DR.. Stephen Smith, one of the Ameri
can delegates to the international sanitary
conference held at Paris, says that one of
the Important results of the conference
was p proposition to attack the cholera
plagF e at the root, which had been traced
beyond peradventure to India. The con-
tagipn is carried from that country by the
hoples of Mussulman pilgrims who swarm
to Mecca and other shrines, where they
communicate the disease to pilgrims from
western Asia and eastern Europe. Sixty
per cent of the pilgrims perish from chol-
era or other causes while on their pilgrim
age. 1t is recommended that the most
Stringent measures be taken to prevent the
Spread of infection by these pilgrims. The
Radical and effective method would be, ii
is evident, to go to the source of the infec
/tion and secure there such means of clean
illness and decent living as would STAMP
4 the plague out of existence.

The never-ending strife between guns
and armor plates was renewed at the Wash
ington proving ground last Saturday, when
the largest gun ever turned out i'll the
United States broke the heaviest armOr
plate ever rolled out at an American steel
mill The gun won a temporary triumph
at least. An S50-pound proiectile, driven
by 12-inch gun, pierced to the depth of
several inches a 16-inch plate of nickel
steel made by the Harvey process. A sec
Ond shot shattered the plate. The pro-
jectile did not go through it, but was
broken in pieces. The incident is sgnif-
cant because the plate was made for the
new battleship Indiana, which, it was con-
fidently expected, would be the greatest
fighting monster of the briny deep, and
also because this is the first failure of the
nickel-steel Harveyized armor. This par
ticuar plate was chosen by the govern
ment inspectors because injury to it in the
process of cooling was suspected, The
contractors have the right of submitting q
second plate. Failure then will mark the
entire lot for rejection, meaning loss tc
the Bethlehem company of about $500, 900
If the second plate stands the test the lo
will be accepted.

WHAT is MGl-NUTRITION?

Nal nutrition means that the food you eat does
not nourish you. The plain English of it is star
walton.
Everybody who is thin suffers from malnutri
uoh Everybody who is getting thinner than he
ought TO be suffers from mal-nutrition.
DOCTORS have given it many learned names
An3mla' dyspepsia, phthiss, diabetes. 1t is al
NAL nutrition
To learn how to cure a disease we must first
ma out the cause of it. The cause of your food
not nOurishng you? What can il he that Won do
not digest 1t? And how can we possibly help YOU
II you cannot digest your food? By giving you
rood that is already digested.
Cod liver oil and other fatty food is often given
10 people who suffer from malnutrition. But it
never does them any permanent good. The rea-
son is plain. Fats and oils are the most indigest
hle OF all foods They cannot be pre-digested
You cannot help tired horse by giving him
more work to do. Nor a tired stomach either.
II your stomach cannot nOuriSh your body with
ordinary food, you must take food that will nour-
lsh it in spite Of your stomach Paskola is such
food.
II Paskola were a fatty food it would be no
better than cod liver OIL Paskoa is a starch
iood 1t is possible to pre-digest starch food
Paskola is pre-digested. paskola contains natur-
al terments that help to digest other food
Ot the three great classes of foods starChes
abumens, fats, only one has any effect in the dis
eases of mal-nutrition: The starches. If we
want to get fat we must have starch food, If we
surfer from mal-nutrition we must have Paskola
Paskola is not medicine. and does not contain
any drugs 1t is pleasant natural food, pre-
pared from richest grains and certain kinds of
fruit. 1t has been prescribed by many eminent
physicions, and is rapidly taking the place of
drugs in al cases of malnutrition.

of 500 whenever a change of captains took
place. One witness said the police went
to him for a special contribution every

PROSPECTS FOR COTTON.
The Weather Conditions During Last
Month Favorable.

Washington, Nov. 1O.-The cotton re-
turns of the department of agriculture
for the month of November show i'm
provement Of prospects as compared with
the returns of last month This is due
to better weather, and is especially notice.
able in the states of Alabama, Mississippi
Louisiana and Texas. The favorable
weather, besides improving crops, has
greatly facilitated the picking. In Ala
bama the crop has been nearly all Sc
cured and much OF it sold.
In Mississippi many counties report
picking as closed and considerable i'm
provement in the crop over the indications
of October average.
The estimate for the state of Louisiana
is reported az raised because of favorable
weather for picking during October.
The crop in Texas maintains the high
average formerly indicated The weather
has been quite favorable for picking, and
nearly three-fourths of the crop has been
gathered.
Greater dispatch has been noted in har-
vesting the crop than in any former year
and it has also been marketed in large
quantities. The injuries to the crop in
some parts of the state from excessive
moisture causing rust and rotting of tho
bolls, have been more than counterbal-
snced by the favorable conditions that ex-
listed in ether parts for maturing the
tSp srSP ana for picking. no great dam
age from frost is reported.
In Arkansas the weather has also been
favorable for gathering. The increased
| product Of that state as compared wi n
/ last year is due to the fact that much
land that was overlooked in 1893 was plant
| ed to cotton this year.
| The indications for the average yield
/ per acre for the entire cotton belt is 19l 8
1 pounds, distributed by states as follows:
/ North Carolina, 20; South Carolina, 16s,
! Georgia, 155; Florida, 10; Alabama, 100;
/ Mississippi, 1876; Louisiana, 230; Texas, 235;
/ Arkansas, 2o3; Tennessee, 49, all the
/ other states and territories, 2o0.

CONVICT LABOR.
A Suggestion That All Goods Made by
1t Shall Be so Marked.

Savannah Nov. TO- Editor Morning
News: In reading your newsy pa
per Of this date my attention was
attracted to your comment on Rep
resentstive Hollands proposition to label
coRvist-made goods. This subject is one
that concerns our laboring classes and
tax payers. and It seems to me unjust that
our free southern mechanics should be
obliged TO compete with convict-made
goods from the north and west, and in
order to protect our capitalists and labor
from such unequal competition l suggest
the passage of law for this state that all
goods made by convict labor shall be
stamped "Convict-made," and all goods
so made and not stamped, made in this
or any other state, shall be conhscated and
sold at public auction. The proceeds to
be appropriated to such purposes as the
legislature may enact If We desire 70
hold up our manufacturing interests In
order to consume our cotton, iron. wool
wood, ETC.. and promote our native in
dustrles, it Is positively necessary 20 pro-
tcct the manufacturer from the baueful
effects Of convict labor of the section re-
