HEALTH ON THE 1srrHlus.

Memphis. Commercial Appeal: We
marvel at the dams and locks Of
the Panama canal and the wonderful
engineering skill that brought them
into existence, but the sanitary con-
ditions in the once death hole of fe-
YER have an equal claim on our adj
miration.
The white population Of the canal
one is about 1890, and the astound.
ing announcement comes that during
the month Of August of this year there
was not a single death among them.
When we go back a few years and
remember the mortality among those
who began the French canal-how
they died, not by the dozens. but by
the hundreds "by the Shagrees river

an Offset, We take off our hats in a
recognition, that has in it an element
of reverence. to the sanitary corps
that worked side by side with the en-
gineers. II there is anywhere in the
world an area such as the canal zone,
with a like population. where there
has not been a death in a month, we
do not know Of it.
While Gccthals was proving that
there was nc problem Of engineering
which American genius could not
solve, Gorgas was demonstrating to
the world that sanitation, and not cli-
mate. was the open sesame to good
health conditions. The lesson he
taught the world, emphasized by this
August report Of no deaths, Is worth
many times the money price Of the

When the Rev. Charles F. Blaisdell,

hood Welfare Association Sunday
afternoon how he once had a former
convict arrested for refusing to work,
he clashed with the dominant senti
ment Of the hoboes composing the
organization and almost started riot
DR.. Blaisdell, continuing his dis
course, was telling Of a certain rail-
road in the southwest that induced
half-breed Indians to ride over the
line with fruitless promises Of work,
when the spark he had kindled in
one breast with his story OF having
the work-despising convict arrested,
broke into flame.
Down with the rich class and up
with the poor class" shouted q mem
Der, mounting on the speakers table.
Why didn't you have the officials OF
that road arrested instead Of poor
convict Just released from the bull
pen?"
His objections were drowned by a
champion of the minister, who shout
ed the first member down. THE
reverend was right shouted his
champion. Maybe If some OF you
fellers were put in the bull-pen for a
few hours you wouldn't be SO ready
to start something
James Eads How, millionaire hobo
and head Of the organization, quieted
the trouble and the excited members
resumed their chairs.
DIR. Blaisdell recited how some
yeras ago while at Jefferson City, go

promised aid to the convicts who were
to be released, telling them he would
give them six weeks employment
and food and clothing until they got
a start.

DR.. Blaisdel said the chapel room

the present one was not up to the
everyday needs of the convicts. He
said 1t was rather peculiar that this
chapel should be neglected. while SO

of dollars are being erected.
