the sleeping sickness from the bite of fly that has
had at least one meal of crocodiles blood or bitten
an infected man or animal Kill all crocodiles and
sleeping sickness ends.
You read that the tse -tse fly is found in regions
moist and of tropical heat That is natural for the
crocodile also inhabits such regions.
All along the muddy Nile except where there
is lack of shade and shelter for the es the tse tse
disease carriers are found. And all along the
muddy river the crocodjles breed, sleep and hunt
their prey
In times past women have thrown their babies
to them, to appease them.
Such poor women were no more ignorant than
some Of our own ancestors a few hundreds years
ago.
And our own ancestors, when they were burn
ing witches poor, old harmless women, were as
ignorant and brutal as the African chief rewarding
his witch doctor for naming persons that had put
the sleeping curse upon him.
Until they KNOW, until science enlightens
them and drives out their brutal superstitions,
white men are as ignorant as the lowest savages,
infinitely more cruel and barbarous.
It is not long ago since intelligent white men in
Europe wrote the mystic word "Abracadabra" in
tattooing ink upon their chests and arms to keep off
the yellow fever
They would have laughed had you suggested
putting up mosquito netting at windows or doing
away with stagnant water in which mosquitoes
breed
To-day everybody knows that you can end
yellow fever by getting rid of mosquitoes.
John D. Rockefeller's scientific workers have
undertaken and probably will accomplish the task
of actually destroying yellow fever ALL OVER
THE GLOBE. Their plan and effort is TO free from
plague the few spots on earth in which yellow fever
endures all the year round

That will be done also as regards the tse- -tse fly.

be found or reached, hiding until it Is ready to
come out with its own set of dull brown wings its
own cutting proboscis, and begin its career Of de-
struction.
Travellers have described with deep sympathy
the miserable victims Of the tse tse fly and of sleep
ing sickness.
Such victims, African savages, have been killed
millions upon millions. not understanding what
killed them.
Sometimes when savage chief was bitten and
began to show the deadly signs creeping over him,
an effort would be made Ito do something"
The witch doctor, called IN, would solemnly
decide what particular witch had put the spell and
curse upon the chief.
Many miserable savage has paid the witch
doctor literally in order NOT to be pointed out as
the person responsible.
And many poor creature has died in horrible
agony, accused Of bewitching the chief with the
deadly sickness.
Little did the witch DOCTOR with feathers and
strange clothes, or the drowsy, slowly dying chief
suspect that the trouble was caused by miniature
dragons darting about among the chiefs red blood
corpuscles, planted in his blood by the small, harm
less looking dark fly.
What you may ask, has the picture Of the
crocodiles mouth to do with sleeping sickness and
tse-tse fies7 The answer Is EVERYTHING.
The tse- -tse germ lives all the year round in the
blood Of the crocodile.
The tse-tse fly biting the crocodile, flying into
its mouth and tapping It's veins. gathers up the
germs Of sleeping sickness.
These hang thick about the end Of the fy's pro-
boscis, his piercing dagger, and planted in the
blood Of horse or OK that happens to be stabbed

years. without understanding call them the nSinSi.
That is the name of all flies in the Bantu
language. From nsi-nSi the English have made the
word tse-tse. And the whites have learned to their
sorrow the power, horror destruction that dwell
In the small, dark -tse fly.
Because Of that fly horses and cattle cannot
live in many parts of Africa. Vast regions, big
enough to hold many kingdoms are worthless for
human beings.
Of their lives the moment they enter the domain Of
the apparently inoffensive little tsetse.
II you could examine the apparently harmless
little fly under a powerful magnifying glass you
would see most barbarously devised and murderous
machinery for spreading disease and DEATH
The proboscis, dagger with which this fly
drives death into the blood Of men and animals is
equipped with cutting teeth and rasps that enable
the fly to pierce through the thick hide of horse
or cut into the blood vessels Of man.
In few seconds the fly with it's so-called
"sucking stomach" can pump out and swallow
twice its own weight in blood, leaving behind
disease for which there Is no cure.
That disease is caused by a microscopic
creature classified under the general heading Of
Trypanosoma
They have, or recently had, in the Rockefeller
Institute, living and floating in drops of human
blood specimens Of this destructive tse tse parasite
the germ that produces sleeping sickness.
On one occasion this deadly enemy of mankind
was shown under the microscope to this writer by
John D. Rockefeller, Jr on visit to his fathers
scientific institute.
The microscope revealed monstrous creature
rushing with furious speed in the drop of blood
provided for its home the slide Of the microscope
It looked Like a sort Of dragon, with huge head,
and moved with Incredible swiftness.
AS these horrible creatures, breeding in mil
lions, move in the blood of the victim with speed
like that of trout in pool, the movements of the
victim become slower and slower and he gradually
sinks down to death.
OF all strange creatures that Nature created to
torment man, and thus force him to clear up the
globe and clean out the plague spots the tse tse fly
Is one Of the strangest, most terrible.
1t differs from ordinary flies that lay eggs in
garbage.

