EMBARGO ON FREIGHT.

PANAMA-In order to relieve the great congestion of freight the Pan anna Railroad Company has placed an embargo on goods destined for all parts in the west coast of South America south of Callao, Peru. The closing of the Panama Canal last September caused a vast quantity of freight to be routed for trans-ship- ment across the Isthmus with the re- suit that the shipping companies on the west coast have been unable to handle the freight offered.
 Because of the vast amount of this business the shipping companies have taken to carrying only the higher aid freights, leaving the low class

QUARANTINE STICKS BUT MENINGITIS
 SCARE is WANING
Fate Of Two Afflicted Hangs In Balance. Situation Be- comes A Waiting Game for Bisbee.

The meningitis situation resolved itself into waiting game for Bisbee yesterday. The doctors were waiting for other cases to appear. and the pub lie was looking forward to the time when the movies, schools and places of business would be open again.
 The tide of the disease apparently has been stemmed. Not another case has been reported since Thursday, when the mysterious ailment swept in and out of the city. eXacting toll of three lives in one day The other two afflicted are living. but their fates still hang in the balance and may be decid- ed today. Every aid known to medi- cal science is being afforded them. Sc runs, the biggest hope, are being lav- ished on them.
 Dr. R. N. LoOney. the state healtE officer who accompanied the local phy- sicians on their visits yesterday. said there is nothing 10 do that the Bisbee doctors have not done
 T would not change anything. l can not suggest anything Dr. Hunt and Dr. Herendeen have not done" he said ''The Bisbee people have no occasion to become alarmed There is no cpl demic yet. and il is to be hoped the rigorous measures taken by Dr. Heren- deen had forestalled the spread of the disease.
 Twenty people carry the germs a. round Uish them in their nose and throat. to one taken down with the disease he said. pr. Looney advised everybody to .gargle the Dobell solu- ton in. the mouth and throat, and guard against catching cold which would make the disease more suscep- tihle. Splitting especially should be guarded, he said.
 The quarantine of public places re mains practically as it was, two weeks being deemed~the shortest time in which to curb the disease and assure the safety of the community.
 Dr. Herendeen and Dr. Hunt have prepared the following suggestions apon the present health situation:
 The germ which causes epidemic erebro-spinsl meningitis has been nund only i1 fhe human body.
 Healthv .persons may carry the grm .n their uhae and throat without ever developing the disease. Such persons are known as carriers. There are about 10 carriers to every case of meningitis in an infected locality
 The measures for lessening the spread of the germs Of this disease are as follows:
 The nose and threat should be. kept clean. For this purpose cleansing sprays may be used
 Careful attention to personal hy- giene, mainly cleanliness Avoid chill ing of ihe body and other depressing infuences. Dress to meet the change in weather.
 Avoid close contact with persons
 Healthy persons may carry the germ innocently transmit the germs. which may be in their nose and thgoat. by coughing, sneezing, kissing, talking, etc.
 Children should not use articles which may have come in contact with the mouths of others, such as pencils.

particles of food. drinking cups, hand, keTchiefs. and the like.
 Cleanliness of premises and free ventilation of houses are necessary The germ of this disease is easily killed when exposed to drying and sunlight. Hence it is important to thoroughly ventilate and expose to sunlight all occupied rooms.
 The disease is not carried by cloth ing, merchandise, etc.
 Persons suffering with colds that is, nasal catarrh, sore throat, or coueht-should be careful in the pres ence of others, and seek early medical attention and relief.
 Handkerchiefs wet with discharges from the nose or throat should be disinfected by boiling in water.

