AMERICA'S HEALTH ninnirn nir nroT

Dimmcn mc dcoi No Country in 'the World Guards Its People from Disease So Well. (Special, CaM from tha International News Service.) , BY 8IDNEY ESPEY WASHINGTON, Aug 19. Nowhere " in the world are the citizens of a country so well protected from the dissemination of a plague as in the United States. Especially is this true in protecting them from diseases brought to this country by infected (persons from abroad. The protection Is afforded by representatives of the United StateB government, a special ess-vice of employes being hired for 'Ib purpose. They are part of the United States public health and hospital marine service, and extend to ev?ery seaport and coastwise port of any consequence in the country. They , are also stationed in districts where -contagious disease of any character becomes epidemic, the matter being handled under their supervision, notwithstanding the fact that the United States also maintain their respective bureaus of health. The United States government now Is malntalng the strictest and the first really scientific quarantine against ' cholera that has ever been maintained fen the world. The man in the street does, not know how big a force of the Iet medical experts in the world is f working eight and day at home and abroad to prevent the spread of eholera. When the cholera became a menace in Italy over a year ago there was a good deal' known about cholera here. It was no longer a mysterious pestlfence that "wasted at noonday," and according to the old chronicles was tfodled in the person of the Wander ing Jew,and traveled at a fixed rate of three miles a day. , What Science Found. Modern science has found a little comma-shaped germ and knows that cholera has to be introduced into the human system by way of. the mouth i and that a nurse taking modern sanlI tary percatutions could live in a cholera haspltal with safety. , But it was only in the last year that ' the presence of the carrier was defin- ! itely determined, and an explanation I offered for the seeming mysterious i cases that creep through the best reg- . ulated quarantines. This is the end ' of the problem that the United States I has now taken hold of, and it explains I why this country is free of the disI ease, while it is slowly spreading in I Europe. When the alarm of cholera carried I by arriving immigrants was sounded ! In this country, the public health t and marine hospital service was put ! on the Job. General Walter Wyman, ' chief of the service, sent Dr. Geddings f to Genoa, the two largest ports of em- : barkatlon for'; imraicrants. and had I him see that the Italian authorities enforced the quarantine . regulations as ' they were then understood. As cholera spread from Russia and Germany, and was noted at other ports of departure several of the younger sur- . geons of the public health and marine hospital service were sent abroad to assist Dr. Geddings. ' But the precautions taken abroad were only the coarse mesh of the 'screen that was built around the United States. At first the Italian authorities did not like to admit that , they i had cholera In Naples and Genoa at all, and they declared that If there were cases there they were not serious. Afterwards they found that denials were not as satisfactory as sanitation, and they co-operated heartily with the American authorities in enforcing the quarantine law. Spread Into Germany New York is the largest port for the arrival of immigrants in the United States, and there the local health authorities co-operatea with the United States authorities. But the immigrants fleeing from the cholera in Europe sought other ports of departure than the usual Italian exits and the the cholera spread . through Southern Russia and along the Baltic. It appeared in parts of 'Germany and now mm Oil FACE : CUED GREAT DOT forThree Long Years. Suffered Great ' Deal. Cuticura Soap and Ointment .' Brought Marvelous Results.