When all the crocodiles have been killed and all the
victims of the sleeping sickness die-as they all die
that disease will never be known again.
Malaria will also be ended, and the human race
will be greatly increased in efficiency when the
mosquitoes are driven out
The problem Of human beings is to find and
wipe out the sources of disease-the swamps in
which are bred the mosquitoes that carry yellow
fever and malaria the crocodiles their eggs, their
young ones, and above all THE POVERTY AND
IGNORANCE by which consumption spreads
It is a long fight that men must wage against
bodily diseases. A war against ignorance

Indifference at the top
Fortunately Nature is just, she does not allow
US to shirk our responsibility.
The germ that is bred in the slums will travel
up the hill to the fine house.
Amosquito carrying yellow fever or malaria at
the end Of his little dagger will sting the rich man
as quickly as he will the poorest.
It is the business of those that are prosperous
and strong only through sci fish desire to protect
themselves and their children-to interest them
selves in the fight against disease
When that fight is won there will be another
fight against MENTAL DISEASE against poisons
that lie in evil thought as in the blood Of the
crocodile, asleep on the Nile mud. ,>

They wait and fear their turn, not knowing
whence the blow may come.
But intelligent men KNOW. They know that
the disease is in the crocodile's blood, and that
CROCODILES CAN BE KILLED

al MEAN MARRIAGE"

Synopsis.-Harriet Field, twenty
eight years old, and beautiful, is
the social secretary of the f1irta-
tious Mrs. Isabel Carter, at
"Crownlands," Richard Carter's
home, and governess of seventeen
year-old Nina Carter. Ward, twen-
ty-four years old and impression
able, fancies himself in love with
his mother'5 attractive secretary.
Mrs. Carter's latest affair is with
young Anthony Pope. and the
youth is taking it very seriously.
Presiding over the teacups this
summer afternoon, Harriet is pro-
foundly disturbed by the arrival of
a visitor, Royal Blondin. Next
day, at a tea party in the city,
Blondin makes himself agreeable
to Nina, and leaves a deep impress
sion on the unsophisticated girl.
Harriet's agitation over the appear
ance of Blondin at "Crownlands"
is explained by the fact that he
had been a disturbing element in
her life ten years before and she
fears him. The man is an avowed
adventurer, living on the gullibility
of the idle rich. He frankly an
nounces to Harriet his intention of
marrying Nina, and urges her to
aid him. She is in a sense in his
power. and after pleading with him
to abandon his scheme agrees to
follow policy of neutrality.
Knowing the tender feeling she has
inspired in Ward Carter, Harriet
is tempted to marry him for the
position and wealth he can give
her, though realizing she does not
love him. Blondln has ingra tiated
himself with Madame Carter, Rich
ards mother, and she is whole
heartedly in favor of his marriage
with Nina. Ward urges Harriet to
marry him. She procrastinates.
Mrs. Carter elopes with Pope. Blon-
din threatens Harriet. She prays
to do what is right. Blondin and
Harriet agree to keep silent about
their past relations.

ORIGIN OF The SALUTE

Approximately 100000 men and
officers were in uniform during the
World war and each of them had to
salute the other. The enlisted men
were told the salute was a mark Of
respect to the uniform, that they were
saluting what the uniform stood for
rather than the man who wore IT. But
of the 4,0O0,000 probably few ever knew
the real meaning and origin Of the
salute. This mark of Difference came
