It was only a moment past ten
o'clock when General Garden walked
briskly up the marble steps and en-
tered the Morris building. He stopped
at the outer railing and addressed
Mr.. Mason, the Vice-President of the
company.

"Yes?" Mr.. Mason raised his eyes

SANITATION OF CANAL ZONE.
Necessity of Work as Part Of the
Task We Have Undertaken,

But what about the two great 18th.
milan diseases, malaria and yellow
fever? Practically every other disease
can be obliterated by the supply of
pure water and the simple obedience
to hygienic rules; but these are of a
different nature and demand more
radical attacks, says DR. Albert r..
Hall in Reader Magazine. They are
both parasitic in nature: both before
they invade man, must pass through
an intermediate host, and that host is
the mosquito, stegomyia for yellow
fever, and anopheles for malaria. One
should no longer doubt the essentially
important role of the mosquito. To.
day all scientists agree that to exter-
inmate the mosquito is to destroy
these diseases; that no other means
excepting this insect has been demon
strated as carrier of either. Cling to
old beliefs as we may, we can render
the country free from epidemics only
by killing the host. And it can be
done here in Panama It has been
done in Ismalia on the Suez canal
1t has been done-to be sure, In more
favorable circumstances and a smaller
area-in Havana. We must do it. II
will be an eternal disgrace to our gov.
eminent If we shirk our responsibility.
for it is as much a part of our canal
project as is digging the ditch. We
are not a commercial concern, cutting
highway between two oceans merely
for profit. If we are, better let out
the task by contract at once. But we
are a nation, the people of that nation
pay the taxes that supply the money
for canal construction. and we should
demand that this sanitary scheme be
an integral part But 1t means work.
To take a strip of land ten miles
wide and fifty long and to free 1t from
mosquitoes means brains as well as
kerosene, and money to back the
brains. II means destruction of nasty
houses in Panama and Colon and the
filing in of Shiny pools which to-day
render futile so much of the effort
of dislnfection. II means action as we
acted in Cuba, as Mexico acted at Ma
zatlan, as Japan acts to-day. There
must be no short-sighted policy or
broken promises about 1t. The en-
ployes must be projected at any cost.
