Harlem nan who isn't

there are 1000 Smiths in New York

use Of their name. His first name "A

I'm these later years Of change and
progress. however. she began 70 e,
new ideas Of woman's significance and
called herself Mrs. Edna Smith. Her
husband, being old fashioned, didn',
like Il and said as much, but she kept
to II.
BY and by when letters 70 her
came addressed TO Mrs. Edna Smith ne
objected strcnuously and she agreed
to have her letters addressed to Mira
John Wesley. This ran along peace
fully until further progress was made
and she began to 'chafe under the tyr.
amy Of man.
"She resorted to secret
and one day her husband found a let.
ter to her addressed to Mrs. John Edna
Smith. This stirred him 10 his pro-
foundest depths and he launched out
at her violently, not to say viciously.
She merely smiled and when he had
become sufficiently amenable to treat
ment she told him squarely that she
was tired Of his bearing all the honors
Of the family name and that she pro-
posed to have her share ana have Il
publicly.
"She said she was willing to give
his name first place. but not all the
place. and hereafter she would be Mrs
John Edna Smith, and II he didn't like
II what, pray. was he going 10 do
about II? It had been a long fight and
John was weakening. while at the
same time ne was beginning to realize
that the woman in the family was
about as necessary as the man was
and maybe he would be wiser TO COM
promise than to contest

cepts Mrs. John Edna Smith as really

sNTHE task OF cleaning up the
world, with a view to get
ting rid of the great
epidemic diseases which are
wholesale destroyers OF mankind,
seems at first glance very formidable.
but II Is bound to he undertaken and
will 10 accomplished more easily and
with much more rapidity than the
average layman would be inclined to
expect"
It va Major-Gen. William c. Cor
gas who made this statement-the man
who transformed the Canal Zone from
a pest hole into one of the most
salubrious regions On the earth. and
this within the brief period of half n
dozen years. The Rockefeller Founda-
ton Is understood to have engaged his
services, when he shall have retired
from the post of Surgeon-Gencral of
the Army to manage a campaign for
the stamping out of yellow fever in
all countries where 1t now prevails.
Where epidemic diseases. such as
yellow fever. are concerned" said Gen.
Gorgas. ut may be said that we have
them at a certain disadvantage. The
bacterial or other germs that cause
them-in the case or yellow fever II is
an animal parasite-are manifestly
living and propagating their species
under conditions not favorable TO their
survival. If the situation were other
wise the maladics they engender
would not be epidemic in character.
for the very word epidemic implies
that such onslaughts are temporary.
TT Is to be inferred. then, that these
germs are able TO do mischief only
when conditions. through une sort Of
accident or another. happen to favor
them. Accordingly our task is to
eliminate such favoring conditions, as
was lone in the Canal Zone, for in
stance. by draining wamps and
adopting other Isl calculated to
discourage the breeding of the par
ticular species Of mosquito that is the
sole carrier of yellow fever, and in
the absence Of which this disease can
not possibly exist.
I'm this kind of work no little
ingenuity has been exercised. Thus,
o example, at the time when the
great sheet of water known as Gatun
Lake was created by flooding a hollow
in the hills. the town of Gatun was
beset by anopheles mosuuitoes-the
species that carries malaria. Whence
they came was n puzzle, and. to solve
it. a regular business was made of
catching mosquitoes in every nearby
swamp and painting them.
The method adopted was to sus-
pend mosquito bars from tree branches
in the swamps, placing inside Of each
n a colored person for bait. For this
purpose the bars were left open until
a good many Of the insects were in
side Of them n then they were tied
bag fashion at the bottoms. The me-
groes got 10 cents ar hour for their
services.
The next morning-the anopheles
fieS only at night-a hose with a
sprinkling nozzle was introduced into
each bar and the mosquitoes contained
In 1t were wet with water tinted red,
blue. green. or yellow, with aniline
dye. For each swamp n particular
color was used. so that. when the mos
quitoes at Gatun were afterward OBJ
served the prevalence OF a special hue
among those of them tina were
painted showed where they came from.
In this way we located the source of
the plague, which was loon stopped
by suitable draining operations.

cities of the unsanitary Orient. where
the people generally are ~chronically
opposed to innovations.
Nevertheless a beginning has been
made and the outlook is hopeful. In
a general way we may say that the
range of the great epidemic diseases is
being progressively restricted. Take
leprosy for example.

CITY HALL CROWDED
The Officials Are Badly in Need of
More Room.

