and choked and stagnant water we're
quite common. With the clearing
away of woods, cultivation of fields,
and above all the introduction of good
water by means of artesian wells and
the process of filtering these trou-
bles have almost entirely disap-
peared. Even yellow fever that i'm
ported scourge once so dreaded is no
longer feared in the state. The pres
ence of malaria is an inseparable ac-
compartment of the clearing up of
any new country. 1t was once as
common on the Illinois prairies as it
ever was in the so-called swamps of
Mississippi, and has now almost COM
pletely disappeared from the cultivat-
ed areas of both states.
Probably the most complete exam
pie of malaria is the form known as
swamp fever" a haematuria. once
common in the newly-settled districts
of this and adjoining southern states
1t presented many of the characteris-
tics of yellow fever, and was very
fatal, but it was simply an aggravated
form of malaria affection, following
on long and neglected intermittent
"chills and fever" The almost entire
disappearance of this dreaded disease
is a proof that, if the commonly ac-
cepted belief in the unhealthfulness
of Mississippi had some foundation in
fact at first, it is now entirely without
justification.
This fortunate change, which has
made the state one of the most
healthful in the United States, is due
in great measure, of course, to the
clearing and cultivation of it's area,
but certainly in an equal degree to
the substitution of excellent and pure
water from artesian wells for the old
supply that was drawn from under
ground cisterns, wooden tanks, or ev-
en- from the streams and bayous. 1t
is probable that Mississippi now has
better water than any other state in
the union; and its effect on health is
shown by the fact that in that portion
of the state formerly most notable for
so-called malarial diseases artesian
water has come into almost universal
use, even in country districts with
the result that these forms of sickness
have almost entirely disappeared

MISSISSIPPI Will
Wage WAR On
TUBERCULOSIS
Special to The Net1S.

Jackson, Miss, Oct. 7.-Mississippi
is to wage war on tuberculosis. DR..
E. T. Routzahn, who will be in charge
of the national tuberculosis exhibit at
the state fair, is perfecting a state
wide organization through which the
campaign will be prosecuted.
The plans of the organization are
being worked out, and already the
ladies of Jackson are taking a deep
interest in the movement, as the meet
ing at Pythian Castle Monday indicat-
ed. DR.. Routzahn is trying to interest
all woman's clubs in the movement,
believing they can do more real good
in that direction than any other forces.
that can be brought to bear.
Already the ladies of Jackson have
promised to cooperate or many of
them have, while it is believed wo-
men throughout the state will take the
matter up, once they thoroughly I'M
detsand it. Every womans organiza-
ton, of whatever character, will be
asked to aid the movement, which is
already assuming good proportions.
The exhibit, which will be one of
the features of the state fair, is said
to be the finest in the world. A course
of lectures will be given each day at
this exhibit, and the ladies visiting
the state fair are especially requested
to attend.
Not only is DR.. Routzahn soliciting
the aid of the womans clubs, but he
is trying to interest school teachers,
Sunday School workers and all classes
in the movement.
Mississippi is comparatively free of
this disease, but it is becoming more
prevalent here, it is said, and this can
be prevented by precautionary meas
ures being taken against infection,
and this is the campaign DR.. Routzahn
proposes for Mississippi.

The Hat,

The custom of men wearing hats
originated in the days when they wore
helmets. These helmets were usually
made of iron or brass or some other
durable material and were intended
to prevent the head of the man be.
ing whacked off by some enemy.
1t was a great deal like our present.
day method of building navies. Some
one would invent a helmet that could
not be carved with a sword and then
some one would invent a sword or bat
tie ak that could send the helmet to
the scrap pile
Finally the iron hats became so
heavy and hot that gentlemen refused
to wear them, and when an enemy ap-
preached they called the police.
So today we have the derby hat the
silk hat and the straw. Also the fold
ing or collapsible opera hat, which was
invented for the use of vaudeville
comedians. A man In ordinary life
may snap his opera hat all he likes.
and never get smile, but let him
go on the stage and do it and he is
encored four times and paid $500 a
week
The silk hat is worn by politicians
and physicians. However, any poll
tician south of Missouri and west of
Mississippi wearing anything but a
black SLOUGH hat is sent to congress
to get him out of the country.
The straw hat is so deity con-
structed that it is easily blown from
the head, thus enabling us to scatter
gladness throughout life as We rush
in pursuit of the hat.
Hats are removed when ladies are
present. This is for display Of man
ners, and not to exhibit the contour of
the Uranium.
