Heat exhaustion and heat stroke
which are different degrees of the
same condition, are a disturbance
of the heut regulating mechanism
of th< body, due to excessive heat
in an atmosphere with a high de
gree of humidity. The pondition is
preceded by a great reduction of
body fluid and is characterized by
collapue with or without a rise in
body temperature. Heat production
in the bixly occurs very largely by
oxidative processes in the muscles.
Heat loss is accomplished to a

nnd evaporation of perspiration.

Contractors' Water
Supply Safe to Drink
The water being supplied by the
contractors at Camp Adair is being
brought in from sources that have
been approved by the Oregon state
board of health. The water is sup
plied from either Corvallis, Al
bany, Camp Arboretum or the U. S.
engineers’ well. This water is and
will be strictly supervised by the
U. S. engineers and the state board
of health.
With the clarification of the
i water supply, it is therefore deemed
advisable that salt tablets be made
available to all employees. All
I persons are advised that upon tak-
I ing salt tablets at least one glass
1 of water per tablet is recommended
i by medical authorities and not
more than one tablet should be
1 taken every two hours during the
hours of excessive heat. The above
information should be complied
with as any variation will cause a
very severe gastric disturbance.
It is the duty of each and every
employee to secure adequate medi
cal attention for himself, or for
any fellow employee who is ill
from heat. This is especially im
portant as medical records show a
30 per cent fatality rating in heat
cases.
It cannot be too strongly em
phasized that the water being sup
plied by the contractors is ap
proved by the state board of health
and each employee should drink at
least 12 to 14 glasses of water each
day. Salt tablets should be re
garded only as an aid in the pre
vention of heat distress and not
as a cure.

As a feature of the service, de

“We are going to list all the

renter may get a good picture of
the property from its description
before he ever sees it,” Mr. Coch

on our part will be done in order
to save time and assist in the
choice by renters.”
