to the extent OF selling no arms

Next, when Germany began a

GOOD HEALTH OF NAVY
MEN IS ATTRIBUTED 10
OBEYING HEALTH RULES

Washington, Dec. l0.-The navy 5
excellent health and low mortality
rate during the war is attributed by
Rear Admiral Braisted, surgeon
general Of the navy, in his annual
report today, largely to the increas:-
ing appreciation by commanding OF
ficers of the rules OF hygiene ana
sanitation. Where defects in the
health system have developed, he
SAYS. the blame falls largely on the
countrv's unpreparedness for opera
tions OF such magnitude.
Compared with an ANNUAL death
rate OF 81 per thousand Tor the ten
preceding years, the rase rose during
the first quarter of this year to 81
per thousand per year. This. Doctor
Braistead finds, was due to the un-
fortunate and unavoidable combna-
ton OF circumstances brought
about by the rapid expansion OF the
navy and the unusual weather con-
ditions in the first quarter OF the
wear. The death rate for the second
quarter was only 3.3, figure close
" approaching the average for peace
times"
This war has served, Doctor
Braisted said, to clear the 'reputa-
tions OF the men OF the army and
navy OF the impression in the public
mind that diseases due to social evils
are more prevalent in the service
than outside. Vice doctors have con-
tended all along, he said, that the
ratio stood three TO one in favor OF
the trained service men, and stats
tics compiled by the provost marshal
general on the first draft, support
them

ing the case over to some Jealous

There are enough instances OF
this kind in our midst to stir every
church in the city with a zeal that
will not stop short of seeing that
Mrs. Kahn has funds provided for
her work.
The churches and the city have al
ways contributed to this fund, but
there have been too few people fully
awake to the necessities. Then the
scourge of sickness this winter has
quadrupled the number of calls and
the demand for funds.
Besides the clothing and the gro
ceries that are given the Benevolent
Association this winter there should
be raised fund of at least $4,000.
Not Without Responsibility
The men of this city are not with.
out responsibility. And the men OF
Carter county who have broad acre
ages and growing herds OF cattle,
have their responsibilities for the
reason that the unfortunate OF the
entire county come to this city,
where there is organized charity.
Wherever man has responsibility,
woman must also share them. Men
can discharge theirs by the gift OF
money and women can discharge
theirs by the gathering of clothing
and groceries and by aiding the
charity worker to place children in
the Sunday schools of the city and
surround them with the most whole
some atmosphere.
The work of gathering these
funds is now under way. Active COM
mittees have been secured for each
ward in the city.

posed of the following people. Phone

DUKE SAYS EFFECTIVE
QUARAN TINE AGAINST
FLU IS |MPRACT T|CAbLE

DR.. Robert S. Williards, city sup
erintendcnt, had a talk over the
telephone with DR.. John w. Duke,
state health commissioner, and he
said any quarantine was inefficient
if not thorough; that it would do
no good to attempt a quarantine
against influenza in Ardmore unless
every business place, every drinking
fountain and every house where a
case of influenza occurred was
closed and to stop every train from
running and stop people from COM
ing into the city and with all this,
the quarantine would prove inet-
fectual.
DR.. Duke advised that the schools
and places Of business be not closed,
but for the people to avoid crowds
and that the picture shows and 9TH
er places where people congregate
be we'll ventilated.
DR.. Willard says the influenza
is bacterial disease and is carried
in the atmosphere and that it
is impossible to make an effective
quarantine against it. He recon-
mends that the physicians should
keep out of school all children
from homes in which case OF in
fluenza appears and that the school
teachers and those in authority,
send home from school any child
appearing there with a bad cold,
fever or showing any indication
OF indisposition.
He said that all places should be
well ventilated and as prophylac-
tic, to keep the system in good con-
dition, that the mouth and throat
should be washed out every morn
ing and evening with Dobells So
luton, followed by spray OF any
antiseptic oil. This, he said, is a
perfect masque against the trouble
as the oil forms 4 lining OF all the
mucuous membrane and reaches all
the air passages.
He condemned gauze masqueS as
useless and some times causing in
Jury He said anything OF bacterial
origin can pass through gauze
masque and what may lodge on it
would only give the possibility OF
it being communicated to Others.
