USED OVER A TON OF QUININE.
Canal Zone Health Departments
Fight Against Malaria.

I'm the effort to prevent malarial dis
eases by administering prophylactic doses
as we'll as In the trea tment of such dis
ca ses the department of sanitation Of
the Isthmian Canal Zone dispensed over
ton and quarter of quinine durini,
1908. There were treated in the hospitals
1.,372 cases of malaria. and in the sick
camps $1,000 cases We're treated The
cost of the drug of which 42.7S4 ounces
were used was $S.423 al the rate of So. 10
a pound The average number Of en-
ployes was 1880. SO that the average
amount of auinine issued to each en-
ploye was close 10 one ounce.
Quinne is dispensed free in the Canal
Zone to any one who applies for ii.
whether an employe of the commission
or not; because the fight to keep the
canal force healthy is greatly aided by
the decrease of malaria among the peo-
pie living in the villages on the Canal
Zone In addition TO the hospitals there
are two regular channels of distribution.
the diSpenSarieS. at which all persons are
served, and the quinine dispensers. who
visit the labor camps The general ad
vice given to the men when exposed is
10 take at least three grains a day for
prophyiactic purpose, but that is not
needed by every one.
The use Of quinine is not urged upon
employees except when the malarial rate
runs unusually high. The months from
July to December are those in which the
disease is most prevalent.

FOUR HURT IN A VIRGINIA FIRE
SEABOARD LINES WAREHOUSE
BURNS AT PORTSMOUTH.
Explosions From Unknown Cause
Greatly Endangered Lives
of Fire Fighters.

PORTSMOUTH. Pa. May 11.-Fire of
unknown origin. accompanied by an ex-
plosion. destroyed the general warehouse
of the Seaboard Air Line railway at
the railroad terminals here early yester-
day. entailing loss of from 100000 to
s15OOOO and resulting in the injury of
four men. one being seriously hurt
The injured are: Fireman Walter Bis
sett. struck by flying brick. seriously
hurt: Night Yardmaster Matheson. nose
badly cut and back injured; Tom Sellers.
colored, cut about the head; unknown
white man. teeth knocked out.
Between fifty and sixty freight cars,
many of them loaded, were also burned.
The fire gained rapid headway and for
time it appeared that all of the build
ings located in the Seaboard's repair and
construction yards would be consumed.
Soon after the Portsmouth fire depart
ment arrived on the scene tremendous
explosion within the storehOuse, brick
structure. followed by several smaller
ones. sent bricks and burning timbers fiy-
ing in every direction. greatly endanSer-
ing the lives of the fire fighters and 9TH
ers who had gathered on the scene.
Explosion Felt Five Miles.
Whether. it was a large tank of acid or
quantity of dynamite stores used in
construction work on the railroad which
exploded is matter of doubt but the
shock which ensued from the first eXplo-
sion was felt within radius of five miles,
even rafting windows in Norfolk on the
opposite side of the Elizabeth river. The
officials of the company attribute the eX-
plosions 10 a quantity of stored torpedoes,
The burned storehouse contained gem
eral supplies for the entire Seaboard sys-
tenn and the loss upon the building and
its general contents alone is placed at
10000. The fire was confined to the store
house and cars. the latter being ignited
oy burning timbers from the storehouse
hurled upon the roofs by the force of the
explosion.
The firemen were greatly handicapped
i'm subduing the flames. il is said because
the departments hose would not fiji the
railroad hydrants.
Three of the injured men We're taken to
the Kings Daughters Hospital. All prob
ably will recover.

about cur temporal affairs? Now in pray

strain our inordinate ambition, but even
to euro and moderate our laudable de-
sires. Those earthly things that we so
crave appear small and trifing when
weighed in the scales of the sanctuary,

must have vinegar look for that which

Gluten Sandwiches.
These excellent and appetising morsels
are made of gluten bread. lettuce and
mayonnaise. They are digestibe easily
made and most suitable for young per-
sons. Cut the bread in thin slices. and
lay on each slice one or two delicate let
tuce leaves. Cover this bed with mayon-
naise which has been made with fork,
and is seasoned only with olive OIL red
pepper and lemon Another slice Of the
bread covers this, and the sandwiches are
most ornamental whefl cut in N-shaped
pieces. Mayonnaise rubbed with fork
is more tender than that made with the
usual machine or egg beater.
The Condiment Box.
OF course, you will remember TO take
along salt and pepper. but if you want
the taste immortal have the last of ca

Surprisingly Rich

You'll be surprised at the richness and
favor Which Van Camps gives to milk
dish
You'll wonder what We have added to
make it so good
But we add nothing at all.
The difference is this: You were cooking
before with half-milk For mkman's milk
separates, before and after you get it.
The butter fat rises and the solids fall
So you never get the whole, rich milk.
In Van Camps you do. You'll never again

A Warning

Van Camps is not like condensed milk.
which is half sugar. Ours is nothing but
milk
Analysis of Van Camps shows about
per cent of butter fat. That is because we
use very rich milk and evaporate two thirds
of the water.
But one may take out much less of the
water and still have "evaporated" milk
SO there is need to be careful Don't think
that all milks are alike. Van Camps costs
more than many brands which cannot
begin to compare with it.
You will get the utmost in milk if you n.
