But he does not eat the acorn. for.

object is storing away the acorns ex-
hibits foresight and a knowledge Of

Science Has Won Over Contagion

st. Louis, June THE go quar-
antine stations maintained by the
United States marine hospital ser
vice are no longer called upon to
deal with the larger contagious and
epidemic diseases, owing to the pro-
gress of medical science, declared
Dr.. Walter Wyman, surgeon gene
raj of the United States marine hos
pital service. in an address before
the American Medical association
last night.
What were formerly considered
dangerous diseases at our ports are
rapidly passing away as matter Of
concern. he said. yellow fever
is no longer demanding much wor-
ry, and diseases which a few years
ago were d menace are now either
under control or practically eradi-
Gated.
1T is now the minor epidemics
which occupy our attention, and
though they are in some respects a
greater menace than were the lar
ger epidemics Of early days, We are
now fighting the typhoid fever, tn
berculosis, rabies and leprosy.
I'm some respects the sanitary
system practiced by the United
States government il its marine
lservice is superior toaanV IN the
world. In some respects it IS unique
in the operation Of its hygienic labo
ratories. It's 130 experts have done
great service, not. only for this conn
try but for the world. :

like Tennyson's Brook, = bid fair to

The beautiful new First Part,
The Palace Of Revelry, is a dream of
splendor and a feast for the eye.
Extravagant adjectiVes do but
slight justice to the scene painter,
art. This, together with the light
ing effects and beautiful and expen-
sive satin and silk costumes and set
tings, form a picture not soon to be
forgotten, and represents an outlay
Of money that would stagger a mi
nor attraction. The singing portion
Of the program is under a conpe-
tent instructor, and you will hear
the songs of the Southland sung
with a spirit and fidelity true to the
ante-bellum days.
But the good things do not end
here. There are seven big vauae-
vile acts. two Of which have never
appeared with a minstrel company
before.
The parade will take place
promptly at noon. There will be a
free band concert by the best min
streI band in the world at 7::30
O'clock in the. evening in front Of
| the theater.
