ASK OBSERVANCE OF
SIMPLE HEALTH RULES
Don’t sneeze, cough or spit,
is Surgeon General’s Health
appeal.
A nationwide “anti-cough,
sneeze,-spit” campaign has
been inaugurated by Surgeon
General Gorgas, of the U. S.
Army, and the State and local
boards of health have been
called upon to intensify this
campaign in Arkansas. The slo
gan of this campaign is “Dont
spit, don’t cough,don’t sneeze.”
In case it becomes necessary to
do either, bow the head and
place a handerchief or the hare
hand over the mouth and nose.
The germs of the diseases
which have caused most of the
sickness and deaths in the ar
my camps are carried in the
secretions of the nose and the
mouth and are transmitted
largely in this way. Among the
diseases thus communicated
are pneumonia, measles, diph
theria, mumps, meningitis, in
fantile paralysis, influenza and
| tuberculosis. These are espec
ially communicable in street
! cars, railway coaches, theaters,
[churches and all other public
or private gatherings.
Surgeon General Gorgas
makes the followingstatement:
“Thousands of our soldiers
who have been treated in army
hospitals for respiratory dis
eases since we went to war,
would not have had these dis
eases communicated to them
had they^mnd their fellow sol
diers taken proper precautions
against promiscuous coughing,
sneezing and spitting. I think
it is safe to say that a large
proportion of the cases of re
spiratory diseases in the camps
would have been prevented
had the men been more care
ful and broken themselves of
this disease carrying habit of
unguarded coughing and sneez
ing."

CAMP PIKE NOTES v
P II II 11 II II 'll II II « P
Camp Pike, June 17.—To a
casual observer in camp and
on the streets ot Little Rock
last week it must have looked
as though it had rained second
lieutenants. During the week
1,500 officers from the various
Third Officers Trailing Schools
of the country arrived here for
assignment among the newraen
that are now in camp, and a
mong the 17,000 that will ar
rive the latter part of the
month. It is a busy time in all
parts of the camp and the
warm weather helps one to re
alize that summer and sweat
are quite one and the same
thing.
W hue court martial reports
have not heretofore been refer
red to in these letters, it will
be of interest to all who have
relatives and friends in the ar
my to know of one special in
stance here at Camp Pike. A
sergeant at the 4th Training
Battalion of the 162nd Depot
Brigade was accused and found
guilty of saying. “Let him die;
I don’t care,’’ when a private
was reported ill in the barracks
under his care. The sergeant
was sentenced to five years at
hard labor in a military prison
to forfeit ail pay, and at the
end of his sentence, to be dis
honorably discharged from the
army. There is no place in the
United States army for the of
ficers who are indifferent to
the physical condition of their
men.
Some of the strongest men
in the United States are ap
pearing nightly on the Y. M.
C. A. platforms in the army
camps of this country and on
the fighting line in France as
well. The list includes men
from all lines of industry, and
of course the number is great
est of preachers, lecturers and
singers. Last week Camp Pike
had the pleasure of hearing
Miss Enid Watkins of Oakland,
Cal., a noted singer of the Pa
cific Coast, and it was a rare
treat to all who had the good
fortune of hearing her.
Governor Brough has spoken
at several of the “Y” buildings
the last week or two and has
proven a favorite with the men
every time. His addresses here
have been a combination of ap
peals to the patriotic,home lov
ing and religious feelings of
the men that have met with
their hearty response. He is
one of the strongest friendsthe
“Y” has in Arkansas and it
never makes a call that he
does not answer if he possibly
can.
Just about the most popular
places right now in the camp
are. the ice water fountains at
the “Y” buildings, and they are
saving many a nickel and dime
for the men who would other
wise be making a bee line for
the canteens and exchange for
“anything cold.”
Camp Pike will get 6,000
men from Missouri in the draft
quota that begins- within the
next few days. It will be the
firstvquota that has been sent
direct to Camp Pike from that
state. We are getting ready to
“show” the Missouri men.