Topeka is outgrowing her city hall.
There is not enough office room for
the city employees, and w. L. Porter,
city commissioner of parks and pub
lie buildings, is worried. A shifting
of desks and a changing about of Of
fices is probable. To make way for
the Midwinter exposition the rooms on
the ground floor and to the south of
the entrance to the Auditorium were
vacated by the Public Health Nursing
association, which moved to the Sec
ond floor and into the room allotted to
the superintendent Of streets.
There has always been some other
and more pressing need for the rooms
formerly used by the nursing associa-
ton since it moved out, so the super
intendent of streets office is still held
by the nurses. While the nurses are
holding the fort, both the street de-
partment and the milk inspection de-
partment are wistfully waiting to take
possession of the room when the
tiers. And in the meantime Porter,
who is ''boss" of the building, has a
third candidate for more room. He
wants an office in the city hall for
the superintendent of parks. In fact
he has been wanting it for more than
a year, but as yet has not found a
way.
The city hall will be even more
cramped when Porter gets his reor-
ganized health department working,
with city physician on the job all the
time and with the city bacteriologist
scrutinizing samples of meats and
other foods along with 'swabs'' from
sore-throated children suspected of
harboring deadly germs, in addition
to the regular examinations every
month of samples of milk from every
dairy selling in Topeka.
The most cramped quarters in the
city hall at present are, or rather is,
that of the milk inspection depart
ment. 1t hasn't any quarters, but just
a quarter, or one small room in which
laboratory and office are ombined.
The room is so small and crowded
that dairymen who call 5ostle test
tubes with their elbows while talking
to Dr. Leslie Rowles, milk inspector,
at his desk, and Miss Annetta Nicoll.
bacteriologist, spends a fair part of
her time apologizing for stepping on
the milkman's toes while pushing her
way about at her work.
The aboIishing of the office of the
city commissioner of elections will not
help any. While the work formerly
done by w. H. Kemper will be taken
care of by the city clerk, yet the city
is compelled to provide court room
or office for the judge of the small
debtors court, which position is held
by Judge Kemper.

by Germans, who have made good

fine homes as one will see in any part
of Mitchell county. And in all these
years they have hauled their surplus

Upton badly needs a railroad.
To show that there is money here,

MRS. CAW'S BOOK
Sunday School Delegates Meet
Topeka Author.
Her Work Has Proven q Great
Aid to the Teacher.

Sunday school delegates embline
in Topeka are to be introduced to a
new book for use in primary work,
by Topeka author. Some years ago
sort in this city and William A.
Brown, missionary superintendent In
ternational Sunday School association,
was one of the speakers. He said:
You have in Topeka a woman who
knows more about the teaching of
mission study to children than I can
ever hope to know. Her name and
the work she is doing has reached me
the house 1 will ask her to take my
hour in the meeting. Her name is
Mrs. Ralph Cav
Mrs. Cav had just entered the room
at that meeting. in time to hear her
name called, and she made an extern
poraneous address before the conven-
ton. So much impressed with her
system were the leaders in that de-
partment of work. that Mrs. Cav was
repeatedly urged to put her plan into
book form. After a careful search
she could find nothing on the market
that met the need she found in teach
ing missionary study to children. So
she compiled a course of study that
tendent of the primary department of
the Sunday school of Central COngre-
gational church.
1t is Mrs. Claws plan to give a
book, which she calls Goods Family"
1t is her idea that mission study
should be carried on Systematically
and continuously, just as any subject
is studied in the day schools. A few
stirring stories from returned mission
aries is not sufficient. Those stories,
she says, "are missionary entertain
ment, but not missionary instruction"
The lessons are marked out for each
month, beginning with Septembe and
ending with June, and consist of a
series of stories about children of
various classes of society at home, and
about foreign children of Christian
and heather countries, with the view
of awakening a feeling of kfnship and
sympathy with them all, as we'll as of
giving actual information as to their
modes of life and need for teaching.
With each lesson is page of pictures
suggestive of the season, with a blank
space to be filled by pictures, illustrat-
ing the story, which may be clipped
or drawn by the children themselves.
The plan of study is graded, CLASH
fled, and has been found to be prac-
teal by the teachers that have used
it. 1t is recommended as the lesson
book for the primary department of
Sunday schools, by the convention,
and this morning Mrs. Cav was given
an hour of the conventions time to
explain the plan on which her book
is founded.
