 "Cootie" Annihilators for General Pershing's Army

���A train of modern sterilizing and fumigating wagons on its way to Uncle Sam's boys on the battle front in France. This up-to-date apparatus was designed by Dr. Leon L. Watters, of New York, and Colonel F. H. Hartsock of the United States Medical Corps

��This apparatus will wage a war of extermination on the soldier's enemy, the "cootie." It consists of a high-pressure steam boiler in which the clothing of forty men can be disinfected in as many minutes. The "cooties," or trench lice, are typhus-carriers, and must be destroyed. Even aside from this they are uncongenial companions
