Former Resident Writes.

T. G.. Thomson, who was keeper at
the Sand Point light station near Bar
aga a few years ago and who until re-
Gently was stationed at Loleta. Cali,
fornia. writes The SENTINEL from Eu-
reka. California, as follows:
"Well, we have made another move
and at last have the~place we have
wanted for a long time. 1t is not in
any way a promotion, like Sand Point
in many respects. 1t is on Humboldt
bay, four miles from Eureka, the larg-
est city between San Francisco and
Portland, Oregon. All the Eureka
shipping passes within a stone throw
of our station.
The submarine H-3 and the Mil
waukee" are ashore about five miles
north of us. The keeper and have
received letters of commendation from
the Secretary Of the Department OF
Commerce for assistance rendered in
rescuing the crew of the H-3 last De-
cember. They have the H-3 clear OF
the sand and are about to move her
across the peninsula and relaunch her
in the bay, but l guess the Milwaukee
is on the beach for good unless they
dredge a canal for her.
"What do you thiak of this? We
have garden truck up-peas, onions,
carrots, ETC., and flowers such as pinks,
roses, wallHowers and daffodils, are in
bloom.
In my opinion this is the best part
of the state of California.
"The Fairhaven shipyards. two miles
from US. have been purchased by one
of the big steamship companies on the
coast and are about be be enlarged and
worked to full capacity. The railroad
is also to be extended, connecting
Eureka with all northern cities, Port
land, Ore, and others, as well as San
Francisco on the south. Then this will
be the best place on the coast. for we
have a mighty fine climate. "

Safe Medicine for Children.

1T it safe?" is the first question to
be considered when buying cough
medicine for children. Chamberlain s
Cough Remedy has long been favorite
with mothers of young children as it
contains no opium or other narcotic,
and may be given to a child as con-
fidently as to an adult. 1t is pleasant
to take, too, which is of great i'm
portance when a medicine must be
given to young children. This remedy
is most effiectual in relieving coughs,
colds and Group. For sale by the Su-

On March /. 1904. Col. Gorgas became
chief sanitary officer of the. Panama
canal and on March 4. 1907, a member
of the Isthmian canal commission.
Panama had the reputation of being
one of the plague spots of the earth
where thousands of lives had been sac
rifced. When the United States took
charge in 1904, the death rate was 40
ing there from July. 1904. to December.
1905. In less than year Gen. Gorgas
had eradicated 1t entirely, and there
has not been a single case since May.
1906. There was an average rate OF
500 per 1000 workers admitted to the
hospitals in that year for malaria; by
1913 this rate had been reduced to rs
per 1000. The death rate from all
causes among workers was about Al
per 1000; in 1913, 1t was per 1000.
The general death rate among the total
population is now 22-23 per 1000. and
the total cost Of sanitation has been
less than l per cent of the total ap-
preparation for all purposes.
In 1915 there were only eight cases
of typhoid fever in the entire army
and no deaths resulted. OF the eight
cases four only occurred within the con-
tinental limits of the United States;
the four other cases were reported from
Hawaii.
