United States George W. Wickershan, formerly u S.

But the amount of blowing the
Moline Universal will do is only
one OF many great advantages.
You sit on the ploW, not on the
tractor. You are in the best po-
sition to observe the work that
is being done, and for adjusting
your plow. You can back right
up into a fence corner, plow out
head lands, and turn short. You
are away from the heat and vi
bration of the engine.
In soft or difficult blowing just
pull the differential lock lever
and you double the pulling pow
er of the drive wheels.

weight on the Moli1le-Universal.
Then when your blowing is
done you have a tractor that you
can go ahead with and do all
your work, including cultivating,
cheaper, better and faster than
you ever did before.
You want to farm more land,
or farm what you have with less
help, cut out most of your horses,
raise bigger and better crops at
less expense = the Moline-Uni-

thousands of farmers and will do
it for you. Call on us for proof.

explanation Of his reports OF sxtraor-
dinary aerial feats TO Capt d. c.

describe the appearance OF the Brit

GUARD HEALTHOF
RHINE DOUGHBOYS

WITH THE AMERICANS ON THE
RHINE, March Whfle American
troops are on the Rhine, the inhabi-
tants OF the occupied region must
stay healthy. or at least observe Un-
usual sanitary and health precau-
tiOns. This Solicitude and does not
arise from any undue regard for the
health OF the Germans. but Is an add
ed protection to the American troops.
For that reason a special depart
ment OF the civil AFFAIRS department
is keeping an eye on the German
sanitary arrangement and health
supervision. This department is in
charge OF Lieutenant Colonel Bensel.
AT experienced health department
official.
BY orders OF the American authOri-
ties. the local public physicians in
each district OF the occupied area re
port Immediately every case Of sick
ness 10 the health department. The
American commander in each town
also sends in a report Of each case Of
illness among the civilian population.
In case or contagious disease
Colonel Bensel at once investigates in
order to halt anIy spread Of the dis-
ease. which might affect troops quar-
tered in the town.
In the little town OF Linz FIVE cases
OF typhoid were reported. An inves-
tigatiOn showed that the infection
started from an unsanitaTy we'll.
which was ordered destroyed, thereby
stopping what threatened TO become
N epidemic before a single soldier
was infected. Several other incipient
epidemics have been halted BY prompt
investigation and strict measures
has ordered the local German authori-
ties TO test the water OF every well
from which American soldiers derive
water supplies once each month and
submit the results Of the tests L.
Third army headquarters. In case
impurities are found the we'll is shut
OF.
In his office in Coblenz. Colonel
BenseI keeps series OF charts for
each disease with each case OF sick
ness marked with n pin. When the
number Of pins begins to increase at
any one point. an investigation is
started. SO far not single case is
reported of an American soldier be-
coming infected from cbviliGnB.
The stTictnesS with which the sani-
tary regulations are enforced is
shown by the fact that OF 2l9 arrests
of civilians throughout the occupied
area during the first two months OF
occupation. foTtY-twO were for dis
obeying sanitary orders.
