ana, after $50 years Of annual Wis.,
itatioD, free from the disease.
Laredo, Texas, treated be men be
lieving in the mosquito theory,
and treated accordingly, with only
about 10 per cent of the popula-
tion attacked by the disease, con-
trasted with Laredo, Mexico; just
across the river, disbelieving the
theory, 80 per cent of the people
we're attacked.
Suppose that case Of yellow
fever should appear in Pittsburg,
what would be the probability OF
an epidem;cg
"There could be no epidemic.
There would not be more than
one case. The stegomyia mos
quito does not live there. The
one case, imported, of course,
would be the only one.
''The stcgomyia does not live
north of Mason s. Dixon's line.
He does net live in all the terri
tory south Of it. The mountains
of North Carolina are too cold
for him. Before we knew any
thing about the work Of that pest,
observation taught us that the
country was divided into two(
parts the infected territory and
the n-infectible. After we got
to know about the stegomia we
found that the limits of bis hab;-
tat we're co-extensive with the
limits of the infectible domain.
Such confederation Of evidence
in . murder trial would hang the
accused
Next to killing the mosquito
by making it impossible for him
to breed what is the best preven- !
tive?n
''The screening Of every person
with q fever for foHr days. yell
low fever is hard to dianose. IT
begins like many other fevers.
Screening patient so that mos
quitoes cannot get at him will not,
hurt him even if the illness
proves to be TYPHOID, pneumonia
or any other disease that is not so
dreaded as yellow fever.
Screening during the first four
days makes it impossible for the
insect to become infected from
the patient. Three days is the
time in which . mosquito can get
the poison from a human being,
but four makes assurance doubly
sure.
after . mosquito has taken
the blood from a patient who has
had yellow fever for not more
than threeA days it takes twelve
days for the insect to become a
source of infection. So you can
see that If the first yellow fever
case is caught in time the cam
paign against the mosquitoes will
be bent fetal if it is vigorously
prosecuted during the next nine
or ten days. After that if the in
sect that bio the patient is still at
large the chances of injection are
very numerous. 1t takes five
days for the poison deposited In
q human body BY mosquito to
develop. Hence five day deten~
tion.
sOther work Of prevention is
the screening of cisterns. Cls-
terms are the favorite breeding
places for mosquitoes. Ofcourse,

Benjamin.
Benjamin, the prophet. is a man OF
about 46 years of age. He was born in
Kentucky, but since his early childhood
he has peer a wanderer. He has visited
nearly every state in the union in his
travels. He was converted to the new
religion about IA years ago and since
that time has been preaching its doc
trines. For a number of years he was
in Ohio. He came here two years ago
with his wife. Mary, who was also born
in Kentucky, and she shares with her
husband the duties of leader Of the
House of Israel.
Benjamin is of medium height. rather
slenderly built and has an extremely
fine face. His hair is of light reddish
brown and hangs down on his shoulders
in long silken curls. His beard is silken
and curly and his features are a-luiline
and well formed. His complexion is
clear, pink and white, and his eyes are
blue and clear. His manner is gentle
and well bred. His hands are white.
Every movement is as of a man at peace

out upon the earth IN a short time and
they look for moodshed. for disaster and
for all manner OF evil Immediately be-
fore the ushering in of the thousand
years of peace. II is asserted that those
gathered in Benton Harbor will escape
all the trouble and wrath and will come
out unscathed from the fiery trials to
be given the remainder of the earth.
The new city-destined. they say, to
be the capital of the worlds to be gov
erned by the son of nan; or. in other
words. by Benjamin. He is to be the
head of the city and he is to have four
pillars to assist him. Besides these
four. there will be II kings, "a elders and
40 preachers. 1t will be the duty of the
latter to go through all the world and to
tell the people what is to come. 1t was
announced that they would not be sent
out until they receive the power from on
high, as Christ is said to have received
it. and then when they went they would
be able to perform miracles and convert
the people rapidly. They are out now
over all the land, but it has not been
heralded abroad that they have per-
formed any miracles.
Benjamin says that a time will come
when there will be a second %Dentecost.
The Holy Ghost will descend upon the
people as upon Christ at the River Jor-
dan. and. instead of blood in their veins.
