CHANCE FOR FORTUNE
Fame Also to Man Who Cures
Measles and MumpS.
Uncle Sans Army and Navy Surgeons
Dread Measles More Than Any
Other Disease.

Washington. - Fame and fortune
await the man who can trace to it's
source that periodical bugbear Of the
army and navy-the measles and
mumps epidemic.
For some unknown reason, when
ever troops are concentrated, either
in large camps or on board ship, one
Of the first diseases to make its ap-
pearance is the measles, and this dis
ease which most of US place in the
category of childhood ills, is one Of
the most dreaded by army surgeons.
Symptoms Of the disease appearing
in any of the men is the signal for
the immediate quarantining Of the
soldiers company and the barracks
where he is located. Fumigation Of
the barracks then follows and every
precaution is taken to prevent an
epidemic.
An after-effect Of measles, greatly
feared by army surgeons, is the devel-
opment of pneumonia, and 1t has been
found that the fatalities among ma
ture persons are much greater than
with children. The pneumonia result
has been more prevalent in the canton
ments located in the southern states
than In those of the North or West.
Generally speaking, surgeons look
for mumps at about the time that
measles appear, and are rarely disap-
pointed The fatalities through mumps
do not begin to reach the number Of
those by measles, but the same rigid
quarantine is observed in both cases.
For many years the best surgeons
in the army have been working on
theories that would eradicate the
source of these diseases, but they have
to admit that they are now no nearer

American Pluck Provides Government
With Precious Metal Required for

San Francisco. - A fortune, for
which kings Of crookdom would have
cheerfully risked their necks, has just
been delivered to the government, aft
er having been carried half way around
the world like so much junk.
Sheer Yankee pluck turned the
trick.
1t was transported from the Ural
mountains, in Russia, to the United
States by f. w. Draper, an American
mining engineer, who turned 21,00O
ounces over to the department of COM
merce.
The rare metal was carried In boxes,
as Draper's luggage-a kings ransom
at the mercy Of every porter baggage
man and 'longshoreman in Russia and
Japan.
He Did the Incredible.
'I got it safely through" explained
the engineer, because did the In
credible. No one would believe a man
had so little sense as to lug a few
million around like that. To have
treated those boxes as precious would
have meant to lose them-and prob
ably my life as well.
"It was just an interesting bit of
practical psychology"
His wife and four-year-old son &C.
companied him.
On the railroads across lawless Rus
sia and Siberia, under the nose of the
irresponsible bolsheviki, and past thou
sands who would have cracked his
head for a fraction of that wealth,
Draper smuggled the precious dust.
Express companies had refused to
take the risk at any premium.
"You'll never get 1t out Of the coun-
try" they said. "Not with platinum
worth almost it's weight in diamonds"
"Well, there it is," he said, kicking
some old boxes on the San Francisco
pier.
"Tve slept and eaten on those boxes
for over month. And when wasn't
sitting on 'em, my wife was. I've be-
come quite accustomed to sleeping on
a S2,O00O00 pillow. And I want to
say it was deucedly hard on my head.

clans of the country. DR.. James J.
Walsh, physician, doctor Of philosophy,
and author, said:
Pneumonia takes little more than
one man in eight and therefore has
wrested from tuberculosis the grim
honor Of killing the most human be-
ings. Man is a marine animal, seven
eights water. He needs cool air and
moisture around him. Ov(rheated dry
air makes him too susceptible to dis
ease. In a temperature Of over 68 de-
grees it is difficult for men and women
to exist healthfully. If Americans can
be taught to live in this temperature
the number Of pneumonia victims will
surely decrease. Fresh cool, moist air
is the foe of pneumonia and persons
who keep their houses cool and breathe
fresh, moist air need have no fear Of
it."

LOST FOR NINETEEN YEARS
Box Of Flrst-Aid Material Made for

Turns Up.

Burr Oak, Mich.-After being on the
way 10 years, box was received by
capt. Charles P. Wheeler sent him by
express by his mother.
Captain Wheeler led a company Of
'olunteers in the Spanish-American
var in 1898, and while at Camp AL
Ter, Don Loring, Va, his mother sent
him a box weighing 20 pounds, con-
aiming first-aid material and medicine.
Before the box arrived the company
'ad moved to Cuba, and as the COM
amy moved so rapidly the box never
aught up. On his return he tried to
race the box without success.
Last week the box arrived from Phil
delphia, being sent by Col. r. n.
lolfe Of the Quartermaster corps, it
eing presumably laid aside with
ther war material and finally brought
