MOW UNGLE SAM TAKES CAKE Of Ills lioy?--Surroundings Sanitary Best None Too Cowl for Them. Washington, Oct. 17.-Editor of Keoweo Courier: Whon a man is se lected for military service, the im mediate anxiety, tho immediate con corn, is his destination, his housing, feeding, clothing and health. Tho new soldier is under the di rection of the Provost Marshal Gen eral's department from the timo ho is accepted until he takes train for tho camp he is assigned to. Then the transportation department takes him in charge. If his journey is a j long ono he travols by Pullman or tourist sleeper. Means aro provided to him along tho way, at a maximum I coat of 00 cents, by the government, j Under a recent ruling the selected man is immediately given an arm band. This ls an Insignia of military standing and is worn until he ls fitted | with a uniform. The arm-band car- j rios thc same authority, protection and responsibility that the uniform does. Tho enemy would have the tight to fire upon him, or to make him prisoner, and any one selling him liquor would be subject to pro secution under thc Federal laws. Arriving at his cantonment tho soldier ls assigned to quarters-usu ally a two-story wooden building, with plenty of air and sunlight, and with the cleanest of floors-floors that would meet with the old-time test, "clean enough to eat from." He sleeps in a well-ventilated room with other soldiers, but not too many, the number being regulated by the cubic feet of air space In the chamber. Tho army bed ls an extra width cot with good steel ? springs and bedding suited to the weather and climate. Never leas than two blankets are assigned him-all-wool blankets, khaki color. Sometimos ho gets three blankets and two thick comforters more if weather condi tions demand. Lavatories are located at the roar of these quarters, with water pres sures and fixtures of a design similar to that used in the best hotels In the country, and for every company unit there are from four to six shower baths. Cleanliness of person and surroundings are absolute require ments of the United States army. Every possible precaution ls taken by the sanitary corps to insure that tho camp conditions are 100 per cent sanitary. Drainage is Installed along strictly scientific lines, and the most scien tific disposition ls made of all camp nowage. During previous wars more men have died from preventable dis ease than from bullet wounds. Dur ing the Civil War soldiers perished by thousands from typhoid, camp fever, dysentery and kindred dis eases resulting from unsanitary con ditions about the camp. Those days are gone. Surgeon Gen. Gorgas,who mado the building of tho Panama Canal possible by draining tho Canal Zone and fitting lt for human habi tation, is in charge of the army sani tation. As soon as the soldier ls assigned to quarters ho is given the most searching physical examination. All scientific medictl tests are applied to detect disease. For instance, if there are indications of tubercular Infec tion, the patient ls put under obser vation, that there may bo no mis take in tho diagnosis. If there is incipient trouble he is sent to one of the army sanitariums and re stored to health. If his case is ad vanced he is relieved from military aorvice or exempted until physically flt. Besides the examining surgeon there ls the dentist. Teeth aro put in good condition here, and there are dentists o verseas to keep them in good condition. Also there is an or thopedic surgeon to examine the sol dier's feet. It has been Bald that dnrlng the past wars there were more desertions from foot trouble than iii BLS !

The at tention given to the selection of shoes for the soldiers in the American army is a sidelight on the care we give onr'llghtlng men. When a. soldier gets his first pair of shoes he gets a pair that lit his feet. No account is taken of the size he wore before. His feet are placed in a cunningly devised form, where the length and tho width are exactly determined. He bears his weight on this little machine and an officer and a non-commissioned offi cer take the size record of both feet, ' his name, company and regiment. Then he puts on a pair of shoes of the size called for. But that doesn't end it. There is a further device that checks on the measuring ma chine and catches any human .error In recording. This is put inside his shoe and he runs down an incline of 30 degrees, striking bis heels on the cleets nailed to it. If this lit tle machine does not make itself felt, and the shoe after examination by" an ofllcer ls found to be satisfac tory, the man ls fitted and his size is added to his service record. Our soldiors are provided with clean socks, and at the end of long marches the feet are carefully In spected by the surgeon in charge. No army in the world has ever attained such a health record as ours, the death rate being eight out of every thousand, hore and abroad. This would be even lower but for the barge number of men who come down with diseases to which they were exposed before leaving home. The average gain in weight of the American soldiers since entering the servico is twelve pounds per man. (Mrs.) Antoinette Funk, Director of Information Dept.

Her Husband Again Feels Like u Hoy and Nu Longer Worries. Mr. Philip Conrad, of Earl ton, N. j Y., suffered so that he used to get up in the middle or the night and sit and smoke and try to read to com pose his nerves. Now he feels like a boy of fifteen. The story of bis remarkable change was told by bis wife: "My husband suffered a shock last Christmas that left him almost help less," Mrs. Conrad said. "Ile became completely run down His nervous system' was so shattered that many A times he would get up in the mid dle of the night and walk the floor or smoke or try to read. He had no appetite and grew very weak. His stomach had become disordered and no food seemed to digest properly. "After we had tried many pre scription? without any results, our druggist recommended that wo try Tanlac. He said he thought lt was the best possible medicine that we could get for my husband, so I sent for a bottle. "He noticed almost immediate re sults from the first bottle, and after the fourth day he could sloop. ThlB started him to building up. He now sleeps well and has a fine appetite. Tanlac seems to have built up his entire system, as we wer"e told lt would. He says he feels like a boy of fifteen, he is so much better in every way. We are glad to let oth ers knew how good Tanlac ls, be cause we think that a medicine that will do what Tanlac does should be advertised everywhere, so people can learn of it and be benefited."

Washington, Oct. 17. - Groat ev?nts aro Impending in Germany. That they will come within a day, a week or a month, ofllcials will not hazard a guess; that they aro inevi table no one In Washington doubts. Official reports coming from Hol land and Switzerland that Germany Immediately will accept President Wilson's peace terms are without con fir iiiation here, nor is there any information that Germany's reply has been drawn. In fact, Swiss dis patches saying that the roichstag will meet to-morrow to discuss President Wilson's note indicate that no reply has as yet been drafted. ' Internal conditions, as well as tho niitary situation are expected to }tate both the form and prompt of Germany's answer. One was farded as only a little loss serious than the other; and there was al ways the possibility that, combined, they had forced the German leaders to a conclusion, even before the first note asking for an armistice was dis patched. From the veil of secrecy within the empire rumblings of discontent long have beon roaching the outside world, but the extent of the upheaval can not be acurately gauged. The fact that radical changes are being made ii. the German constitution, and un official reports that the kaiser has relinquished his power to declare martial law, were but further indi cations that the power of the junkers is rapidly waning. On the battlefields there was a clearer view of the extremities which the enemy has reached. Latest re ports, tell of a German retreat in Northenr Belgium on a tremendous scale. .Elsewhere along thc front from Verdun to the North Sea the Teu tons were resisting with a tenacity which most observera hero believe to be born of desperation.
