HEAD OF PHYSICIANS
COL. WILLIAM eoReAs, CLEANSER
OF PANAMA ZONE, HoNoRED.
New President of American Medical
Association Has Attained an In
ternational Reputation Among
the Scientists.

Chieago.-Col. William c. Gorgas
whose worx as chief sanitary officer of
the Panama canal zone and previous
work of like nature have been recog-
nized by the medical profession in his
election to the presidency OF the
American Medical association, has at
tanned an international reputation
among scientists. He is generally
given credit for the measures that
freed Havana of yellow fever and made
the canal zone, once considered one
of the deadliest spots in the world, as
healthful as Illinois or Vermont.
Col. Gorgas is a native of the south.
He was born in Mobile, Ala, October
g., 1854. His father was a leader in the
confederate army-Gen. Josiah Gorgas.
At the age of 81 Col. Gorgas was grad.
uated from the University of the
South, Sewanee, Tenn. He finished
his professional course four years
later at Bellevue hospital medical col
lege, New York city, and became a
member of the house staff of the hos
pital. After a few months of this
work he entered the army service.
His first appointment was as a lieuten.
ant of the medical corps, in 1880. He
was sent to Fort Brown, Texas, where
he was the victim of an attack of vel
low fever. Misfortunes have been the
making of many men, and in the case
Of Col. Gorgas personal experience
with the dread disease gave him an In
terest in it that was destined to bear
important results for the good of the
world.
One year after the appointment of
Lieut.. Gorgas to the army service, DR..
Carlos Finlay, a practicing physician
in Havana, first brought to the notice
of the world the theory that mos

quitoes caused the spread of yellow
fever. Maj. Ronald Ross of the Brit
ish-India medical service also discov-
cred that malaria was also carried
from one person to another by the bite
of the anopheles mosquito, and scien-
fists began to awaken to the impor.
lance of systematic and thorough in
v~estigation on this subject. Col.
Gorgas made such an investigation in
Cuba.
Mosquitoes, according to the army
Investigations, do not originate the
germs Of either yellow fever or mala-
ria, but carry both, after biting human
beings. The stegomyia insects are ma
tives of India and the Philippines. but
the yellow fever organism has never
been taken into those countries, hence
the mosquitoes are not dangerous to
life or health there.
For his work in Havana Mai. Gorgas
was promoted to colonel by special act
of congress in 1903. He was sent to
the Panama zone as chief sanitary of
ficer, and March 4, 1907, was made a
member of the isthmian canal commits
sion. At Panama he proceeded to
clean up and to prevent the devel-
opment of disease by fighting the mos

eral hundred yards from our camps
and villages, put wire netting into the
houses and advised everyone to take
three grains Of q~uinine daily" said
Col. Gorgas last October. Il think
am justified in saying that we have
malaria under control. Our death
rate among Americans last year was
less than four persons in 1000, and we
have 1890 men and 1900 women and
children along the zone from Panama
City to Colon"
Describing the general measures for
sanitation along the Panama zone, Col.
Gorgas said:
I'VE found a strip of country ten
miles wide and 46 miles long, with a
considerable settlement at each end
and almost rs hamlets between. We
followed the methods which had rid
Havana Of yellow fever, a scourge that
had been epidemic for $50 years. We
stopped the fever in 16 months.
"In the city of Panama alone, where
each house was fumigated three
times, we burned 100 tons of pyre
thrum, 200 tons Of sulphur and large
quantities of other disinfectants. -Four
hundred men were engaged in the
work, N~inety-eight per cent. of the
West India negroes, who came to dig
the canal, had malaria, and the para
site was found in the blood of 20 pei
cent. of those persons whom we exam
ined at random"

CHAPTER xxxUI.

