Prevention of Cholera.

Now that there is at best the posi-
biIfty OF danger of the introduction into
this country Of Asiaric cholera, a pla-
que that has in the past proven most
destructive to human life, it is well for
the people TO consider the best means
of prevention. Since the two great
epidemics of choera which swept the
United States In the thirties and the
fifties. great advance has been made in
medical science. II has been discover
ed that cholera is not contagious in
the common acceptance of the word. In
order for the germ of cholera to devel-
op in the human system, it must, like
the germ of typhoid fever, pass through
the stomach and lodge in the alkaline
tract Of the small intestines. If the
stomach is in a properly healthy con-
dition and has a normal reaction the
germ of neither cholera nor typhoid
can pass through it alive.
This is easy for anybody to under
stand and it suggests that the best
way to prevent cholera is to keep the
stomach in a healthy condition. II has
also been suggested that in the actual
presence Of the disease the use of acid
drinks made preferably from the miner
al acids. which most closely resemble
that secreted in the stomach, will as
sist in the prevention of the conditions
which foster the disease. At this time
it is very proper to emphasize the
plain fact that can be understood by
anybody that if your stomach is heal
thy you need fear neither cholera nor
typhoid.
There is no cause for apprehension
as to a cholera epidemic. but there is
always good reason why good health
should be fortified against disease.

Mr.. Bryan's Rebuff in His Own State

The democrats of Douglas county
Nebraska, have passed a resolution
singing Mr. Bryan. The resolution
says:
We deplore and condemn the action
Of William J. Bryan, who, having re-
peatedly received the loyal support o.
The democratic party of Nebraska
turned ueacherously upon IT in its
hour of need and accomplished it's de.
feat"
Mr.. Bryan is always quick TO decide
upon a course. always fearless in fol
lowing out, and usually right, as The
Argus maintained at the time. but in
the matter of local option he blundered
by mistakiug for a world movement, a
sporadic local protest against political
abuses and loose police regulations.
These were matters for such two-by-
four chautaUquans as former Governor
Hanly of Indiana and politicians of
5lrd-shot calibre generally, but not wor-
thy the serious consideration OF q big
man like Mr.. Bryan That he split the
party in Nebraska is to be regretted.
not merely for the local effect. which
VIII soou be forgotten. but because the
incident tends 10 weaken the useful
ness Of Mr. Bryan on the larger and
more vital matters
