PRIESTS FIGHT
THE YELLOW
FEVER
They Do Fine Work in New Orleans
In Educating People on Pro-
faction Measures.

! The Catholic Citizen OF Sept y, pup
/ lished at Milwaukee, Wis, contains
the following:
/ Speaking at a mass meeting held ID
/ New Orleans on Saturday last to dis
cuss the yellow fever situation, Rev,
Albert Biever, 81, cOEEessor to tie
/ late Archbishop Chapc4ie, said thac II
| the Catholic priests mad not appeared
on the lecture platform IN the cam
paIgn of educating the people 70 the
lew doctrine of fever transmission By
mosquitoes, It was because they had
their duties to perform IN going TO the
homes of the striker ones, preparing
the dying, comforting me living and
helping the poor and needy. The
graves of the Southland are dotted
with the tOnbs OF young and heroic
priests who have laid down their lives
IN the fulfllment OF their duties.
Father Biever said that Catholic
priests were among the first to sup
port the theory of transmission Of vel
low fever by mosquitoes. In 1863 an
English jesuit wrote from Honduras
that upon accurate and serious obser-
Walton he had come to the conclusion
that "the sickness" (meaning yellow
fevar) was transmitted by the bites Of
a mosquito In Havana Jesuit priests
submitted Themselves to the bites Of
mosquitoes to aid in the researches Of
the scientists. At Tulane Hall, in
New Orleans, long before this theory
was agitateQ there, a Jesuit priest
lectured on insect life before an audi
ence Of 1900 people, and gave illus
trations on the screen of the ampheles
and stegomyia mosquitoes.
The first lantern slides for Dr. Quit
man KOhnKe's illustrated lecture were
made by a Jesuit father, and the first
invitation received by DR.. KOhnke TO
deliver his now famous lecture was
extended to him by Jesuit fathers;
and the first illustrated lecture givet
in New Orleans on the mosquitoes
and the transmission Of yellow fever
and the first illustrated lecture given
in the Jesuits' hail, on Baronne street.
If the warning that was sent out to
the city on that memorable evening
had been needed, New Orleans would
perhaps never have seen the trying
times through which It is passing
now.
Father Biever gave several facts If
support Of the theory that yelloy
fever is not a contagious disease. He
concluded as follows
Many priests in the old times Of
malignant yellow fever noticed that
the use Of tobacco proved a protection
against yellow fever, and they indulg
ed freely in the weed. How rational
in the light Of the mosquito theory.
this otherwise futile precaution.
know of hundreds of this city who
wear around their necks little bags Of
strong camphor, and believe thus to
stave away the infection. It is indeed
the mosquitoes that keep away, for
they, like all insects that possess the
sense Of smell, are repealed by the
odOr OF camphOr."

NORTHERN FIRM

Into HySteria Over Yellow
Fever Situation.

The following letter received by {;
business man Of Pensacola but con
firms what The Journal has recently
said concerning the way yellow fevei
is now regarded by all people who
have taken time to study the manner
of it transmission and the means by
which medical science and modern
sanitation are able to control it. Com
ing from a northen business firm and
rejecting. as 1t does, the sentiment ia
reference to yellow fever in that sec.
ton of the country, the letter is from
a business standpoint, one Of consider
able reinsurance.
The letter follows:

that you will have the best business

have had in years. We think the gu
look for trade South is promising.
We do not believe that the yellow

prisea' that in the present day of san
itauon there should be as much alarm
as there IS As far as we can learn
there have not been a score of deaths
in the whole South of people who take
care Of themselves and live under

POWDERED TEA.
II Is ScId to Make n Better Infusion
Than the whole Leaves.

Than the whole Leaves.
An English traveller says in a letter
to the London Times: History tells
us that when coffee was first brought
to the cities Of western Europe the first
makers Of It were Turks. They roast
ed and ground the berries and served
the LIQUOR, as il is served to this day
in the east. grits and all. We still
drink coffee as we drank II then, with
this dihPerence-that we mostly omit
the grits and drink an infusion instead
Of a decoction. It was not so with tea
No Chlnaman was imported with the
first pound Of tea to teach us how to
make and drink 1t. The consequence
has been that we have never drunk
tea in the Chinese way-that is, as
simple infusion.
"At first there seems to have been
great doubt as to how to deal with
the new herb. It is even said that it
was sometimes boiled with salt and
butter and served up as a sort Of
spinach. The old phrase "A dish Of tea
seems to bear out this legend. Finally
it came to be settled that the most
wholesome and pleasant way to treat
the tea leaf was to make ii into a kind
Of sweet soup with sugar and milk or
cream. I have personal knowledge Of
no country in Europe but one where
tea is used as in China-POrtugal
which got its knowledge Of teamaking
from a province of China with which
at this time no other nation OF Europe
was in contact.
'It was while travelling on horseback
with a guide in the wilder parts OF
Portugal, away from shops and inns,
where we had perforce to make expert
ments in the most economical use OF
the few ounces Of tea and coffee that
We could afford to carry with US, that
we hit upon a discovery. Having no
milk, we drank our tea, as most Por-
tugese drink theirs, as a simple infu-
sion, sweetened with sugar.
Il remembered TO have read, I be-
lleve in the travels Of the Able Hue,
that when the Chinese desire to be
thrifty in the use Of the finer and
more expensive teas they grind tie
leaf TO powder and use less for the in
fusion. We found that tea could be
ground in q coffee mill as easily as
coffee, that tea made with the powder
is as good as or better than when made
with the whole leaf and that tb" pow
der. naturally, goes further than the
tea leaf"
