GOOD HEALTH AT PANAMA

The splendid tribute. paid him by the American Medical Association must have been gratifying to the pro- fessional pride of Surgeon-General Colonel Gorgas, who now holds the rank of Brigadier- General. Never since the Civil War has an appoint ment been made that caused more general satisfaction among the Amer ican people. As organizer of the work and chief of the Sanitary Department on the Panama Canal Zone, the region thereabouts, long regarded as a pla
 que spot, has been transformed into an attractive home place at all sea sons of the year. It is a .demonstra- tion that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, which has been the keynote of progress in the medi
 cal profession. The work done by Colonel Gorgas in Panama would seem to prove that every section of the earth can be made fit for human residence, provided the cost of pro- per sanitation is expended thereon. He has shown that health can be fur nished to municipalities and commu- mites at certain cost, as with any other commodity, and that the respon- sibility for high death-rate today rests directly upon those in authority who refuse to provide funds to check the onslaught of disease.-"Affairs at Washington" Joe Mitchell Capple in National Magazine for June.

VANDERBILT

The Vanderbilt board of Trust has had meeting and elected members in accordance with the decree of the Court recently rendered. The Board adopted resolutions, declaring the po- l;cv of the institution and expressing ;ts view of the future work it hoped to accomplish. There is no doubt . creat work for Vanderbilt and it will remain great institution.
 There is also no doubt about the fact that the Methodist Church will establish an institution or institutions in the South and finally sever itself as a Church with Vanderbilt University. The decree of the Court is thorough lv incompatible with the relations of the Church to the institution in the past.

If there was ever oil poured on troubled water, Jack Maloney, the new Secretary of the State Central Democratic Committee is that oil. Jack is chancery clerk of Pulaski county, but this has not rendered him unfit for committee duties. Jack likewise owns a suburban home, and has succeeded in raising one. onion and one bean on the hillside in Pulaski Heights. This should make him es- pecially strong with the farmer ele- ment of the party. Secretary Malo- ney is the most courteous man ever selected to serve on the state com mittee, not even excepting the suave Bruce T. Bullion, who served during the regime of George w. Donaghey. Mir. Maloney will be able to cement factions, he will down all strife and numerous and sundry other miracles that need performing. Here's to Jack Maloney, prince among princes!

LETTER TO JUDGE THOMAS
HON. J. M. THOMAS.

Dear Judge:-I see in County pa pers you desire an opinion from the people in regard to the road proposi- tion. wish to say oppose to bond issue and also opposed to undertake to macadamize our county roads. l Don't believe that the Farmers are financially able to stand any more tax than we already have.
 Judge, think about it. We have a great many farmers in the County and it is all they can do to make a short living and hold their farms. Just put little more on them and they will have to give up their farms. Our roads are improving and believe if we will have patience with the present system, in few years we will have fairly good roads.
 l am speaking in behalf of the Farmers. With Macadamized roads there would be but few farmers with a team they could drive on the road on account of automobiles and motor cycles. l would prefer to pull through the mud than to pass these things with my team. The burden of build ing these roads would be on the farm CTS because the merchants and other business men would mark up their goods to cover all expense and the farmer can not mark up anything for expense.
 Yours respectfully,
 Calvin Jones.

Harry Myers, for a few score times Republican candidate for Governor, has a plan for making prohibition practical, that is not half bad. He proposes to have law passed making 1t felony to sell liquor on credit. When this has been accomplished he would have the government present every voter with an automobile, re- Quire him to keep it up without con- tracting debt. This would so bank upt the voter that he could not buy booze and pay for it, thus putting the saloons out of business. No further lcomment is necessary.

Bags filed with special form OF lamp

a few minutes. When detonated they
explode with the force of dynamite,
but when lighted with match they
burn quietly and slowly. The cost is
much less than that Of dynamite;
much less carbon dioxide is given of
and there is no danger from misfire,
as the oxygen will evaporate quickly
if not exploded at once.

Doctor Osler. the enemy of old men
as he was once classified, says that
the carnage from the present war is
not so great as 1t seems. With 800
wounded men in the hospital at OK
ford, only one death occurred, and that
from lockjaw. The doctor thinks that
this war will establish a new record
for low rate Of mortality from wounds.
He attributes this to the antiseptic
effects Of high-speed bullets and to the
efficiency Of the field hospitals. He
says also that he has seen no wounds
caused by dumdum bullets Field sur
geons have said the same thing.
