BISMARCK DAILY TRIBUNE ATURDAY, JAN.” 18, 1919. “2 — KEEPS WATCH ON ‘SEAMEN’S H HEALTH Uncle Sam Will Take Take Goed Care of His Merchant Crews. SEAMAN'S BOT BOTTLE 1S LATEST Contains Passports to Good Health by | Providing Free Hospital Treat- ! ment Anywhere—Days of the i Dog's Life Now History. | i 8 * Washington—Uncle Sum is getting Imore watchful of the heulth of his merchant crews as the great Araerican Ppeace-time fleet continues to grow. The Intest innovation cf the United {States shipping board in the “scaman’s fbottle,” which has now become one of ‘the charished possessions of hundreds \of American seamen. This little glass bottle, emall enough to be carried in the vest pocket, con- tains passports to good health—print- ed forms which, when filled ont by a ship's captain, will gain admittance for the holder to es ma- rine hospital or relief station of the public health se: ‘ein every impor- tant port in the United States. On a foreign voyage the application will pro- vide the seaman with the best medical care, free of charge, on application to the United States cwmsular officer. At present the bettle is being pro- vided only for men whe have been trained for a sea career by the recruit- ing service of the shipping board, but in the opinion of Surgeon General Blue every Amevican seaman should have one. It is in port that the new aman's | bottle,” which was originated by Dr. Louis W. Croke, medical director of the shipping board recruiting eervice, plays its chief part. A seaman in need of medical attention has merely to dig the bottle out of his kit, bring the printed form to his skipper to be filled out and then go ashore to the nearest federal official. Free Hospital Care. The label which bears the imprint of | the board's reeruiting service informs | the senfarer that he is entitled to free hospital care no matter what his sta- tion aboard ship, The term “seamen,” {t says, means not only the men who are employed on deck but per: ployed on board in the care, prese tion or nay ion of the ship, and it even includes those who are in the service, on board, of those engaged in euch care, preservation or navigation. When discharged by the medical au- jthorities the American seaman given free passage to the port from which he originally signed, unless the articles provide for discharge else- where, or if in a foreign port to some port in the United States. He must serve on board the ship on which his passage has been arranged if possible. The “seaman’s bottle” not only wilk impress upon Americans who are going to sea the privileges to which they arp entitled as seamen of the United States but will preserve the certificate and keep it clean. Years ago, in the days of the clipper ship, and even since that time, the sick or disabled American sailor at sea or in a foreign port had no resource but the charity of his captain or ship- mutes. Old-time skippers generally prescribed and supplied a blue pill and the crews were not burdened with funds to lend. Harrowing tales have been told of those dark days of the merchant ma- rine, of men forced to lie for weeks in cramped, foul-smelling forecastles, often beset by rats and without proper food, light, air or clothing. If the man lived until reached port some sort of care might | be. provided for him, but hundreds died, were buried at sea; their togs were sold and they were soon forgot- ten, the ship | j Must Carry Medicines.

Scurvy, that scourge of the old days, has practically disappeared from the American mercantile magipe because of the liberal supplies of lime or lemon juice, sugar and vinegar that are now required to be carried on evety ship on a long voyage and toe given daily to the crew within ten drys after salt provisions have been chiefly served to ‘them.

Good Player’ Should Be Able to Shoot Good Golf Anywhere. Professional Claims That It Is on ule Own Course That He Makes Poor Showing—Chick Evans Was One Exceptions “A good golfer should be able to shoot good golf anywhere,” says Jack Hoag in Chicago Evening Post. “It is fairly easy for an intelligent man to study his home course until be can go around it in respectable figures.

She is buried in a little cemetery for race horses at North Randall, Ohio, believed to be the only one of its kind located on a race course. A large monument has been erected to her: memory by her owner, Chauncey Sears.’ The little cemetery bids fair soon to be populated with memorials to the -memory of the class of the harness world. A monument to Lee Axworthy, world’s champion trotting stallion, is being planned by his owner, H. K. Devereux. The bones of the famous stallion would alsc have been buried at North Randall, but, at the request of the Museum of National History, in New York, were mounted and placed there. Another monument planned is to the memory of the great trotter, St. Frisco, which died recently.
