Physician Asserts That Disease Is 8o Thoroughly Eliminated That a 8lck Man Is a Curiosity. Readers with relatives and friends at the front should get considerable comfort from a study of the mortality statistics of the armies recently put forward by a well-known physician, London Tit-Bits state. While his fig ures are not so fuvorable as those given out from Pari Indicating that all kinds of permanent tawi" killed, captured, missing and disabled aggre gate but 8 per cent per annum of the effective forces engaged, they are nev ertheless distinctly encouraging. He finds that about sixty men per 1,000 are being killed and 150 wound ed and that a very large proportion of the latter return to the trenches. This, naturally, Is not to be compared with the normal death rate In time of peace vl weu oi military age, which in out eight per 1,000; bnt it Is a vast Im provement upon the showing of any previous war. For one thing, disease has been so thoroughly eliminated that a sick man 37 More For Your Money Get the Genuine CASCARJg QUININE Ms advance la pries far this 19- rtmr. otd remedy 15c f of 24 tabW- r-e cold tablets now 30c tot 31 t.ihl.-u Piaurad on proportionata coat p.-r tablet, you tava 9ie wha you l..t In 24 bourt trip in t day, Mopey back if it fail. 24 TabUu for "o.

The soldier at the front ' Is certainly less liable to attack than , if he were at home. Everything he I rats and drinks and wears, almost j everything he touches. Is subject to : the finest medical supervision of which science Is capable, and if any particu larly persistent bacillus were to get Into his system In spite of all precau tions. It would find him In such su perb condition that Its work would be futile. The high commands have thor oughly learned the lesson that It does not pay to train a man to be a soldier and then lose him from a cause that Is In the least degree preventable. By this same token, experience, both In the protection of the soldier and In the care of the wounded, Is stead ily reducing the death rate as the war progresses. Not only are new tactics constantly being developed which re- suit In loss exposure of the Individual soldier, but he is constantly being better equipped with defensive ap paratus to minimize the effects of bul let or shrapnel or gas attack. Finally, from many classes of wounds which would have spelled probable death In 1914 and certain crippling In 1015, re covery Is now almost a matter of course. The drafted man who goes as an or dinary soldier, taking his Judgment with him and leaving his excessive en thusiasm behind, has every chance of coming back, and In better physical condition than when he left.
