Mosquito Bite. .a..ss Death.

Havana, Aug. 10.-Chief Surgeon
Harvard announced today that the ex-
periments In the division of propaea-
tion Of yellow fever, 90 far az these
involved the mosquito test, will be dis
continued. This decision was taken
because one OF the hon-immuues who
was recently bitten by an infected
mosquito, died OF yellow fever TODAY.
The man. who was a Spaniard, de
sired to become an immune, and there
fore allowed himself to be bitten by an
infected mosquito. Another man who
was bitten is also suffering from a
very bad case. Both were bitten sby
insects which had been set apart for
the experiments of DIR. Caldex, the
Brazilian expert. arranging to demon.
strate the alleged efficiency Of a serum
as preventive against yellow fever
According to Major Harvard, the
cases due to mosquito infection, prior
to the latest two. were light; but the
matter has assumed a more dangerous
form than the first experiments led the
yellow fever commission to expect.
The experiments Of DIR. Calder have
not begun.
Bishop Mats Goes to Rons.
Denver, Aug. 19.-The Right Rev.
Nicholas Matz, Bishop of Denver, left
last Friday night for bis first visit to
the Pope in Rome. He was acconpa-
MED by his sister, Miss Elizabeth
Matz.
American bishops are required to
visit Rome every ten years and Europ-
can bishops every three years. 50
great has been the work Of Bishop
Matz in Denver that although he has
been bishop here for fourteen years, he
has not visited Rome, his work excus-
ing him.
Bishop Matx was born in Munster,
Alsace. He left there thirty-one years
ago and has never seen the town since.
On his way to Rome he will revisit his
birthplace. The church he attended as
a boy was destroyed by cannon balls
during the Franco Prussian war. 1t
has just been restored, and when in
Munster 1t will be consecrated by
Bishop Matz. 1t has been ready for
some time bat Its conservation has
been postponed until his arrival as the
people desire that the distinguished
American bishop officiate.

barbarous. and that he trusted that
Terre Haute would suffer as Calves

ing the siege at Kimberley, while there

A Cool Housemaid.

A rather curious method of burglar
catching Was resorted to by an in
genlous Iraidservant recently in New
York As The Electrical Review tells
the story. While in pursuit of her
household duties the maid noticed q
mans foot inside the clothes closet.
She did not scream. neither did she
jump at the door nor shut it with n
bang. Instead she took broom and
began TO sweep that corner of the
room near the closet. Her approach
was gradual, and the sweeping was
done so naturally that it would not
have aroused the most suspicious bur-
glar. At last The broom brushed the door
gently, but hard enough to close it to
the fraction of an inch. With five or
six more gentle sweeps that closet
door was shut and almost latched,
which she at length succeeded in doing
by gently pressing her arm against it
AS the telephone in her house was
so near the closet that the burglar
would be able TO hear her if she called
for assistance, she bethought herself
of another plan. In the back yard
some telephone linemen were at the
time making repairs ON wire that
runs 10 another house in the block
She went out and spoke to them. They
promptly tapped a wire, attached n
testing instrument and called up one
of the down town exchanges, which in
turn got the house owner, who in his
turn called up police headquarters
From there the call was sent to the
police station nearest the house, and
fvCO policamon wore Spnt around and
got the man.

WE KNOW HOW PALE
PEOPLE CAN GET RICH
RED BLOOD.
COME AND LET US TELL YOU
ABOUT VIN0L.

When blood is watery and thin, or,
as doctors would say, lacks red blood
corpuscles, it is sign that much is rad
ically wrong.
We would advise everyone who has
such symptoms to start at once to
take proper remedy to overcome this
trouble.
That remedy is Vinol, the greatest
and most modern tonic and rebuilder.
Vinol owes its virtue to the fact that
it contains in highly concentrated
state the active curative principles ex-
tracted from Gods livers, the same ele-
ments that have made cod-liver oil
famous for wasting diseases.
These medicinal clements are dis
solved in a delicious table wine so that
Vinol is most palatable.
None of the viIe-smelling obnoxious
grease that characterizes cod-liver oil
and frequently makes it an impossible
remedy for those who should take it,
is found in Vinol.
We could relate many instances
where Vinol has done good and re-
stored the roses of health to the pale
checks of the sufferer.
The following is a fair sample of the
way people write in regard to Vinol:
For several months / suffered lassi-
tude and tired all the time. Also a
sinking feeling in my stomach, which
nothing would relieve, and l was pale
and weak. AS an experiment / tried
Vinol and if / wrote pages could not
tell all it has done for me."-MRs. A.
h LA PRUscH, Amesbury, Mass.
Because we know Vinol so well,
and because we know so surely
what it will do, and how it will
accomplish the good it does in a
scientific way, we unreseryedIy en-
dorse and recommend it, and in
every instance guarantee to refund
TO any one what they pay us for
Vinol if they do not find it entirely
satisfactory.
