Meningitis Carriers.
/ The general report that among the
$4,000 OF drafted men injected into
the cantonment in October were
many meningitis carriers, this part
Of the country being known, he said,
to all health officers as having been
forN several years the principal cpl
demic center in the civil poulation
for meningitis.
Con. Gorgas recommends obserya-,
ton camps, the relieving of over
| crowded conditions, the oiling Of.
nearby roads to keep down dust and
the erecting and heating of ambu-
lance sheds to obviate the present
difficulties found in getting the motor
ambulances started during the cold
weather because OF the freezing OF
| the water in the radiators.
During the past month at Camp
Doniphan, where the 35th Guard Di-
Vision is training, there have been
"a admissions from pneumonia with
II deaths; 316 cases Of measles and
| one death; 104 cases Of diphtheria
with one death, and six cases of men
ingitis with four deaths. Overcrowa-
ing is described by the report as the
basic cause. TO properly control the
spread Of these diseases the general
diately removd from the general
| camp With the appearance Of tho
first case Of communicable Diseases
and placed in a separate detention
dition to the observation camp rec

Only Summer Clothing.
Until recently, the general reports
under date Of yesterday, the COM
mand had nothing but summer cloth
ing, which, undoubtedly, had increas-
ed the tendency to pneumonia. Win
ter clothing is now being received
and Issued to the mon.
Many wards in the base hospital
now required for patients are unfin-
ished and the report says this has
caused great embarrassment to the,
hospital authorities. Installation
, OF the sewerage system and neces-
, sary plumbing systems in all build
J, ings were authorized several weeks
! ago, but the work Is at a standstill
now, greatly increasing the difficul-.5
ties in caring for patients.
