YELLOW FEVER HAS
MADE ITS APPEARANCE
One Case Reported at Mississip.
pi River Quarantine Station.
NO EPIDEMIC is AS YET FEARED

Year, Came from Havana on the
Steamer HoIstein, the Patient Be-
Ing Cuban Sailor.
New Orleans, June 25.-One case of
yellow fever was reported Sunday at
the Mississippi river quarantine sta
ton, 81 miles below New Orleans.
This is the first case of yellow fever
reported in Louisiana this year by the
state board of health. The patient is
Cuban sailor who arrived at quaran.
tine on June 18th on the steamer Hol-
stein from Havana. His tempera-
ture being above normal, he was tax
en- off the steamer and detained for
observations. Saturday night during
an official visit of inspection of mem
Ders OF the state board of health and
the Louisiana legislature to the quar-
antine station, consultation of ply
sicians decided that case is yellow few
er. The HolStein is still detained at
quarantine, having been disinfested af-
ter the sailor was taken off and or
dered to be at anchor for six days be-
fore proceeding to New Orleans. No
other cases of elevated temperature
have yet appeared on the Holstein.
DR.. c. H. Irion, president of the
state board of health, said to the in
specting party that he does not be-
heve that yellow fever is epidemic at
New Orleans or In Louisiana. He
held that developments so far this
year In which no cases of yellow fe-
yer have been found by the board in
the state, except the one brought here
from Havana, and reported Sunday in
dicates that the disease does not or
iginate here.
He said that so long as present
quarantine regulations are maintain
ed in Louisiana he believes there will
never be another epidemic of yellow
fever hre. At present five quaran-
tine stations are operated by the state
along the gulf of Mexico coast.
The existence of yellow fever at Rio
Janeiro and also of two cases of bu-
bonic plague at that port, were report
ed to the state board by officers of
the steamer SalIust, arriving here on
Sunday. The Sallust was disinfeccted
at quarantine both for the fever and
the bubonic plague, although none
of the steamers crew had been allow
ed ashore at Rio Janeiro.

That our American forests abound in
plants which possess the most valuable
medicinal virtues is abundantly attested
by scores of the most eminent medical
writers and teachers. Even the untu-
tored Indians had discovered the useful
ness of many native plants before the
advent of the white race. This informa-
tion, impaired freely to the whites, led
the latter to continue Investigations until
to-day we have a rich assortment of most
valuable American medicinal roots.

MRS. smIrHERs TAKES AUTOMOBILE RIDE.
Short Tour Of Aged Smyrna Woman Recalls
the Many Changes That Have Taken Place.

CHEswoLD, Aug. 7:-Tuesday after
noon of last week Mrs Elizabeth
Smithers, who is in her 87th year, ac-
cepted of Mr.. J. H. Bishop, her SON.
in-law, whom she was visiting, his offer
of spin in his automobile. They went to
Kenton, distance of four miles where
Mrs. Smithers paid visit to Mrs.
Hester NOVEL; of that town, and re
turning, stopped for chat at the gate
of Mr.. and Mrs. w. G. Savin, complet-
ing the trip in just one hour. That
one, who has arrived at Mrs. Smithers
age should enjoy such an experience
is indeed remarkable. Mrs. Smithers
commenced life at time when such a
journey could have been made only on
foot or horseback. At the close of her
girlhood days the gig, she says mar

drawn by horse in shafts came about
which was at that time as much a won

through life she has in the home seen
the stove come to take the place of the
open fireplace with its swinging crane
laden pots, and the Johnny-cake is
superseded by the oven loaf of wheat
bread. Also the pump has taken the
place of the open well and sweep, and
now for the water the housewife has
only to turn on her heel to reach the
spigot, and strike match to light the
gasoline stove. The sewing machine
has also superseded the spinning
wheel and loom, the slow and labor
ious process by which whole families
were clothed in her young days. An(
petroleum, then gas and now electric
lights have superseded the tedious anC
tiresome tallow dip in our homes, o
