To I -have those spirqeheta pallida in one's hlnnrt rantlnr ? nnr nn nno in rtamnn Hktlon enough for anyone. That is 'I- what every "Regular" most desires to I v avoid?and it can be avoided?for syphilis is a preventable disease. _ Syphilis,. sometimes called the pox 1^ is caused .by a tiny germ scientifically I.- known as- the "spirocheta pallida." Under the microscope it Is seen to be "v. a very active spiral-shaped organism. When this germ enters a sore or scratch anyw'""-re on the human body it soon t, ke3 its way into the ;JKRj?; blood, becomes . very numerous, and makes its way to all parts of the body; carried by the blood. In order ~ to get rid of the disease it is necessary for the germ to be killed. This JUfV is very difficult and requires long, j>a: tient, and conscientious treatment, often extending over several years. Syphilitic sores contain thousands !%:: . of Kerms.' When such a sore comes in contact with a cut or scratch on a healthy person, or even with the mucous membrane of the sex organs, tho gSrm may quickly penetrate into the blood and infect one with the Idisease. Most eases are acquired KgBv, through tho practice of sexual intercourse with a prostitute, although .one may become infected by coming, in contact with a person, or article .Hiused by a person who has syphilis, _ in an infectuous"stage, tegfei.. .". Sometime after the germ of syphilis has entered--the bod^a stfr? varyjV ing in ?ise, appears Wm the site of JHpr- the entrance. This sore which if . called a chancre disappears of. itself, SgB? . ' 'but more quickly if treated. This, 's- however, does not mean that the dis3 ease is cured for most of tfte germs Eg*) have 'by this time entered the blood and the dtBease will break out later In another way. V A few weeks after the appearance "" of the phancre, the secondary sympragr i' ? toms manifest themselves, usually by I - (.aimintr ?nflrfl1 .111 fuflnff wnr-A 1 1- throat, eruption of the akin, etc. I . These symptofns vary, in severity. The akin eruption la sometimes very slight1 and may resemble any of the con tagious diseases. The sores which often occur in the mouth at this time are extremely dangerous to others. Kissing, and the use of public uten- sils shonljl be absolutely prohibited during this stage. After a few days the symptoms disappear, but the disease Is still in the blood and is likely to break out again even after many years have passed. In later years, syphilis if uncured, _ may attack almost any tissue of the 1 ~ body. It is usually a deep 'destruc. tive process?eating away the piuiclcs, bones or nerves. Blood vessels are especially' susceptible and when eroded by the disease, serious consequences result. Vigorous treatment may stop the destruction of the tissues, but It cannot replace bones once destroyed. However if treatment is faithfully followed in the early stages of the disease, these latteF manifestations are extremely unlikely to ap. Certain - nerve cells in the spinal cord regulate the control of muscular action. These cells are the favorite prey of the poison of syphilis in its late stage and when destroyed cause the condition known as Locomotor RSr _ Ataxia, in which the patient loses the , control of his muscles. Probably or/; more than 95 per cent of Locomotor Axtaxia Is due to syphilis. J?,'The brain Is made up'of countless MKQfew delicate nerve cells. The cells may lBMi*:. ' d>e attacked and destroyed by syphilis " years -after all optward symptoms . BRilc - have disappeared. Since it is impossible for new cells to grow in their f places, these functions of the brain QS-r- regulated by them are destroyed. Hiwi - - Twenty-five per ceht of the insanity * of the United States is .due to this ? cause. A frequent cause of miscarriage IS wSv^-'- syphilis 4n the parents. In other fpF-- cases the child is born at full term, but is weakened in body and mind. 58?/. - or deformed and wholly incapable of s?J'. making a living. All persona who ' have reason to believe they have syphilis should learn whether any traces of the-, disease "remain before . marrying. .JBy_ means of blood tests and other examinations a physician itttEtf -- / will be able to assist you in deterS*'-.''. mining this question. * Most * people acquire syphilis ' through sex relations; others by inti i- -T .... mate contact, as' kissing; and some i -through' contact with infected tow r ' ' els, drinking cups, contaminated eat- j ''is.

Most prostitutes, (public and private) have had syphilis. Syphilis should never be thought of as the "shameful disease"?not as disease, but as immorattly is shameful. BASE HOSPITAL BREVITIES. The barracks baseball league is one of the most flourishing institutions at the base hospital. In the early part of the spirited race the nine from barracks No. 7 defeated the men from barracks No. 3 by a score of 7 to 1, while barraclfs No. 6 drubbed the stick and .mit artists of barracks No. 5 by a 4 to 1 score. ^ Capt.

HEADQl'AItTKKS CO., 3?TII INFANTRY. The morning-was told and black and with each inan as quiet as a mouse. The intense silence seeqied to hold the new recruits spellbound. All at once a terrible rumbling was heard. "An earthquake," some one cried. Each man gripped his rifle tightly . and set his jaws. Steady, men, it was only Private Ross answering roll call. If there is anything you want to know, ask Ivory. lie has been through the mill. For a'good definition of a pencil, see Sergeant Tagliabud of the Pioneers.
