Who Brady \
ONE OF
Matthew Brady Goes to the Front

One of the most interesting stories Of the Civil
War is that of Matthew Brady, the first photogra-
pher to follow the events of any war with his cam
era. Brady was famous New York artist, whose
studios were thronged by the fashionable and prom
inent folk Of the whole country in the ffties and
sixties. But when the call to arms came the excite
ment of the tremendous conflict was too much for
him. and he turned his back upon a life of ease and
opulence for one Of privation and danger at the
front And for what? For the privilege of being
the first man to take pictures of actual war. The
camera had been perfected only few years pre-
vously, and seeing the enormous and unique value
10 history such series of pictures would possess he
placed bis precious camera upon light wagon,
entered the enemys country in the days of 61, and
during the succeeding months braved every form
of death, by bullet hunger disease that he might
obtain pictures of every phase Of war, as it I'M
folded day by day. How well he succeeded CRATE
full Nation is at last recognizing His wonderful
pictures are National monument to the genius
and courage of remarkable man.

Pictures Lost for twenty-five Years

Naturally Matthew Brady impoverished HIM
self BY the end of the war. \ small part. fragment
Of his collection of negatives went to the Govern
ment at Washington. The main part was sold for
debt Brady himself did not know what had be
come Of them. The frail plates bearing this pre-
cous record of time when the Nation in an
agony of upheaval, when shells were screaming and
men were dying in order that the Union might be
preserved-all these fragile glass plates lay neg
lected and forgotten III an old garnet And there
they remained for a quarter of century. Then at
last they came to light again. Collectors who real
ized the nature Of these negatives Immediately
graSped their tremendous significance to the cour-
try at large and inaugurated great countrywide
movement to obtain all these and other wartime
pictures identify and preserve them. \ fortune
was spent in this quest but after many months
labor ON the part of large body Of trained work
ers and cooperation by patriotic societies, officials
and interested persons everywhere the work IS at
last complete. Just at the time when the scmi-ceu-
tennial is being celebrated. Truly, Matthew Brady
builded better than he knew!

Was and What +
THE STRANGEST ADVENTURES
OF THE CIVIL WAR
The War Department Co-operates

When the main part of the Brady pictures came
to light it was at once seen that these wonderful
views were incomplete. Here and there gaps were
discovered which indicated that there must be more
pictures somewhere else. The War Department at
Washington was appealed to, and search among
its archives revealed the missing scenes and por-
traits They were the ones which had been taken
over from the photographer at the close of the war
The Government officials were also quick to realize
the importance of uniting the two collections, and
gave their consent to reproducing the negatives in
their possession The entire series made possible by
the aid Of the War Department. and also drawing
upon invaluable private data in all parts of the
country-at once the most authentic and only direct

ness for the camera is absolutely impartiat-may.
therefore, be vouched for as authentic and official.
Not the least important feature of this collection is
the fact that every picture has been identified, and
now bears full description of the scene or the
principals with which it is concerned. These are
The ONLY war scenes which have this absolutely in
dispensabe feature.

Captops Pied Piper Has Two-Year Contract

THE proudest boast Of Prof. Louis
i Hirsch, is that he Is rough on
rats" Unofficially, he is known as the
"Pied Piper OF Washington" ever
since he signed contract with the
government to rid the capitol and 9TH
er federal buildings at Washington or
rats, mice, reaches, and other vermir.
and to keep the buildings permanently
so rid.
Prof. Hirsch-his title Is not merely
assumed for business glamor, for he Is
graduate of German university and
speaks several languages f1uently and
to perfection--has two years con-
tract with the government, as we'll as
a contract to supply his chemicals to
the various departments.
The professor has simple method
of his own for getting rid OF rats. He
does not let them die in their hoes or
in the building. He leads them G@t
like the Pied Piper of Hamelin, and In
duces them to die outside their hiding
places. He first attracts the attention
of the rats by giving them something
they like. AS soon as a few find the
choice food, they communicate the
fact to the whole rat colony.
Then he gives them some more, to
make sure they have all got bite oi
the appetizing dainty. The next steT
is to feed them the accustomed bait

Must Kill Rats to Get Rid of Plague Danger

it would be preferable to resort to the
more rapid means of passive immuniz-
alton by the use of anti-plague serum
either alone or in connection with in
oculation. Workers in plague labora-
tories and hospitals, rat catchers, fu-
migators, ETC., should be inoculated at
least once every six months.
The use of anti-plague serum for
the immunization of whole commu-
nifty is altogether impracticable, be-
cause of it's excessive cost, the limit
ed supply available, the short duration
of the immunity conferred, and the ex-
cessive discomfort and actual danger
accompanying the repeated admins
tration of serum at such intervals as
would be necessary to maintain i'm
inunity.
The governments conclusions indi-
cate that If the country is to be kept
free from plague next summer. the
work of rat determination must be
carried on INCREASINGLY, regardless of
the cold weather.

ated living plague bacilli. Passive i'm.

BANANA TREE IN EDEN
EASTERN LEGEND SUBSTITUTES
I'll FOR THE Apple.
That 1t Was In a Bunch Of This Fruit
the Serpent That Tempted Eve HID
Itself, Is Very Widespread
Belief.

There exists legend relative to the
they believed the banana to be the tree
of the source of good and evil, in a
bunch Of whose fruit the serpent that
tempted Eve hid itself, and they add
that when Adam and Eve became
ashamed of their nakedness they Gov
cred themselves with the leaves of this
plant Beyond all doubt this legend
had some influence upon the minds
of those early botanical classifiers
who designated two SPECIES of the
plant by the names of Musa paridisia-
ca and Musa sapientium-Fruito of Par
adise, Fruit of knowledge, says
writer in the National Geographic Mag
azine.
The origin of the banana is given
as India, at the foot Of the Himalayas,
where it has been cultivated since re-
mote antiquity. It's origin In the new
world is as doubtful as the origin Of
the American Indian. Natural to
Asia and Africa, where more than 20
distinct species of the genius are.
known, 1t is said to have been brought
first to America from Spain, early in
the sixteenth century, and planted in
the island of San Domingo, whence it's
spread was rapid throughout the sur
rounding islands and the mainland.
This has never been automatically
established, however, and some au-
thorities include the banana among
the articles that formed the base of
the food supply of the Incas and the
Aztecs before the arrival of the Span
iards. Certain it is that throughout
the whole of meridional America there
is strong tradition that at least two
Species of the plantain were cult
waited long before the coming of the
Europeans. Furthermore, it is singu-
lar that in all the languages indigen-
GUS to the region where the banana
appears that plant has a special name,
not proceeding from the conquerors,
as was the case with the names of
GUS articles introduced into America
after its discovery.
Grown over the entire extent of the
meridian of the earth, the fruit of the
banana today forms, in large part,
the principal food of a majority Of
the people living under the tropical
zone. Several species and numerous
varieties of the plant appear through
out tropical America, but it is cult
waited for commercial purposes in
appreciable quantities only along the
Atlantic border, from southern Mex
leo to Colombia, in Jamaica, Cuba, San
Domingo, and the Bahamas, the far
western markets of the United States
being plentifully supplied from the
Hawaiian islands and Mexico's South
Pacific coast.
