PLAN TO DETECT CHOLERA
Dr.. Doty Says Day Quaran-
tine Will Be Put Into Effect.

Or 4 r. Dotv. Health officer Of the
Port. ANNOUNCED yesterday that as soon As
orders came from Washington from sur
eaop General Wyman no would put into
effect al once 2 ten-day quarantine on all
rersons EXPOSED 10 cholera on shpboard.
Dr. Doty on his return from Washington
where he had been in conference with Or
Wyman. said the problem OF the cholera
carriers had been thoroughly discussed,
and that A recommendation for q ten-day
quarantine had been submitted 10 tho Sec
rotary Of the Treasury for approval
The law requires a five-day quarantine
for cholera" he said. but within the last
year ", have been confronted with new
phase Of this contagious disease in the
form of cholera carriers. n IS a problem
that not alone has come m ~ this port
but has dehed the health officials all over
the civilized world. \ closer study Of the
disease has shown that these amhulent
cases are tho dangerous kind that must be
kept out of the community, and this can
not bo done without q detention Of ten
DAYS AZ least
There are persons m apparently good
health who are capable of CARRYING and
transmitting cholera for twelve and fifteen
days without showing any symptoms what
ever OF the disease. We had case last
year Of q passenger OF the Austrian liner
Laura who did not show tho disease until
fourteen DAYS after infection. Also there
was a case found in one Of the Continental
Forts Of Europe recently which made Itself
manifest ~ enty-one days after infection. %
DR. Doty said he felt confident the ton
day detention would greatly minimize the
chances for cholera carriers 70 get into the
community Nevertheless he declared that
the utmost care and vigilance must be
maintained nv the health officials Of all
towns and cities receiving immigrants from
Southern Europe or other Districts where
tho disease was known 70 prevail.

the kings return march.
Mr. Manvlle ST., had sent for his son to
explain in person all about his sudden
wedding. As he holds the purse strings the
interview was regarded by the son as an
All important one, and 1t was evident from
the latteTs appearance afterward that il
had proved anything but satisfactory. The
father refused to sec reporters, but an in
innate personal friend gave an account
OF what took place during the interview.
From his account there was plenty Of
pepper on both sides. At the slightest hint
Of q remark not complimentary to his
wife young Manvile would instantly fire
up. Mr. Manville finally told his son that
he could go to work at the job and salary

that there would be no more allowance

steps toward setting aside the marriage.
Father and son will have another confer

they can come to some mutually satisfac-

Mr. Manville's attitude was not at all

A SHORT HISTORY OF
The ben DAVIS" APPLE
First Grown in the Free State
of ButIer-WhOm
Named After.

The Bowling Green Messenger
says:
The Ben Davis apples were first
grown by the Rev. Ben Davis in the
county of Butler, State of Kentucky,
who was the paternal grandfather
after whom our worthy citizen, the
Hon. James Davis Hines, of Bowl
ing Green, was named, and who
was either the son or grandson of
Benjamin Davis, of the county of
Culpeper, State of Virginia, who held
a lease on the ground on which the
present town Of Culpeper now
stands, for the record reads as fol-
lows:
"In February. 1859. Act of the
General Assembly of the Colony of
Virginia, established the town of
Fairfax (now Culpeper) on a high
'and pleasant situation in the county
of Culpeper, where the court house
now stands and set apart thirty
acres of Robert Coleman's land to
be laid off in lots by the trustees,
VIM. Green, Philip Clayton, Nat
Pendleton and William Williams.
"This land was held by Benja-
min Davis, lessee of Robt. Coleman,
who was permitted to hold his
houses and have one-ffth of his rent
deducted" Hence the name of Da-
Wis and Coleman streets-the for
mer of which is the municipal thor
oughfare of the town to this good
day.
Without doubt, on account of the
annoyance and discomfort result
ing from the enforced cancellation
of the above lease, Benjamin Davis
did as so many other sons of Gull
pepper have since done-came to
Kentucky and with him came the
apple scion that has made his name
famous over the United States. The
State of Missouri has some 30,000,-
900 apple trees, Of which seventy
five per cent, equal to twenty-five
and oDe-half million, are Ben Davis.
While the above apple is a beau
ty to behold. it is disappointment
to the palate-having evidently lost
some of it's many good qualities, as
so frequently occurs when p change
is made from one soil and climate
TO another. Still. it is on account of
it's very handsome appearance, fine
seller and to those who know no
better. it is all that is required of
an ernie.

THE COOK
CAN WE AFFORD TO DO IT?

Let the cook tremble. The end
of her reign may be at hand. The
help problem may be solved. It all
depends upon the accuracy of Doc
tor Robert Bells diagnosis, an
nounced at the Simple Life Confer
ence in London. He says We should
eat only uncooked food. that not
only meats but the natural foods,
fruits and vegetables should be serv-
ed raw Listen to him.
Man is the only animal who cooks
his food. Among wild animals we
don't find disease, we don't find de
cayed teeth. we don't find cancer.
1t is only in the animals that come
in contact with men that we find
disease.
Nor is freedom from disease the
only benefit from eating uncooked
food, according to the doctor. As
