During the autumn of 1900 IN eXpe-
rimental sanitary station was estab-
lished in the open, a mile from Que
mados. Two houses were built, tightly
constructed, with windows and doors
protected by wire screens. In one OF
these houses, soiled sheets, pillow
cases, and blankets were used as bed
ding. and this bedding was brought
straight from the beds of patients sick
with yellow fever at Havana. For SO
days these beds were occupied by
members of the hospital corps for pc
| RODS varying from 20 to Il days. At
the end of this occupation the men,
who were all non-immunes, were ia
ken to quarantine for five days and
then released. Not one of them was
taken i'll. All were released in excel
lent health. This experiment is of the
greatest Importance, as showing that
the disease Is not conveyed by fomites,
and hence the disinfection of cloth
ing, bedding, or merchandise supposed
to have been contaminated by contact
with yellow fever patients is no longer
necessary, and the extremes to which
this disinfection. work has been car
ried in cases of yellow fever epidem-
les in our southern states have been
perfectly useless.
The Infected Mosquito building"
In the ether house, which was known
as the infected mosquito building"
were no articles which had not been
carefully disinfected. The house con-
tanned two rooms. and non-immunes
were placed in both rooms. In one
room. separated from the other by wire
screen partitions only. mosquitoes
which had bitten yellow fever patients
were admitted. From the other room
they were excluded. In the latter room
the men remained in perfect health;
in the mosquito DON so per cent Of
the persons bitten by infected mosqui-
toes that had been kept twelve days

matter Of prompt payment OF salaries
Many of Us are So situated hat we
need every dollar due us as soon MS our

necessity makes prompt payment ncces-
sary in order that we may meet our pc
cuniary obligations promptly.
In the past, however, for reasons best
known TO themselves, the sheriff and
his deputies have failed in many in
stances to make prompt payment, thus
greatly mountaineering the teachers
and, incidentally, giving them not a
little trouble,
Now, the point is this. Can the new
sheriff and his deputies not devise some
means to pay the teachers as soon as
they present their orders and not com
pei them to wait until the sheriff sees
fit to collect taxes sufficient to do SO !
This is matter we hope Sheriff Bill

Der when they take charge of the tax
books next fall and thus earn the last.
