Health About Army
Cantonments Most
Carefully Guarded

WASHINGTON. May o-EXtraordinary
measures have been taken by the public
health service to prevent communica-
ton of disease between civil and mill
tary populations where military camps
have been established. This general
scheme of health conservation consti-
tutes what government officials call "a
hitherto unparalleled demonstration in
efficient public health organization and
administration"
In twenty states, total of more than
thirty health zones surrounding the
military camps have been established,
each with separate, carefully-p planned
CO. cooperative health organization. the
public health service. the state ana
local health authorities, and the Amer
lean Red Cross combine in this coop
erative movement The general plan is
to galvanize local health authorities
into action, to support and widen the
scope of state health authorities. to
supplement but not supplant them one
object is to so stimulate and strengthen
local and state health activities that
the improvement shall be permanent
after the guiding hand of the federal
service mas been removed.
| An experienced Sanitarian has been
placed in charge and given competent
staff Local funds were supplemented
by Red Cross funds and by funds
which congress appropriated. Stlmuiat-
ed by the presence of large number
of soldiers, the communities were found
to be eager to pass ordinances to pro-
tect the health of these men.
Health measures adopted in these
military zones have been grouped
around the control of communicable
diseases and the precautions include
investigation. prevention, quarantine,
decentralization and clinical treatment
of these diseases. Isolation hospitals
and clinics have been found necessary
in combating one of the most common
diseases falling within this class.
Supervision of food supplies, espe-
cialIy milk and milk products. is car
ried out by systematic inspections and
typhoid and smallpox vaccinations of
persons employed in handling food
products Supervision of water sup

Most of the area surrounding the
environments being rural, the govern
ment has instituted rural sanitary sur
veys to improve sanitary conditions at
dwellings,. In each zone, the public is
being aroused to the Importance of
health thru lectures, exhibits. publica-
lions, school and home inspections and
similar work.
Thru these measures surgeon
General Blue, of the public health serv-
ice. says, mot only is the sanitary con-
dition of these areas being steadily
raised to a plane surprising anything
in their previous experience. but COM

to national efficiency which is made by
the conservation of health"

"Sauerkraut" No More;
May Garry Cannouf|age
as Liberty Cabbage

The federal food board was mace
aware of an alien enemy within its
Jurisdiction when a delegation of veg
etable dealers called at the headquar-
tiers of the board in New York on Sat
urday and petitioned that some'nlhs
be done at once to remove the pro-Ger-
man stigma from sauerkraut
Owing to the prejudice that had de-
veloped against the use OF food OF
such unmitigated German origin the
dealers maintained that great stores OF
sauerkraut were about to go to waste
and that definite measures should De
adopted to dispel general impression
that sauerkraut was now food mt
only for the kaiser.
Some of the dealers suggested that
the name Of sauerkraut be done away
with, and that the antipathy be
avoided by calling it something ike
Liberty Cabbage" or Picked Veg
etable'' They maintained that Its con-
sumption had decreased about 70 per
cent since this country entered the
war. and that there is enough sauer-
kraut in stock at the present time to
feed a good sized German army. Inc
sauerkraut dealers made an appoint
ment for a hearing with the federal
food administrator and then departed
to compile statistics on the exact guam
tity Of sauerkraut which they have on
their hands at present.
A. Joseph, spokesman for the dele
cation. said:
What's to be done in a case Of this
kind? Sauerkraut is good food. IL
is quite true it is of German origin,
but it is essentially an American prod
uct as far as it's consumption in this
country is concerned. There are i'm
mense quantities Of it which must go
to waste if something is not done to
stimulate consumption. Since we en-
tered the war there has been a peculiar
prejudice against it; to such an eX-
tent that in the New York district we
have nearly 400 tons Of it on our hands.
We thought of changing the name. and
such names as Liberty Cabbage and
Picked Vegetable have been sug-
gested.'