The Original

i.fc is: At the Gennett while the French authorities are loth to admit it there are a number of cases at Marseilles. The Immigrants sought other ports of entry to the United States than New York. Boston and Philadelphia were naturally first, but it was only last week that an Italian steamer came into Providence, Rhode Island, bringing a large number of immigrants. As the disease progressed abroad, there were more stringent regulations enforced. The quarantine period was extended from five to ten days. Then came the revealation of the cholera carrier, a thing not previously well understood. It was found persons who had the . disease always carried the germs of cholera with them, and distributed them f after having been fully, cured so far as outward symptoms were concerned. The same was true in some cases of persons who had merely come in contact with the diease, and had never had It themselves. These "carriers" persist for a period of twenty days, though some of them have been known to "persist" for as long as ninety days.' . They are just as dangerous to turn loose as active-cholera cases. How bad the disease is abroad is shown by the latest cable reports to General Walter Wyman. These state that from July 22 to July 25, there were 68 cases of cholera and twenty deaths in Naples. These were in the city. In Naples province there were 148 cases and 74 deaths. Throughout the remainder of Italy there were 130 deaths. In Palermo there were 100 bases, 52 of which were fatal. , In Sicily there were 150 cases and 42 deaths. - Of course there 'may be some other means of cholera conveyance not now understood, by which the disease may gain entrance here. But the precautions are effective so far as the medical world understands the disease, and so far have proved entirely satisfactory to the men who have had the work in charge. A i Local Theaters "Black Patti" Coming. One of the season's offerings and one that will surely win for itself a prominent place in the foremost ranks of colored musical comedies of today is the Black Patti Musical Comedy Company, presenting a musical hit, "In the Jungles," which will be seen at the . Gennett next Thursday evening, August 24th. Those acquainted with colored shows will at once understand that a good time is in contemplation and the eminence of Mme. Sissitretta Jones, the original Black Patti and the greatest singer of the colored race, and "Happy" Julius Glenn, the Wangdoodle comedian, the funniest of the funny, who have been entrusted with the leading parts of the captivating comedy allows no room for doubt as to the Success' that will attend their efforts, when combined with the unusually funny scenes, and situations, bright dialogue, catchy music, singing and dancing- which will predominate with "In the Jungles. The Meat Baautiful City. To ask for the name of the "most beautiful city lu the world" is to ask a very large and difficult question. There are a great many very beautiful cities in the world, each of which would get its votes were the contest to arise. Lovely places are to be found by the score in every country of the east, but If put to the vote of travelers It is probable, that Palermo. Sicily, .would win out.' It may be that the is a more beautiful city In the world than the Sicilian town, but it would be exceedingly difficult to name it. New York American, -

v ' S August 24th. A PATHETIC PARTING. Last Meeting of William Winter and Richard Mansfield. The last days of Mansfield were inexpressibly afflicting and' sorrowful. His condition underwent very many changes, his suffering at times was great, but slowly be gained a little strength. He bad for some time been determined on a Journey to England. His passage was engaged for May 4, but he was not able to sail. 1 saw him on the morning of May 11, 1907. "I told them I would see you. Willy," he said, "even if I were dying." We sat together for some time. He did not speak much, nor could I speak much to him. It seemed best that we should both pretend, to believe that be would soon be well, but 1 knew that I sbonld never see him again. When he did speak it was little more than a murmured word or two. His mind was busy with the past. Several times he mentioned Jefferson and bis paintings. "Studies in green they are," be said. Once be spoke aloud to himself. "I hare not lived a bad life." PresentlyI rose to go and clasped bis hand and said goodby. At the door 1 turned to look at him once more. He was sitting huddled in his chair. His figure was much emaciated; his clothes hung loosely about him; his face was pale and very wretched in expression, and I saw in his eyes as he looked at me that be knew our parting was forever. I went back aud kissed his forehead and pressed bis hand and so came away. We never met again. Since then I have stood beside bis grave Life seems to be chiefly made up of farewells tike that and memories like these. "Life and Art of Richard Mansfield." by William Winter. BLOTTJNG PAPER, Its Discovery Was the Result of ; a Workman's Carolossness. Blotting paper was discovered purely by accident. Some ordinary paper was being made one day at a mill in Berkshire when a careless workman forgot to put in the siziog material. It may be imagined what angry scenes would take place In that mill, as the whole of the paper made was regarded as being quite useless. The proprietor of the mill desired to write a note shortly afterward, and he took a piece of waste paper, thinking it was good enough for the purpose. To bis intense annoyance the Ink spread all over the paper. All of a sudden there flashed over his mind the thought that this paper would do instead of sand for drying ink. and be at once advertised his waste paper as "blotting." The reason the paper is of use in drying ink is that really it is a mass of hairlike tubes which suck up liquid by capillary attraction. If a very fine glass tube Is put into water the liquid will rise in it owing to capillary attraction. The art of manufacturing blotting paper has been carried to such a degree that the product has wonderful absorbent qualities. The original blotting paper was of a pink color, due to the fact that red rags were used, rags which could not be used for making the ordinary paper, as the color could not be removed. Here was a method for using the apparently useless matter, and so for a long time pink was the predominant color. London M. A. P.

