already gone down to Panama to see
what can be done to make the canal

tons are taken, the fearful mortality

peated
When Americans speak of Uncle

the greatest single sanitary task ever
undertaken by. mankind will have
been performed. Doctors and engi-

up Cuba, absolutely stamping yellow

to allow the canal work to proceed
unit! they have done everything with
IN the. power of modern science to
make the lsthn1us healthier than it is
The sanitary work will probably
start with the cleaning UP of the
towns of Colon and Panama, in which
the dirt of many generations has ac-
cumulated. Panama is city of moi
some odors. Compared with it, Port
au-Prince is sweet lavender and Con-
stantlnople altar of roses. There is
only one place where a dweller in
Panama can get away from the bad
smells, and that is on the old Spanish
battery which frowns over the sea at
some distance from the houses.
Strange to say, the native Panama
mans do not go there They are
content to live always in the midst of
immemorial filth
Indeed, the natives seem to have no
desire to live under healthier condi-
tons. Most of the epidemic and en-
demic diseases which have given the
lsthmus the reputation of being the
deadllest place on earth arise from
preventable causes. The Panamanian
will cheerfully build his house in the
middle of noisone swamp, and when
he dies of yellow fever his family will
throw away the mattress on which
he died, instead of burning it. On
one rubbish heap outside of Panama
hundreds of these old mattresses are
dumped, affording,> of course, an excel

One Man Who Has Been Spending
His Winters in New Mexico Says the
Minnesota Open Air Treatment
Beats Southern Trips.

Two dozen citizens of the twin cities
are staying out all night and every
night of this, the severest winter the
northwest has seen for many a year;
but this popularity in nocturnal habit
has had no appreciable effect on the
morals of the community.
The night hawks are not spending
the small hours in wild dissipation;
they are not toying with the festive
poker chip nor idling where the little
ball rolls in the wheel. Neither are
they looking upon the wine when it is
red the beer when it is brown, nor
the foxy fizz when it is on the ram.
page. Likewise these two dozen birds
of the night do not mingle in forbid
den company, preferring to all others
that which they themselves may fur
nish. @.1
For the two dozen who stay out al
night do not do so from any tendency
toward the things which are not reck-
oned as promoters of good order If
society, but simply because, thru ex
perience, they have seen the wisdom
of becoming members Of the fresh all
society and are now getting the saiC
fresh air in large inhalations.
Sleeping out doors in the winter
time is not so bad" said one young
Minneapolitan who returned last June
from four years spent at Santa F'e
because of threatened lung. trouble

''Since my return to this country
have been sleeping out on the verandt
and do not notice any special incon
venience from SO doing. I have plent.
of clothing over me and wear a cal
over my ears, but that is all there i
to it. 1t is much like sleeping in I
room with the windows open."
This young man, who was a gradu

NEED NOT BE BORED
Dr.. Burton Says That Only Literature
Which Gives Us Pleasure Can
BE of Real Benefit. ------

Literature as Amusement the topic
of DR.. Richard Burtons second address
in his Minneapolis course, draw much
larger audience to the Unitarian church
Saturday evening than heard the opening
lecture. The Saturday evening lecture was
a success in another way. DR.. Burton
seemed more himself. and conveyed more
of his peculiar quality of inspiration to
his hearers.
He spoke of the old exploded notions
that the things which give us pleasure
are wrong, and because literature is not
solid it should not be INDUCED in. He
contended that the only true benefit we
receive from literature comes along with
pleasure, and as long as literature gives
innocent pleasure it is for good. It is q
recreation, making over minds tired with
business cares. 1t recalls our "childlike-
ness" and furnishes illusions which up
lift us. He cited several masters whose
work produces these illusions. among them
Homer, Dante, Goethe. Hugo, Scott
George Meredith. lola and Du Maurier ir
'Trilby'' OF lola, he said that while
claiming to be a realist, he was a roman
! ticist in disguise, and his best work has
an epical significance, producing the ilu-
| sion Of masses of men.
DR.. Burton undertook briefly to analyze
the distinctive quality that marks Amer
| lean humor. It's peculiar features he con
| sidered to be certain kind Of under
statement and kind of indirection which
the nimble American mind takes keer
| pleasure in solving.

SEA FOOD FAMINE
SEEMS PROBABLE
LENTEN DEMAND AND SHORT
SUPPLY ARE FACTORS.
HOLSTERS Advance Fifty Per Cent
While Fish and Oysters Are Well
Up-The East Is Drawing on Wes-
tern Supplies of Fish, Which Are
Already Heavily Depleted.

( Extremely cold weather in connec-
ton with the Lenten season and the
high price of meat, poultry and eggs
have brought about a condition which
may lead to fish and oyster famine
in "a short time. Turnout the east all
kinds of fish, oysters and shell fish
have gone up to the highest price
known in years. Such a condition may
occur in Minneapolis within a short
few days.
The eastern fishing fleets have been
weather bound for weeks and the oys-
ter beds are covered by ice. The sup
ply of both fish and oysters is limited
and oyster prices have advanced ma
terially. HOLSTERS which usually re-
tail locally for 80 cents per- pound
have advanced to 4 5 cents, but while
oyster prices have advanced 25 per
cent in the east, the local advance has
been under 10 per cent. The local
supply Of fish comes from the Cana
dian lakes, but the cutting short of the
supply of sea fish has increased the
eastern demand for lake fish until the
stocks are almost depleted. The twin
city supply of fish which was placed in
cold storage will not prove adequate,
it is thought, to the demond. The cold
weather of the past week has been
favorable for the handling of fish and
this fact kept the price down. Prices
are certain to rise in a short time. The
salmon, halibut and whitefish stocks
dealers say, will be completely ex-
hausted before the end Of Lent.
In speaking of the oyster supply l.
B. Keller of the Baltimore Packing
company said: "All oyster producing
districts have discontinued quoting
prices. Twin, .citN0 jobbers have only
had one-third of the usual supply fol
the last ten days. Prices have adj
vanced over 40 per cent in the east
but this advance has not reached here
as yet. d THERE'S every prospect of MOI

RADIUM ON EXHIBITION
REGAL SHOE COMPANY DISPLAYS
A TUBE OF THE COSTLY AND
WONDERFUL SUBSTANCE IN ITS
WINDOWS.

There is on exhibition at the Regal
shoe store a small tube of the mar
velOus mineral radium. This little
tube is only about an inch long and is
placed in a handsome jewel box. An
announcement on a card says that it is
worth SS,OOOOOO a pound. This is at
the rate of $4,000 a gramme.
The specimen of radium exhibited
was imported for the Regal Shoe COM
pany from the Paris laboratory Of
Nine. Sklodowska Curie, the dis
coverer of radium.
Nine. Curie has risen from an
unknown investigating chemist to the
position Of the highest rank in chemis-
try in the short period of two years.
This achievement has romantic as we'll
as scientific interest, as she married
| her teacher in the Paris Ecole, M.
Curie who was a professor Of chem
istry.
Radium possesses the remarkable
power of giving off light, heat and
Electricity without any diminution of
| it's own energy or weight. This great
discovery led to the belief that the
atomic theory of chemistry was an
error, as the atoms of radium seemed
to break up into a large number of
-smaller particles, whereas it had al
ways been assumed in chemistry that
the atom was the smallest particle of
matter. ~ 49,.
There are also exhibited with the
radium a photograph. of a lion which
was taken by the light given off by a
