the supreme court Of Nebraska In
volved the sentence Of father for
from one to ten years in the penlten-
tiary for criminal negligence, because

the weather was bitter cold, he per-
mitted the fire to go out, snow drlfted

days, when amputatiop was found to
be necessary and the child died OF
blood poisoning. The defendant was

inal negligence in failing to provide
medical care after he discovered the
frozen condition of the child's feet

held that for parent having special
charge Of an infant child culpably to
neglect it so that death ensues as

OFFICER CARROLL CURED
OF BAD CASE OF ECZEMA

He writes from Baltimore as follows:
II am a police officer and had long
suffered from bad case of Eczema of
the hands and had to wear gloves all
the time.
Il was under treatment by eminent
physicians for a long time without
success. Last summer Hancock's Sui
phur Compound and Ointment were
recommended to me and my hands i'm
proved on the first application. After
a weeks trial I went to the Johns
Hopkins Hospital to have my hands
treated with X-Rays. Under their ad-
vice, I continued to use your Sulphur
Compound and Ointment~for or
weeks, and at the end Of that time my
hands were cured. / cannot recon-

Ancon, G.. ALI the world gives to
Col. w. C. Gorgas, chief sanitary off,
Ger. and his assistants full credit for
the wonderful work they have accom-
plished in making the Panama canal
zone hea1thful and keeping it so. All
the world that knows gives equal r
greater credit to those American, Ital-
ian and English doctors and soldiers
who sacrificed their health and in
yellow fever and malaria, the two ter
rors of tropfc America, are transmit
ted by the bite of mosquitoes. It is
not my intention to tell over again
the latter story. The devotion OF
those brave men actually made pos
sible the building of the Panama
canal, for their work has been TAX
en- full advantage of by Colonel Cor
gas and his forces, and the zone is
now one Of the most healthful places
In the world.
Before the coming of the Amer
leans the isthmus was a veritable pest
hole. The French canal builders and
their workmen and the laborers on
!. the Panama railway died like flies,
usually of malaria or yellow fever.
Today a fatal case Of malaria Is a
rarity, the more malignant form being
almost unknown, and not a single case
of yellow fever has originated in the
zone in several years.
The Stegomyia mosquito, the yellow
fever bearer, has not been exceed
ingfy hard to exterminate because it
breeds and lives only near human
habitations. When the Americans
had substituted a regular water sys-
tenn and underground sewers for the
rain water barrels and the open
bitches in Colon, Panama and the
other towns, and had fumigated all
the dwellings, Stegomyia was prac-
tically extinct. That job of fumigat-

ing, by the way, raised a great row
among the ignorant Inhabitants of
Panama. They could not understand
why they should be all moved out
into the street and their houses filled
with evil-smelling fumes, and they
were inclined to offer forcible re-
sistance until the zone police took
the matter in hand.
Much more difficult has been. the
task of Graduating malaria, for the
Anopheline mosquito, which makes a
speciality of carrying this disease, is
widespread and of several varieties.
It is the female only that bites, and
she needs blood-preferably red
blood-for the development Of her
eggs. The eggs are deposited in a
slow moving or stationary water and
hatch out into little larvae or "wrig-
.glers." At least once in two minutes
the 1arva must come to the surface
to breathe, and that is where the san
itary department gets 1t, usually.
AS one wanders about the zone he
sees at the headwaters of every
SLT0dul, u1ICu VI OLuOI WdI0F course,
at frequent intervals along its banks,
and at the edge Of every pool, big
tin can or a key. From this recep-
tacle- there Is a constant drip, drip,
drip of larvacide, black, oily-looking
compound of crude carbolic acid,
caustic soda and resin. This spreads
out over the water, an iridescent
film, and when little Anopheline
1arva comes up for air he meets a
swift death. To replenish these cans
Of larvacide a small army Of Jamai-
cans is kept travelling about the zone,
and others go around with tanks of
the compound strapped on their
backs. spraying every pool they come
to.
Another measure Of determination
has been the draining and filing in of
swampy ground and the Strengthening
and clearing Of water courses so that
their flow will be too swift for Mad
anne Anopheline. The work of drain
ing and filling has been extensive and
near the Pacific end of the canal has
resulted In the reclamation OF large
tracts Of land for building sites.

