ie 3 > WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, FRIDAY, APRIL 25, 1919 7 DISEASES THAT WILL BE BROUGHT BACK BY SOLDIERS "What contagious diseases will our soldiers bring back from Europe?" This is the question which Dr. W. A. Evans of the medical faculty of Northwestern university answered in his address on "Health Problems Af- fecting the Period of Readjustment," before an assembly of the college of liberal arts and sciences and the Uni- versity of Illinois. "Every war in history has been fol- lowed by epidemics of contagious dis- ese," said Dr. Evans. As illustra- tions of this fact he ponted out the "Black Death" which visited Europe at the close of the wars of the four- teenth century, the epidemic of tvphoid fever spread in the north by returning soldiers at the close of the civil war, the epidemic of "itch" in 1865, and the malarial diseases spread in Illinois and elsewhere at the close of the Spanish-American war of 1898. The devastating epidemic of influenza in 1918, breaking the barriers of its breeding place in western Asia, and traveling to America by way of Italy and Spain, was partly caused by the Furopean war. This Asiatic disease is known to break its bound nearly every eight years. ; "In view of these facts," continued Dr. Evans, "we are likely to conclude that we will be visited by disease as a result of the present war. Buty other considerations lead us to state that our returning soldiers will not bring back any contagious disease, known or unknown from European battle fields. Our armies have been adequately protected against disease. ach man has received instruction in personal hygiene. His health has heen carefully protected, venereal and other contagious diseases have heen so stamped out that the soldier will return freer from social disease that he was in his own home. For the first time in history the death rate from disease has Deen less than the death rate from bullets. Previous- lv disease has killed and incapacitat- ed more men than the enemy. In 1861 four men died of disease to every one that was killed in the field. In 1898 this proportion was twelve to one. Put science has found means to con- trol all of the contagious diseases ex- cept these diseases the germs of which travel through the air, and pio omising experiments are being arried out in this field. "The splendid record obtained by the military authorities in this mat- ter of disease should be a lesson to public officials and administrators. In view of what the army has ac- complished these public officers can no longer find excuses for their negligence of public health condi- tions. "The direct results of the war in the matter of contagious diseases will be, (1) no new form of disease, (2) control of venereal disease, (3) less- ened use of alcohol, (4) lessened amount of insanity, (5) better health administration, and (6) a growth of public sentiment in favor of better health conditions," said Dr. Evans in conclusion. Thrift is good management of the business of living. Xmas B. C. Xmas was celebrated many hun- dred years before Christ was born. It was in honor of Tammus, one of the Babylonian sun gods. They had three, Baal, Ashtaroth and Tammus, and built many temples in their honor. The letter "T" was changed to "X", as this was considered as sign of the holy entrance into the temple of the gods of the sun.
