HE Panama Canal is serving signally good
purpose beside that Of acting as short cut
for shipping transportation It Is becoming the
vast sieve which Sits out disease and disease
bearing yermine from vessels, and thus protects
the world In remarkable way from the spread OF
contagious disease and plague.
Ships enter the Panama Canal from all for
ieign ports from yellow fever districts from
typhus territory, from the plague spots Of the uni
verse. BY reason OF the location Of the canal IL is
possible To make OF It the quarantine stronghold
of marine activity. a recent report Of the Panama
Canal Health Department tells about the fumiga-
tlon OF ships entering the canal, Of instruction
given to owners agents, and officers Of ships re-
garding the necessity for adequately guarding yes-
sells from rats, Any indication OF disease out
break upon a vessel entering the Panama Canal
is rigidly investigated, passengers and crews are
yaccinated and every effort made TO thoroughly
check the disease and render the vessel free from
contaglon before leaving tile canal for its destin;,
tion. Two instances are cited OF vessels; one with
cerebrospinal meningitis and one with mild small
pox aboard that were SO handled that no secon-
dairy cases developed, and no spread to other ships
occurred.
The protection this affords TO the worlds ship
ping ports can well be imagined. Not only is the
danger Of carrying contagion from one country TO
another greatly lessened but the education given
to ship owners and commanders has so taken root
that vessels formerly full Of rats and disease are
now free from such pests, and pride is taken in
claiming clean blltof health from the quarantine
and health officers.

THE CHRISTMAS SHOPPING.

pers are facing the shortest shopping season in
long time Less than three weeks remain in which
to get ready for Christmas, and the coming days
are going 70 see enormous strain upon those who
serve the public.
Fairmont shoppers should make an unbreak.
able rule to shop during the morning hours. Get
the house work systemitzed SO that o'clock will
see local buyers in the stores; this will not only
give those who live In the city every advantage in
their buying, but 1t will clear the way for out Of
town shoppers who cannot reach the city early
and who must depend upon the afternoon hours
for their buying.
II local women would but picture the women
who must ride hours on crowded street cars, must
perhaps drive two three miles in order to reach
the cars, and repeat this drive the way home,
who must perhaps bring little children with them
In order 10 come at all, surely the women of Fair
mont would clear the way for those who are thus
handicapped and turn over the space and the
clerk service to out of town shoppers in the after
noon.
ManySwomen from the country can spare but
one day to come to town to do all their shopping
1t Is not possible for them to run into the stores
every day. and numbers Of these women have been
compelIedto leave town with but half their err
rands accomplished because of inability to get
waited on Local women have to but think OF
these things to see the point, and there will GER
tainl strong effort made by the local shoppers
to get out Of the way by lunch time.
1t Saturday night was any criterion of the
christmas crowds, the season is going 70 surpass
anything the city has ever witnessed. Trade Elk!
pansion programs put on by the merchants are
bearing fruit in the response from outside COM
mpnities. A vast number of persons are going to
shop in Fairmont this season who have been in
the habit Of going elsewhere.

eERslaNY THINNING ABOUT PROHIBITION.

fERMANY with its beer gardens and its great
Nk,consumption of liquors would be the last
country on earth where prohibition sentiment
could ind footing the average person would coll
ciude. yet in Germany prohibition sentiment is
growing by such leaps and bounds that the anti
prohibition forces are becoming greatly alarmed
and areSorganizing to combat feeling that will
put them out Of business altogether If not checked.
Dry sgmpathzers are agitating the question by
means Of straw votes, and few days ago in an
industrial center of Hanover, bordering. on
westphalias out of over thirteen thousand votes
cast, q little better than ninety-one per cent of
them were for absolute prohibition. It is purposed
10 take the straw vote throughout all of Germany.
The prohibltionists see their opportunity in re-
cent federal action that was taken because OF
economic conditions. Federal committees are re-
commanding reduction in the consumption OF
alcoholic beverages, and the Ministry OF Economics
seem to think that national prohibition is only a
tergot time
while there was storm Of protest In foreign
countries over the attitude taken In this country
about The carrying Of intoxicants into American
ports ~ foreign yesselssyet at the time when the
argument was most bitter, there was strong un-

there were a wrong 1t would be
