MONTGOMERY BOY
IS IN CANADIAN
AVIATION SERVICE
Sister Writes That He Has
Made Four Flights at
Training Camp
Duv-il Goldthwalte, a Montgomery
boy who was at Harvard laat Spring,
volunteered with the balance of the
senior class to go in the aviation ser
vice, and is now in Canada at a train
ing camp. V
His mother and sister are with him,
and a letter has been received from
the sister that her brother has made
four flights, the first three with . a
companion, but Ih the last flight she
says her brother made It alone. After
landing, the sister says he remarked
that he felt a little uncomfortable as
he first left the ground, but said he
felt fine while up in the air and<thor
oughly enjoyed it.
CemeafOf Fighting Stock
Young Goldthwalte comes from a
fighting stock. His father, Robert
Goldthwalte, was a captain in For
rest’s cavalry, and was wounded in
the battle of Franklin, Tenn. After
the war he was president of the Mer
chants and Planters Bank. The grand
father of young Goldthwaite was the
first democratic senator after the re
construction period, serving in the
United States senate. He was succeed
ed by John T. Morgan.
Uncle Was Noted Soldier
An uncle of the aviator was Rich
ard Goldthwaite, captain of a Mont
gomery battery In the civil war known
as Semple's battery.
He won renown as an artilleryman,
and was known as the "Pelham" of the
western Confederate Army. He was
frequently honorably mentioned by his
superiors for conspicuous gallantry.
These mentions were copied in the
Confederate archives and turned over
to the United States after the surrend
er. Duval was an athlete at college
and captain of the football team. He
visited Montgomery less than three
weeks ago, spending a wepk with his
relatives here. His mother, Mrs. Robert
Goldthwaite; the sister, Miss Elite
Goldthwalte, and his brothers, Dr.
Robert Goldthwalte and Dr. Richard
Goldthwaite. all reside In Montgomery.

Among the hundreds of thousands 6t

come forward and given their grate
ful testimony as to the benefits they
have received from using Tanlac, none
Is more enthusiastic In praising the
medicine, than Mrs. Mary C. Burke,
who resides at (10 South 12th street,
Nashville*. Tenn. Mrs. Burke's state
ment follima:
"t think Tunlac la the greatest medi
cine ever put before the 'people,, and I
wouldn't take anything, on earth tor
the good It has done me. I know • !
tried every medicine I ever heard rec
ommended during the last four years
trying to get relief from stomach trou
ble but nothing did me any good. 1
couldn’t eat anything without suffer
ing afterward and I fell oft and lost
so much strength that I nad given up
completely. -One of my friends sug
gested that I try Tanlac and though
I had almost, lost faith in medicine, I
gave It a trial. ,
"There are no words I could use that
would tell just how grateful I am for
what Tanlac has dOQe for me. I show
what I think of Tanlac by telling ev
erybody I can see about the relief it
has given me. I ctn now eat as hear*
tily as anybody and every bite I take
builds me up. I have gained consid
erably In weight, and can sleep like
a log at night. It seems like I am
really a different person from what
1 was before I found out about Tan

