Nov. 7, 1918.
Dear Mother and Father and all:
AS have few minutes to
myself I'll drop you a few lines if l
am not, bothered too much.
We were taken to Winchester and
shown the sights this afternoon.
We were taken through the Win
chester Cathedral, and il sure is
some old building. They tell Us it
was built before the time of Christ
and it took four hundred years to
complete it. They also took US to
the old west gate which was built
by the Romans and the first English
Parliament building which contains
the round table used by King Ar
thur and his knights of the round
table. Take it all through this
Winchester is fairly old village as
it dates back to the days of the
Romans. Well, after we had seen
all this we liked back to camp and
had beans for supper. Now. all
that was interesting but not so
much as little town back in the
States that l know of. sure
would enjoy letter from home but
| don't look for one for some time
yet.
Well, Dad, it won't be long be-
fore we can talk over the things
have seen over here, and am not
going to miss any chances on get
ting back. | have seen all want

chance at France yet.

stuff the censor will let through but

ease reportabIe. In New York city,
where reporting has been in force for
many years, over $4,000 cases of tu-
berculOsis are registered with the De-
partment of Health. Those familiar
with the situation believe that the adj
ditiOn of unrecogniZed and unreported
cases would make the number nearer
10000. The very careful health sur
vey conducted during the past two
years in birmingham, Mass, revealed
200 cases of tuberculosis in a popula-
ton of approximately $4,000. If these
proportions hold true for the United
States as a whole they would indicate
that about one in every hundred per-
sons is tuberculous. Each Of these
constitutes a source of danger to be
guarded against"
What to Do.
In his statement to the public Sur
geon General Blue points out how
those who have had influenza should
protect themselves against tuberculo-
sis. Gall who have recovered from in
fuenza," says the Surgeon General,
amined by competent physician. In
fact, it is desirable to have several ex-
aminatiOnS made a month apart. Such
examinations cannot be made through
the clothing nor can they be carried
out in two or three minutes. If the
lungs are found to be free from tuber-
culOsis every effort should be made to
1ZnO ha
right living, good food and plenty of
fresh air."
Danger Signs.
The Surgeon General warned espe-
cially against certain danger signs,
such as decline" and "cOlds which
hang on"
These, he explained, were often the
beginning of tuberculosis eff you do
not get we'll promptly, if your cold
seems to hang on or your health and
strength decline, remember that these
are often the early signs Of tuberculo-
sis. Place yourself at once under the
care of competent physician. Tuber-
culosis is durable in the early stages.
Patent Medicines Dangerous in Tuber-
culoSiS.
"Above all do not trust in the mis-
leading statements of INSCRIPTIONS
patent medicine takers There is no
specific medicine for the cure of tuber-
culosis. The money spent on such
medicines is thrown away; it should
be spent instead for good food and de-
cent living"

Washington, D. C.-(Special) -Ac-
cording to a report made to the United
States Public Health Service, the cpl
demic of influenza in Spain has al
ready caused an increase in the preva-
lence and deaths from pulmonary tu-
berculosis. A similar association be-
tween influenza and tuberculosis was
recently made by Sir Arthur News
holme the chief medical officer Of the
English public health service, in his
analysis of the tuberculosis death rate
in England.
In order that the people Of the Unit
ed States may profit by the experience
Of other countries Surgeon General

UNCLE sam TO QUEER
ENEMY GAS ATTACKS
Effective Masks and Training of
Soldiers Are Factors.

The United States army is being
prepared to meet the gas attacks
OF the enemy, the means of pro-
lection having been devised by the
gas defense service. of the MedI-
cal Department. which comprises
about 100 officers and approximate
ly 500 enlisted men.
The two principal factors in gas
defense are effective masks and
through training of soldiers in the
use of masks and various methods
of avoiding contact with poisonous
vapors.
Experts who have been sent to
this country by the allied govern
ments have pronounced the present
American masks the most efficient
in existence. The production of
these masks is progressing at a
rate which insures that the require
ments Of the American troops abroad
will be amply supplied.
At each cantonment in the United
States a gas defense school has
been established and placed in
charge of a divisional gas oflcer,
who works in conjunction with the
chemical advisor, both trained in
the theory and practice of meeting
gas offensive. Through these
schools every officer and man re-
ceiyes instruction as to proper means
of gas defense.
