Going through the hospitals in our
large cities one is surprised to find such
large proportion of the patients lying
on those snow-white beds women
and girls, who are either awaiting
or recovering from serious opera
tons.
Why should this be the case? Sim
ply because they have neglected them
selves. Ovarian and womb troubles
are certainly on the increase among
the women of this country-they creep
upon them unawares, but every one OF
those patients in the hospital beds had
plenty of warning in that bearing
down feeling, pain at left or right of
the womb, nervous exhaustion, pain in
the small of the back, leucorrhaa, dir
illness, fiatulency, displacements of the
womb or Irregularities. All of these
symptoms are indications of an I'M
healthy condition of the ovaries or
womb, and If not needed the penalty
has to be paid by a dangerous operation.
When these symptoms manifest them
selves, do not drag along until you are
obliged to go to the hospital and sub
nit to an operation - but remember

AN IRRIGATION EXHIBIT.
Oregon Exposition viii Show What
Has Been Done to Redeem
Arid Lands.

Because of the large amount of land
in the Pacific northwest which has
been reclaimed by irrigation, and the
larger amount which is at present
worthless on account of the, lack Of
water supply, the irrigation exhibit at
the Lewis and Clark exposition will
prove unusually interesting, says a
recent account. The exhibit will be
complete, well arranged and instruct
i've, and will prove marvel to east
ern people, who know little of the won
derful results which an artificial wa
ter supply has accomplished in many
western districts.
The exhibit will consist largely of
working models of irrigation projects,
the largest being patterned after the
$3,000,000 plant now being built in
southern Arizona The models will
show the manner of storing the water
by reservoirs, the method of carrying
1t into the lowlands by means of
canals and fumes, and its final distri-
button to the lands to be irrigated,
There will also be models of dams and
reservoirs, and an exhibit of instru-
ments used in determining the
amount of water which may be util-
lied from any given stream.
In addition to these displays, there
will be a practical illustration of irri-
cation methods ON the grounds back
of the government building. on the
peninsula in Guilds lake, where there
will be small farm with crops grow
ing on land actually irrigated.

Golf for Youths.

Sir Hallewell Rogers, a practical
golfer, presiding at the annual meeting
of the Warwickshire County Lawn Ten
mis- association, said it was great mis-
take for young men who had just left
school to begin to play golf. They
should first take up game involving
greater and more invigorating exercise
than golf could provide. Golf was more
a game for old and middle-aged men
than for young men, who should first
try their hand at tennis.-London Daily

FIFTY.FOUR NEW CASES
That Number In New Orleans in The
Past Is Hours.

Although the yellow fever sit.
uation is under better control
than in former epidemics, the dis
ease continues to spread slowly.
There are now several infected
towns in Louisiana, two in Mis-
slsslppi and one Suspicious case in
Arkansas. Of the. two cases re-
ported In Mississippi one at Lum-
berton, is recovering and the
other, at Simrall has just de-
veloped. New Orleans continues
to be the place of most interest to
the anxious public. The record
at that place up to 6 p m. yester-
day Thursday vas as follows:
New cases in past twenty four
hours, 81; Total cases, 423; Total
deaths, 81; New centers of dis
ease. II; Total centers of disease,
65.
Nearly all Mississippi towns
have passed quarantine ordi-
nances against all infected points.
The theory held by practically
all yellow fever experts and many
physicians that the disease cannot
be communicated except by al
certain kind of mosquito, is not
generally accepted by the lay
public, and many towns refuse to
accept mail or any Kind of freight
from New Orleans.
At a regular meeting of the
town council last Tuesday a quar-
antine was declared against New
Orleans and all yellow fever-in-
fected points on the conditions
set forth in an ordinance published
elsewhere in this issue.
All of the physicians of the
town were appointed as board
Of health and empowered to issue
health certificates, which every.
body is required to show before
being allowed to get on or off
rain.
A quarantine of this kind is

SOMETHING OF THE sTEGOMYIA
Eminent Physician Makes interesting Talk
on Yellow Fever Mosquito.

| The following interview from a
marine hospital surgeon, who has
had much experience with yellow
fever, should prove interesting at
this time:
Surgeon Young has participat-
ed in many of the experiments
made by the government in re-
cent years to demonstrate the
correctness of the mosq uito theo-
ry, and after relating to the local
municipal board the history Of
these experiments the mem bers
were thoroughly convinced that
Madam Stagomyia is the guilty
party. Several citizens who were
present when Surgeon Young de-
livered his address, were before.
the body for the purpose Of de-
manding an absolute quarantine,
with guards on all dirt roads, but
changed their minds after hearing
the remarks of the government
expert,
Surgeon Young gave descrip-
ton of the stagomyia mosquito
that will enable any person to
quickly recognize the insect, and
it's of much Importance because
of the fact that very few persons
in the south have studied the
subject sufficiently to be able to
recognize one mosquito from
another. He says the stegomyia
is quite small in size, fragile of
form, and is easily killed. 1t is
much lighter in color than the av-
erage mosquito, and its back is
covered with small white spots,
giving it the appearance Of having
been sprinkled with -four, while
the legs are covered with trans
verse bands of white. clearly de-
fined along the entire length of
the limb.
in discussing the work Of mos
quito determination, Surgeon
Young emphasizes the Importance
If towering with oil all water

stegomyia breeds almost exclu-
'ively in clear water and is rarely
sound in swamps or muddy ponds.
It is essentially house product,
