Down there on that narrow arch Of
land that keeps apart the waters Of the
two great oceans. the Doctors science is
to count equal with the engineers skill
In truth, the reason we entered with
such high heartedness upon the under
taking Of digging the oft-projected
canal, was because of our present i'm
proved knowledge of sanitation, our
possession to-day Of more effecutal
ounce OF prevention. In the "a years
since hapless De Lesseps made his at
tempt at the isthmus, great discoveries
have been made tending to the proven,
ton of disease. and, as President Roose-
welt recently said in an address before
the Associated Physicians of Long
Island, the condition precedent upon
success in work on the canal is having
the proper type Of medical work as pre-
uminary. ri: q ss.:pa
President Roosevelt recalled to the
minds of his audience the good work
done in Cuba under American admins
tration and American doctors, and gave
q glimpse of the work now in progress
in the canal region. What is being
done in Panama is but a sample of the
things this country has done the last
few years, of the thing in which your
profession has been SO prominenta part.
Take what we did in Cuba, where we
tried the experiment which had not been,
tried for 400 years, of cleaning the
cities. One of the most important items
of the work done by our government in
Cuba was the work of hygiene, the work

SO as to minimize the chance for yellow
fever, so as to do away with as many
as possible of the conditions that told
for disease" :,
Experience shows that the two dis
eases most dreaded at Panama are yel-
low fever and malaria. Cleanliness and
attention to hygiene have stamped out
the first disease in Cuba, and it is
thought that it can be successfully COM
batted on the isthmus. that more real
danger is to be dreaded there from ma
laria- Rainfall being very heavy, the
climate is unhealthful, malaria a dis
ease that poisons the system and saps
the energy. But the sanitary officers
are using every effort to reduce the
dangers from this less-taled of but more
threatening malady.

The pleated skirt has been done to

one with seam in the back and an.

the skirt circular on the sides with q
front gore. We notice a few good
