PUBLIC HEALTH SERVICE ."
WILL AID new orr ~EANS
Agrees to Foot Part of Expense in
Campaign to Eradicate the
Bubonic Plague.

Compelled by the DONNA mt motive of
conducting a competent national de-
fense, the public health service has
agreed to take over all the expenses of
wages for surgeons. experts. ratcatch-
ers and laborers. for continuance of the
campaign in New Orleans to eradicate
bubonic plague. The city of New Or
leans. whose citizens are under enor-
business houses ratproof, will assume
the costs of supplies, of transportation
and pay bounties offered for rats
caught and destroyed. The state prob
ably will do nothing.
This is the conclusion reached fol-
lowing a conference, this morning, be-
tween Gov. Hau of Louisia ma. .Secre-
tary McAdoo and Assistant Secretary
Newton of the Treasury Department.
Mr.. Newton has direction of the public
health service. which has charge OF the
campaign in New Orleans.
The expenses of the government will
be increased by about $4,000 monthly.
1t has been spending money at the rate
Of $4,000 a month since the hrst OF
July. The total expenditures OF the
government from July l to September
Is were $46,S03.32. In the same period
the city of New Orleans has spent s47.-
O4O.41, and the state'c bill has been
$19,999.S0.
The new arrangement is on three
month working basis.
. The agreement will carry the cam
paign up to New Year day, 1915. 1t
will be three months after that, in the
opinion of Surgeon w. C. Rucker. in
charge of the campaign, before there
can be the slightest modification Of the
campaign. Then it may be possible
to withdraw trappers, poisoners and
ratcatchers. The end Of the campaign
will not come under two years, in the
opinion of the public health service.

Espionage There.

Continued advance by the Russian
forces and unsuccessful siege of Os-
| sowjetz by the German artillery is re-
ported in an official message from the
foreign office in Petrograd made pub
lie today by Col. Golejewski military
attacke of the Russian embassy here,
as follows:
September IS. after stubborn fight
ing. our troops have captured the Ger
man positions at AwGustowo and Ko-
petz. September 20 we took the defiles
between the lakes at Simno, Sereje and
LeiDuny.
.'The Germans have been driven back
into the region between Suwalki. Seiny
and Mnrianpol. Our advance continues.
German siege artillery continues the
hom mba rdment of Ossowjetz, but with
out success. At Schutskin and at An
drejew only unimportant skirmishes
are reported
Dispatches announcing that Great
Britain had named Rangoon, Calcutta
and Madras as the only ports through
which foreigners can enter India were
explained at the British embassy az
another precaution against the alleged
widespread campaign of German
espionage in English territory. The
same step has been taken in regard
to the entrance of aliens into the
British Isles. a-a -.

clared that the present unsettled period
was no time to experiment with legis-
lation which would have a tremendous
effect on business in this country. The
section of the Clayton bill prohibiting
interlocking directorates of banks he
characterized as the greatest piece of
folly. pointing out that there was alb
solutely no reason why banker should
not be a member of the boards of
directors of state and a national
bank at the same time.

GOES FAR BACK INTO PAST
Observation Of st. Valentines Day Ia
One Of the Oldest Of Which
There Is Record.

According to one account, the saint
was a bishop Of Rome, under Aureli-
an, in the year 271, and, living in a
very crude age, he pressed SO much
upon his hearers the great duty of
virtuous love and matrimony that he
effected a great reformation among his
flock. Hence he has aver since been
accounted the tutelar saint of love and
marriage.
Color is supposed to have special
significance on st. Valentines day,
and at one time people paid special
attention to this when sending their
valentines. Red meant constant at
fection;" pink, Marry me-" mauve.
Il love you;" yellow, you are jeal-
ous;" green, you are spiteful and
catfish" brown, "Old cross-patch;"
white, How nice looking you arei".
If a swain slept on something be-
longing to his beloved on st. Valen-
tines eve. he was sure to dream of
her and to stand a fair chance Of win
ming her affections.

TRICKY DEALERS CHEAT.
Department of Weights Discovers
Shortages and Saves Money
Even Farmers Offend.

The work of the State Board of
Health along the divisions of pure
food, tests for disease in human speci-
mems, as well as in the elements of
water and air, are interestingly and
extensively told in the annual report
of DR.. R. B. Fitz Randolph. 1t shows
all through the reports the safeguard
ing Of public health and the discovery
of evidence of germs which would de-
stroy life if the work was not done,
suffers in development through lack
of sufficient money. The first thing
noticeable in the report is the state
ment of DR.. Randolph that more room
is absolutely required and consequent
ly a larger appropriation is necessary.
Specimens are examined for traces Of
typhoid fever, for tuberculosis, fora
bies and several other diseases, these
specimens running into the thousands
each month. DR.. Randolph says:
THE laboratory should be in a posi-
ton to enlarge its work by including
as a routine procedure for syphilis. or
blood for typhoid in early and obscure
cases of culture methods, of blood for
CHAMBERS, and the examination of ma
terial for septic infections recurring
the use of serums and vaccines." All
this work is done without expense.
Any physician can send to the labora.
tory suspected specimens and get by
return mail almost, by wire if request
ed, the information necessary to guide
him in curing the sick and saving life,
the state paying the expense. DR.. Ran
dolph asks that this laboratory be
placed in a separate building. Down
the drain pipes of the Capitol building
daily go enough infectious matter to
kill all of Trenton's inhabitants. Then
there is the ~incinerating plant in
which the bodies of young guinea pigs
are burned after death, little martyrs
to save lives of human beings. DR..
Randolph says that the situation is
dangerous to the health, even the life,
of many.
The first bill of the session to get
through to final passage and sigma
ture by the Governor was that validat-
ing b acts OF all juries which ave
been in operation since the passage
of the jury reform law by the last
Legislature, which has now been de
clared constitutional but which had
not been in operation because steps
had been taken to test it, and there
was a belief that it would be declared
unconstitutional. Governor Fielder
was especially interested in this meas
ure, which was regarded by him and
others as necessary to wipe out all
questions of doubt and possible legal
action in connection with work which
had been done by grand and petit
juries while settlement of the contro-
versy over the Chancello Sheriff law
was pending.
