pected to prepare as soon as his health
improved, as writing in his physical
condition was a hard task. He was
personally acquainted with most of the
famous writer's of the present day as
they all have at one time or another
done their "bit" at newspaper work
in the west.
Any assignment turned over to Mr..
Kusba was sure to be we'll covered.
He was intensely interested in the
young and he -grieved seriously when
young boys began to travey the plim-
rose path. AS newspaper man he
had come IN contact with m1c1 of the
seamy side of life, and he knew right
well what the result would be unless
the boys called a halt.
Charley, like most men trained in a
daily print shop had developed gen
crosby that knew no bounds, and it
was a pleasre for him to divide his
last penny with less fortunate soul.
He had a great reverence for churches
and their teachings but he could detect
hypocrisy with an unerring eye. Like
all good newspaper men he came in
contact with much that would have
made salacious reading for scandal
mongers but during his connection with
the Herald he never wrote one line in
tending to offend or injure any one.
In word. he was a real newspaper
man, and a credit to the profession.
His CHEEKY smile and genial compan-
ionship will be missed by the Herald
force. In his passing the Herald ex-
tends sincerest sympathy 70 his aged
parents and brother.-A. NJ w.

The American tropics are being
brought into Gods country. The
mighty works accomplished for sani-
tation and good health by the United
States in the Canal Zone and at Ha-
vana DUNG the American occupa-
ton have been duplicated in a vast
fringe of country circling the Carib-
bean sea.
The people of the Caribbean lands
are not only making wide use of au-
tomobiles, street cars. concrete con-
struction, city lighting, and public
water supply systems but the prob
lens of sanitation and hygiene are
occupying their serious attention.
The largest, most thoroughly Or
Ranized and far-reaching work for
public health and sanitation ever un.
dsrtaken by an American company
in the tropics has been successfully
carried on by the United Fruit Com
pany. 1t is doubtful if any similar
work Of equal magnitude has ever
been successfully attempted by a
private concern. Few governments
have even equalled or appropriated

with district hospitals. dispensaries,
and health camps. 1t has drained
vast areas Of swampy land. It has
given hundreds of communities pure
water to drink. The work was un-
dertaken at an expenditure Of mil
lions. Several hundred thousand dol
lars are required annually for its
maintenance.
In all the company's hospitals
there are fine physicians, many Of
them bearing Postgraduate honors
won at American and European uni
versities. The cumulative experience
Of the hospital work-some Of them
were started before our government
began its sanitation in the Canal
Zone-makes the records Of great
value. Often visiting physicians
come for study and special research.
There are, too, American women
nurses who are doing c work as big
as that done on the battlefields Of
Europe.
Last year the medical divisions Of
the company treated 10000 pa
tients. This does not mean that
there is tremendous amount of ILL
ness lurking around the Caribbean.

considerable losses were inflicted by
