yellow Fever Mastered.

Reports from Ecuador indicate that
Doctor Noguch., the famous Japanese
scientist, who is ut present In that
country. has isolated the bacillus
which causes yellow fever. and has
prepared an anti-serum comforting i'm
munity on those exposed to the disease.
The discovery is being tried out on
Ecuadoran troops in the fevery in
terror.
The conquest Of yellow fever is one
of the important achievements. In the
Canal zone the first steps were taken
the fever was banished by sanitation.
But proper sanitation is an extensive
process and is impracticable in sparse
" settled regions. So Doctor No
guchi's discovery comes to give need
full coup de grace to the old villain.

violent temper Of the wife, and the
cruel treatment she had inflicted upon
her husband for such long time,
were so outraged they could endure IL
no longer. and procured warrant for
her arrest on the charge of assault
with deadly weapon.
The husband sat through the trial.

For nearly three years, or from

: Beyond the fact that NJ. N. Whelan
