FRENCH ARMIES DO WELL UNDER
 HEALTH RULES

French Front, March 2S-French armies in the field are more healthy than at the beginning of the war, say the medical reports. This is attrib- uted to hygienic precaution and the betterments introduced in the hous- ing and care of the men.
 Typhoid and analogous diseases have become very rare. During the first ten days of January this year
 only seventeen cases were reported as the total in all the French armies whereas in December, 1914, and Jan- uary, 1915, the average reached vel
 over four figures and was very dis quieting. The disappearance of these | dangerous maladies is attributed by the doctors to the introduction at the end of January, 1915, of compulsor. inoculation of the troops with anti typhoid serum.
 The remarkable health of the sol | diers in the field is the more strik ] ing when the conditions under whicf | they live when on active service in the trenches is taken into consid 1 eration. Then for weeks on ent

they are subjected to the most severe trials. They must execute all the numerous chores inseparable from be- ing cut off from tn eusuaI life of mankind. In every kind of wealth CT they have to bring up to the front lines supplies of food and ammuni- ton. They have to stand on guard in rain and snow and mud for days at a time.
 When not on actual guard they pass their time in crowded and damp dug-outs where the tair is always bad. At all times in the front line sectors they are compelled to take their rest while fully dressed and equipped so as to be ready for a call to fight. Their food is brought to them by comrades ust as dirty as themselves, and, as, there are no opportunities to wash, it is handled by hands covered with mud and grease. In fact, all the surroundings of the soldier in the front line are such as to breed dis ease, yet they seem rapidly to accus- tom themselves to them and to main- tain their health.
 Even throat and chest troubles have diminished among the troops thanks to the improved conditions ir the rest-camps,. where on coming down from the froni lines the sol diers are now provided each with g trestle bed raised from the ground
 which is< the acme of comfort a! compared with the bundle of damI straw usual in 1914 and 1915

here and there. The report of the ten days already mentioned tells of only fifty-nine cases of measles and fifty three of scarlatina in the entire army.
 Trench-feet, brought about by standing in the freezing mud for days at a time in shoes which hinder the circulation, are being combatted suc- cessfully. The last report shows only 5S3 cases in ten days during the cold est season, whereas in five days of the same period last year no fewer than 3,S31 cases were treated. Formerly amputation was resorted to very fre- quently, but now the method of treat ment employed has done away with this radical means

 The making of records was, for a time, threatened,~ but after days of careful study in the plant laboratory, Chemist De Stubner discovered the secret of making recording wax and perfected a substance said to be of better quality than the German pro- duct
 In this months issue of "The Tone arm" published by the American Graphophone Co.,, E. N. Burns, vice president, under the title of "The Source of the Wonder Voice. tells of de Stubner's achievement. Burns says: ''The palpable feature of the Master Record is a highly polished wax disc. The blank in itself is no negligible item. Prior to the war we secured all of our recording wax from Germany. Now-thanks to the efforts of the best specializing we could find, and an efficient laboratory and factory force and the installation of expensive machinery, highly 'Kul- tured' wax is now produced in Bridge port, Conn, U. s. A."
 So the Kaiser has again been con- quered and the honor and distinction | for, applying the "crusher," is be- slowed upon Bridgeport man. pr. deStubner is of Swiss birth, but now l boasts of an American citizenship.
