of their systems and the symptoms
are no longer acute. Throughout the
rural districts in Panama may be
seen many persons afflicted with en-
larged spleen, which is said TO De
simply the result of chronic malaria.
Rather Drink Rain
At any rate. many of the Panama
mans are even opposed TO drinking the
pure water with which the United
states government supplies them;
They prefer to capture rain water and
keep it in earthen jars, and these
Jars form an ideal breeding place for
the ever-present mosquito. Thus, con-
tinual effort is necessary to keep the
pest down in the city of Panama,
where it should not exist at all
AS a result of these strenuous and
unrelenting measures against the mos
quito. the indigenous malarial rate IN
Panama has been reduced to such q
low figure that the health department
officials like to state it as practically
none" Whenever the people become
severely i'll they always journey TO
Panama, so that there Is always more
or less imported sickness, but this
cannot be charged to health conditions
on the zone.
Fever and Plague
The other two diseases TO be COM
batted, in addition to malaria, are yell
low tever and bubonic plague. There
have been no Indigenous cases OF
either of these diseases in the Canal
Zone since 1906. In order to fully
safeguard Uncle Sans employees
against the menace of plague, 1t Is
now the purpose of the health depart
1;f Of a
absolutely ratproof. Already the great
er part of the streets of Panama have
been paved by the government, the
whole town has been severed with
concrete and tiled drains, and many
of the worst quarters have been de-
stroyed and rebuilt in a more substan-
tial style.
A law has now been passed which
prohibits the making of any change
in n building in Panama without the
consent of the health department
Thus. whenever an application is
made to alter or rebuild a house. the
health department refuses TO give its
consent unless the house is made
absolutely sanitary and ratproof. As
the structures in the poorer quarters
of Panama City are all OF frame and
very poorly built, 1t is only n matter
of time until they will all be replaced
with ratproof structures.
One of the great difficulties en-
countered by the health department is
due to the native love of crowded con-
ditions. Real estate men in both
Panama City and Colon have found
that one large house with great
number of small rooms will rent fol
a great deal more than several small
houses with the same number OF
rooms. The Panamanian and likewise
the West Indian black. want plenty
neighbors right handy" Las Sabanas
Cocoa Grove and other poor quarters
OF Panama City are the most amazing
spectacles of swarming and odorifcr-
Gus humanity that can be found any
where.
One of the most interesting phases
of the sanitary work on the Canal
Zone is the light which II has thrown
upon the question of how the tropics
affect white men. For long years they

A Secret Service Message.

A Secret Service Message.
Neal turned to Annette. Good" he
exclaimed, you're safe at any rate.
Where is my mother-where are the
rest?"

about him.
This mutiny is over" he said, in a
tone of relief.
He was quite right. The mutiny
was over, but with disastrous results.
Meals commanding officer lay on the
deck with a fractured skull. The cap.
tain and the mate of the fruit steamer
Coronado were dead or nearly so, and
the decks were strewn with disabled,
bleeding mutineers.
Now come with me-" said Neal He
waved his hand and small squad OF
his companions joined him. He sought
and found his mother and her fright.

Irene Courtier. He led them aft and
placed a guard over them.

rest. You, too. Annette. I've got my
work cut out for me for some hours. "
Annette shook her head. Not until

Neal nodded to one Of his compan.

The orders were brief and to the
point:
You take charge of the steamer.
We are sending help"
He took charge of the steamer not
only because he was ordered, but be.

Inside of half an hour he had his
own lieutenants wounds carefully and
scientifically dressed-had all his

the ship completely.
He signaled for further orders, for
the Coronado was now resting quietly
at anchor, and he got his orders:

BY midnight they had reached the
nearest port-had docked. BY mid.
night he had landed all his passengers
and had reported considerable prog

Ike this:

arms and ammunition at Martinique

tlor. Follow at oree. Investigate, ar

Next morning this news had filtered
into Neal. He took it to the homely
little hotel where Annette and his
mother and their party had been har-
bored for the night. He dropped into
a chair.

them before they had a chance to be-
come acclimated. Then came the
wonderful discoveries as to the cause
and prevention of tropical diseases in
Cuba and the Philippines, and the re-
markable work of Colonel Gorgas at
Panama, which has made the Canal
Zone one of the most sanitary places
in the world.
Colonel Gorgas has stated 1t to be
his belief that when the tropical dis
eases have been eliminated white men
can live just as we'll in the tropics as
anywhere else. Lieutenant Colonel
Charles f, Mason, who is Colonel
Gorgas' successor on the Canal Zone,
and who has also had a long eX-
perience in the tropics, dissents from
this view of the matter. He points out
that the Panamanians, who are not
an indigenous people but largely of
Spanish and Negro blood, have been
decidedly affected by their life in the
tropics. They mature quickly, women
in the interior often marrying at the
age of fifteen, while women of twen-
ty-tive look to be forty. Both men
and women are decidedly old before
they are fifty Life is telescoped, as
it were, both maturity and death be-
ing hastened. Furthermore, indo-
lence and irritabiltiy are marked
characteristics of the natives.
Colonel Mason believes that the
same effects are produced in some de-
gree upon all white people who go
to live in the Canal Zone However,
splendid work has been and is being
done by the Americans at Panama, so
that the tropical conditions certainly
have not prevailed over Yankee nerve
and energy. And this much may be
said with safety: Under present con-
ditions the Canal Zone is an extremely
pleasant and beautiful place to live in;
and It Is amply proved by example
that men of temperate habits may en-
jay the best of health here for many
years.

many of the rifles are so crowded with
fish that one can hardly cross the
stream without stepping on fish
The men at the hatchery go into the
fish like in drove of fat hogs and pick
them up, examining each fish, and if it
it is ripe" the salmon is killed. The
spawn is taken and placed in Matching
trays at the hatchery, there tended
until the eggs are Matched and the
small fry taken care of until large
enough to protect themselves. when
they are turned loose in the river. They
return in four years to the stream in
which they were hatched, being full
sized fish within that time.
