g Congressman Chandler, Of
Texas, has introduced a most
worthy bill in the House, at
Washington, providing for the
distribution Of vast cotton found.
now lying idle II the national
treasury. and which rightfully
belongs 10 the people Of the
South. This fund has been 4
bone Of contention in Congress
for many long, weary years, for
the reason largely that the right
full owners were hard to locate
and fraudulent claimants were
sure to appear as soon asa dis
tribution began. Congr essmaD
Gkandler's proposal would do
the most good. His bill provides
that the money Be paid. to all
surviving Confederate soldiers in
an initial so sHm and then S25
per month until the entire amount
is liquidated. Surely this bill
can meet with little or no oppo.
sitioD. The cotton was taken
away from the Southern people
during and after the late Civil
War, and the man who 60 brayely
defended a cause they believed
right might we'll be awarded this
money, now doing no one any
good and which. they so sorely
need at this time, Now is a good
time to press the bill to final &C.

True Patriotism.

Following is copy of letter
written by President Lincoln
during the Civil war, showing
the patriotism Of the American
mother as well as Of the men at

appreciation Of the head Of the
government for an unfaltering
loyalty even at the cost Of such
sacrifice:
Executive Mansion,
Washington, Nov. q, 1854.
To Mrs Blxby, Boston, Mass.
Dear Madam:
| have been shown
in the files of the War Depart
ment a statement of the Adjutant
General Of Massachusetts, that
you are the mother of FIVE sons
who have died gloriously on the
field of battle. feel how weak
and fruitless must be the word OF
mine which should attempt to
beguile you from the grief Of q
loss 50 overwhelming. But !
cannot refrain from rendering
you the consolation that may be
found in the thanks Of the re-
public they died to save. | pray
that our Heavenly Father may
assuage the anguish of your be-
reavement, and leave you only
the cherished memory of the
loved and lost, and the solemn
pride that must be yours to have
laid SO costly sacrifice upon the
alter of freedom.
Yours very sincerely and
respectfully.

PERIL TRACED TO MOSQUITO
Doctor Ross Credited With Discovery
That Insect Pest Mas the Bearer
of Malaria Germs.

One of the greatest discoveries in
the history Of medicine was that of
DR.. Ronald Ross, who, at Calcutta,
in July, 1898. found that the spores
of malarial parasites ere concern
trated in the saliyary gland Of the
mosquito, remarks the Youths Com
panion. AS Doctor Ross himself
wrote, "TAe exact route of infection
of this great disease, which annu-
ally Stays its millions of human be-
ings and keeps whole continents in
darkness, was revealed. These mi
mute spores enter the %saliyary gland
of the mosquito and pass with its
poisonous saliva directly into the
blood of men. Never in our dreams
had we imagined so wonderful a tale
as this" Until lately it was not
known whether a disease-spreading
mosquito could infect more than one
person. Recent experiments Of the
public health service have proved
hat an infected malarial mosquito
can infect several persons without
again obtaining blood from an origi-
nal source of infection, and that an
infected mosquito retains her ability
to infect with malaria for at least
twenty-five days. Even if a mos
quito empties her available supply
of malarial parasites into one man
she may infect a second man a few
hours or a few days later through q
new generation of parasites. This il
a most important discovery, for il
shows hat the individual disease.
laden insect is a veritable machine
gun in point Of danger, and it em.
phasi@s the necessity for stamping
out the breeding places Of the mala
rial mosquito.

DRINK MUCH CHAMPAGNE.
rial mosqui.

Twenty thousand dollars a day are
spent in New York for champagne.
This is not a guess but a carefully
prepared estimate based on figures
furnished by the big liquor and i'm
porting houses. Before the Civil
war gentlemen served carefully pre-
Served and personally cared-foI
wines, but with the mad rush fol-
precedence that followed the Civil
war and the forced nomadic propen-
sites Of succeeding generations, il
became impossible to keep wine fol
ten or twenty years before being
served. That is the real reason why
champagne is the fashionable drink
today.
