How cIeveIan d Routed Smallpox.


The o recess of disinfectirg to prevent
Smallpox that has been productive of
such excellent results in Cleveland is
most simple and economical. 1t consists
of a through %fumigation with Tformalde-
hyde gas OF every house in the neighbor-
hood where smallpox is known to exist.
Formaldehyde is sold as a commodity
a 40 per cent. solution of formaldehyde
and water. The pure formaldehyde va
por is produced from the liquid solution
by means of a generator which is carried
from house to house for the purpose OF
disinfecting as required The use OF the
disinfectant i'll gaseous form is strongly
| recommended for the reason that it
reaches every part OF the room and per-
meats to every section of the enclosed
/ space where disease germs could pos
sibly find a lodging. The %sprinkling of
a LIQUID solution OF any form of disin-
fectant is condemned for the reason that
it only reaches a portion of the space
subject to infection. Consequently the
| generator has been called into use with
excellent effect.
How DIsINFECTING Is DONE.
The process of disinfecting was des-
cribed by Public Health Officer Martin
Friedrich as follow:
"The room must be Theoretically sealed
in order to prevent the escape of gas
and ensure it's p%remeation to every ex-
posed surface within the space enclosed.
Every drawer and closet in the room
should be opened wide and every article
of clothing hung freely from the walls.
Books should be hung by the corner Of
one corner in order that the leaves will
hang loose and open. Every article of
furniture and every object in the room
| should present, as far as possible an ex-
posed surface. These precautions are alb
s~oIutely essential, as the f~ormaldehyde
| gas is purley a surface disinfectant and
will not penetrate into solids. When all
is prepared, the generator is placed in the
ROOM, the heat in the burner applied,
the door closed with every crevice sealed
to prevent the escape of gas and the
disinfectant left to its work for a period
of twenty minutes to half an hour"
CHECKED SPREAD OF DISEASE.
In discussing the effects of the syste-
matte work of disinfecting conducted by
the Health Department., DIR. Friedrich
said that for five years the city had never
been free from smallpox. Between Jan
uary and September 1900 cases were de-
veloped. The public health officer noted
that in every case where the fo~rmaldehye
gas system had been used as a disinfect-
| ant no further cases were reported from
that immediate neighborhood. He there
fore recommended the thorough and sys-
tematic disinfection Of every house and
eyery structure within the neighborhood
where cases OF smallpox were under treat
ment.
Forty generators were procured and
forty assistants, divided into squads, I'M
der the direction of the Department Of
Police, were detailed to the work. The
work was continued from the latter part
of July until November 9.

1t is beginning to be realized that we
are building the Panama Canal for
Germany, Great Britain, Japan and
other nations that carry freight by sea.
1t is evident that the trading ships OF
other nations will use the waterway TO
a much greater extent than all the
people of this country. How Can 1t De
otherwise? Our ships, owing to the
tariff and the high price OF labor, cost
so percent more titan the ships OF any

CALL TO ACTION.
The winter OF 1911 will be another
critical time in the history OF the Sunday
Law OF New Jersey: for doubtless a de-
termined effort will be made by the foes
of the Lords Day to either repeal the ex-
isting Sunday law or to emasculate it by
amendments SO it will become nugatory.
The Lords Day Alliance of New Jer-
sey is the only organization in the State
that exists wholly for the defense of the
Lords Day. 1t is therefore worthy Of the
unstinted support Of all who desire to
see our Sunday law preserved.
In the coming battle for the existence
of the Rest Day in this State this Alliance
will be found in the front line OF battle.
Let all who desire to see the Sunday Law
retained be present at the Convention in
Trenton, N. j., Jan. 26, 1911, and by
their presence show that they are not
indifferent to this tremendous issue.

zAPATA REVOLTS
 AGAINST MADERO Hero of Mexican Revolution Is Placed in Embarrass-
 ing Position

Mexico City. June 19--It what appears
 to be open defiance of the constitu- tional government and the wishes of the former leader of the revolution, Emcliano Zapata has re-armed some hundreds of former insurrectos in Cuer
 naveca. the capital of the state of Morelos His action has placed Fran
 cisco I. Madero in a most embarrassing predicament and may result in orders
 being issued to General Figueroa, Za- pata's old commander, to lead against him the troops of Guerrero. Madero has ordered Zapata to report here to give him an opportunity to
 explain That he will avail himself of thi softer is considered by most peo- pie except Madero as improbable. A committee representing citizens of lMorelos, now temporary residents of the capital, protested this morning to Madero against his appointment of Za- psta as commander in chief of the rev olutlonary forces in that state Accord ing to this committee zapata was a
 bandit before the inauguration of hos tf.ities, acted more like bandit during the war than an officer and that since the occupa ton of Cuernavaca, condi- tions have become so bad that they can be described as anarchial.
 The committee demanded that Zapata be removed at once and that some one
 be named who would make life and prop erty safe.
 Madero felt that he was not in a posi- ton to acceed to their demands, but as
 sured them that within two weeks at the most the forces under Zapata would be mustered out or regularly installed in the ranks of the regulars, or ru- rales.
 Tomorrow the Morelos citizens leaving here will hold their second mass meet ing to discuss Madero's answer. If the advice of few is followed the peaceful residents will resort to arms to rid their state of Zapata and his men. The more
 conservative element is counselling cau-
 ton, but all agree that they will be
 political, if not armed, enemies of Madero
 if he finds no way of removing from power the new commander-in-chief. Friends of Madero believe he will be able to pacify the people of Morelos. not actually yielding to their demands
 for the summary dismissal of Zapata. Tonight Madero stated that he believed Zapata would be in the capital tomor-
 row and that some sort of an under
 standing would be reached. It is not
 improbable that Zapata may be placed
 under arrest shortly after his arrival.
 thus effectualy checking the little state revolution.

COTTON DECLINES
 DOLLAR ABALE
Heavy Rains Over Cotton Belt Break Drouth
 Scare

New Orleans June 19-Good rains in the eastern half of the cotton belt. light showers in the western half and the fore larger portion of the belt put the price of cotton about dollar bale lower in the trading up to noon today.
 Shorts were heavy sellers and the bear side put out many telegrams and circu- lars stating that the drouth had been relieved over the entire belt with the re- suit that the condition of the crop was better by several points than it was a month ago. This brought in many sell ing orders from outside sources and just at noon the new crop months were IS points or within two points of a dollar bale under Saturdays close. The old crop months at their lowest were IS to 2J points down, August being the weakest month on the boards and standing at the lowest at noon. July steadied on profit taking by shorts and was 15 points down at noon.
 The market opened Il to 15 points off, partly as the result of the rains shown on the weather map and partly in sym pathy with the wide break in the Liver pool market. Shorts were heavy buyers to realize profits on the first call and but for the weakness of Liverpool the initial decline would not have been so wide. l The present rains are of great import ance as next Sunday ends the period to be considered in the next report on con- dition of the crop from the government.
 Rain was general last night and this morning over the middle and east gulf states. With showers reported Satur day night, the precipitation of the past l A hours records the end of a drouth over this section varying from four to I seven weeks. Rain continued to fall in New Orleans, south Louisiana and south 1 Mississippi today.
