It has. long been believed by Ger
tain people that Captain Kidd SILK
money in Hunting Greek, although
no one has ever been able to locate
the spot. The captain is quoted as
saying he discarded . chest OF Urea
sure in the mouth Of the first creek
south of Alexandria. Doubtless more
money has been sunk by Washington
iars, Alexandrians and others II
gambling in Hunting Creek than the
pirate Of the early days of the coun-
try placed in its mouth. =
In this connection it may be stated
that there are undoubtedly other
gambling resorts in Fairfax county
and contiguous to the HArk' ami
probably within the present lurisdlc-
ton of the city Of Alexandria. It IS
hoped that It will not be necessary

to mind an incident in the history of
Alexandria dating back into ante bel

residing on south Fairfax street took
into her home two orphan brothers
while they were in the first decade
Of their existence. They were brought

day schools, watched games Of pen

which was then carried on at the
old shipyard and nearby places.

Army Conquering Empyema

At the very inception of the epidemic
Surgeon General Gorgas ordered special
Investigations. The cause was discovered
in the laboratory divisions OF bacteriol-
ogy and pathology, and the manner of in
lection determined by field work in every
camp.
The surgical division undertook to de-
wise the best method of treatment A
special group of surgeons, internists and
laboratory workers was located at Camp
Lee, Virginia, where large group of pa
tients were available. At the same time
empyema teams were appointed from the
staff of each base hospital to treat and
study all the cases there.
In civil practice the ordinary type of
empyema is operated upon almost as soon
as diagnosed. But to-day a patient in
an army hospital would probably not be
operated upon until the primary acute in
lection had spent its viruIence, as it has
been found that the disease form is en-
tirely different from that met in civil life.
The medical officers feel that early op-
Grafton may involve great risks without
compromising benefits The treatment ear
ried out by the empyema commission
consists of frequently drawing ,ff the
fluid in the pleural cavity with = hollow
needle and suction apparatus. The medi-
cal officers have found that the best time
to operate is when the general condition
of the patient begins to improve. The
operation is usually performed under
local anasthetic. Means are taken to
prevent collapse of the lung. Many in
genious devices for the treatment of the
disease have been introduced.
The following figures, taken from the
report of the empyema team at the base
hospital at Fort Riley, Kansas, demon
strated the effectiveness OF the new
method: From October 20 to January
% eighty-five eases under treatment were
not aspirated, and of these fifty-two died;
from January % to April 80 sixty-nine
cases were treated, all aspirated, and the
deaths numbered SIX.

MOTHERS who when their boys
lVl are called feel great concern
about camp health conditions should
know the following facts, made public
with the War Departments authority:
BY means of teamwork amorg special
lists, the Medical Department of the army
has secured a defence againtt empyema,
the disease of the lungs that was preva-
lent in camps and environments last win
ter. The cause of the disease has been as
certained and the best method Of treat
ment determined.
The form of the diaease that appeared
in the camps differed from the ordinary
form seen in civil life, being due to the
streptococcus. Next winter, or at any
other time, if similar epidemic should
start it is as certain as any forecast can
be in reference to d disease rs virulent as
empyema that the disease will be robbed
of its greatest danger.
Last winter many of the soldiers from
country districts had never suffered from
the common diseases of childhood, such
as measles. Gases of measles appeared
in the camps and the disease spread
among the recruits. Measles in adult life
is serious, frequently being followed by
pneumonia Other complications ap-
peared, none worse than empyema.
This is an infection of the membrane
covering the lungs or the membra-
nous lining Of the chest walls. A fluid,
often pus bearing, is left between the two
membranes. The amount Of the fluid
constantly increases and the lungs ara
cramped more and more as the pleural
cavity fills. Breathing becomes more and
more difficult. Aside from this aspect of
cmpyema, which alone may prove fatal,
the virulence of the germ is such that the
infection is always to be dreaded.
While similar epidemics have ravaged
all armies for the last three centuries, ut
no time has the cause been known. The
first operation for empyema was per-
formed during our War Of 1872.
