FELT HUNGRY TWICE.

DR.. Wilkinson has already at times
felt the return Of bis appetite, but as
vet does not think that it is constant
and normal. He believes that the
next few days will see the return Of
his normal appetite and a complete
cure of his trouble.
II the experiment proves successful,
and DR.. Wilkinson has no doubt in
bis mind that it will, it will be a val
liable addition to the medical know
ledge of the profession. Thousands
are sufferers from arrangements of the
digestive organs and would gladly un-
>dergo a season of fasting if they knew
it would afford them relief and per-
manent cure. DR.. Wilkinson in no
way desires notoriety as a faster and
is not refraining from eating in order
to make a record along this line. 1t
was his desire that nothing be said
about the treatment he is undergoing
until it is completed and the degree
of success could be definitely reported.

While as many men, women and
children as could stand on the en-
bankment were packing sand bags to
the rails to prevent break, the re-
sistless current broke through the
wall of earth and spurted in rivulets
in the face of those who were carrying
sandbagS up the bank. Bags thrown
into the openings by dozens Of men

they joined their companions in warn

district of their danger.

NEGRO SHOT DEAD.

Sdo1 OEHD.
Here the scenes Of the past week
were repeated as the streets were
quickly transposed into dixie. An
appeal from Mayor Cook to the COVER
nor Of Illinois for state troops to aid
in guarding property was answered by
the promise that details Of militia
would be. sent to East ST. Louis at
once.
A few hours before the break in the
levee Ned Roberts, a negro employed
as a levee builder was killed by mem
bers of the levee patrol for attempting
to tear down a portion Of the dixie.
His act ras caused by anger because
he was not allowed to draw his pay at
once.
Relief boats started from St. Louis
for East St. Louis early Wednesday
morning. Congressman William y.
Rodenburg issued an appeal for aid
for the flood sufferers. Food, he says,
is mostly needed and means must be
had for delivering it to persons who
are in upper stories of their homes
and in box cars.
At 9 o'clock water was threatening
the north and east sides, preserved
temporarily by the Baltimore anu
Ohio railroad embankment and had
reached to the viaduct only seven
blocks east of the city hall. In this
public building foot aOd Il half OF
side water had already collected. All
low points of the city are under water.
EVERYBODY WARNED.
When the break occurred warnings
were first sent through the city BY
messengers who discharged firearms,
blew horns and shouted in stentoriaD
tones the news of the flood arrival.
Lights cleaned in houses where the
occupants had confidence in the EN-.
bankment.
Persons Scantily atClred emerged
from their homes and in a few min
! utes the whole populace Of the low dis
trict attacked, six miles in area were
fleeing to higher ground. As the
noise of the approaching flood was
heard the flight at first a rapid retreat

Tendency of The Times.

The tendency of medical science is
toward preventive measures. The best
thought of the world is being given to
the subject. 1t is easier and better to
prevent than to cure. 1t has been fully
demonstrated that pneumonia, one of
the most dangerous diseases that medi-
cal men have to contend with, can be
prevented by the use of Chamberlain 5
Cough Remedy Pneumonia always re-
suits from a cold or from an attack of
influenza (grip). aud it has been OBJ
served that this remedy counteracts any
tendency of these diseases toward pneu-
monia. This has been fully proven in
many thous ,nds of cases i'll which this
remedy has been used during the great
prevalence of colds aud grip i'll recent
years, and can be relied upon with inn

DIR. JOHN S. FULTON.
Sec'y State Board of Health,
Baltimore, Md.
Dear Sir:-The enclosed letter has
come to the notice of the Worcester
County School Board. The Board has
been credibly informed that this circular
letter of yours has been, and is now
being sent from house to house in the
town of Berlin and the surrounding
country, for the purpose of damaging
the School Board and its management.
Now we wish to say that we have taken
every precaution that is in our power
to prohibit the attendance of any pupil
IN our public schools who was not vacci-
mated. We have instructed time and
time again all of our teachers not to
permit any child to attend their school
unless they had been properly vacci-
mated. We also wish to call your at
law that empowers us to spend any
money for vaccination. Why not lay
the blame at the door of the State Board
of Health, rather than the School Board?
We Judge it is their duty to look after
infectious diseases to prevent, and when
they do break out (by fault of the School
Board or otherwlse) to prohibit the
spread of same We know the school
law says every child before being adj
mitted to any public school shall pro-
duce certificate from a regular physi-
clan that he has been properly vacci-
mated, and we have enjoined upon our
teachers not tn admit pupil who does
the teacher of the Tyre child admitted
her to attend the public school without
producing certificate of vaccination,
then the teacher by civil law is liable to
the fine Now, we are ready as far as
II hes i'll our power To co operate with
you, the State Board of Health, to have
every person, child and adult. in Wor-
cester County vaccinated. We feel
very much aggrieved that you should
blame the School Board for the cause
of the Tyre child having the small pox,
as they know that in no way were they
responsible. We received from you
year or more ago a letter calling our
attention to the matter of vaccination.
We Immediately notified our teachers
not to admit any pupil who was not
properly vaccinated. When it comes
to our notice that any pupil is attend
ing the public schools who has not been
properly vaccinated the pupil is imme.
diately dismissed until he produces the
proper certificate.
Very respectfully yours.

