We all recognize the great work
Of the carriers as well as their
fellow workmen, the clerks, the
railway mail service and the
motor vohicle service. Also the
special delivery men and post

- But there is one other branch
of the post office service that
. Mr.. Runyon has overlooked.
Perhaps he, as we'll a the gen.

about this department. This de-

Spotted Fever Technique
May Stop Typhus in Army
BY DIR. LOGAN CLENDENING

WE HEAR quite a little today
w about German soldiers in
Russia having trouble with body
lice.
The. most lurid stories have
been told about soldiers picking
lice of their shirts and sending
them home in envelopes to their
relatives.
The great problem in santa
ton which concerns this is
typhus fever, which is almost
unknown in this country, but
which breaks out whenever the
unSanitary conditions in a war
expose men TO infection from
Vermin and body pests.
There are two forms Of ty-
phus fever, one Of the epidemic
or Old World typhuS in which

body louise from man 10 man
This is the dangerous form of
typhus for the armies in Europe.

But we have in the United
States a disease somewhat Simi-
lar TO typhuS in Rocky Mountain

In addition 10 tho Rocky
Mountain form there Is also an

A Place for Reward

THE acknowledged total of merchant ships lost in the
/ western Atlantic as the result of enemy action is
now in excess Of 400 majority of them American
vessels
The accompanying loss of life has been very great,
although the number of survivors reported IN various
ports offers proof of valiant rescue operations.
There is no information about the total merchant
traffic being conducted under these conditions, and thus
Of course public knowledge of the proportion OF losses
