NEV, BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, THURSDAY, AUGUST 24, 1 NCONDAY LUNCH ITAMto2P M FOR MEN AND WOMEN 25¢ ‘HUDSON LUNCH PERSHING'S MENIN BEST OF CONDITION Sick Rate in Punitive Expedition Is 1.6 Per Gent. Field Headquarters American Puni- tive Expedition, Mexico, Aug. 24— " Only six deaths from disease and a present sick rate of 1.5 per cent. for the American punitive expedition since it entered Mexico more than five months ago was the record con- tained in official figures given out here by the sanitary depart- ment. Adding the number of sick being treated at the base hospital to those in the fleld, the rate is in- creased to 2.5 per cent. There has not been a single case of typhoid, the prevailing ailment being dysentery. “This is a remarkable record for en expedition serving in this sort of & country with nothing but field equip- ment,” declared Gen. J. J. Pershing, commander of the punitive expedi- tion, when shown the department's figures.”” It probably is as low a rec- ord as any similar expedition ever has set and shows the wonderful OLD SORES, ULCERS AND ECZEMA VANISH ‘GOOd, 0Old, Reliable Peterson’s Oint- | ment a Favorite Remedy- | tion, 284 MAIN STREET strides made = | within the last few y and the high | efficiency of the sanitary department. “It also shows the high apprecia- tion of sanitary regulation by line officers, who hav | account for violations by those com- | mands. Only once during the life of {the expedition has there been what | threatened to become an epidemic. This occurred recently at a camp | south of headquarters, where the wa- | ter caused a number of cases of amoe- | bic dysentery. When the sick rate climbed to five per cent. the chief sur- | geon and his entire corps were sent | from headquarters. A quick and ex- | haustive study of camp conditions was | made and measures were taken which soon reduced the rate to 1.7 per cent. The chief means used in curing the | epidemic was the chloridantion bag. | This destroyed the organisms in the { water which caused the disease. At one time there were 125 cases at the camp mentioned. There are now 13. From available data it appears that the sick rate in the expedition is 1 than half that of the United States. | _San Antonio, Tex.

Hughes, the republican nominee for | president. of play day. - | The people made it a sort | Nohody seemed greatly interested in politics. Everybody wanted to see Mr. Hughes and his | wife. In a big, open-handed way, the residents were anxious also to give the Hughes party a good time. But they did not get out anything like the crowd that greeted Colonel Roose- velt in 1912 when he came here as the progressive candidate for presi- dent. Woodrow Wilson carried the state. The city staged a big barbecue for the Hughes party and served tons of beef and beans. Ordinary people ran around with plates in their hands and scooped up whatever they could. There was a table for the visitors. Mr. | Hughes entered into this spirit of fun until it came time for him to speak from the court house steps at 3 o'clock. Then he put aside all thought that the affair, so far as the | arrangements were concerned, was a | sort of non-partisan event. He at- tacked the administration without re- straint and talked protective fariff. which, however, isn’t the issue here that it was in California. But the speech was not the Dig event of the day; it was the visit of Mr. and Mrs. Hughes. Their presence put “pep” into the life of Reno, in- cluding the divorce colony. Mr. Hughes faced the strangest audience since he left New York.. There were cowboys and coweirls, Indians, men and women from all parts of the country, and varied types of Nevada's native sons and daughters. It seemed to be a spot where east met west and where everybody took everybody else for granted at his face value. The only thing that didn’t seem to | disturb anybody in Reno was the fact | that 1916 is the year of a presidential election. Everybody who has asked | about it, except the politicians, sa “Yes, T suppose so, and probably Wil- |'son will he elected.”” The next 1e- | mark as a rule was something like | this: “Do you think Mr. Hughes js | puritanical? That's what we hear ont this way, coupled with the fact that he is a nice, honest, straightforward man. You see, many of us come from New York, where he shut down on the race tracks, and perhaps that is the reason we get that impression.” That was about all the politics any one would talk, except the politicians. With politics out of the way the lat- est Reno story as a rule relate? It ran someth thi What is intere : don't down to the ern Paci ion to see the come in and the untied go out.” It was difficult work for Mr. Hughes to make his visit here a serious po- | litical undertaking under such cireum- stances, especially when one of the | irst invitations he received was to | take an automobile ride in the after- noon with Governor Emmet Boyle and J.

They say that nobody in Reno or hereabouts wants war of ~he kind that is being waged in Europe. This issue, the fact that President Wilson kept the country out of with any of the European powers, will play a big part in the campaign. That feeling is working strongly for the president here, as It is in other states visited. The socialist vote here is heavy, the party polling more votes | in 1912 than the republicans. Many it was sald, would vote for Wilson on [ the war issue and because of his ef- forts to ald organized labor.
