PERFUMED GAS BOMBS
FOR OUR MEN

The Germans are perfuming the
various gasses they scatter over the
American positions.
The latest scheme is to impregnate
the gas shells with the perfume of
apples, bananas, oranges and pine
apples, in the hope of Turing our men
to spots where the deadly gasses
lurk.
Formerly the various gasses had a
distinctive odor which was immed-
lately distinguishable The American
gas experts quickly detected the Ger
man perfume trick, and regular fruit
smells lurking in low places no longer
attract the American troops.

HEALTH NOTES FOR
CLAIBORNE COUNTY
Embracing Morbidity Record for Oc-
tober. and Deaths and Births for
September, 1918.

Claiborne county for the month Of
October brings to the Board Of Health
Morbidity report Of which every
pacticing physician, ten in number,
contributed his share. Health condi-
tions are unusually good for this
month in comparison to many coun-
ties. The full tabulation Of cases is
as follows; Malaria 95, Dysentery 1,
Chickenpox 2, pellagra A, tuberculo-
sis 6, syphilis 10, pneumonia 27,hook-
worm ], gonorrhoea 80. This would
indicate that Claiborne county has
unusually good health conditions with
the exception of the inuenza epidemic
which has enveIoped the entire state.
During the month of September
Claiborne county lost 10 citizens, one
white and IS colored. The cause Of
death resulted largely from tubercu-
losis, heart disease, cancer, nephritis,
and early infancy The death rate
as represented by 19 deaths, Claiborne
county having total estimated popu-
lation Of 17,403, is 1871 This is u
fairly satisfactory rate for the month,
since the registration Area for the
year 1915 shows ate Of 13 per thou
sand people.
Also for he month Of September,
Claiborne county filed with the Bu-
,feau Nf Vital Statistics "a birth GER
tifcatss, six Of which were white and
eighteen S$lored. This represents
birth rate of lS.5 for the month of
September. A unpthly birth race,
