THE YELLOW PERIL.

We have another yellow peril co; :
fronting us in this country at tt e
present time in the shape of t. e
fever which is raging z lin New
Orleans at the present time. How
serious the situation is can not lie
actually known but it is certain
that a number of deaths have re :
suited and that the disease is not
under control despite great efforts
on the part of the authorities who
are doing their utmost to stamp out
the fever. The city-i is quarantined
against all except narrow strip of
territory within the state of Louie-
lana and while interstate travel
has not been restrained by law the
city will be Stunned by first class
passengers until the plague has
been eradicated. 1t is also reported
that well-to-do residents of the city
are leaving by every train.
The importation of fruit, especial
ly bananas from Central and South
America has been responsible at
many times in the past for the in
PRODUCTION of yellow fever into this
country. The disease is epidemic
in some one of the Republics to the
south at all times and fruit carries
the germs it is said. Vessels leaving
Southern ports frequently carry
passengers in whose bodies are fever
germs which later develop, in some
c Uses after arrival in America. The
disease can be easily overcome in
any city in which the laws of SAINT
ation are sproperly observed. This
has been shown in Havana which
was cleaned up by the U. S. govern
ment under General Wood, and
in which there has not been a case
of yellow fever since.
