discharges from the eyes, ears, nose,
throat, kidneys and boweles Of the sick;
or with the clothing, bedding, carpets,
or other furniture which may have been
in use by the sick.
Young children are especially liable
to scarlet feVer-older ones and adults
less so.
The period during which the disease
can be communicated may approximate
ly be placed at four weeks, supposing
that the patient has convalesced and
remains free from fever and dropsical
symptoms.
The following measures are recon-
mended as preventives against the
spread of this most contagious disease:
Put rigid quarantine upon the sick
for period of at least three weeks,
even if the disease exists in the mildest
form; and during this period exclude all
persons from the patients room who are
not necessarily in attendance there; Sc
secure, without sensible currents or
drafts, continual change of the air of
the sick room.
Those in attendance upon the sick
should not mingle with other members
OF the household who are liable to have
the disease, and the party so exposed
should repeatedly rinse the mouth and
gargle the throat with some mild as
tringent.
| Members of any household where
scarlet fever exists, whether mild or
malignant, should refrain from ming
ling with children in schools, churches,
Sunday-schools, or other indoor places;
and association with adults should be
Restricted as much as possible.
A person convalescent from scarlet
fever must be considered dangerous as
long as scaling of the skin continues, or
any symptoms of dropsy remain; and
such person should not appear in public
after all symptoms have disappeared,
until he has taken full bath three or
four times, at intervals of two days. His
clothing, if worn at all during his sick
ness, must also have been thoroughly
disinfected.
All articles of clothing in use by any
of the sick, and all articles of furniture
used in the sick room, should be thor
oughly disinfected. Boiling is the best
means of disinfecting clothing, and fol
the disinfection of furniture it should
be subjected for eight or ten hours tC
dense fumes of burning sulphur in 9
close room. The room which has beer
occupied by a scarlet fever patient
should be newly painted and papered
or kalsomined. Any article which cal
not be disinfected should be burned.

PRINCE HENRY WILL
 SAIL AS SCHEDULED
Finds It Impossible to Comply With Mayor Lows Request to Leave
 EarIier-Wll Not Be Delayed.

| Kiel Prussia, February 13. Mayor Low of New York has cabled to Prince Henry of Prussia saying that Herr Wei gand director general of the North Ger man Lloyd Line, thinks that unless the Kronprlnz Welhem sails from Bremen earlier than o'clock Saturday afternoon she will not be able to arrive at New York, owing to the rough weather which prevails at this season of the year, until late on the afternoon of February 22, too late for the ceremony of the municipal welcome and the presentation to the prince of the freedom of the city of New York.
 When asked if the steamer could not leave Bremen at an earlier hour Prince Henry replied that he was unable to l change the sailing hour to reach New York early on Saturday, February P. The Kronprlnz Welhelm Is not char | tered by Prince Henry. He and his party go simply as passengers, and it is now too late to notify the hundreds of other passengers that the steamer would sail | twelve hours earlier than heretofo an- nounced, as she would have to do in or der to catch the tide.
 Herr Wiegands view of the case is not shared by the commander of the Kronprinz Wilhelm. The latter thinks the steamer can reach New York by mid day February p.
 Prince Henry spent the morning read ing President Roosevelts American Ideals" and during the afternoon Inc coasted on the hill back of the cas- tie over a slope which had been the scene of hundred fierce fights. Prince Henry. his adjutant, Commander Egg. and two of the little princesses were on unpainted sleighs, the boys yelling lustily as they charged down the ap- proach.

Despite Rain and Cold He Makes Jour- ney Over the Bay and Encounter

New York, February 13.-Between showers this afternoon M. Santos Du- mont made a fourth 'sortie" from his aerodrome with his airship. cables the Monte Carlo correspondent of the Herald.
 At o'clock the rain having ceased for a moment, the aeronaut sailed away in the direction of Cape Martin. preceded by two boats from Prince Monaco's yacht the Princess Alice, and followed by a steam launch commanded by the Prince
 Half way between the aerodome anG Cape Martin, the sky becoming cloudy and the wind suddenly arising, the aero naut wheeled about and returned to the Port DHercule, where the occupants of the steam launch were able to seize tho guide rope at 2:35 o'clock and conduct the airship near the aerodrome.
 The maneuVers then became very diff ticult. Some of the suspension wires hat been broken and the Prince had his arm bruised by the guide rope, whicl weighs fifty kilogrammes, sweeping ran idly over the stern of the steam launch When the airship was ten meters from shore the guide rope was passed from the steam launch to a small boat ant then to workmen on the jetty.
 This is the longest trip NJ. Santos Dumont has accomplished both as f. time and distance.

