To Control the Spread Of
I Yellow Fever.

DR.. Qultman Kohnke, Health
Officer Of New Orleans, publishes
the following in regard to the
spread of yellow fever:
The spread of yellow fever il
easily controlled by the applica'
ton of very simple rules.
Whether or not New Orleans
will be rid of yellow fever at an
early date depends in very large
measure on the degree of assist.
ance each householder is willing to
contribute to the work of eradica-
ton.
Yellow fever Is transmitted
from person to person by the
bite of a Stegomyla mosquito
the kind whose breeding places
are clsterns, water barrels and
similar collections of water. The
Stegomyis mosquito bites IN the
day time usually; seldom at night.
1t is important to know the con-
ditlons nnder which these mosque
toes transmit the disease so that
the measures OF prevention may be
intelligently operated. Mosquitoes,
in order to become Infectious,
must bite patient during the first
three days of the fever, and then
ten days must elapse before 1t is
capable of transmitting the di.
sease.
Mosquitoes are, therefore, moi
dangerous before the tenth day at
ter biting the sick, and the patient
Is not dangerous after the third
day Of fever.
Protect from mosquitoes. day
and night, all cases of fever fol
three days, and then destroy be
fore the tenth day after the begin
ming OF the illness the mosquitoes
that are in the room.
Whenever yellow fever spreads
from person 10 person it Is because
these preventive measures have
not been carried out.

Healthy Louisiana.

In regard to the healthfulness
of Louisiana, DR.. J. G. Eagan,
health officer of Shreveport, fur.
nlshes the following valuable in
formation:
''Louisiana's death per centage
among old people places her pos
slbllities for long life second in all
of the States in the Union, Ver-
mont being first. Her position as
regards the lowest death rate from
consumption, a disease very de-
pendent upon climatic conditions,
is fifth of all the States in the
Union, and her low per centage OF
deaths of children places her above
any of the other Southern
States. Relatively considered
with her ncighbors, as regards
mortality from. malarial fever,
she is healthier than Alabama.
Arkansas, Mississippi or Florida
and co equal with Texas. The
average mortality for whole United
States l4.70 per thousand fol
whites and II 80 PEI thousand fol
blacks. Vermont has a white
mortality of 1914 per thousand
Tennessee 1921 per thousand,
Louisiana 1854 per thousand, In
diana 1888 per thousand ane
Texas 1886 per thousand"
DR.. Ea1an adds that there are
many persons to be found il
Louisiana over eighty years of age
and quite a number who have
passed the ninety year mark.

The Louisiana State
University

1t is always gratifying to be able
to endorse home institutions, not
simply on account of patriotic
duty, but because OF the real worth
of the institutions themselves. 1t
/ is very pleasant to feel that your
own State institutions are equal TO
those Of neighboring States; and
this is the way we feel about the
State University at Baton Rouge.
We teel that it Ii the equal of any
State University in the South, and
we are proud 10 call Its advantages
to the attention Of our readers who
have sons to educate.
1t has ten courses of study, each
specially designed to train young
men to do something. If your son
intends to be q farmer, planter or
stockman, send him to L. S. u. to
take the Agricultural OF the Sugar
Course; ifs he wants to be q me-
chanic, architect or engineer, let
him take tho Mechanical Engineer
ing, the Civil Engineering or the
Electrical Engineering Course; II
his tastes lead him to scientific pur-
suits, he has he Latin Science and
the General Science Courses to
choose between; and If he has q
special aptitude for business, the
Commercial Course is the thing
for him; if he wishes to be, q ply
stefan, let hlm take the Pre.medi-
cal Course; and finally, If he feels
called to be q lawyer, preacher,
teacher, or editor. he will find ex-
actly the training he needs IN the
Literary Course. The Louisiana
State University is pre.em.neDtly
the school for Louisiana boys, and
for all other boys who want to get
full face value for every dollar of
their money.
