I he war department al feet of his neighbor, of stretching the tent flaps between beds and of sus pemLnt? a curtain down the center of the mess tuble, all are of proved value, liut the most efficient method for se eming isolation of the individual is the use of the face mask, made with three or four layers of gauze in the shape of a rectangle measuring 5 by 7 in.-hes. The mask has lomj been em ployed by surgeons as a filter for the expired air in the operating room. It lias been used successfully at the Du rand hospital by Dr. G. II. Weaver for the protection of physicians and nurses engaged in the care of patients with contagious disease." l)r. Capps then goes on to say that! the experiment of using the masks on patients war, tried at Camp Grant and was so successful thnt it was institut ed as a routine measure in most of the medial wards. "From February 1 to June 1, 101S," he says; ''the mask was in continuous operation. Whenever a case of scarlet fever broke out the ward was placed in quarantine for one week; when measles broke out the ward was quar antined for two weeks. "in twenty wards exposed to scarlet fever as n secondary infection only one subsennit case of scarlet fever developed during the week of quaran tine. "In eight wards exposed to measles as a secondary infection not a single ease of measles developed during the two weeks of quarantine. The system may be said to have been efficient in per cent of the exposure to scarlet fever and in 100 per cent of the ex posure to measles. "If this experience can be taken as a criterion we soon shall be justified in ignoring the quarantine of the wan! in these cio-s-iiifections, provided the system of marking is in good working order at the time of their appearance.'' Abstincts, of the discussion that fol lowed the article by Dr. Capps, taken from statemi nls made by many physi cians, show the efficiency of the mask in controlling and subduing broncho pneumonia.

Loud speech for five minutes Tn three out of four trials B. prodigiousus was recovered in moderate numbers cn plates one to four feet distant. Coughing for five minutes- In all of four trials B. prodigiosus was re covered, usually in large numbers, oil plates up to stx feet distant. In two trials in which plates were exposed up to 10 feet,- U. prodigiosus was once recovered up to seven, feet uid once up to ten feet. In experimenting with the mask on three sorts of material were employed, as follows: Coarse gauze, - medium gauze and buttercloth. From each sort masks were made of from two to ten layers in thickness. With the coarse gauze mask on the bacteria were recovered five times in mall numbers on plates at variable distances after ordinary conversation- ii speech for five minutes; after loud speech for five minutes the bacteria were found, on plates from one to four feet distant, and after coughing for five minutes they were recovered in every instance, Lxpcrimenting with the medium gniiie, after the first test the b.aetcria were recovered in small numbers only on the one-foot plate. A two-layer mask was used in this test. Using a two-layer mask the one-foot plate was heavily seeded after loud speech for five minutes. The third test, that of coughing for five minutes through tbe medium gauze mask of varying thick nesses, the bacteria were recovered in every instance in moderate numbers on nlates from two to six fet distant. The most successful ma sic Was the one made of huUercioth, according to the ' experimenters.
