GUARD HEALTH OF AMERICA Splendid System by Which DeathDealing Diseases Are Prevented from Gaining a Foothold---Re-markable Work Done in Germany and Japan.

EW YORK.—In the office of Dr. Alvah H. Doty, health officer of the port of New York, at quarantine, there is a big globe, such as is used in the public schools, that is covered

with little tacks. Every one of these tacks Indicates that at the place where it is sticking there is to-day, or was yesterday, a case of the cholera, the bubonic plague, or the yellow feverjand Dr. Doty, the officials of the r y icein Washington and the army doctors know all about every one of those cases, where it came from, how many there are that are affected, whether it is a mild case or a bad one, and exactly what the health authorities in those particular sections of the world are doing to combat it. When the visitor to Dr. Doty’s office hears the story those little tacks tell he realizes what a splendid system it is that guards the western world from the Asiatic scourges, and how impossible it almost is for any of those scourges ever to get a foothold inthiscountry. But great and thorough as is the work of American medical authorities, they are ably seconded by the work of the foreign departments, and to-day every citizen of every part of this country owes a debt that can never be paid to the splendid men of Germany and Japan whose work holds in check the spread of the cholera and the plague—one guarding the western world and the other the eastern frontier against the advance of the disease. PRAISE FOR JAPANESE. Dr. Doty said the other day that the Japanese health regulations are today second to none in the world, and that the Japanese sanitarians have forged to the front as among the very ■I" - sSt .. j Dr. Alvah H. Doty. best trained and most efficient the medical world has ever known. And the work that confronts these wonderful little men of the mikado’s empire is the greatest in scope that ever medical men were called upon to perform.

INFLUENCE OF THE MULLAHS. No One Dares Lay Sacrilegious Finger Upon Their Persons. Ever since the beginning of the now constant troubles in India a good deal has been heard about the mullahs, says Pearson's Weekly. A mullah, or, as it is more properly written, mollah, is a title given in India and throughout the east gener-; ally to a religious leader of any de-1 scription. Thus the sultan of Turkey is a ; mollah. because he is the supreme I head of the Moslem world. The hostile I Somali leader who caused us so much I anxiety between 1901 and 1905 and whose name occasionally crops up even now in the daily papers, was also a mollah And there are hundreds of others. To most of the more conspicuous .among them we prefix the adjective ‘'mad.” This, however, must not be taken to mean that they are insane, i the word being used rather in its oriental signification of "inspired.” i

for all around them the cholera and the plague are raging, and the least let up on their part would mean that the bubonic plague, or the cholera, or both, would probably become epidemicin Japan, and that would mean its possible spread to the uninfected islands of the Pacific, Australia, the Hawaiian islands, and possibly the American mainland. How do Dr. Doty, Surgeon General Wyman of the United States marine hospital service, the army and navy . doctors and the quarantine officers of the other great American seaports keep track of the world s health? And they do keep track of R, and it is this vigilance in prying into what’s the matter with our foreign neighbors that has made this country the healthiest and the best protected, from a standpoint of sanitation, on the face of this earth. Now take this big globe that is covered with tacks, and look at Port Said at the entrance of the Suez canal. There is a telltale tack stuck near that place, and that tack means that somebody or some people out there have the bubonic plague, and that every ship that stops at that port and then comes to America will have to stand the closest of inspections to show that nobody on board, or anything tn her cargo, conceals the gem that is responsible for the most horrible disease, with the exception of leprosy, the world has ever known. SENTINELS EVERYWHERE. Dr. Doty has a sentinel on duty at Port Said, and at every big port in the world, and that sentinel’s duty is to keep a close watch on the situation there and to watch every single ship that passes on her way to American waters. This sentinel is not watching for the plague and cholera only, but he must keep a record of every single case of sickness, no matter how mild or how harmless, so far as infection is concerned, and make a report in writing or by cable to Dr. Doty. This report reaches New York weeks ahead of the arrival of the vessel that is being watched, and it is then sent back to all the ports that the vessel is likely to stop at on her way to New York from Suez. At each of these ports an American health officer goes aboard and finds out how that case of sickness is being treated and the condition of the suspect. The result of this vigilance is that when the ship gets to New York her skipper learns within five minutes after he drops anchor off quarantine that Dr. Doty knows more about the health of his crew and the condition of his cargo than he does himself. He has to tell Dr. Doty everything he knows about that case of sickness, and when he gets through answering questions, Dr. Doty knows exactly where that case of sickness probably originated, and he knows how everybody on board that ship is, even down to colds and pains in the back. As everybody knows, the cholera is prevalent in Russia, and the map reproduced here, which is a reproduction of that tell-tale globe at quarantine, shows that it is rot only in St. Petersburg

