores of letters are not received from grateful users of Tanlac and their statements are indeed remarkable. Among the number recently received Is the following letter from William Breed of Longview, Tex which is published word for word, just as it was written:
 Longview Tex, January B, 1917.
 To whom it may concern: On November 9 I bought one bottle of Tanlac and commenced taking same according to di- rections. I weighed only 135 pounds. In 10 days I gained seven pounds and I am gaining at the rate of five pounds a week and weigh 155 pounds at the pres ent time. Tanlac beats any medicine that have ever taken to build up a run down system. I would not take $100 for what it has done for me. It is the best medicine that I have ever taken for ca tarrh of the head and I have tried sev- eral different kinds of catarrh medicines. My catarrh is nearly gone, also my stomach trouble, of which I have been suffering for more than 20 years, has al- most disappeared and I give all praise to your great medicine When I com menced taking TanIac I could not do a days work but now I believe I can do as much hard work as any man. Very truly. WILLIAM BREED.
 Longview, Tex, R. F. D. No. z.
 Tanlac is sold in Birmingham exclu- sively by Eugene Jacobs drug store and Patton-Pope Drug Co.,; in Ensley by D. w. Morris Drug Co.,; in Bessemer by Pegram-Patton Drug Co.,; in Pratt City by Gale Drug Co.,, and in North Birming- ham by Walker Drug Co-Adv.

WOMAN STRUCK AND
 INJURED BY AUTO

Miss Cmylle Worthy, 23o31s Fifth ave- nue. north, was struck and seriously in- jured yesterday about 6SO p. m., by an unidentified automobile, at Fifth avenue and Twenty-twird street. The injured woman was picked up and rushed to the Hillman hospital in a private automo- bile.
 The driver of the automobile, who is thought to have been negro, never stopped. The police department was mo- tified and an arrest is expected within the next few hours.
 Authorities stated at the Hillman late last night that Miss Worthy had little chance for recovery, provided her injuries were as serious as at first announced. An X-ray will be made to determine whether or not her skull was fractured. She has been in semi-conscious condi- tion since the accident.
 According to eyewitnesses of the ac- cident, Miss Worthy had just stepped off the curbstone to cross the street when the automobile whirled around the corner and struck her

dreaded disease and the causes pro ducing it was of chief concern.
 CONTRIBUTING CAUSES

There may be several things which contribute to this condition. In study ing the records I found that a large proportion of the cases were from one district in the state. It may be local health conditions existing in this par ticular section was responsibles for weak resisting power against certain diseases.
 The removal of these men from 8 low altitude to that of a high one, such as exists at Nogales, which has an elevation of $500 feet may cause malaria in the system to become &C., tive and produce conditions favorable to the pneumonia germ
 The great variation in the temper ature during "A hours may also con- tribute to this result The daily varia tons during November would average around 40 degrees, with a maximum variation of 52 degrees. The minimum temperature for this month was 20 degrees below zero and the maximum 90 degrees, which occurred on the first
 'Ihe topography of the camp site was favorable, in fact more so than any camp which I visited. There is only one other station, so far as I could ascertain, that suffered from pneumonia to the extent of the Alabama brigade, and that was the Arkansas regiment, located at Dem- ing, New Mexico Their percentage of sickness and mortality was greater than that suffered at Nogales.
