University Professor Urges
Community Gardening in City

Community gardening as means
of promoting "war gardening" in
Omaha is plan urged by Prof. G. w.
Hood, head of the truck farming de-
partment, University of Nebraska,
who is giving a series of lectures at
the Burgess-Nash company store this
week
Prof. Hood estimates that more
than 1000 acres are available for the
war gardens of Omaha. Cultivation
of an acreage of this size offers enor-
nous possibilities, he declares.
Surveys two years ago show that
an acre in lettuce, beets and radishes
brought $l,600," he said. 1.-TWO
thousand acres cultivated as gardens
would bring in hundreds of thousands
OF, dollars and would gain twofoid
objective--reduce the high cost of
living and serve to relieve the food
shortage"
Prof. Hood spoke at the Burgess
Nash store Friday afternoon and he
will speak again Saturday afternoon.

Medical Corps NosD knosOs
HosU To Fight Trench FeUer

Not only Is the American army in
the field living true to the nations
traditions in personal bravery, bat its
medical units are evidencing the same
initiative in research. Trench Fever"
has been the scourge of the Allied arr
mics: but the surgeons Of the Red
Cross and army have succeeded in de-
termining the cause Of the disease
In medicine 1t In an axiom that when
the cause Of disease is known, the
campaign against it is more than half
won. SO the American troops are to
be scientifically and therefore effec-
lively guarded against the fever.
DR.. Alexander Lambert, President
Of the New York State Medical So
ciety, who has been serving az chief
surgeon OF the Red Cross in France,
in discussing trench fever. said:
Last October the Red Cross found
ed research committee cOmDOsed of
the best medical and surgical men in
the American army In France. It in
cluded great many of the active
surgeons and medical men in the re-
search corps, and also through the
hearty and unqualified cooperation OF
the chief surgeon, Gen. Bradley, it
also included the entire Medical Corps
of the Regular Army then In France.
Gen. Ireland, who is now chief
surgeon in France, was on the COM
mittee. He was a young medical off,
Ger in Cuba when the yellow fever re-
search work was being conducted by
Gen. Gorgas.
A curious fever has been preva-
lent in Flanders and northern France,
affecting the English army more than
the French. oddly enough, and which
has seriously crippled q very consid-
cradle percentage of the active forces
Of the English army in the last three
years.
"The English have been working
for two or three years ON it. The dis
ease was not transmitted to any ami
NAL (the ordinary animals of the lab
oratcry). Nothing had been found in
the blood. and yet it was believed that
some living organism was in the blood
of the patient at the time OF the fever
and could be transmitted through the
blood. Various ordinary laboratory
animals were tried. bat without sue
cess. Even monkeys were tried, but
these monkeys are still we'll and
healthy today. not having taken the
disease.
It then became evident that Amer
lean volunteers would be called who
would submit themselves to this In
lection. The precedent in the army
of the work in yellow fever under
Waiter Reed and Carroll and Gen.
Gorgas in Cuba was still remembered
in the army and the same men who
had done this work turned to the gen.
eral star at headquarters. among
Trench and camp. ([Admiral, Md.) 1917-1919, 1918-06-20

whose colonies there were some who
had been young neutenants in Cuba
under Gen. Wood. And q short con-
sultati0n brought about the necessary
orders and the volunteers were forth
coming. Sixty-odd volunteers were
aeeded-10O men offered their serv-
Ices. That was all that was asked
a unit Of lee men coming forward as
one man.
They took men suffering from the
disease, withdrew their blood and In
jected it into these volunteers. And
these men after ave or sixteen days
came down with the disease. Their
blood was taken and put in other vol
unteers and again these developed the
disease. That proved the transmits
sion from patient to patient by the
blood.
st was believed that the carrier
was the ordinary body louise. Now,
It was necessary to obtain both body
lice from the trenches that might
have had the disease and have them
bite the patients and then bite other
patients, which was done. And it was
also necessary to get lice and trans
port them to Flanders from some
where where the Trench Fever was
not prevalent and infect these dOmes-
ticated fresh and unsuspecting lice
with the disease and then have them
bite some patient and transmit it to
him.
"All this was done and done sue
cessfully, and il needs the enthusiasm
of the scientific expert to go and carry
lice from London to France and have
them cooped up in cells attached to
the arm and leg and well fed and we'll
kept in little cells and taken or
clothes that were infected. They had
to be put upon the patients arm in
cellular boxes strapped down with
adhesive plaster, where they could
stay right there for week or so and
where the man could get at it sufi-
ciently to scratch normally, as he
otherwise might in real life.
Some of the lice had to be ulaced
on other patients; and all the pa
t1ents had to live under the same con-
dittons. And all the details necessary
to prove beyond a peradventure of
doubt that lice really carried the dis
ease and that the disease was in the
blood Of the patient had to be OBJ
served with infinite care.
Nov, how can we stop the dis
ease? 'De-louse' the army! And that
Is a huge job. 1t means two or three
huge bathing establishments with dis
injecting plants with each corps. and
taking your boys when they come
from the trench back for repose every
ten days. 'de-lonse' the clothes. clean
until every louise Is gotten out Of the
clothes by steam and heat. It means
that they must have clean underclo-
thing and bathing and all the little
hairs on their body shaved OF. Shave
on the hairs where the nits are founa.
And 1t means IL this il done you can
get rid of the lice.'s
