FIGHTING THE PLAGUE.
Active Cooperation Between Gov
ernment Departments.

Bubonic plague in Manila is to be COM
bated with all the means modern science
has provided. Quarantine matters in the
Philippines have been put in charge of the
Marine Hospital Service and Surgeon Cen
eral Wyman is having the active co-opera-
ton of the Surgeon General of the Army
and the military and naval surgeons in
the Philippines.
Col. Charles r. Greenleaf, Assistant Sur
geon General. is in charge of the army
medical force in the islands, and Passed
Assistant Surgeon Perry is the represen-
tative there of the Marine Hospital Ser
vice. Other officers will be sent out. and
two complete disinfeeting plants, with ap-
piiances for sulphur fumigation and steam
disinfecting chambers, have arrived in
Manila and will be set up by Surgeon
Perry.
Surgeon General Wyman believes ii will
be possible to prevent a serious epidemic
in Manila. He said today he saw no rea-
son for alarm
General Wyman has compiled PAM
phlet on the plague for circulation among
medical officers, in which he insists
strongly upon the utmost care in inspec-
tion. He says. the greatest danger OF the
introduction of the plague is not from the
serious cases. but from those of mild
type There is comparatively little danger
from q ship known to have the disease on
board. for such vessel will be thorough
ly disinfected and the cases watched. The
real danger is from persons or vessels not
suspected of having the disease. and for
this reason inspection cannot be too rigid.
The plague has been robbed OF most OF
it's terrors by the development OF an anti
toxin serum. This serum is being prepar-
ed by the Marine Hospital Service. to-
gether with preventive with which
troops and others in the Philippines will
be treated If 1t should be necessary.
Personal cleanliness and sanitation of
dwellings have much to do with prevent
ing the spread of the bubonic plague. Abb
seuce of proper sewerage system in Ma
niIa will make the task Of control there
somewhat harder than it would otherwise
be.
AS far as it known here, the present
outbreak Of the plague in Manila is the
first appearance of the plague in that city.
1t is believed that If 1t can be eradicated,
and 1t can be shown that there is no dan
ger of the spread Of the disease under
American control. 1t will do much to ad-
vance the commercial interests Of the
port.

THEORIES ABOUT FOOD.
Also Few Facts on the Same Sub
ject.

Also a Few Facts on the Same Sub
ject.
We hear much nowadays about health
| foods and hygienic living. about vegetarian
| ism and many other fads along the same
line.
Restaurants may be found In the larger
cities where no meat. pastry, or coffee is
served and the food crank is in his glory,
and arguments and theories galore ad-
vanced to prove that meat was never intend
ed for human stomachs, and almost make
us believe that our sturdy ancestors. who
lived four score years In robust health on
roast beef, pork, and mutton, must have
been grossly ignorant of the laws of health.
Our forefathers had other things to do
than formulate theories about the food they
ate. A warm welcome was extended to any
kind from bacon to acorns.
A healthy appetite and common sense are
excellent guides to follow in matters of
diet and a mixed diet of grains, fruits and
meats is undoubtedly the best.
AS compared with grains and vegeta bIes
meat furnishes the most nutriment in a
highly concentrated form and is adigested
and assimilated more quickly than yegeta-
bles and grains.
Dr. Julius Remmson on this subject says:
Nervous persons. people run down In
health and of low vitality should eat meat
and plenty of it. If the digestion Is too
feeble at first it may be easily corrected by
the regular use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets after each meal. Two of these excel
lent tablets taken after dinner win digest
several thousand grains of meat, eggs, or
other animal food in three hours, and no
matter how weak the stomach may be, no
trouble will be experienced il a regular
practice is made of using Stuat's Dyspep-
sia Tablets, because they supply the pep
sin and diastase necessary to perfect diges-
tion, and every form of indigestion will be
overcome by their use.
That large class of people who come un-
der the head of nervous dyspeptics should
eat plenty OF meat and insure its proper
digestion by the daily use of safe, harm
less digestive medicine like Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets, composed of the natural
digestive principles, pepsin. diastase, fruit
acids, and salts, which actually perform
the work Of digestion. Cheap cathartic
medicines, masquerading under the name of
dyspepsia cures, are useless for indigestion
as they have absolutely no effect upon the
actual digestion of food.
Dyspepsia in all its many forms is sim
ply failure of the stomach to digest food
and the sensible way to solve the riddle
and cure the dyspepsia is to make daily
use at meal time of a preparation like
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. which is en-
dorsed by the medical profession and known
to contain active digestive principles.
All druggists sell Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets at SOC for full treatment.

