 An interesting feature of the fight against yellow fever in New Orleans and
 contiguous territory was the theory ad-
 yanced by Dr. Reginald B. Leach of St.
 Paul. who claimed that arsenic taken in
 .o1 grain doses three times day would
 prevent an attack of yellow fever or else render the attack mild. The Minne-

 a test in New Orleans but the medical
 fraternity drowned on him and refused
 to recognize his claims. However the
 people of Louisiana and Mississippi are estimated by, statistics crank to have
 swallowed 36o0O0 arsenic tablets in six
 weeks. It is absurd to put any trust in
 such figures. but they at least show that

 The bears of Mississippi are congratulate
 ing themselves on the fact that President Roosevelt will not tarry in their state on his present trip. They and Senator
 Money and Governor Vardaman seem to be as in this particular. It will be recalled that President Roosevelt deigned to honor the bears of Mississippi by hunting them once upon time. and the
 memory of his presence must be anything
 but pleasant to the bears which have survived
 An acrobat has accomplished the triple somersault and achieved the am mbition of his life. Some men long for wealth, oth- CTS for honor and many for power. but this man is content with having made a triple somersault. He will not again