IRON MARKET
 GROWS STRONGER
Both Pig Iron and Steel A(-
 vanced During Week
CAPACITY IS INADEQUATE E
The Small Fo"Hdries That Buy From Month to Month Are Likely to Be Pinched By Scarcity of Prod
 uct for Early Delivery.

Cleveland. O.. February 19.-The Iron Age Review, discussing market condi- tions in it's current issue, says:
 Each weel. adds to the strength of the iron market and accents the inadequacy of pig iron and steel marking capacity to supply the country's present demands. The course of the market the past week and the statistical position of pig iron on February 1 tell the same story of the prodigious consumption beyond all re- cord, and of production still tagging be- hind Statistics of pig iron output in January and of stock reductions between January l and February, point to con- sumption in the first month of the year at the rate of 1S,00O,0OO gross tons year, while blast furnace capacity active on February I represents an output at the rate of about GOO tons a year.
 But we are not sure even of this made quate capacity The severe snow storms of last week, having again deranged railroad operations so that many fur naces were compelled to bank for a day or two for lack of coke. Both pig iron and steel have advanced in the week.
 The demand for basic iron Is not so strong as in the preceding week.
 Foundry iron is advancing under good buying for the second half. Small foun- dries that buy from month to month are likely to be pinched by the scarcity of iron for delivery in the first half which has already developed One estimate based on careful inquiry is that two- thirds of the foundry iron production for the year is now under contract

HOOD FOR FANS.

Manager Peters of Atlanta and Man ager Frank of Memphis were in Birming- ham with the managers of the local team discussing matters of interest to the fans few days since. Manager Frank will be in the game this season, back in left field, and the local men are wondering how long a fly 1t will take to land a home run if knocked in his direction.
 It is probable the season will open Ap Til 24. According to the schedule submitted by the committee which has been prac- tically agreed on by all the managers. Birmingham will open in Atlanta for three games and then return home for six games. As Atlanta has been out of the league for some time and the fans there are rather hungry, it is thought large crowds will pack the grounds for the three opening games.
 It Is probable that the Chicago team of the American League will play two games with the local team about April 16 and r. Crazy Rube Waddell, the crack l pitcher of the American League, may be in the box one of the games. Chicago won the pennant in the American League last year and they are out for the goods l again this time.
 l It Is rumored that Sanders of Nashville and Cribbins of Memphis will be with a National League team this season. | Little Rock reports that Skopec, Ala mango, Popp, Britenstein and Guese will do the tossing this year. The aggregation is Il strong one. Skopec, Allamange and Popp have decided not to take chances with American or National League teams.

The onion Is undoubtedly a wholesome article of food, in fact has many medici- nal qualities of value but it would be difficult to find a more ndigestible arti- cle than fried onions. and to many peo- pie they are simply poison. but the onion does not stand alone in this respect Any article of food that is not thoroughly di- gested becomes a source of disease and discomfort whether it be fried onions or beef steak
 The reason why any wholesome food is not promptly digested is because the stomach lacks some import ant element of digestion, some stomachs lack peptone, others are deficient in gastric juice still others lack hydrochloric acid
 The one thing necessary to do in any case of poor digestion is to supply those elements of digestion which the stomach lacks, and nothing does this so thorough ly and safely as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
 Dr. Richardson in writing a thesis on treatment of dyspepsia and indigestion, closes his remarks by saying, flor those suffering from acid dyspepsia, shown by sour, watery risings, or for fiatulent dys- pepsia shown by gas on stomach causing heart trouble and difficult breathing. as well as for all other forms of stomach 'iNuoie' tio 9aiesl ttedtiHeil IS 10 take one or two of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after each meal. I advise them because they contain no harmful drugs, but are composed of valuable digestives, which act promptly upon the food eaten I never knew a case of indigestion or even chronic dyspepsia which Stuart's Tablets would not reach"
 Cheap cathartic medicines claiming to cure dyspepsia and indigestion can have no effect whatever in actively digesting the food and to call any cathartic medi- cine cure for indigestion is mis- homer
 Every druggist in the United States and Canada sells Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. and they are not only the safest and most successful but the most scientific of any treatment for indigestion and stom ach troubles.
