Training Camps Seen as Health Boon to Country •i Citizens on Return From Mil itary Life Will Spread Gos , pel of Sanitation, Is Pointed Out. lly GEORGE F. AUTHIER. IV ’imtiiirgton Cormpondfnt Omaha Her. Washington, April 7.—Citizens' mil itary training camps not only will benefit the health of the men In train ing, but also Willi prove a powerful influence for improved health condi tions in the communities to which #»ese men return, Merritto W. Ire land, surgeon-general of the United States army, declares. Pointing out that public health can be secured only when people know the necessity of health measures, the for mer chief surgooa of tho A. E. F. as serted that young, men who receive training in correct hygiene at the military camps will carry back those ideas to their families and friends, and as tho number of young men increas es, every village and city in thf Unit ed States will have men whoso physi cal fitness and habits for good health will he an Incentive to others to ob serve and profit thereby. Out of 22,313 men in tho citizens' military training camps in 1922, Gen eral Ireland said, there were 2.937 cases of disease and injury with only two deaths, both of •which were due to appendicitis. Many of these men were ndmitted to sick statuJ for causes which would have passed al most unnoticed in civil life, he de clared. Slightest Illness Treated. This is in keeping, tho general ■aid, with the War department's poli cy that every man shall bo watched closely at all times, and the slightest ailment investigated and treated promptly. In this way, not only is Ills welfare in camp provided for, but he also is taught the wisdom of medi cal attention for apparently tinimpor taut infections ami injuries so that^ more serious conditions may be avoid ed. Referring to army statistics because tlie> extend over a longer period than civilian figures, tho general pointed out that 10# years ago an average of 30 men of every 1,000 in the army died each year of disease, while to day tho average is only three, or a re duction of 00 per cent. Similar ad vances have been made in civil life in the control of certain infections, he said, but, valuable as this work has been, it is by no means enough. There is not the slightest doubt, the general declared, that one of the most vital needs of the American people today Is that of preventing the de velopment or staying the progress of organic diseases, using the term to in clude all physical abnormalities not of a very infectious nature. A sound body, ho pointed out, is the basic re quirement for good health, and struc tural defects, abnormal development, chronic distases and other defects re sulting from violation of the Iawtf of right living reduce the net efficiency of the human body in proportion to the damage done. These abnormali- : ties are found In all walks of life, and are doubly regrettable because a great proportion of them might have been 1 revented. Health Rules Needed. % Rhysical examination of more than 4.000,000 young men during the world war, according to General Ire land, plainly show's the great need of universal knowledge of the rules of health. Of 2,010,000 drafed men be tween the ages of 18 and 30, 1,289.403, or 51 per cent, showed physical or mental defects, and 21 per cent were physically or mentally unfit for any military service. Among the men who were physically unfit, 1,533,9^ defects were found. These facts Indicate the general ef fects on the health of the nation of neglect. Ignorance and poor social conditions. General Ireland Mid, and added that It is quite evident that •nany-of the abnormalities might have been corrected in their earlier stages, v Idle others represent the penalty for tilt- violation of nature's laws. Many factors, sucli as racial lnllu onces, occupation anil tho driving force of economic conditions are^ in volved in tho production of these do frets, he declared, but the indisput able fa< t remains that by far tli£ greater number could have been pre vented or i radicated In their early stages bad tho health measures of today been known and applied. The generally prevailing notion that military service requires a much higher degree of physical fitness than the activities .of civil life is clearly false, the general sAid, provided equal efficiency is demanded in each in stance, since, the unfit man is ham pered in his vocation, whether it is civilian or military, in exact propor tion to the degree of his disablement. •Since all health measures for the prevention of organic or chronic ab normalities depend upon the help of the people, their knowledge of condi tions and needs is the first step in the campaign, the general nsserted. Tlcc ognlzlng that, knowledge Is all essen tial. the War department Is attempt ing to spread the gospel of good hralth through the summer training camps, and, though this plan Is still in its infancy, it has already proved invaluable ns a means of broadcasting; the principles of health and the need for physical fitness. “Reporter” Harvey to Study Farm Strike in England London, April 7.—Ambassador Har vey will visit Norfolk in the near future to study the troubles growing out of the attempt by the farmers to cut down the pay of laborers.

Five of the children are under 15. (tmall wonder they greet Miss Anna Quinlan, the Visiting Nurse, so joy fdlly at the gate, for her skillful aid has been a great blessing to them. The father has been unable to work’ for two years with chronic heart disease and rheumatism. See the chubby tot at the gate. When she tirst was brought to the ■ lujiior league infant welfare station she was sb ill from improper feed ing and pneumonia the Visiting Nurse did not think she would live, but milk from The Omaha Uee Milk Fund was supplied and this mother uses her meager resources to the best ad vantage. ■ So carefully did she carry out the Visiting Nurse’s instructions that this, 11-2-year-old baby, carrying her 20 pounds 14 ounces so sturdily, is the fcsult. Fourteen hundred babies are now registered at the six Visiting Nurse in fant welfare stations, receiving free medical attention and Instruction In proper feeding Twenty-five thousand dollars Is the amount the Visiting Nurse associa tion must have Visiting Nurse week, April 23-28, to carry on its work until next January.

April 7.—Sir Arthur Conun Doyle, brought gasps of sur prise from a large audience In Car negie hall last night when he threw on the screen "the greatest spirit picture In the world," depicting hundreds of faces—faces that the lecturer declared were those of soldier dead. "Do you see the dead creeping through?” he asked dramatically us he pointed to the spectral faces on the screen. "You can seu them everywhere.” The lecture was drawing to a close. Sir Arthur had flashed on the screen a number of photographs he had brought with him on his former visit, when, without warn- ] ing. he showed hla "greatest pic- | tores.” They were taken, he said, on the nrmivereary of Armistice Day by Mrs. Dean, an Knglish medium, and showed the crowds around the cenotaph of the un known soldier in Ixmdon, observing two minutes Idlence. The first picture was ordinary, except for a small thophorescent patch where Sir Arthur said sever al mediums stood. As the second picture flashed on the serein a woman in the audience cried out: “Don’t you see them? Can't you see them?" , The crowd seemed blotted out in the^st-cond photograph. Around the cenotaph were hundreds of spectral faces, some blurred, some distinct, lyit all distinguishable for a tight lipped grimmess.

While gray, faded hair Is not sinful, we all desire to retain our youthful appearance and attractiveness. By darkening your hair with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound, no one can tell, because it does it so nat urally, so evenly. Tou just dampen a sponge or soft brush with It and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time: by morning all gray hairs have disappeared. After another application or two your hair becomes beautifully dark, glossy, toft and luxuriant and you appear years younger. ECZEMA CAN BE CURED Free Proof To You.
