Florida aud took an aotivs part In haht-
Ing the yellow fsxsr daring the famous
epidemic in Msmphis In 1878. In speak
Ing of his expsrisnoss a. that tlms be
said.
That was the worst epidemic Of ysi.
low fever the country has ever known.
We hurled over 90 per cent. Of our medi.
cal corps. The reason Memphis Jared
worse than the other cities OF the South
was that this sanitary arrangements were
so poor. In fact IL can hardly be said
that there were any Enritary arrange,
ments. There wafn't Eswer in ths
place. The pavements were OF wood and
had reached q stage OF decomposition
which made them admirable receptacies
for germs OF all kinds. Consequently we
had hard battle to light. But these con-
ditions have changed. Memphis now has
the most improved methods Of sanitation,
and all the cities OF the South have been
squalIy well cleansed The proper way to
fight yellow fever is TO kesp the cities
clean and then prevent disease from c0m-
Ing into them by q rigid quarantine.
This is just what 10 being done now. IL
Is har1 matter for suspicious case to
get by the quarantine officials In Florida,
and presume that the snme may bs said
Of the officials OF the whoie'coast. Even
IL the fever should creep IN there will
never be another epidemic suoh as the
one Of 1873, because, with the improved
methods Ct sanitation, it could be
stamped out before 1t had opportunity to
spread.
II don't believe In yellow fever serums.
In fact. 1t has never leon proved TO
my satisfaction that seruEss aze good for
anything, but am especially skeptical
about them whore yellow feser is con-
oerned.'

science knows this, and its highest authori-

The great success of DIR. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery in curing wasted bodies,

supplies the strength to throw off diseases

The Suburban Woman.

The suburban woman dons her bon
net these evenings. draws on her gloves
and slips around to her neighbOr, Mrs
Blank Mrs. Brown, who lives in the
same lane. does the same, and Mrs
Smith. whose house is picturesquely
but inconveniently situated on the
brow of the hill, drives down in state
10 attend the conclave. says the New
York Commercial Advertiser. Mrs.
Blank welcomes them and several
others and they all rustic and fuss and
smile amiably and talk at the same
time, just as they would in the city
club. But they talk of things of more
vital importance than should Fune-
rails Be Held in the Morning or in the
Evening" or The Evolution of an
Artistic Motive" The subjects of most
interest just at present are weeds:
Their Cause and Cure" "Ajhids: Their
determination" "Snail Hunts by Can
die Light" and Rose Protectors"
These suburban gardeners know
what they are talking about, but in
other respects they conduct themselves
like full-fedged club women. They
read papers ana exhibit skeleton
rose leaves upon which the wicked
leaf-roller and his equally abominable
brother the slug, have dined freely
They denounce pigweed and burdOck
and nettles in words that scorch; when
they come 10 teaZel, that pertinacious
plant that squeeZes the aSter out of its
birthplace and crowds the mignonette
to the wall, mere words fail the sub
urbanite. Her vocabulary was never
meant to bear such a strain, and she
chokes family and the word "teaZel'
reaches her audience; the rest is swal-
lowed up in means of assent and sym
pathy or signs Of perfect understand
ing.
The suburban woman is tremen
ously interested in the subject of the
meeting, not in the mere meeting itself
Here again she differs from the ordin-
ary club woman. She often lets Mrs
Blanks fragrant tea grow cold because
she is so absorbed in Mrs. Green's dis
Sertation on tobacco smoke and snuff
as a preventive of red spiders. She
has been known to adjourn all by her
self into the garden to investigate the
statements of her colleagues. after be-
ing wrought up by an essay on the
deadly snail who comes on moonlight
nights TO feed upon the damask cheek
of budding roses. 1t is quite startling
to hear the easy familiarity with
which these gentle clubbists speak of
using paris green, tobacco-smoking and
tobacco watering. busting things with
snuff and spraying other things with
castor oil. The ignorant city visitor
wonders what flowers can survive
such treatment. The zeal of the gar
deners is something vindictive to the
point of savagery. Don't cut down
weed" said one woman with flash
ing eyes. Pull it up root and branch
and burn it. Who knows but 1t may
scatter its baleful seeds wherever it
be cast?" The next morning every
member of that concalve was hoeing
industriously in her garden.
To the superficial observer the sub
urbanite, with her earnest ways and
her habit of giving open-air demon
strations of her theories. seems an
unusual type of club woman. But it
is the city clubbist who is odd. The
hoeing, digging suburbanite is the
common or garden variety of the spe-
cies.
