A New Corn, But Old.

While digging in one Of the forts
of the mound builders, thought to be
as old as the Pyramids, farmer liv-
ing near Memphis Tenn., found an
earthen vessel containing part Of an
ear of corn. He planted few of the
grains this year, and, in spite of their
great age, they sprouted and bore.
The yieldswas sparse, the grains small
and sooty, almost black, but very
hard and Of a shape never before
seen iu the Mississippi valley. Great
interest has been aroused over the
strange crop.

DR.. Hunter on "Frenzied Quarantine. !"

"The people of the South must
be awakened to the fact that yel,
low fever can be controlled" says
Secretary Hunter of the Missis-
sippi State Board of Health, "and
that there is no sense or reason on
earth for a town shutting itself up
tightly merely because some other
town in contiguous territory is
battling with the disease. Some
of the restriction that have been
applied are worse than barbarism.
II the people will put their faith
in the men who have made a study
of yellow fever and the modern
methods of handling infection the
future appearance of yellow fever
in the South will not result in a
reign Of terror, and the stamping
out of the infection can be more
easily accomplished. We have
learned some valuable lessons this
year and should profit by the ex-
perience.o
DR.. Hunters views express the
sentiment of every person who has
given the problem Of yellow fever
quarantines and the mosquito law
the intelligent consideration such
important subjects deserve. Al
most to a unit the press of the
South is in favor of National con-
troll of quarantine and have accept
ed the mosquito as the only agent
of yellow fever transmission.
With a known and visible enemy
to fight, the problem is simplified
and with the cooperation Of the
people Of the South given the IN
tied States Marine Hospital Ser
vice, the barbarous shotgunsquar-
antines will become relics Of the
past.
