A Marvellous Coincidence.

The American Magazine has been
offering prizes for the best accounts
of remarkable condolences. In the
current issue the six prize winning let
tcrs are published. Following is one
of these letters-written by Elsie B..
Hart of San Gabriel, CAL:
In the early days in California very
little china was used that did not come
from the Orient. A man whose home
was in Folsom, who preferred the china
Of Europe. took advantage of a visit
to England to order a complete dinner
set ornamented with a design of his
w selection. In the course of time
this was packed n shipped to San
Francisco by sailing vessel round the
Horn--but after long delay the vessel
was given up as lost and was never
afterward heard from.
Years afterward the Californian
while travelling in China was invited
to dino at the home Of a missionary.
What was his establishment to find the
table set with his own dishes, pur-
chased so long ago! Concealing his
surprise he commented on the beauty
Of the chira. and this called forth an
explanation from his hostess. She told
him the china had an interesting his
tory, asst had been washed up on the
nearby shore and they had bought 1t
from the man who had recovered It
from the ocean. Surprising as it NAV
seems he never told his host that he
was eating off his own dishes!"

WAGNER YOUTH NOW IN
JAIL ON FORGERY CHARGE

Wagner, S. D.. Nov. 3.-After once
Guiding the officers and fleeing from
town and afterward escaping from the
officials, Henry Bucholz has been
lodged in the Wagner Jail, with a
charge of forgery pending against him.
AS the result of his preliminary exam
nation he was held for trial at the next
term Of state circuit court and was
released under a bond Of $1,000, which
was furnished by his mother, a highly
respected resident Of Wagner. Bucholz
was originally charged with forging
the am of J. E. Larkin to a check. The
accused left town and was located at
Trip and arrested. He was brought
back to Wagner, and while awaiting
his preliminary hearing managed to
elude the officers and left town. This
time he was re~captured at Armour.
After his Arrest on the Larkin forgery
charge 1t developed hat he had passed
a worthless check for $127.1O at the
Wagner State bank. He was arrested a
second time on this charge and will
have to stand trial on the two charges.

RUNAWAY ACCIDENT FATAL
TO FULTON YOUNG WOMAN

Fulton. S. D.. Nov. 6.-Miss Eta HUI
Der, aged 20, daughter of prominent
residents of the region north of Fulton,
died from injuries received when she
was thrown from a buggy during a
runaway. h had been shopping in
Fulton and was returning home with
the horse and buggy when the
occurred. The horse became fright
ened and soon was beyond her con-
troll. In sweeping around a corner the
buggy was overturned and Miss HUI
per was thrown violently to the ground.
Inc accident was witnessed by two
boys. who summoned others to the
scene. The young woman was uncon-
scious when picked up and conveyed
to the home of her parents and re-
NAMED in this condition up to the time
OF her cath. Ia was very popular in
the community n her tragic death
was a great shock to her acQuaint-