**>*»4*4->**** **♦*4-* * > X- * 4-» * > The influence wielded by the mol-1 lahs who are now stirring up against us the border tribes of Afghanistan is enormous. Clad in their sacred robes, bearing aloft the green standard of Islam, they go up and down the valleys shrilling the Mohammedan war cry, and woe be to him who refuses to heed. The person of the mollah is sacred. True, the amir the other day was reported to have ordered that any of । them caught preaching the pehad ; (holy war) should have their tongues torn out. But if he really issued such ' an edict —which is extremely doubtful—it. was merely meant for European j ears. Not even the mighty Habibullah himself would care to lay a sacrilegious finger on one of these saintly personages. If he were to venture such an unheard of thing, vengeance would surely overtake him. For it is the cardinal principle of the I’lima—as the mullahs are collectively termed — that an injury purposely caused to one of their number can only be atoned for by the death of the individual inflicting it.

and Nljnl, Novgorod, but at various other places as well. ORIGINATED IN INDIA. Now, how did this cholera get into , the dominions of the czar? Dr. Doty knows. He knows that it originated in India, and for more than a year that globe in his office has told every week the story of its slow but sure ad- ’ vance on the capital of the Russian empire. The American health officers t watched the advance of the disease like hawks. They knew the Russian system of combating it was not the best, and they feared all along that it was going to reach St. Petersburg and maybe Libau, Russia’s one great Atlantic port. So far Libau has escaped, But Dr. Doty and his assistants are watching that city, and they know how everybody in that city is getting along, so far as their health is concerned. 1 The other day the Korea, one of the few transatlantic lines that fly the Russian flag, steamed into New York from Libau, with about 400 Russian immigrants on board, and what happened to that ship during the 24 hours it took to examine her passengers, crew and cargo indicates how splendidly thorough is the system that stands guard for the health of the American people, on the Staten Island side of the Narrows. Three different examinations every man and woman and child, and all the crew, from skip- . per to stoker, had to submit to. The slightest rise in temperature above the normal meant that the unfortunate was due for a medical third degree, that, when over, proved beyond all doubt whether or not he was free from the scourge. ALL ON BOARD WELL. The examination of the Korea showed that everybody on board was well, and that the water they had drunk and the food they had eaten was not infected with the cholera germs, for the water and the food and the clothing are inspected just as 1 closely as are the passengers and crew, for the admission of a single germ might mean the infection of New ork. Russian immigrants also come to New York in hordes on board the great German, the Scandinavian, the French, the British, and the other lines whose European terminals are north of the Mediterranean. For every Russian passenger these ships carrythey bring a certificate from the health authorities of the home port , that show’s that each of those passen- | gers has been watched for five days in order to make certain whether it is ; dangerous for the health of New York I and the Vnited States to allow him to | sail. If he stands the test they let ■ him go, but ’if his condition is suspicious he is sent to a hospital, and eventually returned to the land of the czar. This is where the Germans get into the game, and the way they do their work makes them deserving of the gratitude of the entire civilized world, for as everybody knows. Germany is the great gate through which the fam- j ished millions of the czar escape to . other lands where liberty is universal j and the secret police are not the most } important adjuncts of governments. ' That these people from an empire where cholera and the plague are known to exist have never as yet spread the disease in the domain of the kaiser is due. the American authorities say, to the vigilance, the skill and the magnificent training of the men who are on duty in that country. JAPAN'S HEAVY BURDEN. On the other side of the world the । Japanese are bearing the burden that ■ the Germans are shouldering on the j other side, and they are making a record every bit as creditable as that of their brethren of another race. India, the home of plague and cholera, is directly in the path of Japanese commerce with Europe, and where the

One of my friends who is a member of the peace society is greatly disturbed over the invention of Hudson Maxim’s new noiseless gun. He does not fear it half so much because of its possible use in warfare as of its value to assassins. "What chance has any of our kings or presidents if this gun is to be introduced?” he was worrying yesterday. Which just reminds me of a playful trick a bunch of rioting Pennsylvania miners once played on the troops who had been called out to quell them. The miners would hike away up the mountain. somewhere above the camp, select a good, springy sapling, and use it for a catapult to bombard the mark with stones all night long. It was simply impossible to tell where the stones came from in the darkness. The presence of numerous habitations around the mountain's

