The Atlanta Journal has sent a spe-
cial correspondent to the city Of New
Orleans and his letters to his paper
are very interesting indeed. We take
the liberty Of reproducing some Of his
letters for the benefit OF our reader.
NEW ORLEANS, July 3I.-Dur
ing the last two days | have been in
the French quarter, where the yellow
fever is raging the hercest
have made with the doctors III
their house to house tours Of inspec-
tion and with the nurses i'll the yell

up by the authorities against the
threatened epidemic, and I was able
to invade the danger zones because l
am an immune.
found that the routine for hunting
out yellow fever cases has been re-
duced to science, The city has pop
ulation of $4,000 inhabitants and is
divided into small districts of four
squares each. An inspector appoint
ed by the city board of health makes
a house-to-house inspection every "a
hours -
- ~.----s--
All suspicious cases are immediate
ly reported, and in fact all cases of
illness, that they may be investigated
if for no other reason. All physicians
in the city, of whichsthe city is excep-
tionally we'll supplied, also agreed to
report Immediately each and every
case to the city board
The inspectors are made UP of med
ical students and those who have had
the greatest amount OF experience
with yellow fever during former epi-
denies, the last of which began iiere
in 1907.
As soon as a case is reported UNI
dersaspicion, if that patient lives in
his own home andthat home Is ii
good sanitary condition his bed is inn
mediately inclosed with the finest Of
mosquito netting.
As most beds here are already thus
guarded for the ordinary convenience
of sleepers, this is no an Innovation,
Any traveller familiar with New Or
leans will remember the high bed
posts and the mosquito bars which are
carefully drawn every night. Within
recent years a great many of the bet
ter class Of residences are screened
against the mosquito with copper
wire.
As there are practically no house
flies here. the screens are put tip es-
pecally to guard against mosquitoes.
Many porches are screened in to al
low The citizens and their families tc
breathe during the evening.
Every reputable physician in New
Orleans, with the exception OF very
few, has accepted the mosquito the
ory that is, that yellow fever is trans
mitted only by the mo 9''ito, and By
but one species at that-the steago
myia fasciata. as the scientists say
! This is the mosquito with stripes
bodv like tiger, and Only the female
are said TO bite.
The Greenville times. [volume] (Greenville, Miss.) 1868-1917, 1905-08-05


The sentiment that prevailed was
Greenville may not get the yellow
fever, but unless they left now and
it should get nearer It would be di1-
ficGlt to get out OF the state owing
70 the strict quarantine now on.
The reported fever at Lake Provi-
dence gave the city the most uneasin.
ess and more guards were stationed
along the levees to prevent anyone
from entering the state from Arkan-
sas or Louisiana
The fever reports and strict quaran-
tine have killed business in the city
and every merchant who has his
doors open losing money.
Every road entering the city and
the entire river front is being closely
guarded day and night by the mem
bers of the local state guards under
Capt. Whitney and force of 100 vol
unteers under Messrs. Henry Starting
and S. Allen. City Clerk Lee, Assis-
tant Clerk Abercrombie and the COM
mite of five are kept busy issuing
permits for those who have to come
in and go out of the city.

Good Bread For pyspeptics.

Pulled bread is served at several Of
the best restaurants, and it is not only
palatable, but much better for people
inclined to be fat or dyspeptie than or
binary bread. When kneading the
bread for baking do it in such a way
that the grain will be lengthwise Of the
loaf. When baked and before it is
cold remove the crust, pull the loaf
into halves and again into quarters
lengthwise of the loaf. Keep dividing
1t until the bread is Of the desired
shape; it is usually in long pieces about
two inches in circumference. Place
the pieces on a rack, put in pan and
dry out the moisture in slow oven
and color light brown.

No More stomach Troubles.

All stomach trouble is removed by the use
of Kodol Dyspepsia Cure. 1t gives the stom-
ach perfect rest by digesting what you eat
without the siomacll's aid. The food builds
up the body, the rest restores the stomach to
health. You don't have to diet yourself when
taking Kodol Dyspepsia Cure. I'D. Erskine,
of Allenville, Mich, says, 81 suffered Heart
burn and Stomach trouble for some time.
My sister-in-law has had the same trouble
and was not able to eat for six weeks. She
lived entirely on warm water. After taking
two bottles of Kodol Dyspepsia Cure she was
entirely cured. She now eats heartily and is
in good health. am glad to say Kodol gave
me instant relief" Sold by all druggists.
