Symptoms of the disease appearing In any of the men Is the signal for the Immediate qunrnnllulug of the soldier's company and the barracks where ho Is located. Fumigation of the burracks then follows and every precaution Is taken to prevent an epidemic. An nfter-effect of menslos, greatly feared by uriny surgeons, Is (he devel opment of pneumonia, and It hns been found that the fatalities among ma ture persons aro much greater than with children. The pneumonia result tins been more prevalent In the canton ments located In 'the southern states than In 'those of the North or West,' Generally speaking, surgeons look for mumps at about the time that measles appear, nnd are rarely disap pointed. The fntnlltles through mumps do not begin to reach the number of those by measles, but the sumo rigid quarantine Is observed In both ruses. For many years the best surgeons 111 (lie nrmy hnvc been working on theories that would eradlcnto the source of these diseases, but Ihey have to ndinlt that they nre now noneurer n solution than ever before. This Is the senson of the yenr Hint the epidemics nsuully start, nnd it would not be surprising to henr of tho quarantining of entire canton ment posts in nil seel Ions of the coun try through the holiday season. iJi.j.'H''K''5"''l"l''H,'tS"!"J"J"S' THE ONLY SON Cy Robert Adoor Bowcn of the 4 Vigilantes.
