Camp Cody For Gassed Men

IT would be splendid idea for the department to
designate Camp Cody, at Deming New Mexico,
cuperaon camp for gsssed soldiers Of whom there are
many thousands
Gassed soldiers are true invalids Gas affects the
lungs and bronchial tubes severely It induces distinct
tendency toward tuberculosis In fact many gassed sol
ders developed tuberculosis and under treat
ment To combat the tubercular tendency and afford
proper recuperaon years treatment in the right kind
Of climate, with proper facilities and the best kind Of SUI
Touudings, IS needed
Demngs superlative climate Is al that could be de-
sired Sunshiny dry and war it is priceless aid in
restoring the invalid soldier to full health Demings
water of high purity which is another important factor
And the camp IS there, buildings, tTackage, Streets
water and light connections-everythng
No great distance from Deming is Fort Bayard the
army sanitarum where tubercuar officers and enlisted
are given special treatment number Of gas VIC
tins are under treatment there.
But Fort Bsyard can accommodate only fraction of
the total Of gas victims. Why not the facilities avail
able at Camp Cody?
Before long, rehabilitation viii have taken from Camp
Cody the division there for training. The movement

UIHuE Dr. Vance. DR.. Brown and
w the other medicinal Nimrods
about Fl Paso have not been con-
suited upon the subject, It is probable
that we have a lot Of poor wild ducks
dying around Us from blood poison
ing. Il IS happening elsewhere and
why shouldn't It happen here7 They
had "nu" elsewhere and we had it
here. They have examinations OF
restaurants by military authorities
elsewhere and we have Il here-mul-
tiplied several times over in severity.
So. the chances are that we have poor.
suffering ducks. afflicted with blood
poisoning, for We have hunters who
have left enough lead lying loose
around the bottoms OF the duck ponds
TO cause il and that IS what causes
the disease. according to the eastern
experts
Scientific American recently had
this upon the subject:
Serious mortality among wild
ducks and other aquatic birds has
been recently observed IN certain
regions OF this country. At a re-
cent session OF the Biologic So
ciety OF Washington, A Wetmore
tion OF the subject He finds that
the birds attacked by the malady
observed are IN reality suffering
from lead poisoning due to their
swallowing the spent bird shot
which abound in the marshes and
shallow ponds which form the
happy hunting ground Of the duck
hunter. The birds doubtless mis-
take these pellets OF lead for the
gravel and tiny pebbles which II
is their habit to swallow as a ne
ceSsary aid TO digestion. Since
lead IS softer than stone the at
triton between the pebbles and
the pellets in the gizZard OF the
misguided bird causes minute
particles OF lead to pass constant
ly into the fowls intestine, where
they are partially absorbed. The
birds later become unable to fly,
and subsequently a slow paralysis
prevents them even from standing
up. An autopsy on ducks suffer-
ing from this strange malady re-
vealed that the glzzard contained
bullets exhibiting various degrees
OF wear.
ITO clinch the proof, Mr.. Wet
more reproduced the disease ex-
permimentally and found that the
swallowing OF six bird shot OF size
