Net only is the present world con-
test the greatest of all wars, but in
many ways it is different from any
preceding conflict. One of the most
striking of the contrasts between this
and former wars is In health condi-
tions, the toll which sickness and dis-
ease has taken of the soldiers. In
*— eTery other war the number of sol-
diers whose deaths were due to dis-
ease wae many times greater than
the number killed outright or dying
as the result of wounds. In this
war just the opposite conditions
have obtained. There has been no
jiif,o oo r«al epidemics of typhoid or other
[diseases. The loss in killed and
KstiuiateEnsuing Year i °unded has been terrible, making
i every other contest seem insiRnifi-
Icant." Hut unless a soldier was direct
! ly injured his chances of health have
j been good.
j This has not been due to luck and
chance. It has been due to the tak-
ing of the most elaborate precautions

rying out in an Intensive manner of

We. the undersigned, duly elected, qualified and' actina officers of Can t

1M foregoing statement of the fiscal condition of said township I strue and
' orrect, anil that the amounts enumerated in the statement ..f estimated need*,
are reasonably neeessary f,„ current expenses in the proper conduct of lh«
good health. In this connection it
is interesting to observe tte precau-
tions which were followed out in one
of Ihe Canadian expeditionary forces,
carried out with such success that
out of more than 52,000 men only
452 died of disease. An official sum-
mary of these precautions is as fol- j
lows:
InocuTstion agains| typhoid and j
para typhoid fevers.
Incineration and burial of all ex-
creta which might contain danger-
ous gerins.
Prevention of breeding places for
flies, general sanitation.
Filtration and chlorination of wa-
lor.
Field laboratories for investigat-
ing epidemics, research, scientific,
diagnostic work. etc.
Rapid removal of all cases of in-
fectious disease from the army; In-
spection of care and food; No raw
milk or vegetables used.
Army baths, frequent issue of
clean underwear and socks.
Sick parades. Treatment of mild
disorders by medioal officers, car
disorders by army officers, rare of
feet.
Itest .stations and convalescent
homes for tired and mildly shocked
soldiers.
Plenty of good and varied food, i
warm clothing and exercise.
Healthful recreations and amuse-
ments.
Some of these provisions apply
particularly to army life and condi- j
tions. but most of them, it will be
noted, would be equally useful and
easily applicable to civil life.
