THE YELLOW FEVER.
How It's Poison Creep. over q city.


We quote the following stat ment
York, who is an excellent authority:
The death Nte in yellow fever is from
twenty-five to thirty five per cent 1t
was twenty-five per cent. in Shreveport
and thirty per cent. in Memphis. In the
New Orleans epidemic it has usually
been about twenty-five per cent. Balti-
more is much more secure against a yel-
low fever epidemic than New York is,
for there the greater part Of the popula.
ton live on high ground, and the dis
ease will not travel up the steep hills OF
Baltimore. 1t will be more likely To
travel along the coast, and should the
coming winter be mild one in the south,
we may look for yellow fever in the
spring.
The true nature OF the poison has not
yet been ascertained, and cannot be un.
til more scientific progress is made. The
time will come when we shall doubtless
be able to meet the enemy, and fully
understand how il effects its work. The
disease does not travel through the air,
as many used to think. 1t is thing that
crecPs on the ground. 1t travels on a
level or down a decline much faster
than it ascends. This has been fully
demonstrated by the examination Of the
progress of epidemics, particularly the
one which passed through this city in
1929. 1t began at the foot Of Rector
street, on the North river, where the
poison had been deposited from a sailors
luggage. 1t travelled slewly up Rector
street, which is pretty steep. Coming
to Broadway, it branched out in both
directions, and then went rapidly down
the streets leading toward New and Broad
streets.
At the same time it was spreading up
and down, and at one time the fence that
was put up to check its progress inclosed
the city hall and the park. All the
merchants and bankers moved up to
Greenwich village, which is now in the
neighborhood Of Ninth avenue and
Twenty-third street. Some positively de-
clined to go outside of the enclosure, and
many of the obstinate ones lost theiI
lives as the result of their folly. The
poison was propagated on about an average
of about fifty feet each day, and over
spread nearly the whole city. As ! said
before, the poison goes up hill with ap-
parent difficulty, and, in its march
through the city, it never went over the
houses, but always round them. Persons
living in the upper stories of tall houses
would, therefore, not be likely to be af-
fected if they remained in their domi-
Giles all the time.
Absolute cleanliness is the best pro-
lection. Bathing all over once or twice
every day, and putting on clean cloth
ing every time; securing, sweeping,
scrubbing, ETC., everything that could
keep the body and its surroundings clean,
would be the course to pursue. People
should keep their spirits up and the
pores of the skin open. Care should be
taken to keep the dwelling and out
houses dry by the use of lime, and no
one should venture out in the night air
when yellow is around.

advantage of the great difference in the

able, we may expect to see large increase
in the tonnage from New Orleans, and, as

POOL BETTING.
Radical Reform Demanded BY Paiross
OF the Turf.


OF the Turf
One of the most serious evils Of the
turf is thus discussed, editorially, by the
Turf, Field and Farm.
That the trotting associations receive
anything but small revenue from the
tax on pool sales are not to be questioned
for moment. At some of the tracks
the tax after dividing with the POOLS
Ter, frequently amounts to five and six
thousand dollars. The commission
which the pool buyers pay in the march
from Cleveland to Springfield amountst to
a small fortune. Capital would soon be
eaten up by the percentage charged on
the in and out speculation on heat races,
did not the winnings largely outnum-
Der the losses. The tax would ruin any
man whose aggregate winnings only
equaled his aggregate losses. Almost
every spetulator knows this, and there
fore he is not particular as to the means
by which he wins. The odds are so
great against him that he is tempted
into schemes which will not bear the
light of day. All the knavery practiced
in the trotting turf is hatched in the
interest of the pool box.
There are thousands Of people whoare
fond of racing, but who will not coun-
tenance sport used to foster gambling
spirit. We might az well look thetruth
in the face first as last. When professional
drivers lament the evils of the day, il is
time for park managers to be up and on
guard. The question for them to take
into serious confederation is whether they
can best afford 10 do without the five
per cent. tax on pools, or the one dollar
at the gate.
Those who believe in moderate instead
of extreme measures have suggested q
plan which possibly might work we'll.
They propose to retain the pool stand but
to allow no pools to be sold on race
after the race has been called. They ar
que that this would break up the csmbi.
nations, as the speculator would have no
chance to hedge after placing his money.
If the judges believed that horse was
not trying TO win they could take him
out of the hands of his driver and put
some one up behind him in whom they
had confidence. When made 10 realize
the fact that honest judges would see to
it that horses were honestly driven, the
spectators would back their candid judg-
ment Of the capacities of the contending
horses, instead of lending his support to
job. He would be without protection
should he attempt to pursue any other
course. To give force TO this plan the
telegraph would have to be looked after.
II would be necessary to instruct the
operator on the park grounds to refuse
every dispatch offered him giving the
betting odds. Unless this were done the
horses would be manipulated in the in.
terests of jobs put upin the pool rooms
distant from the scene of action.
