MEASLES AND PNEUMONIA IN
THE CAMPS.

Pneumonia and measles are the two
popular diseases in the American
camps. Other serious diseases are
becoming less and less frequent. No
toxin has been discovered for mea-
sizes. Deaths from measles are be-
coming quite rare. or many hundreds
OF cases reported up to July 10Th,
only one proved fatal.
In the matter of pneumonia, it is
believed most cases are contracted
by taking cold after exercising or
hard drilling, the boys cooling off"
too rapidly, and with more thorough
and careful instruction as to cloth
ing, ETC., no doubt the disease will be
the more readily prevented
The camps having the greater num-
her of cases of sickness are Southern
and Southeastern camps, where the
weather is the warmest, the atmos-
phere the most humid.
Camp Wadsworth, S. c., heads the
list, with POI sick soldiers in every
1000. The lowest rate is at Camp
Cody, Deming, N. NJ. The average
for all the camps is about 44.5 per
1000 men. This average is little if
any larger than would occur regu-
larry if the boys were at home.
So, it appears, that the chances
that the boys will be sick in camp are
about equal to his chances if he were
At home.

DEATHS FROM DISEASE AND IN
BATTLE EQUAL.

An interesting report from the
Medical Corps of the army has been
made public. The number per thous-
and killed in battle is exactly equal
to the number died of disease. From
September, 1917 to June, 1918, the
number of men killed in battle per
1000 men engaged was eight. The
number dying of disease was eight,
says this report. In the Mexican var
fifteen per thousand were killed per
year, 40 died of disease. In the
Spanish war five per 1000
were killed in battle, 26 died of dis
case. In our civil war, 33 were kill.
ed in action per 1000 engaged, 60
died of disease.
All of which goes to show that the
medical corps is not only showing
great activity but also greater elf
cheney in battling against disease and
sickness i'll the camps of our boys
overseas, and is source Of encour-
agement. Not only have the men the
advantage Of the best medical skill
on earth but also the best nursing
that can be possibly obtained. Should
the boy be attacked by disease, know
We anxious mothers, that his treat
mcnt and the nursing given him will
be superior to what nc would get
at home, in nearly every case, and
equal in all cases.

takers from other sections) went

held on April 9th, as to the mini
mum quota Of $96,O50.O0, the coun-
ty has fallen far short of the pur-
chase of 1877 bonds, as requested
by the government The great ac-
tion Of the opening day was brought
about by the wonderful appeal
made by Judge John E. Mccall and
the taking Of $50,00000 worth of
the minimum quote by the six
banks Of the county. The masses
of the people have not been reach
ed-and we fear that we have in
our county a class that will hang
on to their money until they are
handed a tax receipt for it instead
of interest bearing bonds. We have
very well-to-do citizens who can
and should buy bonds, who have
made it a point to attend no speak
inss. and. raad-no papers or other
literature issued in behalf of the
Third Liberty Loan. However,
their money will keep and when
the actual need arises those who
have taken bonds will be given
credit therefor and the tightwads

which they will be clearly entitled.
