TIME FOR ACTION.

Now is the time for action, not
words-not for the discussion of
idle theories; but for earnest, con-
ccrted continued work. 1t is time
for organized obedience to the
laws Of hygiene, and an unswerv-
ing carrying out of the directions
given by the president of our local
board Of health. He has estab-
lished an intelligent, reasonable,
and at the same time a most eff
fective quarantine, and if we fol-
low rigidly his wise Instructions
if we work manfully and work to-
gether under his command, the
danger that threate s-the pes
thence that bli ). and kills-that
creates panic, misery, work and
sorrow when it cones, will not
reach US. Do this, and we will be
spared the repetition of the awful
experience of 1898.
Then let us be up and doing.
Oil your cisterns, drain your
yards, fill up and lime all low
places-not to-day but every day
''until the danger is over" Let
every man be his own, not his
neighbours inspector. So when
the agent of the board of health in
spects the homes of each one of US,
he will find clean, orderly and
he althful premises. And the peo-
pie Of Franklin, we are proud to
note, both white and colored, are
doing this-all of this. These
words are not written to incite the
people to commence action; for
they are already acting. There
are no laggards here-but they
are written to encourage them to
continued, persistent, unyielding
action. 1t is by work like this
alone are the safety and health of
the people preserved in times of
great emergency. And we should
understand fully that in the sue
cess of all we'll directed move
ments some must lead and COM
mand. and others must follow and
obey. We, through our laws, have
selected our leaders in the present
crisis. They are able, earnest,
patriotic and forceful men, and
should have the full confidence
and support of all their fellow
citizens. Then let us hesitate
never moment. Let us obey
both in the letter and spirit, the
instructions Of our Mayor and the
President of our Board of Health,
who are, up to now, carrying on a
campaign against the
of the semi tropics.
Do this: and it will not take
prophet to say, that with US, CAN
will be we'll"

Mayor Weaver, of Philadelphia,
has been given valuable help in
his campaign against the grafters
by the United States government.
The war department has assigned
Major Cassuis E. Gillette of the
engineer corps to aid in investi-
eating the filtration-plant con-
tracts. 1t was Major Gillette who
exposed the frauds in building
Savannah harbor and thereby
brought about the punishment of
Captain Oberlin NJ. Carter and the
flight of Green and Gaynor to
Montreal. This indicates that
President Roosevelt is openly
against the Philadelphia and
Pennsylvania machine" and will
not allow Federal patronage used
in the future to bolster up the

Killing Mosquitoes by the rlillion.
The decision of the U. S. War

The decision of the U. S. War
Department to retain the troops
at New Orleans during the present
outbreak of fever is direct and
convincing testimony of the eff
cacy of the mosquito treatment as
applied by the one time dreaded
scourge. The experiments of Sur
geons Reed, Guiteras, Carol, Cor
gas, Carter, Finlay of the U. S.
Marine Hospital and several en-
inent scientists of Central America
have demonstrated beyond the
question of a doubt that to the
agency of the Stegomyia or strip
ed daylight mosquito, breeding in
cisterns and clear stagnant water,
is due the yellow fever. The e'u-
cation of the people of the South
to this fact will speedily remove
the threat of guarantees as at
present carried on and restore the
general confidence in the ability
Of simple methods to stamp out
fever when it is brought into any
of the Southern States. The story
of Major Reeds experiments in
Cuba reads like novel yet these
experiments have convinced med
ical authorities the world over as
to the wonderful truth and COM
plete revolution of the theory and
prevention of yellow fever. Mean
while the authorities, aided by the
citizens are discriminating the
mosquito at New Orleans in
wonderfully rapid manner. The
citizens have organized ward clubs
which report to a central body.
Mosquito determination is being
effected by screening cisterns and
by pouring kerosene oil in all
stagnant pools which destroy the
pests.

The government promises a
"rigid investigation" in the mat
ter of the exploding of the gun
boat Bennington, and incidentally
the killing Of large number OF
sailors. The investigation will do
a lot of good to tie dead men and
their families. The boilers were
known to be in an unsafe condi-
ton, and it looks as if there might
be good grounds for some heavy
damage suits. The government
has no business to take chances
where the lives of citizens of the
United States are endangered,

Wisconsin newspapers are all
sending out 28-page supplements.
Under a new statute, the laws
enacted at each session of the
Legislature are published in every
paper of the State whose publish
er is willing to perform that SER
vice for $500. Few decline, and
thus there goes a copy of the ses-

LII. NkultLudu hOHuke, president
of the board of health of New
Orleans gives the following adj
vice concerning yellow fever:
1.-The spread of yellow fsver is
easily controlled by the applica-
ton 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
cisterns, water barrels and similar
collections of water. The stego-
myia mosquito bites in the day
time usually, seldom at night.
cit is impor ant to know the
conditions under which these
mosquitoes transmit the disease
so that measures of prevention
may be intelligently 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
tran, hitting 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
quitocs 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 stagnant water on any
premises.
Second--To screen all cisterns after
placing small quantity of insurance
oil Ia teacupful in each cistern) on the
surface Of the water.
Third-TO place small quantity of
insurance oil in cesspolls or privy
vaults
Fourth-Sleep under mosquito nets.
Whenever practicable. screen
doors and windows with wire screens
of close mesh.
Speaking of what a newspaper
does for a community, United |
States Senator David Davis, of |
Illinois, made an address that
ever green in the memo
ries of newspaper men. He said:
Every year every local paper
gives from 500 to 5000 free lines
for the benefit of the community
in which it is located. No other
agency can and will do this. The
editor in proportion to his means
does more for his own town than
any other man, he ought to be
supported not because you happen
% like him or admire his writing,
out because a local paper is the
BEST investment community can
make. 1t may not be crowded
With great thought, but financially
t is of more benefit than both the
preacher and teacher. To-day
ditors do more for less pay than
ny man on earth. Patronage your
ONE paper, not as a charity, but
8 an investment"