asmx being aroused by he..appearanee of Mr. Mullins. All spoke briefly along the lines of their address in the Eleventh earlier in the evening and each made a decided impression.
 When MT. Donnelly was touching up the administration on the question .of Peter Whites engagement, he re marked that MT. White had overlook ed only $5 of the $2O, 1000 appropria- ton. A voice from the crowd inter rupted.: Leave the experts; give us the amateurs" whereat there was much nlirth.
 MT. Mullins reference to the work on the streets in the Twelfth district was particularly interesting to the audience. With much emphasis, he repeated his claim that 75 cents would have allowed the contractors a fair profit on which the city paid $1.20 a yard He also deprecated the closing avenue at the same time.
 Edward J. Reilly presided at the rally in the Fourth district, the last to be visited by the candidates. Though it was 9;45 o'clock before they arriv- ed, the big store selected for the meeting was jammed to the doors and many were on the street Former Mayor Buckingham took a few telling cracks at what he termed the extraVa- gance of the present administration. He urged the burying of all primary differences and the united support for the Dem n1ocratic ticket, Attorney w w. Bent followed with a rousing speech. in which he urged the Fourth district to return Daniel B. Walker to the Common Council s5}
 Alderman Walker provoked a lot of enthusiasm when he said that the best way for his friends to manifest their friendship toward him would be by following his example and voting the straight Democratic ticket Let us banish the rumors that there is a split in the Democracy of the Fourth district" he said. MT. Walker was given a big reception.
 Peter Hummel1 made a characters tic address in which he urged the support of the Democratic ticket ''I am out for Fred Mullins because Fred, like myself, is an honest man. said MT. Hunme11 amid cheers.
 When MT. Donnelly was addressing the voters. he dwe1t with emphasis on the loyalty of Alderman Daniel p. Walker. He said he had enjoyed Mir Walkers support in many campaigns and MT. Walker has yet to receive one dollar of John M. DonnelIy's money.
 MT. Mullins, after delivering an ad- dress similar to those in other dis tricts, reminded the voters of the necessity of electing a majority of the Common Council. He spoke of the fine thoroughfare that State street is derman Walker for the part he had played in this work. ''If I am elected mayor, I want to have Dan Walker helping me in the city's work said MT Mullins at which there was a big cheer.

BIRD CAUSE OF
WOMAN s WRATH
WooDPECkER KNOCKS ON THE
METAL ROOF; WOMAN AN.
sWERs TELEPHONE.

! Much has been written about the
tricks of the parrot, whose pranks
OF imitation have fooled the ice man,
the milkman, huckster and the junk
dealer, causing each at times to stop
and to make unnecessary trips and
go on fools errands when passing
the talking bird. Few, If any, have
read or heard of the woodpecker
playing such tricks. Nevertheless, q
certain housewife of Ottumwa has
personal knowledge of such thing.
This gaily plumaged bird caused her
considerable annoyance recently,
and only her sense of humor saved
her from becoming very angry Her
husband told the story to some Of
his friends shortly afterward, but
cautioned all that the matter was
sub rosa, as he feared that his vito
! would hear 1t. l
He said she had answered the
phone several times without success
and in order to do 1t had come from
the rear Of the upper part OF the
house to the front Of the lower sec.
ton Of the dwelling. She was house
cleaning in the upper part OF their
house and the frequent ringing OF
the phone bell did not add to her
pleasure. Her husband states that It
tended to make her somewhat testy,
and that after a few such visits the
telephone central was given piece
Of the lady's mind for SO many false
calls. Her husband in telling OF the
instance took keen delight, for he
attempts to perpetrate a practical
Joke upon his wife occasionally, but
admits with little success, hence
when the telephone incident was
told him by his helpmeet, he could
appreciate 1t.
At intervals as she worked up
stairs some distance from the phone,
she would hear metallic buzz
which, Judging from the location Q.
the phone, she was sure was call
for her. Repeatedly she dropped her
work to answer the phone, only to
have central in her sweetest man
ner remark: hummer? hummer:
On, no, no one rang you"
When this happened some seven
or eight times, the housewife grew
yexed and made up her mind that
central would hear from her. She fg-
nored a few of the rings and then
started for the phone with her mind
made up. Just before she reached the
phone the buzzing started again, and
looking from the window she beheld
the cause Of her annoyance.
Perched on the ridge of the roof
Of a nearby school building sat a
woodpecker. He had been doing his
best repeatedly to penetrate the
metal cornice Of the roof with his
beak and thus caused the noise that
gave rise to all the trouble. Although
lust about as near justifiable rage
az a person could we'll be, the sense
of humor possessed by the house
wife saved the day. She watched the
bird and then she laughed and re-
turned upstairs. The joke was on
her /
