tention is that soldiers at Camp
Travis are better looked after than
99 out of every 100 men at large. The
least of the things that should cause
anxiety for relatives and friends is the
health of the soldiers at Camp Travis
FJvery officer at Camp Travis must
cooperate with and coordinate his ef-
forts with the medical officers, who
are supreme in all things that con-
serve and preserve the health of the
soldiers.
That the energies expended to keep
the soldiers at Camp Travis in pood
health arc worth while is attested by
the fact that no community, no city in
the south with 30,000 population can
point to such splendid results as have
been the fruit of this care and at-
tention. There are fewer cases of
sickness at Camp Travis today than in
any city in this state of one third the
population of Camp Travis. As the
men are built physically and become
hardened to all things that affect the
health this sickness will be still
further decreased, for at Camp Travis
there is being waged a fight that
never ends and there is being main-
tained a vigilance that never flags to
maintain the highest health standard
that modern science and demonstrate i
1 methods can devise.

No ailment is given more careful at-
tention than the c->mmon cold, for the
common cold often furnishes a splen-
did breeding ground for pneumonia.
Pneumonia has appeared in this
camp, just like it has appeared in
other communities in this state.
Against no disease is there waged :•
more vigilant war than against pneu-
monia. A common cold is taken in
hand by the physicians when it first
appears. Those-thus affected are not
passed from under observation of phy-
sicians until it has been found that
the common cold is that and notliin)
more.
The medical corps of the army be-
lieves firmly and practices religiously
that an ounce of prevention is worth
a pound of cure. To the end that (lis

GOOD SUGGESTION
The following from the Dallas
News applies with equal force to
Norman and other cities and towns
j and localities. A tremendous lot of
firewood could be secured in the viein-
| it-v of Norman by this means. The
I News says:
; "From a Dallas lady comes a sug-
gestion to the effect that if she had a
[ horse and wagon, and could borrow an
I ax, she could procure her winter's
j firewood near home by chopping the
dead trees in sight from the various
[ roads leading out of the city. It is
i true. There are enough dead trees.
I not to mention the living ones, within
ja few miles of nearly every town in
i Texas east of the ninety-seventh meri

I unable to pay for coal. But the peo-
] pie have got the «'oal habit, just likt
! they have got or are getting the bak-
er's bread habit, the ready-made dress
habit, the store-bought habit general
i ly. For the individual to do things
for himself or herself, like cutting- his
| own firewood, baking her own bread
or making her own dresses, has come
to be considered rather primitive. The
i easiest way is the chosen way. There
| fore the habit of buying coal and leav
ing perfectly good timber to rot has
become so fastened upon the people
that they accept the condition as 'God
! ordained.' Furthermore, there an
hundreds of cords of old crossties and
1 bridge timbers and telephone or tele
graph poles of fence posts heaped u|
and burned, to get them out of the
way, along the right of ways of near
ly every railroad whose facilities art-
such that it can't haul enough coal to
supply the demand. Waste is a
greater enemy to America than tin
Germans are. We can whip the Lor
mans on equal terms any day in the
week but waste has almost paralyzed
a considerable portion of our people."