me to tell others who suffer how to

Assistant Burgeon H. F. White, o!
the. United States public health serV'
ice, in his recent report' to the presi'
dent of the Chamber of Commerce o:
Montgomery through the committee oi
sanitation, Dr. Forney C. Stevenson
chairman.. The sense of the report ii
as follows:.
After due Consideration of all thi
sanitary problems that would neces
sarily hate to be correoted in order t<
Srevent the spread of communicabli
Meases that probably would exist un
der the unusual conditions incldenta
to the doubling of the, population o:
the city and the immediate terrltor;
of Camp Sheridan, the committee oi
sanitation asked the surgeon genera
of the United States public healtl
service to send trained men fiere ti
co-operate with the health organlza
tions of the city and county.-ln com
pliance with the request, Dr. Whlti
was detailed to make necessary ar
langements for the sanitation of the
flve-mile sone. Including the city.
House te House Inspection.
As to general sanitation, the surve]
includes a house-to-house inspectiot
of each and every premise in the zone
Certain data relative to insanitarj
conditions that may exist Is collectet
and the property owner is subsequent,
ly notified to correct the same an<
eliminate the source of the communi
cable disease, including typhoid fever
malaria, and the exanthens. Over 5,
000 Inspections have already beet
made.
* o nrpon uiif«nri.
An effort is being made to secure thi
prompt and complete reporting of al
communicable diseases in the zone. It
order that the actual location may b<
known and the active foci of the dis
ease controlled as they occur. The phy
aidians of the zone are co-operating
fully. For example, a mother and hei
child were sent to the city health offlci
for an examination and treatment,
The child had a well marked case 01
dlpththerla and was treated with thi
antitoxin free of charge, then Iso
lated In a hospital here In the city.
The home was then Investigated, when
another case of dlpththerla was found
also six contacts, all of them danger
ous. The sick one was treated ant
the remainder Immunized with the an
titoxin. The father of the child wai
traced, and was found to be working
within the camp. The proner author
ities were notified. %
In connection with the remarks. Dr
White says: "As simple as this meas
ure may sound, I assure you that th<
Institution of such precautions marki
the dividing line between sanltatloi
and epidemics."
Sewer Connections Important.
In Montgomery .Wherever the sewei
Is available, the property owner hai
been notified to ccnnect with It. Thi
number of connections each day Is In
creasing, and the sanitary departmem
of Montgomery, acting upon the advlci
of the medical officer .In charge, ex
pects to push the matter to an earl)
and successful completion. At thosi
places In the unsewered ares of thi
city, there will be Instituted the mosi
modern type sanitary privy, the cost ol
which will h.s-:vsry low.
Itnral District Werk.
The wolrk In rural sanitation hai
been under Assistant Burgeon H. B.
Mustard. The Institution of sanltar)
Improvements In the rural sections li
progressing rapidly. Beginning In th<
Chisholm community, a concrete fly
proof privy vault Is being pat In at
every home. This means an Impreg
nable defense against- the intestinal
diseases. The expense of the work Is
borne as follows: The- United States
public health service furnishes expert
In charge: the county furnishes funds
for the actual labor: the property own
er, the material necessary for the con
struction. Upon the completion of the
sanitation of the extra-cantonment
zone, the United States public health
service Is prepared to and will meet
one-half of the expenses necessary to
institute measures similar to the above
In every home In Montgomery county.
Muniiac ru r«pif
An educational campaign la being*
carried on. This consists of a visit and
Inspection of every borne. At each
place general and specific sanitary
matters are discussed. Such improve
ments as may be essential for the
community as a whole are explained
and advice Is given to meet any con
dition which may be peculiar to.the
premises under consideration. For In
stance, one home, In addition to need
ing a sanitary privy, may have a poor
ly protected well; another, collections
of manure serving as a breeding
place for flies; or Incomplete or no
screening. Directions are given for
Improvement In each case. Where
sickness is found, such as tuberculosis
measles, or any communicable disease,
steps are being taken to prevent the
spread to other members of the fam
ily or neighboring families. From time
to time public lectures with stereoptl
can illustrations are given. Bulletins
upon health matters, written In non
technical style, are being left In every
home and will be placed in every
school In the county for reference and
distribution. The fdllowing are some
of the titles; "The Safe Disposal of
Human Excreta to Non-sewered
Homes;" "The Causation and Preven
tion of Typhoid Fever;” "The Causa
tion and Prevention of Malaria;” "The
Causation and Prevention of Tuber
culosis:” "The Causation and Preven
tion of Pellagra;" "The Causation and
Prevention of Hookworm;” •“The Care
of the Baby." And such others as may
be folnd necessary.
Sanitation Prevents Disease
Judging from experience in over
twenty states it Is said positively and
without reservation that freedom from
the intestinal diseases Is In. direct pro
portion to proper sanitation; and that
lessening of all diseases Is dependent
greatly upon education In these lines.
The communities sre receiving per
manent measures for the conservation
of health and lessening of disease. It
is not an experimental work, but one
based on years of painstaking jsffort
mathematically certain of, accomplish
ing the desired results.
Fighting The Moaqalta
As to anti-malarial work under san
itary Engineer J. K. Haskins, an ex
tensive campaign has been carried on
for the elimination of mosquitoes with
consequent eradication of mala'rla In
an area one mile wide surrounding the
entire camp, site, as well as a similar
area surrounding the city of Mont
gomery. In this work two distinct
methods are employed. The most ef
fective and permanent method of pro
cedure Is to drain all standing water
by ditching and thus eliminate fur
ther expense The second, or temporary
method, is to cover all standing water
with a thin film of oil and In this way
prevent mosquito breeding. Such oil
ing is only temporary and must be re
peated each time the film Is broksn
for any reason, such as by rain evap
oration. and In other ways.
Eradicating. Malaria
Work on both methods of malaria
control has been actively prosecuted
In the extra-cantonment zone daring
ibe present season. Due to the large

labor, oiling has bean largely resorted
to up until the present time. All water
surfaces withLn the one-mile area have
been completely sprayed with oil on
two successive occasions. The water
area covered Is difficult to estimate
accurately but probably exceeds two
square miles, since large swamp lands
exist In all sections of the extra-can
tonment zone. For this work approxi
mately $.500 galons of oil have been
used.
The effect of (his oiling has been
quite remarkable, as will be attested
by those living In this area. On the
first oiling these low places were
practically Inaccessible to the labor
ers emplayed, due to the swarms of
mosquitoes Infesting these places. The
second oiling showed the places practi
cally free and now no discomfort Is
experienced by anyone traversing this
swampy area In any direction. While
It Is not claimed that the mosquitoes
have been completely eradicated, a
remarkable reduction In numbers Is
claimed. The claim Is borne out by the
testimony of the army sanitary offi
cers of the camp, who are well satis
fied with the work which the com
mittee authorized.
Low Areas Drained
In addition to the general oiling
campaign attention has been given to
the drainage of certain low areas
capable of such treatment at* compar
atively little expense. Cypress Pond In
North Montgomery has been so drain
ed and at present is completly dry as
far north as the rifle rangs. This
work has been of a permanent nature
and will be of great benefit to this
section of the city. A limited amount
of drainage has been done on Lomax
Creek In the vicinity of the base
hospital but lack of funds has limit
ed the amount of work done there.
In addition to the work authorized
by the committee the city has provid
ed labor and materials for carrying
on the campaign In the city and ef
fective progress has been made h«te
also. Cooperation of property owners
on whose premises stagnant water
pools are lqpated has been solicited
and obtained and numerous places of
such nature have been drained and
others are being taken care of. It
is desired to express appreciation of
the put lie health department for the
willingness of all to cooperate for the

I wish to say to the business man. to
the public spirited citizen of Mont
gomery; 1 am sure,' gentlemen, that
yow realise that the establishment of
a permanent camp in this locality will
be a factor In which the future of
the city Is vitally concerned. In sup
port of a petition for this you will be
able to cite many desirable features
as to climate, locality, etc. However
the eradication of diseases peculiar to
the South such as malaria and hook
worm, will give the greatest possible
weight to your argument. Without
the endorsement of sanitarians, the
war department will be skeptical of
the most alluring camp site. The way
to make Camp Sheridan, permanent lies
