BOTULIsM, LATEST
DISEASE OF WAR;
HITS AMERICANS

With the American Army in Eng
land.-A few cases of botulism have
been discovered in the American
army, but none has resulted fatally
and the medical corps has encoun-
tered no difficulty in checking the
spread Of the disease.
A greater number of cases have
been found in the British forces,
but there percentage is not much
larger there, and, while deeply in
terested in the character of this
latest of war diseases, physicians,
both British and American, profess
a conviction that it will not become
so prevalent as to become a menace
One of the victims in the American
army has been an officer at head
quarters. He recovered, only a
slight dropping Of the eyelids re-
naming some days after he was
discharged, as a reminder of his
illness.
Little regarding the causes of the
disease has yet been learned. The
symptoms include an inordinate de-
sire to sleep, supplemented often
by slight rash and tendency TO
delirium. The patient sometimes is
left in a partly paralyzed state In
a few cases only has it proved
fatal.

BAND To ENJOY
ANNUAL OUTING
Ninth Yearly Trip of United Sun
day School Organization to be
Made i'm Autos.
TO VISIT HISTORIC SITES
Boys Leave Monday of Next Week
Under Supervision of Director
John III. Hauberg.

The United Sunday Schools band
will go to Springfield or its an
nual big hike, leaving Rock Island
early next Monday morning, and
returning Aug. %. The organiza-
ton will be in charge of John H.
Hauberg, its founder.
This will be the ninth annual
big hike, and promises to be one
of the very best the band has had.
The trip will be by auto, which is
something new, previous trips
having been made with horses and
wagons, except the one to Keokuk
and Hannibal. which was by steam
boat.
Forty-one boys have declared
their intention of going this year.
The first stop will be at Gales
burg, where Clark E. Carr, author
of THE Illini," Lincoln at Gettys-
burg" etc, will be visited, and
if this venerable friend of Abra-
ham Lincoln is sufficiently we'll,
the boys will enjoy a treat. Mon
day night will probably be spent
near Canton.
Tuesday, Aug. 20, Culver Lake at
Havana will be reached. This
point is said to have the largest
fresh water fisheries in the United
States. Here the time will be
spent in fishing and swimming I'M
til Thursday, when the boys will
move to old New Salem on the
Sangamon river, the old home of
Abraham Lincoln, where he wres-
tied with the CIary's Grove boys,
kept store and enlisted in the
Black Hawk war. The old town
long since vanished, is being re-
built, as a part of the Illinois CEN
tennial celebration, and the boys
will see the log houses partly fin
ished, and will drink from the old
well which has just recently been
cleaned out Thursday night is to
be spent at New Salem, and Friday
morning the expedition will move
TO Springfield and will call at the
old Lincoln homestead, the capitol
with its Legislative halls, battle
flags, historical collections, etc,
the armory and its natural history
museum, etc.
To Attend State Fair.
Saturday and Monday will be
spent at the State fair. Pageant
Master Brugger wrote asking that
the band appear in the masque OF
Illinois, which is to be presented

rs THIS SOLUTION
FOR ROCK ISLAND?

Indianapolis, Ind-Women ice
handlers are being tried out on the
wagons of an Indianapolis Ice com
pany. Six husky colored women,
clad in overalls, are making the
rounds for the company. The only
difference between their work and
the work of the ice man is that
the women are instructed to car
ry two 50-pound chunks instead of
one 10O-pound cake, when the win

PERU TO HAVE CENSUS.

Washington govern
ment officials are interested in the
announcement from Lima that Peru
has ordered a census to be taken
next year. Statistics of popula-
ton and industries in South Amer
lean countries are vague and unre-
liable for the most part as no cen
sus of the United Statescmfwcmfmf
sus has been taken in some of the
countries for many years.
According to information .receiv-
ed here the 1919 census will be
fairly complete and based to great
extent upon the recent census of
the United States, although the
classifications will not include as
many items as have been included
in this country.

CLOTHES OF MEN
AT FRONT ARE NOT
IDEAL, BUT USEFUL.

Behind British Lines IN france
CORRESPONDENCE Of the Associated
Press. The soldier has little or
no choice in clothing, and the con-
ditions of campat gniug are such
that soldiers are seldom ideally
dressed. The changes OF tempera-
ure that western Europe can ex-
periance in As hours completely
battle anyone who possesses a re
stFicted wardrobe and who is oblig-
ed TO live in the open. Yet the sol
der in France must be prepared for
anything in the line of weather.
In the British army the seasons
are regulated by official routine
rather than by a any slavish adher-
enca 10 climate. The first signs of
spring are army orders command
ing that all special heavy winter
clothing. such as trench coats, furs
and sweaters shall be handed in by
April 1 And handed in these COM
fcrts duly are, whereupon the
weather forthwith turns wintry
again and the middle of April is
perhaps marked by a three days
blizzard and sharp frost.
Garment by garment the winter
clothing disappear into the store
houses - sweaters. winter shirts,
trench gloves and mittens, leather
coastal ineXOrably return TO the
ordnance department. During the
summer this clothing is cleaned,
repaired. steriIiZed and repacked in
bales ready for the succeeding au-
tumn and winter issue.
The clothes collected are replac-
ed by issues Of lighter stuff, more
suitable for warm weather wear,
for III the summer fighting is hot
work. and gunuerS prefer to serve
their guns in Enee-length under
drawers and shirt During some
battles in the hottest days the men
have stripped even farther than
this. and worked bare TO the waist,
as their grandfathers served the
gunSin Nelson's day.
Wool and flannel seem heavy
stuff for summer wear, but the
British army IS old in experience
and knows the best all-Tound ma
terials. Cotton. though excellent
for comfort. is said TO swell the
sick lists rapidly, for when soaked
through with perspiration it dries
in such a way as 10 chill the wear
er. while the heavier wool, though
less pleasant 10 wear, dries without
I'll effect.
The same standard outer uniform
serves the British soldier for all
seasons i'm France. One article that
is the same for British soldiers in
all parts Of the world and in all
climates IS the regulation gray
army sock Experience has proved
10 the satisfaction of the British au-
thorities that this standard sock is
the best for all conditions Of march
ing. It does not shrink or get hard
from repeated washing, and it is
eItraGrd uariIy durable.
British army clothing may not be
handsome or even well cut, but it
is most carefully designed 10 fur
n-sh the maximum Of practical use
combined with the first hygienic
qualities The hest testimony to
IT'S excellent quality and design is
The fact that the soldier himself
acknowledges that ration clothes
are the best that can be found for
army wear.
