SCIENCE HAS MADE WAN ~F"- "a
Diseases Which Ravaged Army in 1888
Controlled.

Harper's Weekly: Sixteen years
ago we entered into war with a peo-
pie living In a semitropical, dirty n
insanitary country. Clean young
American men left their homes in the
north and went down in he heat OF
summer to crowded, insanitary n
campments along the coast of Florida
and in Cuba.
Trainload after trainload came back
from the war, never having heard a
single shot fred or seen the seat or
war. They were sick, and many OF
them came home to die from the cpl
demic of typhoid fever which swept
over the steaming encampments.
Today, young Americans are going
down into a semi-tropical country
among unsanitary surroundings. They
may be killed in battle. They may oc-
casionally be afflicted with obscure
tropical diseases, but they will not
'sicken and die from the two worst
scourges of white men in the tropics
malaria and typhoid fever. For wher-
ever compulsory incubation is pos
sible and sanitary precautions can be
enforced, as they can be in the army,
the men Of science, the s~o-called
vivi -~sectionists, have wiped these
two diseases off the earth.

POISONED CIGARETS USED
BY MEXICAN WOMEN

New York Times: In yesterdays
DR.. F. Leroy Silvey of what was meant
by the mysterious use of poisoned
cigarets given to one of our soldiers
at Vera Cruz. But DR.. Silvey is mis-
ent used. 1t is not mariguana (this
is the proper spelling,) for that is only
a narcotic, harmless save when used
in excessive doses through years. This
plant is a species of wild hemp, and
the dried leaves, mixed with tobacco,
seldom alone save by the ~afcionados
of long use, are smoked by the Mexi-
cans to produce the species Of intoxi-
cation peculiar to hemp.
1t is used in the Orient as hasheesh,
blang, gunga, ETC., m is not poison
Gus, though the destinations of its
dreams are such that it may lead in
the end to immoderate Indulgence and
thus, through long-continued abuse,
end in imbecility n death.
Clubs For 1t.
Some of the Mexicans are so fond
of it that they form clubs, scattered
along the border, where they meet,
weekly, to use the m~ariguana. These
men are known as mariguaneros Gus
ers of mariguana.) They seldom in
dulge to excess and, whether from
temperament, or from using diluted
doses, rarely end as described above,
On the other hand this drug seems to
arouse their worst passions, lust and
blood shedding, and the county au-
thorities on the Rio Grande border
are very active in checking the use
of mariguana,

Altitude and Energy

Youths Companions: Two members
OF the Academic DIES Sciences have
made an interesting study of the effect
of high altitude upon muscular effort
BY repeated observations, they found
that at sea level a squirrel confined
in a rotary cake made $500 turns of
the wheel a day. They then took the
animal to the summit of Mont Blanc.
at which height l15,7S1 feet) it made
only 800 turns. When they brought it
down to. sea level again, it made 5000
turns. The experiment shows tia the

Timinn His Hits.

Pittsburgh Chronicle: Little Johnny
had been naughty all day. At last, to
cap the climax, he slapped his small
sister. When father came home from
the office the mother told him of his
sons misdeeds.
I'll next time you tease your sis

The kid sat in silence for a. few mo-

to his father. "The next time I want
to hit sister I'll wait until after din

The Crosby Review: 1t does not al
ways pay for candidates to be worry
ing about anybody's campaign but
their own. Candidates sometimes
have friends who are glad to support
them as long as they stick to their own
knitting. But when they get too
anxious about the other fellow, and
try to drag themselves and all their
friends along with them it looks a lit
tie too clannish and will be remembered
in the future.

that three terms are sufficient for
clerical officers, and with plenty Of
good talent among the country's citi-

one man should have a monopoly on
any office. The law itself makes com
p~ulsory the retirement of sheriff and

that our lawmakers recognized tn 1t
too long a term was not best in these
very responsible positions.

been extended to many of the nonlrri-
gated sections of the West. The more
humid sections Of the Great Plains
area have proved especially adapted
to its production. Eastward Of the

been less successful owing to the pre-
