YELLOW FEVER is WIPEC OUT
Shonts Says Panama Is as Healthy as

Theodore P. Shonts, whose resigna-
ton as chairman of the isthmian canal
commission was announced recently,
says:
From a sanitary point. Panama is
just as good AS any place in the United
States that l can think of. The sep

ROOSEVELT AND FORAKER.
Story Told of Bitter Personalities In
Speeches.

0PcSCHSS'
For the first time perhaps in its
UNIQUE existence at the Gridiron club
dinner Saturday night the best of feel
ing give way, according 10 reports CIR
culated widely today, to bitter person
alities between the president OF the
United States and man who is con-
sidered a presidential possibility, SEN
ator Foraker of Ohio.
Where statesmen and Journalists
get together and talk, half in jest and
half in earnest, about natioral and H.
terpatioual affairs, sometimes things
are said which should not be made
public. and therefore II Is a Well
! known rule of the club that it's pro-
ceedings are as inviOlably sacred us

States senate. But when the annual
dinner at the New Willard broke up
with four courses still nnserved, many
O, the guests fingered downtown dis
cussing affairs. The president, SO gos-
sips say, in mis- usual breezy, direct. I'm
eouivocal manner, was discussing mat
tiers which had been attracting more
or less space in the columns OF the
daily press. AS it happened, his hcmlly
was on the text of brotherly love. His
illustration was the Japanese incident.
The president struck out boldly OH the
Brownville incident after proceeding
to scold California. In security OF tue
secrecy supposedly guaranteed by the
club he talked very plainly" as one
gossip puts 1t.
When he had finished President
Blyth called ON Senator Foraker. The
, senator did not disappoint his audi
. tors. He told tho president, it Is said
. that he had convictions of his own on
I the Brownsville AFFAIR; that ono Negro
did not look like another to him, and
that he considered his senatorial oatf

cath was on Roosevelt. He expressed

err frankness and vigor on the presl

DIR. MCGEE FOR cANTEEN.
Noted Woman Surgeon Points Out a
Lesson in Japan.

Noted Woman Surgeon Points Out a
Lesson in Japan.
Washington, Jan. 28.-The neces-
sity for the restoration of the can
teen in the army is strongly set forth
in letter from DR.. Anita Newcomb
MCGEE to Captain ]. Walter Mitchell
of the Spanish-American War Veter-
ans association. DR.. MCGEE, who
formerly was an assistant surgeon in
the army and later organized a corps
of nurses under the auspices of the
Red Cross society for work among
the Japanese soldiers in the Russo
Japanese war, gives her observations
as to the drink habit among the Japan
ese soldiers, and tells of the evil re-
suits following the adjustment of the
canteen in the United States army.
Conclusions Of Dr.. MCGEE.
DR.. MCGEE says:
Like every one who knows some
thing of the subject. I am heartily in
favor of giving our American soldiers
their club-called a canteen-where
they may enjoy themselves harmless
| ly. AS woman and a physician
ldeplore the horrible results of making
man seek his amusements where hi
| is liable to fall prey to the wors
temptations, and so wish you speedy
success in reestablishing the canteeI
in the American army.
Instead Of our liquors, wines, etc.
the Japanese use beverage they pre-
pare themselves, called sake, tastin,
like sherry, served hot, but in charac
ter like the light wines or beer for
merly supplied in our army canteens
l saw this sake in Manchuria, wher'
it was furnished as part of the ra
lions when it was feasible to prOvid
it, though the quantity was exceeding
ly small, so that the effect was stimu
Hating, not intoxicating. l have hear
that sometimes, when the weather wa
bitterly cold, the daily sake had to b.
dispensed in the form of froze
lump, which was as big as man
thumb.
"In Hiroshima 1 met from time t
time court officials who were on thei
way from Toxic to the front with
quantity of sake which the empero
was sending as gift to the troop
, in celebration Of some victory. Thi
drink was also for sale by the pos
traders, and yet the temperance of tn
, Japanese soldier was wonder to m
nurses and myself. We saw tens
thousands of them, but never did W
see a soldier drunk"

LIVES LOST IN A MILL FIRE
Five Boys Thought to Have Been
Burned to Death.

Dover. N. H.-Fire that destroyed
mill No. of the Cocheco Manufacture
ing company, caused the loss of the
lives of four and probably FIVE young
mill operatives and property loss OF
half million dollars. The bodies OF
four boys, burned beyond recognition
were found in the ruins, and as five
boys are known to be missing, it is
believed another body will be discover
ed. The fire broke out soon after the
500 or more operatives had assembled
for the days work. Friction from a
belt generated sparks which lodged
in mass of cotton, and the flames
quickly spread throughout the build
ing. The exists soon became booked
by struggling mass of mill hands
and many were obliged to jump from
the windows. Others descended by
| means of ropes.

Value of Newspaper Advertising.

An exchange estimates that a news.
paper has 5000 readers for each 1000
subscribers. A merchant puts out
1000 handbills, gets possibly 800 or 400
people to read them-that is, if the
boy who is trusted to distribute them
does not chuck them under the side
walk. The handbills cost as much as
a half column advertisement in the
home paper. All the women and girls
and half the men and boys read the
advertisement. Result-the merchant
who uses the newspapers has $500
more readers to each thousand of the
papers readers. There is no estimating
the amount of business that advertis-
ing does bring to a merchant. but that
each dollar invested in advertising
brings to the investor substantial re
turns in business there can be no
doubt.

RhOdy and Newport.

It is shame the way Rhode Island
has treated George Peabody Wetmore.
Mr.. Wetmore has been senator for
twelve years, and in Rhode Island two
good terms deserve two more. Look
at Aldrich. Has Rhode Island ever
turned down Aldrich? Has Rhode
Island ever presented an opposition
candidate to Aldrich? NO. Rhode Is
land has treated Aldricb handsomely,
and in return Aldrich has taken care
that the tariff on ginger was as high
as Rhode Island could ask.
But about Wetmore? Why has
Rhode Island treated him so roughly?
Wetm ore never gave offense by speech
in the senate. He never made any.
Wetmore never enraged his constitu-
ents by an independent vote. He never
cast any. Wetmore is the only man in
the senate who actually lives at New
Port. Think of that! Out of ninety
senators, Newport, representing all that
is worthy in American life, has only
one. Still Newport could not complain
if the tenure of her one senator were
assured. But it isn't. The rubber
trust put up candidate against him.
The plebian reformers put up a candi-
date against him, and there was no
election. The shock almost ruined the
season at Newport. Let the legislature
at once be called in extra session and
let George be reelected instantly and
the season is saved. Otherwise the re-
public is on the rock-Minneapolis

About Books.

If any schoolbooks are taken from
home they should be covered neatly.
Thin table oilcloth or that sold for COW
ering shelves is the best for the pur-
pose, as it can be washed bff when
soiled. Heavy paper or lineA may be
substituted. A neat bag for carrying
books, pencils, etc., to and from school
is appreciated by the little ones. 1t
may be made at home of linen or bur
lap in gray, dark green, red or seal
brown. either embroidered or braided.
An initial letter worked upon the out
side with embroidery silk or floss will
give the children that comfortable
sense of personal possession which is
valuable in making them feel RESPONSE

they own.

enough to keep the little ones neatly

of these is useful, and if they are

ample pockets. Pockets are useful
places for tucking pencils or erasers in

be folded up and tucked into the desk

this sort for pencils, etc., to stand on
