erlasting Cycle of the mosquitoes life is
broken into.
If MOSQUITOES are found, or If the wig
"details are discovered, the insects and
larvae are taken to the sanitary office.
There they are examined and classified.
A record is kept of the number of mos
ouitoes and larvae, whether they are Of
the Stegomyia. the yellow fever carrying
variety, OF otherwise. The discovery of
an unusual number OF mosquitoes in any
particular section means the enforce
ment of an extraordinary inspection and
the use of more oil. Havana last year
used over 10000 gallons of crude oil in
the anti-mosquito campaign.
Havana has no sewerage system. and
the presence of the Inevitable cesspools
means a greater consumption of OIL and
a greater vigilance than Will be required

sewerage system is Installed

The city IS blessed with a water supply
which is not excelled by any other city
in the world of it's size. The water is
pure and palatable, although a little hard.
1t comes from the famous Vento springs
and is distributed by system Of aque-
ducts which is even greater monument
to the engineer, General Francisco de AL
bear. than that marble efigy which
stands at the junction of two principal
business streets of the city.
The first decade of freedom from the
Spanish rule has made many changes in
the life of the Cuban. Perhaps the great
est of all these changes has been accom-
piished by the sanitary officers. Yellow
fever has been practically abolished, ma
laria has been placed under control and
the people Of the small towns and rural
districts have been provided with hos
pitfalls.
Whether or not the great sanitary work
inaugirated by the Americans In the gov
eminent of intervention will be permitted
to lapse as 1t did during the former
period of the self-governing republic, is
something that time alone can ten. This
matter may be fraught with great politi-
cal Importance. II it is again proved that
the cubans will not keep up the neces-
sary sanitary work to prevent yellow
fever epidemics, that fact will be a suf-
ficient reason for the United States again
to step in. The American government
can not permit an island at its very doors
to become breeding place for dangerous
$3.50
Leaving aside politics and questions OF
administration. the science OF sanitation
undoubtedly has achieved its greatest
triumph in Cuba. TO have destroyed the
scourge OF yellow fever is one OF the
greatest accomplishments in all history.
That it was done by American army
medical officers is something of which
every American ought to be proud. Army
medical officers died to test the mosquito
theory of yellow fever transmission under
circumstances that called for a finer
quality of courage than is necessary to
charge a battery or shell a fort. If the
United States has done nothing else
that is good in it's whole career as the
elder brother of Cuba, the record of its
sanitary work alone has been worth al
the money and all the trouble it has
cost. Copyright, 1909, by Frederick J.

ert Edward Lee were celebrated most
and successfully on Tues

vate and moral life of General Lee. All
the speeches on the program were pre-
pared by the students who spoke. out
trait of General Lee was placed upon the
stage during the exercises.
The holiday is celebrated by order of
the board of education. Formerly a
whole holiday was given with no exer-
cises, but the present half-holiday with
exercises by the students themselves has
proven highly satisfactory and beneficial.

CHURCH FLIRTING

CHICAGO. Jan. 1s.-While flirting in
theatres and other places of public
amusement should be tabooed, according
to Rev. S. B. Dexter, of Aurora, he has
announced that 1t may properly take
place in church. where he declares ut Is
purged of its harmfulness." His decision
grows out of crusade against Sunday
night amusements.
"Church surroundings and associations, =
he says, ARE entirely different from those
which attend performances in public
places. Some times the plays in our the
aires are a trihe risque, and II the show
be given on Sunday the result is q general
forgetfulness of that fact. Under condi-
tions flirting is harmful.
I'm church, however, can see no harm
in little bit of flirting If the people
come not to look at each other but to
learn the scriptures"
