X Better Outlook.

The situation at New Orleans, says the Commercial-Appeal of Wednesday, is distinctly more en- couraging. Of course the officers of the United States are not more competent than the physicians of New Orleans, but they arc better equipped for fighting the disease, and will be less hampered in doing so. They have furthermore the ad. vantage of organization. The gov. ernment has been very successful Tn Havana, and has rendered that beautiful city thoroughly sani- tary. We can easily remember the time when the harbor at Havana was sort of cul.de-sae in which all the sewage of the city was col lected. The city was one of ,he most unsanltary in the world. American occupation changed all that. General Ludlow was ap- pointed by President Mckinley military governor of Havana, charged with all that relates 10 the collection and disbursement of the revenues of the port and city, it's police, sanitation and general government" He was pre.emi- nently the man for the place. As has been sad of him, che had to clean and render sanitary a city which for years had been q menace to the health of the Southern ports of the United States and which was at that time in condition worse than had ever before been known" The work done in Ha. vana was much more extensive task than the sanitation of Sanli- ago and 1t was done thoroughly by General Ludlow and his sub. ordinates. Subsequently the ex- termination of the mosquito was undertaken successfully by Major Walter Reed, and Havana was rendered almost immune to yellow fever.
 The United States government ought to be able to accomplish in New Orleans what it accomplished in Havana. From all reports we have received there are localities in New Orleans that are unspeak- ably filthy. The government should see to 1t that these places are cleaned just as Havana was cleaned; and it should lay the foundation for a permanent clean Illness here. The South cannot af- ford to have seaport which is even dirtier than Havana before the hand of renovation took charge of it.
 The disease has been practically confined to New Orleans, and the government ought not only to be able to keep it confined but to eradicate it. We, therefore, say that the situation has been greatly improved and frightened.

Its Practical Value.

Representative yHemenWay, of Iowa,
tells of notable lecture delivered in
a small town of that State by an emf
nent geologist from the East.
At the conclusion of his address the
lecturer remarked to the audience
that he thanked them for their atten-
tion. Il have" said he, @endeaYored
to render these problems, abstruse as
they may appear, and involving in
their solution the best thought, the
closest analysis and the most pro-
found investigation of our ablest sci
entists for many years. have, say,
endeavored to render them compara-
tive.y simple and easily understood in
the light of modern knowledge. And
now, ladies and gentlemen, before
leaving the platform shall be glad to
answer any questions that may occur
to you as to points that may appear
to need clearing up, or as to those
points that may have bene over
looked" /"
After moments silence a tall,
gaunt man, with an anxious, careworn
look, arose. Il should like to put a
question" said he
The lecturer bowed. Il shall be
only too happy to reply to il, sir" said
he.
The tall man cleared his throat,
and then, in q loud voice, said:

favor if you would tell me whether

More than likely you speak the same
words yourself, and no doubt you feel
far from we'll. The cause may be easily
traced to some arrangement of the fe-
male organs which manifests itself in
depression of spirits, reluctance to go
anywhere or do anything, backache,
bearing-down pains, fatulency, nerv-
BUSINESS, sleeplessness, leucorrhea.
These symptoms are but warnings
that there is danger ahead, and unless
needed life of suffering or serious
operation is the inevitable result
The never-failingr remedy for all these
symptoms is Lydia E. Pinkham's Veg
etable Compound.
Miss Kate Mcdonald, of Woodbridge,
N. j., writes!
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:
think that woman naturally dislikeS to
make her troubles known to the public, but
restored health has meant SO much to me that
/ cannot help from telling mine for the sake
of other suffering women.
[" For long time suffered untold agony
with uterine trouble and irregularities,
which made me q physical wreck, and no one
Thought / would recover, but Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound has entirely
cured me, and made me well and stTcng, and

what splendid medicine it is"

HOW COAL NAY BE SAVED.
Good Suggestions for Those Who Have
the Care of Stove or

Every stove and every chimney has
way of its own, and one must know all
about those ways first, writes Isabella
H. Nordick, in Good Housekeeping.
never put poker in the top Of the fire,
but do all my clearing from the bottom.
In the evening, if the furnace fire is poor
tours is hot air furnace), we put on
a little coal, turn on all the drafts,
and when the coal is half burned poke
ashes and cinders out from the bottom
CRATE, thus giving it plenty of air, and
then we put on first a layer of stove coal,
packing it down solid, and top off with
layer of nut coal to fill in the hollows.
Over all we put on thin layer of Gin
ders or ashes, and when the little blue
flames leap merrily through these we
know it is time to shut off the. main
drafts, little later closing them
all for the night You have then good,
clear, solidly packed fire, well banked,
which will last and give warmth all
night. In the morning it may look dead,
but when all the drafts are turned
on in five or ten minutes the furnace is
ready for another feed of black dia-
monds OF course, during the day we do
not bank the fire. tits only in very, very
cold weather that we find it necessary to
attend to the fire in the middle Of the
day; generally mornings and evenings
suffice. My range fire treat about the
same. It is a mistake to use large (egg)
coal, though dealers often urge its use,
for it requires lot Of draft to
keep it alive, and more than half of the
heat is thus lost in the chimney. Use
stove coal, with fine top dressing, and
pack even and solid that Is the most
economical method Iuse much less coal
in preparation than do some Of my
friends.

civilization ever has penetrated there.
The houses are crudely built; the road
ways mere blazes, the post Offices some
times 80 miles apart. Mr.. Brownlow tells
