B R s o o t R o FUNSTON 70 KEEP ARMY CAMPS CLEAN Will Also See to it That Sol- diers Are Given Plenty to Eat. HOW IT WILL BE DONE San Antonio, Tex., July 28—Old Man Fly will have little place in the United States army on the Mexican border if Major General Funston and the medical corps officers pf the southern department have their way about it. The army officers in charge of the 08,000 state troops now along the in- ternational boundary have one ol;)ec! in view: That is to make the sanitary condition of the guardsmen as nearly perfect as possible and promptly to nail and retute all the yarns of poor food and bad surroundings that the state guardsmen write back to the folk at home and which the home-folk im mediately. turn over to the town news- plger. teps already have been taken to courtmartial two Wisconsin privates who sent telegrams to Seénator La Follette complaining of their food The facts were these: New York guardsmen set out with only five days’ travel rations, ate them up, got hungry and raided all the wholesale warehouses around the railway station at Cleveland. General Funston imme- diately telephoned all other state or- ganizations en route to supply their men with ten days’ travel rations. The “Badgers” were given ten days' travel rations, Naturally they had a lot of food left when they reached Camp Wilson, San Antonio, and they were made to eat it up before lhe{ were given fresh rations, That is all there was to it. “A regular will live six days on five days’ travel rations,” General Funston said. “A militiaman or a volunteer will consume it in two days.” Following are some of the regula- tions got up and distributed by Lieu- tenant Colonel Munson, medical corps, in charge of sanitary matters along the border: Destruction of Flies. Flies are a n#l nuisance in camp and read . op: disease. Every offort will be made to kesp down their numbers and prevent their development. Any area on which flies cluster will be burned over destroying thelr food and will be hung from the ridge tents, and requisition for be made on the camp quartermaster. company will at once make requisition on camp quartermaster for three fly traps and maintain ssme in operation.
