SOME FACTS THE WORLD SHOULD KNOW.
The Stamping Out OF yellow Fevcrs
Has Followed the American sam

Waged Upon the Breeding Places
of Mosquitoes.

Washington. March 23.-An inter
esting statement concerning the i'm
provement in heath conditions in
Havana since the American occupa-
ton of Cuba. with special vital
statistics for the calendar year
1901. has been made public
by the insular division OF
the war department Particular
attention is paid TO the purging OF
the city of yellow fever. during the
past year. by the destruction of in
fected mosquitoes 1t is of vast i'm
portance, the statement says, that
these facts be made known To the
world extensively and as rapidly as
possible. During the past IS years,
with scarcely an exception, some
deaths have occurred from yellow
fever in every month of the year. the
maximum, 2.05S deaths. taking place
in 1857; the minimum. u deaths, in
1866. with the average Isl. The num-
Der of other infectious and conta-
gious diseases has been small during
the calendar year 1901. There has
been very little diphtheria and ~
phoid fever. and the tuberculosis rate
is about that of most cities of civil
lied countries. A rapid decrease has
taken place since American occupa-
ton. A marked decrease in malaria
also has occurred since the moquito
work began. The statement con-
cludes as follows:
..The army took charge OF the
health department of Havana when
deaths were occurring al the rate OF
21.252 per year. 1t gives il up with
deaths occurring at the rate of s.
720 per year. 1t took charge with
smallpox epidemic for years. 1t gives
il up with not a single case having
occurred in the city for over
Is months 1t took charge
with yellow fever epidemic for
two centuries. 1t found Havana
feared as a thing unclean ~ all
States, and quarantined a. anger
Gus section to touch or even 10 come
near anything that she had touched.
TO the untold financial loss of both
Havana and the United States. Ii
has established the fact that yellow
fever is only transmitted by GER
tain species of mosquito. q discovery
that in its power for saving human
life.is only excelled by Jenncr's great
discovery, and rs time goes on it Will
stand in the same class as that great
boon 10 mankind.
''The army has stamped out this
disease in its greatest stronghold
there having been only five deaths in
the last nine months of the past year
and no deaths and no cases during
the last three months OF the same
year; and il has demonstrated sys-
tenn by which yellow fever can Ger
tainly be controlled without the in
reference TO commerce."

Deafness Cannot BE Cured

By local applications. as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by cOnstitu-
tiOnal remedies Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining of the
eustachian tube. When this tube gets inflamed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when il is entirely closed deafness is
the result and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an infamed condition of
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of deafness (caused by catarrh) that can
not be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for

were donated by the Ruskin industrial
societies of Great Britain to the disci-
piles of Ruskin In this country. The col
lege has conducted its appointed work
to the satisfaction of all concerned, at
tracting a gOOdly number of students
without any great flourish of trumpets.
AS an outgrowth of the college or at
least a development of the Ruskin idea
which filled the minds of its founders
there now appears movement which
promises to revolutionize the entire
business and industries Of the city.
The pl1n is to esta blish here a cooper
ative colony or system on larger scale
than has ever before been attempted
and with better financial backing
than any similar scheme has ever en-
jOyed.
The head of this new cooperative EN-
terprise is Walter VrOOman, an enthu-
siaStic disciple of Ruskin. who has as
sOciated with him others of kindred
aims and ambitions and formed the
Western Co operative association.
whose purpose is to bring the whole
city under the scope of its operations.
\ fair start in this direction has al
ready been made. The association has
already acquired and has in operation
three grocery stores. a drugstore and
a big department store. besides an aX

sociatiOn paid cash for all these and in

said. in the four banks of the city. with
the assurance that there was S1.OOO,OOU
more V here that came from to put into
the scheme when it was required.
Mr.. VrOOman insists that there is
money enough i'll sight To successfully
ilOat this sOcialistic experiment and
says that he has received many pledges
from his wealthy friends who are i'll
terested in the movement. These
pledges have come from different parts
of the country.
The head of the movement repudi-
ates both philanthropy and charity i'll
connection with his plan and declares
that it is purely business proposition.
The purpose of the "co-Ops," as he and
those associated with him are called. is
to do all the business of the town on
the cooperative plan for the profit of
the shareholders. Any one can become
Il shareholder in the association by
paying SO and is then entitled to a
certain per cent Of the profits of the
business of the stores and other enter
prises conducted by the organization.

as well as grass linen and all the wash
goods And to wear with them are Of
fered the funniest little jackets. These
jackets are short, scarcely reaching to
the waist line and sometimes laid in
pressed folds. but quite as often left
plain. They all hang loosely from the
form and are variously called Monte
Carlo and Newport jackets. All have
wide sleeves. mostly rather short.
reaching scarcely to the wrist. The
neck is finished as best pleases the fan
cy of the wearer. but most of them
have fat collars. frequently of lace or
around the lower edge.
So when a lady in shirt waist
wants to go out and does not quite like
the idea OF appearing i'm such a waist
in the street without some attempt at a
more dressy garment these fill "a long
felt want" as we say. They are made
indifferently of Shangtung silk. black
taffeta or even some one of the nice tai
Ior stuffs. One was of gray Shangtung.
and all around the garment sleeves
and all. went two rows of white satin
ribbon. This was very effective when
pressed into the wide folds OF the
sleeves and short back and fronts. But
nothing Oh earth can make one of these
jackets pretty or graceful.
To return to the important topic Of
shirt waists, now is the time when the
wash waists will displace the lined silk
ones and the woOlen and velvet ones.
Still for dressy requirements we see
Shangtung, pongee taffeta. foulard. peau
de sole. peau de cygne and china Grape
waists in many different designs. But
these are "for Sundays" and what we
need most is everyday attire. for there
is but one Sunday in the week may
say, though, that tucking and insets OF
lace are the proper trimmings for the
silk waists.
The wash waists are made OF CinG-
ham, madras. chambray, cheviot. all
the lawns. dotted swisses and organ
dies. besides the percales, dimities and
merceriZed goods and cotton etamineS.
Some OF this latter material is really
beautiful. though costing but about Il
cents a yard. Ii takes about three
yards to make a shirt waist OF this for