Germans have one ship and one coun- I try to watch the Japanese have a doz en ships and as many countries to keep tab on. There was a time when the cholera made headway in Japan, but that was in the days prior to the rejuvenation of the most wonderful people of the modern world. To-day there is cholera and there is also the bubonic plague in Japan, but both are held splendidly under control by the Japanese sanitarians, SOURCES OF PLAGUE. China and India are, of course, the countries where the modern sanitarians will have to fight the greatest of all battles in behalf of humanity. India has been stricken for centuries, and the outlook that she will ever be entirely free of these scourges is at the present time a very dim one. A look at the quarantine globe shows how plainly the origin of these great contagions can be traced to the Indian empire. The Indians are Mohammedans, and Dr. Doty and his colleagues in the fight for health and cleanliness say that this region to a great extent is responsible for the spread of these diseases. The pil- j grimages to Meccaj the "exalted,” the holy of holies of <he Mohammedans, are the one great cause, and the statistics prove it. The Mohemmedans, as all the world knoA»T~*ne4te these pilgrimages to "The Mother of Cities” in great. unclean hfcrdes, sleeping oil decks of dirty dyinUml that has never bee^pure, and eating food in which the germ of cholera and । the plague are sometimes known to exist. These ships ouch at ports, and the pilgrims come ii contact with people of other countries. The result la the spread of cholera and the plague, and to-day many sanitarians declare that the presence of the cholera in Russia can be directly traced to these religious hordes who go to Mecca to worship at the shrine of their faith. ALL NATIONS HELP. Let not the Australians, the New Zealanders and the doctors of Scandinavia. Great Britain. France and the Mediterranean countries be forgotten. ■ They are all in this fight for humanity, and to their vigilance and skill the German, the Japanese and the American doctors give the sincerest praise. To revert to the Americans, take the story of the plague fight In San Francisco, where Surgeon Blue of the army has done such great work and ' the extermination of the plaguo-cai rying rat«nd flea is being pushed relentlessly, so relentlessly that Gen. Funsi ton when he relinquished command of I the department of California publicly ' commended the great work that was being done to make San Francisco healthy as well as beautiful. All the world is familiar with the yellow fever fight. To-day New Orleans. Mobile, Brunswick, Porto Rico and the Isthmus are forever rid. and Cuba and Panama soon will be, of the I danger of an epidemic of the yellow malady. In this work the medical world will forever remember the ! names of Gorgas, of Moore, of Wood- । i ruff, of Lazare and a host of other ■ American medical soldiers, every one i of whom did his part in the great I j struggle that has practically eliminated this dease trom among the health dangers of the universe. And New York, Boston, Philadelphia. New Orleans and all the other great At-! lantic ports in this land are safe today, and San Francisco. Seattle and all the great ports on the Pacific soon will be, for Dr. Doty. Surgeon General Wy- ' man and the army and doctors say so. j and when they say so it is true —the i record proves it. — Dangerous City “Playgrounds." New York city streets make dangerous playgrounds, but they are the only ones that thousands of little people have. Not a day passes without injury to children by vehicles, and about nine are killed each month.

. sides made indiscriminate shooting in the dark out of the question. : It was the young engineer who lisped who set it all right. Some of the troops w’ere sitting around a campfire one night when a bowlder about the size of a paving stone came sailing through the air, just grazed the top of the tent and landed in the cen- . ter of the group. “Thit sthill, thit sthill!” shouted the engineer, who lisped. “Now we'll get them thure.” He got out some instruments, measured the height of that tent top, got a line on the exact spot the big bowlder had first hit and did a lot of figuring on the back of an envelope. "That’s where he ith,” he declared, and he pointed up the mountain in the darkness. "To-morrow 7 we’ll find him and hith catapult.” As soon as it was daylight a searching party set off up the mountain, and the engineer who lisped led them to the spot where the catapult was with I scarcely any trouble at all. Better than that, they captured the gang which had been doing the w'ork.—New York Telegraph.

