There is a more serious stage of
Catarrh than the annoyance caused

the hawking and splitting and other

Four carloads of shock troops !
specially trained and equipped to fight
the various divisions Of the germarmy
threatening our soldiers at the can
tonments and training camps, have
been putting up quiet, grim and sue
ecssful fights against pneumonia and
spinal meningitis forces during the
past three months, according to re-
ports just submitted to the Bureau
of Sanitary Service of the American
Red Cross.
Operating from the four new labor
atory cars designed and maintained
by the Red Cross, the germ fighters
have done yeoman-like work in break
ing up the epidemics Of communicable
diseases at half dozen of the can
tonments. The work, which started
as soon as the first laboratoryq car
was placed in commission last Dc
cember, will be kept until the last
germ mas Deen routed.
The necessity for a mobile bac-
THEOLOGICAL force to assist the sur

camps was recognized by the Red
| last summer On the authorization OF
the War Council $4,000 was appro-
| priated for the purchase and equip
ment of set of four laboratory cars
The plans for these cars were fur
n:shed by the Medical Advisory Com
mittee and the cars themselves wera
built by the Pullman Company.
Car No. /, the "Pasteur," named af
ter the eminent pathologist of that
name. was delivered to its base in
Nashville, Tenn, on December 5th ann
dispatched at once to Fort Worth,
Texas, at the request of the surgeon
general, to assist the cantonment staff
in the fight against the pneumonia
epidemic there
For twenty days, the pathological
experts on this car, headed by Direct
or J. W. Jobling, of Vanderbilt Uni
versity, fought shoulder to shoulder
with the camp doctors, analyZing Gull
lures and doing all the other work
necessary to locate and segregate the
particular kind of pneumonia germ
that was responsible for the epidemic.
Then, after the germ had been run
down and the work of routing it from
camp had been started, the Red Cross
car returned to its base. Within a
few days it was humming over the
rails again-this time to Camp Beau
regard, at Alexandria Louisiana,
where the meningitis germs were

In appearance, the laboratory cars
aIe about the same as the average
Pullman sleeper, the only distinction
being that they carry Red Cross in
sigma at either end and the name OF
the American Red Gross across the
top. A kitchen and sleeping quarters
for the cock and porter occupy one
end; an Off and CHARTERS for the
professional staff e at the otheg
end. The laboratory covers the cen,
trail half of he car
All four cars are equipped with
including microscopes, incubators, Gull
ture media, serum, vaccines and
chemicals. They are manned by staffs
of experts who furnish their services
without compensation, a director, an
alternate director and four bacteria
gists being assigned to each. In add
ton to this force, the Red Cross pro-
yides and pays for the services of n
resident bacteriologist and a cook and
porter

ency that may arise in the control Of
communicable diseases, not only in
military camps but in civil commune
ties as we'll.
During periods of service, the eX-
pense and operation which average
about $1,000 a month, are paid from
Fed Cross funds made available by
a special appropriation. A car is sent
out whenever requested by the sur
geon- general of the army, navy or
public health service. Upon the re-
oeipt of such a request the nearest

ly dispatched to the location Indicated
