''Strep' Epidemic in Navy
Prevented by SuIfo Drug

They caused respiratory infec-
tions, which included scarlet fever,
rheumatic fever. pneumonia, men,
ingitis. tonsillitis and pharyngitis.
They were so virulent that ut q
single station the cost Of medical
care reached $4,000, 900. the loss Of
man-days per year was 1900, 900 and
as much as a quarter Of the person
mel got sick with one OF the infec-
tions.
The Navy boys from camps began
to carry the infection to distant
parts of the world.
Last winter something new in
medicine was tried-mass preven-
tion of respiratory diseases by use
of sulfa drug. This experiment
was made in SO naval camps, among
a quarter million men.
The dose was a gram q day, to
well men, month after month. The
results were astonishing. The in
fections dropped from high rates to
nothing or almost nothing in many
camps. And the fears Of bad ef-
fects from the powerful sulfa drug
proved groundless. One man died
from the sulfa and one man in
10000 had severe drug reaction.

Southerners Deny Complete

Southern spokesmen challenged
before the Interstate Commerce
Commission today a contention OF
railroad interests that it would be
necessary to adjust the Nations en-
tire freight rate structure to give the
South parity with the East on rates
applying to manufactured goods.
Eastern carriers argue that, while
the East enjoys lower class rates, or
those on which finished goods gen.
orally travel, the South has lower
commodity rates. They contend
that to give the South parity in
class rates would put the East at q
disadvantage.
j. Van Dyke Norman, Louisville

ernors Conference, countered that
there was nothing in the voluminous
record of ICC hearings on asserted
rate determinations" showing that
commodity rates favor the South.

peculiar streptococcus epidemic

invasive" a medical term little

notes one of the greatest dangers