strike a blow at Germany where she is vulnerable in Africa.
 Then. finally, on the southern flank of the German colony. Portugal now enters the contest, with Portuguese East Africa one of the strongest strategic points, having the great har- Dor of Delagoa Bay for transports and supplies, and railways reaching inland right up to the German possessions. With the British fleet guarding Portu- gals home ports, her little fleet and her army are free to turn their at tention to this land stand of German colonization in Africa.
 What military defense Germany can make on all these Hanks of her great colony is not clear. The Brit ish view is that she can make 70 de fense, beyond temporary obstruction of forces pressing from all sides. The German military force is chiefly Afri can natives, trained by German off cers. with no chance of transports bringing home forces. The biz guns from the German raider Koenissb1re are there, and a large supply O. machine guns. But with native troops the obstruction is not considered formidable against the hardy Soutl African and Boer fighters under Gen eral Shuts, along with British and Indian troops, and the Belgian ana Portuguese forces on the west and south
 While the stake is much more than the control of a colony, yet the colony itself is valuable possession. When Germany entered late on the colonial field, she got only what was left-the marshy, low country, without ports or political importance, except German East Africa, which by it's geographical position is the key to the eastern hali of the continent. It is five times as large as Great Britain. and three times as large as the Philippines, with a population of eight millions.
 As an asset it has not been much. costing for development about three times what it yielded, but as the key stone of Germany's colonization it's political future was considered worth all the cost It had begun to buy about S12,000,000 of Germany's in dustrial products year. Like Kiau- Chow as an entering wedge to China, it was the entering wedge to Africa, and a wedge driven in the psycholo- gical spot, right in the middle of the continent. splitting the vast British colonization in two.
 Whatever the results of the military campaign may be, it is recognized that military occupation is not permanent political occupation. But if military occupation once established an un- broken British chain from Cairo 10 the Cape. it will be one of the last things yielded in any future peace treaty Outside of this territory, Africa may still be thrown in the scales of the future peace bargaining, for there is less intimate attachment to it than to home soil like Alsac- Lorraine. Poland or Belgium
 For the moment. however, attention is directed to dispossessing Germany from her commanding position mid way in Africa. and in this view the issue is more than struggle for Germany's last and greatest colony it is the conquest of a Continent. with a French Empire in the vast and a British Empire in the east.

Looking through the displays Of the
lfurriers, for styles in neckpieces and

board.
The cause of the outbreak has not
yet been determined. Whether it
comes from fly-blown food or milk,
or from contamination of the city's
water supply is yet to be discovered.
It is known, however, that during
the food. sinks have been emptied in
diluted form into the Calcasieu river
and when fires have occurred in the
town the water of the river has been
thrown in such quantities that some
of 1t must have got into the water

animation has been so old when it

were worth little, and hence the

WOMEN AND NIGHT WORK.

OF the thirty-seven states where
women cannot vote for members OF

hibited night work for women, only
three. unless some recent change mas

Of the eleven states where women

il an Industrial state, and the need
OF = law forbidding night work has
not yet become pressing. Very rev
women in the suffrage states are en-
gagged in night work.
As a matter of fact, there is more
night work by women in Massachu
setts than in any suffrage state.
Here night work is forbidden in some
kinds Of labor, but not in others.

cause. This fact is no tgenerally

Little aristocrats Of the apron tribe

be anything but dainty and becoming,
with perhaps little usefulness thrown
in by way Of good measure. But use
fulness is really matter of secondary
importance, the main thing being the
charm that lies in the refinement of
these frivolous and pretty furbelows.
Serving aprons and sewing aprons
are made Of fine cotton soods-organ-
dies, swiss, embroidery. batiste and
lawns - with laces and embroidery
used for ornamentation and ribbons
employed for finishing. They are
much elaborated and bedecked, and
they are small and gracefully shaped
The materials and trimmings used
are washable and the aprons last
long time. They are very easily made,
and among the least expensive Of
really worthwhile holiday gifts.
Allover embroideries and dotted
swiss are chosen for the majority Of
the aprons displayed for the holidays
this year. Occasionally pretty figured
lawns appear among them, or plain
batiste with lace insertions let in in
various designs and having lace frill
about the edge. They are set on to q

this is finished with ends for tying in
q bow at the back. A belt may be