BOY BATTLES FOR LIFE IN AN ICE-COLD WELL LAD PLUNGES TO BOTTOM WHILE CHASING HEN—CLIMBS OUT AFTER LONG STRUGGLE. Sayville. L. I. —Clarence, the 14-year-old son of William Pausewang of this place, while chasing a chicken for his mother fell into an old well. The chase led the lad over neighbor Joseph Hopkins’ fence and among the deeply shaded evergreen trees, where a long-abandoned well had been covered with boards and overgrown with turf. The boards, although rotten, bore the chicken, but not the boy, who broke through and plunged to the bottom of the well, which is 20 feet deep and three feet wide, bricked up. with three feet of water in the bottom. The water partially broke the boy’s fall, / Ai? y / i K A*/ M I He Plunged Headlong Through the Rotten Boards. ‘ but the scraping of his body, face and hands against the rough bricks in his rapid descent bruised him badly. He remained conscious, however, and called lustily for help, but no one heard his cries. Then he started to climb up by inserting his toes and fingers in the chinks of the bricks, only to fall back . repeatedly when he had several times ) nearly reached the surface. At last, by almost superhuman efforts, he gained the top. quite exhausted. After resting a few moments he thought of the chicken his mother sent , him for. and again he put chase to it, caught it and delivered it to his mother, who hardly recognized her son, I who was covered with mud and green mold from the well. This well is 75 years old and origi inally was on the site of an old farm and had been covered over and abandoned for 25 years. , The boy was in the dark, ice-cold I well upward of an hour battling for his life. LOST TWO DAYS IN CANYON. Bt. Louis Man and His Sister Reach Safety in State of Collapse. St. Louis.—Lost in the Sierra Madre I mountains near El Paso. Tex., for nearly two days, J. M. Brown of St. j Louis and his sister finally found shel- ! ter and aid when they were famished \ and in a state of collapse. News of their predicament was received here ' by telegraph. Mr. and Miss Brown stopped at El Paso on the way from Los Angeles to । their home here, intending to spend i Sunday in the mountains. They engaged a Mexican guide and started out early Sunday for a day of moun- । tain climbing. The guide proved to be a stranger in the mountains. Mr. and Miss Brown wandered about and soon found themselves in a deep ■ canyon, the sides so rugged that they : could not climb out. Their quest for an exit continued Sunday night and all day Monday, and after dark they attained a high point and could disj cern the lights of Juarez, Mexico, and iEI Paso. They walked toward the j lights of Juarez and near daylight I reached a herder’s hut, along the trail. Conscience Works Slowly. Portland, Ore. —An additional contribution to the conscience fund was re . corded when John Caples, a Forest । Grove merchant, received a remittance , of two dollars from a man living in a small town in Washington in payment of a grocery bill contracted 35 years ago. At that time Mr. Capies was conducting a grocery store in the town from which the money was received. He sold the man a dollar’s worth of goods, but never received the money, and when he came to Oregon several years ago charged the account against that of profit and loss. in his conscience-stricken state the deliquent creditor remitted double the amount of the original debt, explaining that he desired to make amends for the delay. Meerschaum as Soap. “Meerschaum, before its hardening makes good soap. I have often washed my hands with it.” The speaker, a missionary of unimpeachable veracity, frowned at the incredulous smiles of his guests, and then went on: "It was in Morocco. There, on the । coast, down toward the Atlas moun- j tains, meerschaum is plentiful, far > more plentiful than soap. It wouldn’t ■ pay to ship it to the Dutch meer- , schaum carvers—hence it is either I used as soap or let alone. "In the crude state, you know, it is | as soft as butter. It rubs up into a | first-rate lather. It removes the dirt ; fairly well.” In “Bohemia.” “Some strange and unaccountable things are done in the name of Bohemia.” said the Bohemian. “The other night at a club the engagement was announced of an artist and a writer, who is a widow. At the same time the writer was exploited at the club. The book was lovingly dedicated to her dearly beloved, much-mourned and never-to-be-forgotten departed and illustrated by the artist husband that is to be.”

LOVE’S YOUNG DREAM COOLEO. Time of Sentiment Evidently Long Paat with Husband. A certain well-known Bostonian has i been married long enough to have acquired the average man’s cynical attitude in respect of the written expressions of devotion indulged in before ! marriage. One day the Hubbite was going over with his wife a mass of useless papers that had accumulated in the household. They unearthed several large boxes full of love letters. After a hasty glance at them, the husband said: "No use keeping this junk, I suppose? Here it goes.” The wife was hurt. “Oh, Clarence,” exclaimed she, “how can you be so brutal? Surely you don't want to destroy your own love letters to me?” “Well, keep ’em, if you want ’em,” cheerfully assented the husband, “but honestly, Helen, these seem too soft to file!”—Lippincott’s.

I doctored him, but as soon as I got them healed up in one place they would break out in another. T was almost in despair. I could not get anything that would help him. Then I began to use Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment, and after using them three times, the sores commenced to heal. He is now well, and not a scar is left on his body. They have never returned nor left him with bad blood, as one would think. Cuticura Remedies are the best I have ever tried, and I shall highly recommend them to ; any one who is suffering likewise.