Pocomoke City, Md.
Dcor .Sir:-Replying to yours of Janu-
airy 18th, have to say that in a letter
to Mr. CULLEN yesterday we endeavered
to state the ground of our opinion that
the School Board is primarily response
BILE for the susceptibility of the Tyre
child to small pox. Our note to Mr..
Harrison was private communication
and should not have been published.
We are not responsible for its wide dis
tribution, indeed we regret it in as
much as il has embarrassed you. We are
entirely willing to share with the local
boards of health and the school boards
the responsibility for all the small pox
that has occurred and will occur in
Maryland
Wherever single case originates in
Maryland it is up to us to explain why
we could not or did not prevent it,
Whenever a case occurs in a school
going child, it is up to the school board
to make the explanation.
We propose, taking up your sugges-
ton that you desire to cooperate with
us, to furnish the next Grand Jury in
formation concerning the Tyre child or
any other unvaccinated child who has
been i'll att enhance at school in Worces-
ter County In order to do this we
shall have 10 depend upon the school
board for C rtain information, as ours
is only frag entary.
Yours very truly.

SCHOOL BOARD REPLIES.

Secretary McMaster Answers
DR.. ]. S. Fulton Regarding
Charges Made by the Doc
tor Relative to Responsible
ity of Smallpox i'll Berlin.
Snow HILL, MD, Feb. 3rd, 1903.
To the Patrons and teachers If the Public
Schools
The following is an extract from a
private letter from DIR. John S. Fulton,
Secretary of the State Board of Health,
to Mayor Orlando Harrison of Berlin:
1.-THE occurrence of smallpox
i'm Berlin could have been pre-
vented for 30 cents. The only
thing necessary was that the
Tyre child should have been vac
cinated. That she was not vac
cinated is the fault of the School
Board. and to that extent the
School Board of Worcester Co.,
is responsible for your smallox."
Regarding the above the Secretary of
the School Board wrote DIR. Fulton. and
from his reply the patrons of the schools
must see the necessity and Importance
of vaccination, and the teachers will see
the risks they take in permitting child
to attend school without certificate of
vaccination from physician.

nerS.
"A Farmer Who has Canned" writes
to the Democratic Ledger. of Havre de
Grace, Md, as follows: Prospects are
not so bright for Gamers when COM
pared with this time last year. Early
last year tomatoes sold for 81 35 case:
now they are offered at Sl7O, and go
slow at 60 cents a case below last years
price. There is greater number of
Gamers in Hartford county than in any
other county in the United States. Har-
ford county is full of factories. Besides,
about go to 20 factories are operated in
ether counties of Maryland, Delaware,
Virginia and Pennsylvania. Last year
Gamers made contracts for tomatoes at
from So to $3.50 a ton. These prices
were considered extra good until the
report came in that the whole Western
tomato crop was failure. The West
-ern packers are great people to speculate
and had sold heavily of futures. When
their crops failed they rushed East to
cover their sales, which caused prices to
run high. Baltimore packers had sold
considerable futures also. Consequently
these orders had to be filled, and Balti.
more packers offered fancy prices for to-
matoes, causing the Delaware farmers
to jump their contracts and ship to
Baltimore. A great many of these
farmers were poor and unreliable, and
the Gamer had no redress. Almost
every farmer in Hartford and O.
counties, Maryland, and La
county, Pennsylvania, lived up
agreement. The farmers of xSese
counties are very shrewd bu. ness
pie, and they claim tomatoes ar
paying crop of to day. and they al
anxious to contract with Gamers at.s.
years prices. The Gamers claiF their
prospects are not so bright am they
cannot pay the contract price prevailing
last year. Some of the old Gamers are
selling out their plants to new begin
ners. who claim they can pay s. and 50
a ton for tomatoes.