Tha Arch. The consensus of opinion among the learned is to the effect that the arch was Invented by the Romans. Some claim that Archimedes of Sicily was the inventor, while there are others) who would make it to be of Etrurian : origin, but there can be no doubt about the fact that the Romans were the first to apply the principle to architecture. The earliest instance of its use is in the case of the Cloaca Maxima, or Great sewer, of Rome, built about CSS B. C. by the first of the Tarquin line of kings, a work which is regarded by the historians as being one of the most stupendous monuments of antiquity. Built entirely without cement, it is still doing duty after a service of almost twenty-five centuries. New York American. The Word "Slava." An interesting instance In history of the twisted application of the names of a people is afforded by the case of the word "slave. Now. the Slavi. tribes dwelling on the banks of the Dneiper. derived their appellation from "Slav," meaning noble or illustrious. In the days of the later Roman empire vast numbers of these Slavs were taken over by the Romans In the condition of captive servants, and in this way the name of the tribes came in time to carry with it the idea of a low state of servitude the exact antithesis of its original meaning and one that has survived to this time.

shots cost 160,000. F. L. Pitman, chief engineer of the 'division, said on returning to Spokane that the work was successful in every way, though the last shot was more in the nature of an explosion, as it hurled .the rock with greater velocity and left the roadbed in a broken condition. However, the rock was well broken and is easy to handle. Meanwhile, freight and pacsenger trains will be routed over other lines. One hundred men are now at work on the roadbed. "The full strength of the powder was obtained," Pitman said, "and the amount of rock broken down may be judged when it is known that 10 days will be required to clear the roadbed for trains." George Chew, of Spokane, who had charge of the blasting work, started operation on May 1 with a crew of men and completed the loading the afternoon of August 11. He used 16,000 kegs of powder in the "coyote holes," aggregating more than 6,000 feet of drilling in rock. The power plant used to fire the shots was in stalled behind the .cliff. The two units were fired in 39 minutes. "The spectacle was witnessed by 200 sightseers, including two women, Mrs. H. R. Rudd and Mrs. N. H. Bogue who drove 35 miles across the country. Hundreds of fish in the Snake river were killed and stunned by the two violent blasts and much of the broken rock was hurled across the stream. No one was injured. Acquiring a Reputation.

The explanation is that the Duke of Cumberland, wbe fought the battle of CoJIoden and who was anspeakatly profaae. once went In quest of the primate to get bis assistance about a certain bill which he disliked. He returned to the house of lords, saying: "It's all right, my lords. I've seen the archbishop, and he says he'll see the promoters to before he'll Tote for the bill!"

Hospital nurses when assisting at a delicate operation have their own way of suppressing a cough or a sneeze. The operator's attention must not be distracted for a moment. Coughs and sneezes, too, spread germs on surfaces carefully rendered antiseptic. So ev ery nurse soon learns to press her finger hard on the upper Hp immediately below the nose when she feels a cough or a sneeze coining on. A pressure lu the neighborhood of the ear, too, or a hard pressure on the roof of the mouth will nip a cough In the bud. And the will has great power to control a cough or a sneeze. There was a French surgeon who used to say whenever be entered the wards of the hospital. "The first patient who coughs gets no food today." This method was usually successful. Chicago News. What Came Up. A young man wishing to have a bit of fun at a farmer's expense passed a few remarks about his cattle and his garden and then said be had set some lettuce and cabbage which had not grown up. Then the farmer said: . "Ob. that's nothing! I set some carrot seeds, and what do you think came upr . "Don't know." replied the young man. Farmer Why, old Brown's donkey, and ate the lot.