Riverton, less provincial than Green
vale, was a village of some two thou
sand inhabitants. A few brick blocks,
with less p~retentious wooden build
ings, formed a nucleus of stores. A
brown-stone bank, four churches, two
hotels, the Quaboag house and the
Aston house were i~ntermingled among
these, and a railroad with two trains
in each direction a day added life and
interest to the place. Each of the no.
tells sent a conveyance to meet every
train, with a loud-voiced emissary to
announce the fact Of free transporta-
ton. In each hostelry a bar fiourished
and like rival clubs, each had its after
noon and evening gathering of loafers
who snapped yarns and gossip,
smoked and chewed necessarily, and
contributed little else to support the
establishments. Three times daily, at
meal hours, each Of the rival landlords
banged a discordant gong in his front
doorway, without apparent result.
At about IL in the forenoon each
weekday in summer, Uncle Joe Barnes
on his numbering two-horse stage, ar
rived from Greenvale, paused at the
post office, threw off a mail-pouch,
thence around to the Quaboag house
stable, and cared for his horses. At
two he was ready for the return trip
and mounting his lofty seat, he again
drove to the front Of the hotel, shout
ing "All aboard" dismounted to assist
lady passengers, but let masculine
ones do their own climbing, and after
hating to receive a mailbag. again
departed on his return trip.
A certain monotonosJ regularity was
apparent in every moe and every act
and function Of village life In River
ton. At precisely seven o'clock each
morning the two landlords appeared
simultaneously and banged their
gongs. AT IL and six, this was repeat

too!" And hastily brushing his untidy
hair before the Office mirror, he left
the room again, followed by six en-
vious glances. Then those astonished
loafers grouped themselves, the better
to observe he passage between parlor
and office.
Only one instant sight of this impor-
tant guest was obtained by them as
Chip emerged from the parlor and
followed the landlord upstairs, and
then the hushed spell was broken.

in an awed whisper, AN Jim was

queried a fourth, Ito draw the interest
on her money, or what?"
1t was precisely four forty-flve when
Chip appeared before the judge and
jury of all Riverton's happenings. AT
five f~orty-ive they had agreed that
she was the handsomest young lady
who had aver set foot in the town
that she must be going to get married
soon, and that her mission there was
to draw out a few thousand dollars
for wedding finery. Then they dis
persed, and at six forty-five, when they
assembled at the Quaboag again, hal
of Riverton knew their conclusions
and by bedtime all knew them.
BY eight-thirty next morning, thi'
all-observant and all-wise clique haC
gathered in the hotel office once more
an unusual proceeding, and when Chi
tripped out, eight pairs of eyes watched
her depart. Then they dispersed.

CHAPTER xxxIl.-continued.

A rapid and almost wonderful
growth of this yule-tide impulse now
swept over Chip, so much SO that 1t
must be told. At first it took shape in
the intended purchase Of comparative
trihes,-a fishing-rpd for Uncle Jud, a
pipe for Martin, gloves for Aunt Abby,
and so on. Then as that seemingly
vast fortune, o hers to spend, oc'
cured to Chip, and her of obli'
cation as well, the intended gifts in
creased in proportion until a costly
picture of some camp or wildwood
scene for Angie and a valuable watch
for Miss Phinney were decided upon.
Her plan as to how to obtain these
presents also took shape. Riverton
was the only place where they could
be obtained. To that village she would
go first, obtain the money needed, de-
vote one entire day to making her
purchases, and then go on to Green
vale and astonish these good friends
from whom she was once so eager to
escape.
1t was all a most delightful episode
which was now anticipated by Chip.
Again and again she lived it over,
especially her arrival in Greenvale,
and how like a Lady Bountiful she
would present her gifts to her friends.
So eager was she thus to make some
compensation to them that lessons be-
came irksome, the day seemed weeks
in length, and she could scarce sleep
when bedtime came.
But the slow days dragged by at
last, and then Chip, happier than ever
before in her life, dressed in her best.

Prof. e. c. Bishop, deputy state superin-
tendent Of public instruction, is in Omaha

tlonal Corn exposition Wednesday that
thirty-four counties in the state have now
arranged for local corn contests and lee
lures with a view to collecting the best
corn in each county for the Nebraska ex-
hibit at the National Corn exposition.
To assist Prof. Bishop several experts
from the University OF Nebraska have been
detailed to act as judges at the local con-
test. =
Arrangements have been completed by the
superintendent of public instruction and
his assistants to hold the annual conven-
ton of the Nebraska Boys Agricultural
association and the Nebraska Girls Do
nestle Science association in Omaha during
the corn show. From 1900 to 5000 boys and
girls attend these conventions, and it is es-
tlmated that the attendance will be larger
this year by reason of its being held in
Omaha.
The boys and girls of Nebraska are TAX
Ing such an interest in practical scientific
