BLACK DEATH
Health Authorities Say Bubon
ic Plague May Enter
United States
IS NOW FOUND IN PORTO RICO
Mexican And Pacific Coasts
Are Two Points OF The
Greatest Danger

Bubonic Plague. the tBlack
Death of Medieval Europe, is threat
ening the United States. The coun-
try is today confronted with a prob
lem Of momentous Importance and
one the verv gravity of which should
awaken the entire people to immed-
late action.
Plague Is In Cuba
Plague has manifested itself in
Porto Rico and Cuba. two of the
principal islands of the West Indies.
The idea of bubonic plague eyer raw
aging the Mississippi Valley or the
Atlantic seabord. may be regarded
by some persons as an absolute fancy.
Notwithstanding popular opinion to
the contrary. these sections of the
United States will probably have to
consider this problem in the near
future.
This is the opinion of DR.. Howard
B. King of New Orleans. Instructor
in Tropical Medicine in Tulane Uni
versity. This is.rather an alarming
prophecy. Its fulfillment depends
upon the attitude which will be
adopted by the health authorities of
the threatened states and the extent
to which the working forces Of the
different health organizations of the
government will cooperate.
A Problem On East Coast
Plague on the eastern coast of the
United States is already national
health problem and not a sectional
one. The situation in South Ameri-
ca. Porto Rico and Cuba, and the
possibility of importation of either
human beings or rats afflicted with
the plague is by no means a pleas
SAINT one. THE Journal Of the Am
erican Medical Association. = in
which DR.. Kings article appears,
considers the situation one ofutmost
seriousness. Itsays editorially, 1T
is time to face the situation soberly
but with a full APPRECIATION of what
IS in store for US. Our ports on the
gulf and Atlantic coast are to con-
siderable degree rat infected.
Rats May Bring 1t
If plague infected rats should be
introduced into any Of our costal
cities, itwould be difficult. and in
the opinion Of some. an impossible
task 70 prevent the gradual extern
sion Of the disease in this country.

Sparkling Eyes
A Story

Many otherwise beautiful women
have been neglected by nature with
. lack Of glossy. lustrous. dark Eye
brows; MANY Blondes of True Morse
mantype with beautiful eyes cannot
show them off to an advantage
through lack OF dark, heavy, lust
rous eyebrows.
To meet a universal and popular
demand among the fair sex we have
after much experimenting produced
a compound termed ''DABRO" con-
sisting of harmless Organic SUBJ
stances. Essential Oils, Balsams, etc.,
yielding BY our process stiff emul-
sion which will stimulate growth of
the eyebrows and.darken them to the
desired shade.
Harmful Eyebrow Pencils
Should be discarded as they only
tend to envelope your hair with a
film of greasy matter. preventing ac-
cess Of fresh air and thus to your
detriment serve the opposite purpose
for which you had intended them
namely, identifying yourself.
A more modern, absolutely harm
less, hygienic and effective medium

!, The long stock plays which are be-
coming a feature of the moving pic
ture shows, are severely criticized
by the educational authorities and
Others interested inthe welfare OF
children. Most OF the plays in sub
iect matter are on level with the
most sensational dime novels and
others are mediocre variations on
the problem play without saving
grace Of cleyerness. Thousands go
to these shows on account Of The low
admission charges and the effect on
the young is considered so harmful
that the demand for a censorship OF
these films IS growing Most Of
them are of Danish manufacture,
aad many OF them are exported to
other countries.

means that the miners organization
IS endeavorlng to comply with the
admouition, why don't you organize
West Virginia? The operators now
realize tae extent OF the plans OF the
miners and will put up just as
strong a fight to prevent the organ
izatlon OF the state as the miners will
put up to organize.
There is no question but that
there are many coal operators who
have no idea of employing any other
than members OF the miners union,
but they are by no means in the ma
iority.
Despite the fact that the average
price of coal in West Virginia in
1911 was about a cent above that of
1910 many coal companies failed;
some operations have been operated
under receiver while others have
been closed down entirely because
coal can not be produced at the
mouth of the mine and the cars at
the price the coal brings in the
market. other operations are Just
about breaking even, There are
some, however. that are making
money, in fact. more than ever
heretofore on account of the good
price prevailing this year.
This but illustrates the varied
conditions to be found In the coal
districts of the state, and shows
that what may be fair conditions in
one section can not be considered
from financial viewpoint in other
districts. And that the present or
ganlzed sections are the least profit
able to the operators is conceded by
many conversant with conditions
due to the fact that many of the
mines are cid and It is more expen-
sive to gel the coal to the cars raady
for shipment, and despite the fact
that the cost of digging the coal may
be the same as in competitive sec
ticns.
