Various Cantonments.
AitoKt'tlit-i- 7.mk men w'.M have t
be transpo'-teil to the various canton
ments tlint the government is building
to house the national army. The
movement w'll start Sept. 5. Between
tbti'. ilate ami Sep:. 1) the railroads will
.complete the ontrHiniuen't of ,200,000
men, or approximately 30 per cent of
the total nnnilw si liedtiled to bo mov
ed to the vnriona training camps.
It fs exported that a secoiu' move
ment of approximately 200,000 men will
begin on Sept. ID. oontlinUnjr for four
days thereafter, and a third movement
cf the same si: e on Oct. 3.
Some conception of the magnitude of
the task confronting- the American
Hallway association In preparing sched
ules that w!il assure the safe and
prompt traiisior;atloii of these armies
without Interfering with regular trafllc
may tie gleaned from the fact that to
move merely one field army of 80,000
men requires G.229 cars made up Into
800 trains with as many locomotives
and tram trews.
Meanwhile. In addition to moving
the 087,000 rcctuic3 for the national
army,' the railroads have been asked
to supply transportation for the 350,000
members of the national guard to their
training camps. This national guard
movement, 1ms already started and will
continue in increasing volume until all
have been moved.

LockjawandHowtoPreveniIt
TIIK cause of lockjaw, or tetanus,
as doctors call it, is a germ which
naturally inhabits the intestine
of horses, cows, sheep and otVer ani
mals. This germ pollutes the ground
wherever animals run, and lu the sum
mer time it may survive in the 'ma
nure and dirt for a long period. There
fore a wound sustained on the road
way, about the barn or barnyard or in
A GOOD CHANCE FOR LOviKJAW.
A slight wound infected with manure
is likely to cause lockjaw. Safety
First.
tho cyrton l vinro lHWe to admit the
germ to tlie blood.
Every one knows that when we vac
cinate we endeavor to scratch the skin
' without causing actual bleeding, le
cause bleeding washes out the virus
j and prevents a "take." Well, the same
I holds true in a certain measure in lock
Jaw infection or other-kinds of. blood
poisoning. A slight abrasion, scratch.
' puncture or cut that bleeds little or
mm n st all is riiore likely to lie fol
lowed by lockjaw than a freely bleed
ing, open wound.
Perhaps if every slight wound were
at once antiseptically treated by apply
ing tincture of iodine thoroughly or
by having the doctor cauterize it with
stronger germicides no Jock jaw or oth
er blood poisoning eoufd occur. But if
you neglect the trifling injury for sev
eral hours there is always a certain
chance of such' infection.
TvwIHhw Is so named because one of
the earliest symptoms Is stiffness about
the throat and jaw, a sensation like a
"sore throat" coming on. This may be
felt from a few days to two or three
' weeks after a slight injury. Besides,
the victim is very nervous, twitchy and
jumps when the least bit startled. As
' the attack goes on stiffness of the mus
1 clcs of the body everywhere will be
felt, with jerky Switchings and finally
severe convulsions.
The safest treatment of all trifling
wounds in warm weather is immediate
antiseptic or :, cauterizing- applications
by a doctor and t hen a hypodermic in
' jectlon of lock law antitoxin. Probably
! no case of lockjaw has ever occurred

after this antitoxin has been adminis
tered at the time of the accident.
A wound in which lockjaw infection
Is present may appear to be. healing
perfectly. Sometimes, however, there
are drawing or shooting sensations In
or near the wound, or a feeling of ten
sion or fatigue annoys the victim for
days liefore the onset of more serious
trouble.
In a case of deep puncture or stab
wound or a wound In which the tlssiu-a
are much lacerated and crushed or one
In which foreign matter, such as pow
der, cinders, dirt or particles of cloth
ing, is imbedded it Is always advisable
to have the wound laid open and thor
oughly cleaned out by a doctor at t lie
earliest possible moment, as such In
juries offer ideal conditions for the de
velopment of lockjaw infection.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
A Test That Does Not Signify.
If one placed a Isittle of urine on a
shelf and let It stand for twenty-four
hours, does the npicaranee of a sedi
ment Indicate kidney trouble?
Answer. No. Sediment would naturally
settle In a specimen standing for several
I. ours in a fulrly warm place, even if the
individual Is perfectly well. That Idea Is
one of the tricks by which purveyors of
worthless kidney medicines perauaae cred
ulous folk to buy the stuff.
Tonsilitis Is Catching.
Is acute tonsilitis catching?
Answer. Kvery simple "cold," so called,
and every acute sore throat Is catching.
The perms which may produce a "bad
cold" in one case may produce a severe
attack of tonsilitis in the next victim or
an attack of pneumonia In some one else.
If nil alleged common "colds" and sore
throats were dealt with as carefully as
diphtheria is dealt with by IntelllKent peo
ple nowadays this disease would becoma
as rare as diphtheria now Is.
Preparedness Against Typhoid.
1 am planning to spend a month In a
place where there has been consider
able typhoid fever. What precautions
cat) 1 take to avoid the fever?
Answer. Present yourself to the family
doctor a month before you go away and
have him administer the prophylactic (vac
cine) treatment, which will be your best
protection aganFt infection In any circum
stances. (
The Dose of Antitoxin. ,
Are 31.1KH) units of antitoxin an over
dose lor a mwlorate cusc of diphtheria
ill a boy eleven years old?
AiiMwcr.-Often at least 30,000 units would
be necessary in order to neutralize 30,01
units of diphtheria poison in a little pa
tient's blood. The diphtheria germs work
night, and day to kill the boy. The anti
toxin ought to be given In too small dosee.
never too large doses.
Beef, Iron and Wine Versus Milk.
is beef, irou.aud wine a good thing
to build up the blood of a person who
is run down and weat' ?
Answer. You could put nhnut all the
beef and iron in the bottle in your fcyt
without irrltuUi.Kv the eye. much.. It is
present chletly on the label, As for the
wine, nfter you have extracted the kick
from the wine-tho alcohol there Is darn
ed little left in it for your blood. A pin
.viiiu r n anndwieh or an apple or a
dish of hog and hominy will give the blood
moru building material than many bottles
of beef, Iron and wine.