Representative Freer Not Seeking
the GubernatoriaI Nomination.

MORGANTOWN, W. Va. Jan. IA
close friend of Representative Romeo II.
Freer living here received a letter from
him yesterday which leads to the inference
that he will not oppose Collector A. B.
White for the Republican gubaTnatorial
nomination, as has been generally supposed.
Several of Mr.. Whites friends, who are in
touch with the situation, cOnfdentillly pre-
diet that Mr.. Freer will formally announce
his withdrawal this week. and say their
candidate will be nominated without Lp-
position when the convention meets. There
is no doubt that to Senator Elkins and
Senator Scott is due the clearing Of the
field for Mr.. White, as he was not favored
by many of the leading men of his party.

The thirteenth annual report OF the In
teistate Commerce Commission has beer
made to Congress. II is a voluminous doc
ument and treats at length upon many
topics which have come before the Com
mission. Among other things, the report
save;
In its last annual report the Commission
stated that attention had been called in
previous reports 10 the vital respects in
which the act 10 regulate commerce has
proved defective and inadequate; that the
present law cannot be properly enforced,
and that until further legislation is pro-
Nided the best efforts at legislation must
be feeble and disappointing. The requests
AZ The Commission for needful amendments
have been supported by petitions and me-
morials from agricultural, manufacturing,
and commercial interests throughout the
country; yet not a line Of the statute has
been changed and none of The burdensome
conditions which call for relief has been
removed or modified.
The reasons for the failure Of the law
90 accomplish the purposes for which It was
enacted have been so frequently and fully
set forth that repetition cannot add to their
force or make them better understood IL
IS sufficient to say that the existing situ-
alton and the developments OF the past
year render more imperative than ever be-
fore the necessity for speedy and suitable
legislation. We therefore renew the rec
concentrations heretofore made and earn
estly urge their early consideration and
adoption.
Many persons do not understand the
precise nature of the amendments required
for enforcing the substantive provisions OF
The act while others have apparently
reached the belief that no scheme Of regu-
lation short Of Government ownership and
operation can be made effective. Never
theless il is perhaps safe TO say that nine
tenths OF the people do know that any
railroad company can charge for its service
whatever il pleases and as much as il
pleases, without any real power in this
Commission or any other tribunal or court
10 limit the amount of such charge for the
future when complaint is made by an
sggrieved shipper. and that they are sub
stantially of one mind in desiring that this

Tlle Ruglness situntlon

While prices on Wall street have
shown some reactionary symptoms dur
ing the week, it has been owing more to
a disposition to take profits as they arc
seen than to any pronounced change in
the general situation, which Is quite en-
couragins to investors and buyers alike.
Henry Clcws, shrewd observer Of al
fairs, says in his weekly letter review
ing the conditions Of the stock market
that 'the public havc both bought and
sold furthermore freely than OF late;and
the readiness with which stocks offered
are absorbed by strong buyers is evi-
dence of healthy conditions. White
there are clements In the situation that
will bear watching, such as the prasl-
dental campaign and the future of the
money market, It would be folly to sup
pos, that these factors viii produce
like the disturbances of four
years ago. Conditions are in very
striking contrast with 1896"
In speaking of Investment stocks Mr.,
Clcws expresses the opinion that rail-
road shares should be preferred above
the industrlals. American railroads
he says, were never in such sound con-
dition as to-day; sound both financially
and physically. Nearly all have passed
through the reorganization process;
they are managed by professional rail-
road men, not stock spectators; they
are honestly managed. and running at
the lowest cost per mile in their history;
while many of the industrials are run
ming at their largest ratio of expense.
Again the railroads have many sources
of income, and their gains being less
excessive than the lndustrials are less
likely to suffer shrinkaga when business
quiets down. There is no gainsaylng
the statement that American raiIroad
shares offer the safest and soundest An
vestments OF any available. Some Of
the industrial shares are good OF
course; but they are closely held anil
are likely to show far more depreciation
when the next downward movement
comes than good railroad shares"
