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 a matter OF
time until they will all be replaced
with ratproof structures.
One Of the great difficulties encoun-
tered by the health department Is due
to the native love of crowded condi-
lions. Real estate men in both Pan
anna City and Colon have found that
one large house with great number

One Of the most interesting phases OF
the sanitary work on the Canal zone
the question of how the tropics AFFECT
white men. For long years they held
nothing for him but almost certain
death. When the first hardy voyagers
from Europe tried to land along the
South and Central American coasts
plague and fever destroyed them be-
fore they had a chance to become &C,
climated. Then came the wonderful
discoveries as to the cause and pre-
vention Of tropical diseases IN Cuba
BILE work of Col. Gorgas at Panama,
which has made the Canal Zone one
Of the most sanitary places in the
world.
Col Gorgas has stated it to be his be-
lief that when the tropical diseases

Col. Charles F. Mason, who is Col.
Gorgas' successor on the Canal Zone,
and who also has had a long expe-
rience in the tropics. dissents from
this view Of the matter. He points out
that the Pahamans. who are not an
Indigenous people, but largely OF
Spanish and negro blood. have been de-
cidedly affected by their life In the
in the interior often marrying at the
age of fifteen, while women OF TWEEN
ty-five 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 being
fastened. Furthermore. incidence and
irritability are marked characteristics
Of the natives.
Col. Mason believes that the same
effects are produced in some degree
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 en-
ergy. And this much may be said with
safety: Under present conditions the
Canal Zone Is an extremely pleasant
and beautiful place to live in; and it Is
amply proved by example that men of
temperance habits may enjoy the best
of health here for many years.

TOWN PROMOTION

LET rs say that Smith" said the
board Of trade man, "is one of your
townspeopie. He is q buoyant fell
low. full Of appreciation al the pre-.
sent advantages of your town, and
It's possibilities for growth. He goes
on some day to spend q week end
with his wife's relations, and inci6;-
entaliy gets TO talking about your
town. He tells what a good place Il
is to live and do business in.."
"A few months after II appears
that come young man in the town
visited by Smith is contemplating. the
starting Of new indstry. He has &
| little capital but finds his own home
people Indifferent to him. The words
OF your friend Smith had been heard
by Ism, II strikes him that your
place might be an excellent town to
get start In. He writes,,to Smith.
who invites the young man to his
home, and later introduces him TO the
business men about town He
gets the glad hand, and inside a few
months your town has o new industry.
II believe" said ahe board OF trade
man, that in the majority OF cases,
new industries locate in somewhat
that way. Some are founded In re-
sponse to circulars and appeals sent
out by boards OF trade. The majori-
| ty come because town has acquired
a reputation for hustling, and for bust
ness and residence advantages.
Or course Smith might go visiting
for hundred week ends, tell his re-
| latives blind about the advantages Of
his town, and never interest o soul
to think OF moving there. Yet the
hundred and first time he might strike
some one who was thinking of enter
ing some new venture, and might
bring something back to, his home
1 community.
frIf 100 men In any town." conclud-
ed the speaker, would make It their
practice on all possible occasions TO
say n word tactfully never forcing
the subject to people from other
towns as to the advantages Of their
! place, In time this would create quite
q widespread reputation. Some of
the people that heard about the town
would be interested to make further
inquiries. A few of them would be
likely to move. in and bring some
! good business with them"
A town grows and is built up by
IT'S reputation was the conclusion. To
secure that reputation, the citizens Of
town must do all they can to spread
information about its advantages,
From thousand chance seeds of in
formation and helpfuiness. few will
bear fruit. 1t may seem luck and
chance, but st Is really the result OF
q community habit of push and evpan-
sion and search for new opportunity.
