How They Can BE, DispeIIed by
Timely Action.
Dry jim-jams or business horrors can
be dispelled by timely application of the
principal of life insurance. Only those who
have il realize the luxury of a we'll ar
ranged line of life insurance. 1t requires
more self-denial to do your duty without
insurance than with it. Life is a chance,
life insurance is a dead certainty. Keep

EGGS AT Low EBB.
A Drop of Forty Cents n Dozen in
Two Weeks.

Two Weeks.
The egg market continues irregular and
unsettled. The wholesale dealers yester-
day were selling at IL to u cents, while
several retailers, who had become over
stocked, were Offering eggs at 10 cents a
dozen
There has been a perpendicular drop in
the price during the last two weeks
While the price was 50 cents a dozen two
weeks ago, all on account of the strong
demand in the Northern markets at the
time the price quickly dropped when the
weather turned warmer and the hens re-
sumed their duty. Great quantities of
country and Western eggs have been
shipped to Savannah recently, because the
price declined in the North, and conse-
queutly the market for the last several
days has been glutted. 1t is the opinion
of many dealers that there will be a re-
action very soon and the market will
again become nominal

IN INFECTED DISTRICTS.
| In the infected districts in which
ideathS had occurred the inspectors
brought drays loaded with chemicals
for disinfecting, lime ana wnitewash
for covering up exposed woodwork.
Each place OF business was entered
and the inspector threaded his way
through the maze Of rooms, passage
ways and up and down stairs. Every
where were busy groups of natives,
Chinese and Japanese engaged in
cleaning out some part of their prem
ises. They had feverishly anticipated
the visit of the inspectors, and per-
formed hasty sanitary acts. Clothes
closets had been rummaged and cast-of
articles We're quickly thrown into
general heap of all kinds of rubbish.
The kitchens, sinks and outhouses were
carefully inspected, and in nearly every
place visited heaps Of forbidden accu-
mutations OF refuse were unearthed
Piled up against fences, garbage piles
were numerous. Many foul-smelling
sinks and Outhouses were condemned
AT once and. were Immediately torn
down and removed, or disinfected, and
the cesspools filled up. In other places
near cesspoOls were ordered to be dug
without delay.
IN NARROW WAYS
In dark passageways, damp and full
of strong doors, where the light of the
sun never penetrates, lanterns had To
be carried. Many rooms without win
dows and provided only with a low,
narrow doorway, We're the sleeping
quarters of Chinese, as many as a half
dozen persons occupying one small
room big enough only for two.
AN INSPECTOR STORY.
The Japanese living and sleeping
quarters were musty-smelling and not
overly clean. Said one of the inspect
ors: We made q thorough eXamina-
ton of the entire block through and
through. We took along dray with
three barrels of lime, a barrel of disin-
fecting fluid, buckets. brushes and
sprinklers. We went into every alley
way and followed everyone to its end
even having TO use lanterns. In every
kitchen the garbage was removed and
every portion disinfected with a sOlu-
ton of bichloride of lime. Every out
house was especially attended TO for
some of them were outrageously foul.
