NOT HALARIAL
SAYS CLARKE
Cairo Free From Infected Insects OF
Swamps and Boys.

Cairo aud vicinity is not 4
malarial community" so says DR..
W. C. Clarke, city health officer OF
Cairo.
we do not suffer from malaria
but from auto-intoXication.
Auto-intoNication is caused by slug
gishness of the liver which is peeu
liar to this climate. Malaria does
not prevail in any community. state
or comfy which is properly drained.
For instance Michigan and Wis
consin were formerly universally
known as malaria states. After the
woodmen arrived, cut down the tim
Der and drained the boys the two
states were at once transformed into
delightful communities
The same change has taken
place in parts of Illinois and Indiana
Malarial communities are marked
by the prevalence of chills and fever
How many people in Cairo and vi
'einity suffer from these ailments2
Next comes the question of mosqui-
toes and their capacity as disease
BEARERS. The mosquito, to be a
germ bearier must breed and infest
disease breeding places such as boys
and the swamps and stagnant pools
which are often seen under old
houses
Though Cairo is now and has been
infested by hords of insects for the
past six months, they are not of the
disease breeding variety as shown by
examinations which have been made
Michigan and Wisconsin are even
now infested by mosquitoes, but are
regarded as harmless by the special
lists OF those states. According to
tests which have been made by Or.
Clarke and other reliable physicians
of Cairo within the past ten years,
malaria has been on the decline I'M
til the vicinity is now practically
non-malarial Those who complain
of aches aud pains will do we'll to
consult a physician in regard to the
condition of their livers before they
blame malaria for it all.

New York, July 23 - Representa-
tives of the Erie railroad, which re-
| fused to participate in the conference
with the trainmen and conductors or
| CARNATIONS relative to the threatened
strike OF railroad employees, had con.
| ference at the Hotel Manhattan with
| the board of mediators and arbitrator
appointed by President Wilson to
bring about a settlement of the dis
pute.
The board invited ]. C. Stuart, vice
president OF the Erie, to discuss the
position of the road and was told the
situation required action at once.
Little was known about this confer,
ence, but it was said much depended
upon the outcome. 1t was asserted
| just before the meeting that If the
Erie consented to come into the con.
| ference strike could be averted, but
that if the Erie held out a strike was
| inevitable. Officials of the railroad en-
ployes were reported to have said that
they would hold back the strike it an
| effort was made to bring the Erie into
| the conference.
While the mediators, Judgs w. l.
Chambers, G. w w. Hangar and Mar.
tin A. Knapp, were meeting the Erie
representatives, the general commit.
tee of the two labor organizations were
comforting at the Broadway Central
hotel Lee and Garretson were at the
| Herald Square hotel anticipating q
conference between the mediators and
ten representatives of the two labor
organizations, five representing tbs
trainmen and FIVE the conductors.
1t became known that w. G. Lee
president of the Brotherhood of Rail
way Trainmen. during the conferences
between the mediators and the repre-
sentatives of the labor organizations
said the withdrawal from the proceed
ings of the Erie railroad was because
j. Pierpont Morgan & Co. and two 9th.
er banking institutions had so order
ed 1t.
Mr.. Lee further stated that the Erie
would return to the conference com,
mittee of managers and readily agree
TO the arbitration of the demands
made by its employees or abide by an
award if an order for such action was
received by the railroad from
Morgan & Co. and the bankinx tl1zI
tutions which were not named.
1t was further charged by Mr.. Les
during the conference with the media
tors that the conference committee OF
managers approved and consented to
the withdrawal of the Erie from the
proceedings and that the purpose OF
withdrawal was to make the Erie
