ONE CENT a DAY FOR HEALTH

Every one has been interested in the
wonderful work being one in Panama
in the construction of the canal. Start
ling as have been the results Of the
work of the engineers and builders,
the work of the sanitary department
has been wen more wonderful. In a
region noted as the most unhealShful
in the world, in which our predeces-
sors, the French, were unable to sue
coed because they could not keep the
workers alive, American army sur
geons, by the use of scientific facts
known to all, have succeeded in lower
ing the death-rate among American
residents far below that Of our most
favored American communities. Ac-
cording to Colonel Gorgas, the chief
sanitary officer Of the canal zone, who
recently discussed this question in The
Journal of the American Medical as
ISOLATION. the death-rate for 1911
among 10,4S9 Americans was only 4.4s
per thousand. While this result has
been mainly due to the control Of yell
low fever and malaria. and while it Is
true hat the American population
consisted of picked individuals, largely
Of educated men and women In the
prime of life, yet even with all these
conditions recognized, the record is a
remarkable n and is probably with.
out a rival. And all this. says Colonel
Gorgas. has been accomplished at an
expense ging one ccnt per day
for each individual. If this result
can be secured at this cost in the
center of a tropical jungle. what would
moi a similar expenditure do for our
American cities? One cent ii day is
what the average American pays for
a daily newspaper. 1t is one-ffth the
cost of one fve-cent cigar. 1t is one
fifth the price of a daily street-car
ride. 1t is onc-ffth the cost of adj
mission to a moving-picture show. 1t
is one-ffth of what we pay for a glass
of soda-water or a package of chew
ing-gum. Who would say that the
expenditure of this amount would be
any burden to this rich and extraya-
gan nation? And yet it is the cost OF
life itself. Is one cent a day too much
to pay to protect the life and health
Of an American citizen?

fire. swept Dayton. Ohio. John H.'I'at-
terson arose with the tide to the level
OF events.
Responsibilities gravitate to the mel
who can shoulder them, and dire diff
ticulties are taken care of by men who
know how.
Patterson is the man. more than
ann other, who brought cosmos out
of chaos.
Here's to Leonidas at the Bridge,
with his body full of spearheads, tram
pied on by the mob until his flesh was
ground into the mire.
Here's to Calico, who said. 1T moves

Here's L Jim Bludsoe, who held her
nose TO the bank until every gaIoot
was ashore.
Here's to Nathan Hale, for the rope
that frightened and cut off his breath
did not destroy his soul.
Here's to old John Brown in the
roundhouse a, Harper's Ferry, fighting
against insurmountahle odds.
Here's to the last of the old guard
at Waterloo, who. having fired the last
of his ammunition. stood, with broken
sword in hand and hurled at the en-
envy the only weapon he had to offer
"a word unprintable.
So my heart goes out to the men
who are when emergency calls-lnen

Sheridan swear like a pirate until
streaks of profanity trailed the air on
that ride to Winchester at the break
of day?
Grant drank whiskey? Sure. But
he did something else.
The question still is, Can we afford
to destroy men of initiative?
There is plenty of precedent for it,
God knows. History is only the record
of abuses and t%yrannies and misun-
derstandings and punishn1ents.
SO here's to John II. Patterson and
the county Jail at Troy. Ohio. Ii the
government sends him there, it should
be a place Of pilgrimage.

FOR BIG FAIR
Are to Be Rum to Clarksburg
by Baltimore and Ohio
Railroads.

Special excursions will be run over
all branches of the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad entering Clarksburg
for the Central West Virginia Fair to
be held on the magnificent new fair
grounds in the beautiful eastern su-
burbs OF the city September /. ?, 8
and 4. There will be extra trains
and extra coaches in order to accom-
modate the huge crowds that will be
in attendance this year.
Arrangements have also been made
by the officers of the fair association
and OF the Monongahela Valley Trac-
ton Company to have a number of
extra trolley cars running day and
night directly to the fair grounds.
Several trains Of trolley cars VIII be
brought over from Fairmont for the
purpose and every effort will be made
to have ample car service for all.
Extensive Improvements to the
trolley system east Of the city during
the last year have brought the fair
grounds nearer to the city and greatly
Increased the traffic facilities. The
cars now run directly to the fair
grounds through the new Goff addi-
ton, and additional trackage and
switches enable the traction company
to give a continuous car service.

FUSE LIGHTED
But 1t Goes Out Just before
Spark Reaches Dynamite
in Sticks.
CIV AsseeIArEe eaEss,

NEW YORK, Aug. ga piece OF
bright coIored cambria was the prin-
cipal clue today in the investigation
of the city hall bomb mystery- The
cambria was wrapped around the four
sticks OF dynamite found yesterday
In an airway directly below Mayor
Gaynor's window.
The bomb was anything but hoax
for the fuse had been lighted and
had gone out just before the spark
reached the decorator. An expIo-
sion would have caved in the side CT
the building.
The detectives, however, could not
decide whether the dynamite was
meant for the mayor or for some
one in the marriage license bureau
or was planted as a protest against
the city government in general.

Are Found at Midnight in One

Room.

INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 22.-Roy
Gross. o. and an unidentified woman
are dead here as result of what is
believed to have been a suicide pact.
Gross was dead when found and the
woman was unconscious and died sew
era1 hours later at the city hospital
without revealing her identity.
Earl Pritchard. in whose home the
tragedy occurred, after being awak-
ened shortly after midnight by the
odor of poison found the young cou-
pie lying with their arms around each
other. Two glasses stood beside the
bed. the lovers apparently having pre-
pared the fatal poison and after last
embrace swallowed it
Gross roomed at the home Of Mr..
Pritchard and had been there only
ten days. He had said little about
himself and never mentioned any OF
his companions. The woman who
was found with Gross so far as
could be learned had never been seen
at the house until last night.
The woman was later identified as
Mrs. Hazel Steward, whose husband
James steward, was unaware that
she loved Gross.
