If this city were to be well organized into socic-

Streets would be brought to grade, sidewalks

SeasOnable Advice.

DR.. Quitman Kohnke, President
of the Board of Health of New
Orleans, gives the following time
ly advice concerning yellow1ever
The spread of yellow fever is
easily controlled by the applica-
tion of very simple rules.
Yellow fever is transmitted from
person to person by the bite of a
stegomyia mosquito - the kind
whose breeding places are cis-
terms, water barrels and similar
collections of water. The stego-
myia mosquito bites in the day
time usually, seldom at night.
1t is important to know the
conditions under which these
mosquitoes transmit the disease
so that measures of prevention
may be intelIigently operated.
Mosquitoes, in order to become
infectious, must bite a patient
during the first three days of the
fever, and then ten days must
elapse before it is capable of
transmitting the disease.
Mosquitoes are, therefore, not
dangerous before the tenth day
after biting the sick, and the pa
tient is not dangerous after the
third day of fever.
Protect from mosquitoes, day
and night, all cases of fever for
three days, and then destroy be-
fore the tenth day, after the be-
ginning of the illness, the mos
quitoes that are in the room.
Whenever yellow fever spreads
from person to person, it is be-
cause these preventive measures
have not been carried out.
The rules laid down by the high.
est medical authority for stamp
ing out the yellow fever in New
Orleans are very simple, viz:
First-To keep empty all unused receptacles
of water in every house, and allow no stagnan
water on any premises.
second-To screen all cisterns after placing
small quantity Of insurance oil Ia teacupful ii
each cistern) on the surface of the water.
Third-TO place small quantity OF insur
ance oil in cesspools or privy vaults:
Fourth-Sleep under mosquito nets.
Fifth-Wherever practicable, screen door
| and windows with wire screens OF close lnesl

Sewerage and Drainage.

Mr.. EDITOR What is the mat
ter with your town papers and
your town leaders? The greatest
issue ever brought up in your
town for the health and general
welfare of your people seems to
be drifting, when your leaders
and your papers should be ex-
planning it to the poor people.
Upon inquiry [ find the follow
ing gentlemen in favor of it:
E. M. Boagni, J. P. Boagni, DR..

Ike Roos, R. Lee Garland, H. E.

B. A. Littell, L. A. Sandoz, your
honorable self, and a host of 9th
ers, all big property owners, ex-
cept a few who possess influence
instead. On the opposing side
the greatest opposition | find is
Hon. Homer Ventre. He occu-
pies a conspicuous position in the
gift of the people, and no doubt
if he is asked by the people not to
bring his influence to bear against
their wishes, as an ever ready to
please gentleman he will consent.
Your town could not do a greater
good to its people than to remove
the 5000 privies that impregnate
the atmosphere with impure air,
remove the upper ground cisterns
or tubes that hold the impure,
stagnant water that absorbs great
amount Of the noxious gasses that
arise from privies and hog pens.
and drink pure water from the
rock beds and lay the dust that is
costing your people not less than
100000 per annum. Sewerage
and drainage is the issue first

There is no lameness in the
proposition to require the voter
to record his party affiliations
when he registers. By this ap-
parently simple means it will be-
come as easy as rolling off a log
to find out how many qualified
Democrats, Republicans, or men
who want to keep their politics
to themselves, there are in every
ward and parish in the State:
This information will help to
find out the places where fine
work will do the most good. and
who to work on or coerce into line
with threats of loss Of employ
ment, business, ETC., just as it is
done in some Northern States
that have been made unalterably
Republican by this device, which
it is proposed to import and in,
oculate into Louisiana politics.

OPELOUSAS.

Dear Sir: A painter complained
that our cans are too full; un-
handy; spill.
It's way we have; tits handler
not to be full; but we have a
weakness for full-measure. Our
gallon contains eight pints; the
usual "gallon" is seven.
Well think it over again; but
we like full can. How much
short would you like barrel?
Seven gallons would he the pro-
portion.
Short-measure suggests that the
shortage is probably not IN the
cheapest ingredient.
Guess we'll stick to four quarts
to a gallon, and fifty gallons a
barrel.

pie. White Supremacy is fully
intrenched, and there is no dan

ton. What the people want is
law which will secure to them
honest and fair elections, where
