The Hon. Thomas Sharkey, referee1ng

carnival, rebuked too energetic pugi-

The refining influence of women upon

pleasant theory. A greater man than
Sharkey once disputed it. Telling how

VENOM OF THE MOSQUITO.
Agency I'm Spreading Disease Was
Discovered Many Years Ago.

Agency in Spreading Disease Was
Discovered Many Years Ago.
At the time of the discovery of the
mosquitoes agency In breeding disease
it was not dreamed that far more than
the germ of the truth had been reveal
ed many years before, says the New
York Sun. The truth was told In 1853
in the obscure columns of the Faceta
Office, published at the port of Camana,
Venezuela, and little later in brief
note or two that the discoverer wrote
to the Academy of Sciences in Paris.
1t was buried in those pages and for
gotten, and has now been resurrected
by the Havana Cronica Medico and the
British Medical Journal.
In May, 1853, Louis Daniel Beauper-
thuy, native of Guadaloupe and
health officer at Camana, wrote to the
Gaceta Official that for fourteen years
he had made microscopic study of the
blood and seeretions in every type of
fever and had discovered that yellow
fever resulted from the stings Of sew
eral species of mosquitoes. ''The mos
quito plunges its proboscis into the skin
and introduces poison which has
properties akin to that of snake venom.
1t softens the red blood corpuscles,
causes their rupture, and facilitates the
mixing of the coloring matter with the
serum"
Beauperthuy said good word for
| the much-maligned swamp, whose repu-
tation as breeder Of malaria and 9TH
| er fevers was widespread. Marshes
do not communicate to the air any
thing more than humidity, and the
small amount of hydrogen they give
off does not cause in man the slight
est indisposition in equatorial and In.
| tertropical regions renowned for their
unhealthfulness. Nor is 1t the putres.
cence of the water that makes 1t un
healthy, but the presence Of mosqui'
toes"
In one of his short communications
to the Paris Academy of Sciences, dat
ed from Camana, June IS, 1856, h'
wrote that as early as 1889 his inves
LEGATIONS in unhealthy locations II
South America had convinced him tha
the so-called marsh fevers were due t.
vegeto-animal virus "inoculated Int
man by mosquitoes"
Beauperthuy's facts and deduction
were so remote from all the medica
teachings of the day that they wer
doubtless laughed at and promptly foI
gotten. Probably the priority of hi
discovery will now be acknowledged
but 1t might have been a profoun
blessing to the world If scientific re
search had been able in the middle o
the last century to proceed along tn
lines suggested by Beauperthuy's al
nouncement.

Do you wash? 1t Is well-kn0Wn
medical fact that scrubbing the face
and hands with chemical detergents Is
absolutely ruinous to the delicate outer
fabric Of the skin. You would not pour
a can Of petrol on the side of an aero
plane to make it go, would you? Why,
then, attempt to open the pores OF the
cuticle and keep them working by the
external application Of saponaceous
tablets and other inferior frauds OF
the kind? Beware of these as you
would of poison
Water is equally dangerous. Why is
It that you meet SO many people ev-
ery day IN the street with gray smut
stained faces and toil-begrlmed hands I
Simply because they abrade and de-
stroy the elegant envelope with which
nature has provided their bodies, in
stead of treating 1t nationally from
within. The only way to be clean is
to swallow soapoids, with their wonder
full internal operation on the ffbers and
nerve tissues. However dusty or grit
ty you may be, one does of soapoidS
will set you right The pores will
spring open and shed off the unnatural
accretion Of foreign substances as {
snake sloughs its skin.
Think, too, of the time and money
you will save. No more tedious ablu
tions and ruinous water rates. Yor
can swallow your soapoid as you wall
to the office and be as bright as new
pin.
Our final word is If you have beer
washing, stop 1t; II you have not, dom
begin. Spare your epirdermis, ant

KASPARILLA

T1is sterling household remedy is most
successfully prescribed for world of
troubles" For arrangements of the di-
gestive organs it is natural corrective,
operating directly upon the liver and ali
mentary canal, gently but persistently
stimulating healthful activity. Its
beneficial influence extends, however, to
every portion of the system, aiding in the
processes of digestion and assimilation of
food, promoting wholesome, natural
appetite, correcting sour stomach, bad
breath, irregularities of the bowels, con-
stipation and the long list of troubles
directly traceable to those unwholesome
conditions. Kasparilla -dispels drowsi
ness, headache, backache and despond-
ency due to inactivity of the liver,
kidneys and digestive tract. It is a
strengthening tonic of the highest value.
If it fails to satisfy we authorize all
dealers to refund the purchase price.

Another Kind.

When Johnny Hobbs left his home
up among the New Hampshire hills to
visit his grandmother in Worcester,
Mass, he was cautioned by his mother
that he would find things in the city
strangely different from those at home.
Johnny arrived in the early after
noon, and long before tea time his
grandmothe-, who lived most simply,
told him to run out to the pantry and
get a bowl of milk which she had left
there ''for a hungry boy
A moment later she followed him,
and, to her amazement, beheld her
grandson bravely at work on bowl
of spearmint tea which she had forgot
fully put in the place where she had
told him to find the milk.
"Why, child" she cried, seizing the
bowl from poor Johnny, don't you
know this isn't milkT'
IL knew it wasn't like Hillbury
milk" stammered Johnny, with final
gulp, "but thought maybe it was the
kind folks had In Worcester"

Peppermint ana Tobacco.

If you have a boy who has begun
smoking too early and whom you wish
to cure of the habit, feed him pepper
mints. DR.. o. Clayton Jones Of Silver
ton, England, writing in the London
Lancet, is authority for this simple
cure. DR.. Jones writes: ITO break the
smoking habit in a youth there is moth
ing better than peppermint drops. He
cannot smoke with a bullseye' In his
mouth, and even for some time after It
is dissolved tobacco will not blend kind
ly with the taste that remains. Social
ly the cure may seem worse than the
disease, but from a medical point of
view the sucking Of peppermints is far
less hurtful. A common 'bullseye' will
prevent smoking for nearly an hour,

be great"
