Men and Sheep Fight Side
by Side in Humanity's Cause

Among the many modest. quiet activ-
tiles ot Uncle Sam which the most of us
know little about is the United States
public health service.
Ever hear OF il?
The United States public health service
has been fighting spotted fever, the COM
non name for form of spinal menin-
gifts, for a long time.
Spotted fever is the only disease, so
far Is known, that is peculiar 10 the
United States.
II is found in all the Rocky mountain
states and has been called Rocky noun
tain spotted fever.
Ii is unusually severe on the west side
OF the Bitter Root valley in Montana, and
II was in combating the disease in this
district that Assistant Surgeon T. B. Nc
Clintoc of the public health service met
his death from the disease, in 1912.
In 1918 another officer volunteered for
this highly dangerous work. establishing
headquarters al Victor, Montana.
He soon noted. in studying two sides
Of the valley that spotted fever occurred
on one side and did not occur on the
other This fact was coupled with the
observation that sheep were ranged on
the side where the fever did not occur
and not on the other side, where it did
occur.
Opening into the Bitter Root valley Is
a smaller valley. where sheep are pas
tured. and in this valley. too. it was
observed, the fever did not exist.
Further study demonstrated the fact
that the parasite known as the fever tick.
which carries this disease and transmits
il 10 man, is picked up by the sheep and
that it dies in the sleeps wool.
In 1914 the public health service rent
ed a flock of sheep and pastured them
in that part of the Bitter Root valley
which hitherto had had the most cases
of spotted fever.
II was found that they collected large
numbers of ticks.
They were dipped every 10 days TO
kill the ticks. and so successfully did
these auxiliary sanitary agents do their
cleanup" campaign work that not a
single case OF fever has occurred in that
area since they were placed there.
Moreover, the owners of sheep discov-
cred that sheep raised in the Bitter
Root country is a profitable industry,
and this year more sheep are being pas
tured than ever before.
The same measures will be taken by
the public health service against Rocky
mountain spotted fever this year in
Idaho.

Again we pay tribute to our dead sol

This years Memorial day presents 70

meaning home-our nation at peace,
Europe embroiled.
Instead of making thousands Of new
graves TO be decorated annually. we are
laying away, year by year, fewer and
fewer of those who have had to defend
their country.
Our peace policy is bearing fruit in
prosperity and the present happiness Of
seeing the home faces grouped about
the family table.
Europe's war policy is making desola-
don, misery, aching hearts; and vacant
chair Is not compensated by a patriotic
feeling Of duty done.
As time passes, and sectional rival
ries are forgotten, and north is south and
south north in our national feeling of
neighb0rliness, we are beginning to be-
1 lieve that ii men had exercised little
more restraint, the war of 1904 might
have been avoided.
Il is very doubtful if it could have
been. for the differences, political and
economic, had been widening, decade by
decade, and the peacemakers had made
the word compromise hated by both
sides-
But, SO years later, the peace lesson
has been learned so well by the majority

bravely fought but horrible war. and be-

Satsurna Orange All
That Is Claimed for It.

Much Is being said and written
these days regarding the satsuma
orange. This orange has thus far
proven itself TO be all that its pro-
moters claimed for it few years ago.
West Florida. especially Escambia
and Santa Rosa counties, can boast Of
some Of the very best satsuma groves
to be found anywhere. Many young
groves are coming on, having been set
out during the past two years. Many
others are being set out this fall and
others viii be set out in the spring.
There is nothing in the fruit line
which can boast of a better sale than
the satsurna. It produces well in this
coast country, and the day is not far
distant when they will be shipped out
Of Pensacola and from other points
between here and Jacksonville by
train loads. The gulf coast citizenship
can well afford to stand back Of the
satsuma, talk it and eat it.

A SONG.
God bless you, dear!

God bless you, dear!
May each new sunlit morning
Loves gladness bring to glorify the
day;
And when the night comes, with stars
the sky adjoining,
May loves bright star shine on
your head always,
God bless you, dear!
God bless you, dear!
May every cloud of sorrow
Be arched Ger with loves all radi-
ant bow;
And if grief's tears rain on some dark
tomorrow,
May loves flower garden all the
\ richer grow,
God bless you, dear!
God bless you, dear!
Der pathways seen or hidden,
May loves sure hand forever guide
your way,
And should to separate ways our lives
be hidden,
My love be yours forever and fol
aye.
God bless you, dear!