HOW GOVERNMENT MEETS
The MALARIA PROBLEM

-Four per cent of the inhabitants OF
rertain sections Of the south have ma
laria. This estimate, based on the re-
porting of 204,SS1 cases during 1914,
has led the Uneted States public health
service to give increased attention 10
The malaria problem, according TO the
Rnnual report of the surgeon general.
OF 1876 blood specimens examined. py
government officers during the Jear,
La, showed malarial infection. Ihe
lntectlon rate among white persons was
above s per cent, n among colored
persons, 20 per cent. In two counties
In the YaZoo valley, 40 out of every
100 inhabitants present evidence of the
disease.
Striking as the above figures are.
they are no more remarkable tnan
hose relating to the reduction in the
incidence Of the disease following sur
veys of the public health service at "a
places i'll nearly every state OF the
south. In some instances from an in
cldence of Is per cent, in 1914, a re
auction has been accomplished to less
than 4 or 5 per cent in 1915.
One Of the important scientific dis
coVeries made during the year was in
regard to the continuance of the dis
ease from season to season. Over g.
300 Anopheline mosquitoes in malarious
districts were dissected during the ear
" spring months without finding a sin
gle infected insect, and not until May
5, 1915, was he first parasite in he
body of a mosquito discovered. The
public health service, therefore. con-
&ludeS that mosquitoes in the latitude
Of the southern states ordinarily do not
carry the infection through the winter.
This discovery indicates that protection
from malaria may be secured by treat
ing human carriers with q~uinine pre-
ViouS to the middle of Nav, thus pre-
venting any infection from chronic suf-
ferers reaching mosquitoes and being
transmitted by them to other persons.
Although quinine remain the best
means OF treating malaria and is also
Of marked benefit in preventing infec-
ton, the eradication of the disease as
a whole rests upon the destruction Of
the breeding places of Anopheline mos
q%uitoes. The public health service,
therefore, is urging a definite campaign
of draining standing water, the filling
of low places, and the regarding and
training of streams where malarial
mosquitoes breed. The oiling of breed
ing places and the stocking of streams
with top-feeding minnows are further
recommended. The service also gives
advice regarding screening and other
preventive measures as a part of the
educational campaigns conducted in
sections of infected territory.
This study is typical of the scientific
Investigations which are being carried
out by the public health service, all Of
Which have a direct bearing on eradi-
eating the disease. The malaria work
now includes the collection of morbid
ton work, scientific field and labora-
tory studies. educational campaigns
n special studies of impounded wa
ter n drainage projects.

ERRONEOUS REPORTS ABOUT

Pierre, S. D., Nov. At has been
brought to the attention of the state
banking department that some errone-
GUS reports are in circulation concern
Ing the general condition of a private
bank at Oacoma, S. D., owned and op-
Grated by Frank A. Smith, probably oc-
casioned through misunderstanding Of
the suspension of the Citizens State
Bank of Oacoma on September Goth.
Mr.. Smiths institution is not in any
difficulty, has never had n
trouble of this nature, and any reports
to that effect are incorrect and an in
Justice to the bank: The foregoing
statement issued by the banking de-
partment has come about through Mr.,
Smith having some difficulty over
checks from his bank, being returned
when in reality there is nothing
wrong with his bank whatever.

Fhe Cost of BEING Sick.

Five hundred million dollars are an
nually expended by the people of the
United States, according to Miner Chip
man, who writes on efficiency in the In
dustrial Number of the Scientific
American, medicines. At least so per
cent of this $500, 600, 900 is spent with
oct the advice of a physician. The
Panama canal has cost to date approx.
.nately $4,000, 900. If 80 per cent Of
the medicines for which these $500. O0O,-
O0O were spent could be dumped into
the 100000 canal. we would ma
terially increase the efficiency of tho
people of the United States, and the
canal as a highway of commerce.. Think
OF it! An amount equal to the Anglo
French loan, blown in for medicines
$50 per cent of which were taken with
out the advice of a competent physf-
clan.
Why this waste?
The answer is found away down deep
in the problem of national efficiency.
We lack confidence in staff. We prefer
to be our own staff. make a guess-a
stab, and let it go at that. 1t is stated
that the average w~age-earner loses
about nine days every year because Of
Their are approximately 49,
100000 w-age-earners in the country.
At only 81 per day, the annua wage
lost through sickness is approximately
1922 900, 900. Add to this figure the
$780, 900, 900 expended for medicines,
and we have the staggering sum of
$1,222,0 900, 900, Of which at least so per
cent is ~preventable waste. Yet we see
many pages of the Congressional Rec
ord devoted to a discussion as, to
whether or not we shall build one, two
or three battleships. We will not en-
ter into a discussion of such national
wastes as chewing gum, bon bons, toy
dogs. cheap jewelry. etc. This waste
Of $4,000 900 or $1,000, 900 for medicine,
and lost time in industry, is illustrative
Of a typical American inefficiency.
