How Roosevelt Built the Canal.
(Miami. Fla. News. ]

In September, 1905, Colonel Gorgas head of the Health Department of the Panama Canal Zone, came into a room where of his aids were working over the body of who had died of yellow fever.
 Take a good look at this man, boys" he said for it's the last case of yellow fever you ever will see. There will never be any deaths from this cause in Panama"
 Years before, yellow fever had defeated the efforts of the French to cut canal across the Isthmus of Panama. The the French com pany sent to operate the enterprise died like flies Now the United States had decided to try where France had failed.
 Success was a question of stamping out the disease which had defeated the French. Gorgas was sent to Panama to do that job He found the inevitable epidemic under way. There many deaths and finally this last one It Gorgas said There never to be another death from yellow fever in Panama
 And the canal could be and was built. So Gorgas won immortal fame
 Of course, everybody in the United States, and especially the Government and the men in charge of the canal work backed Gorgas up while doing this jobl Well, that's a strange story They did not
 Gorgas had learned at Havana that the starting point of yellow fever not filth, had previously been supposed, but the bite of mosquito. He went to Panama, not scrubbing cities, as the old theory required, but oiing ponds and draining swamps The conservative, sound practical people Of the country were scandazed. Gorgas foong with mosquitoes while yellow fever ragged Col. Teodore Shonts, in charge at Panama. requested Gorgas' removal.
 A part of the medical profession joined in the demand. The mosquito theory was new and radical. Gorgas, oiling ponds for yellow fever looked as silly as the Wrights trying to fly. The Panama Com mission joined in the demand for Gorgas's removal Secretary of War Taft concurred. It was up to President Roosevelt.
 The President turned for information this scientific subject from engineers and politicians to scientists. His friend, Dr. Lambert, told him that Goagas was right Fighting mosquitoes not scrub ping cities, the way to beat yellow fever.
 President Roosevelt thought that it was by talk ing the Calan Zone away from Colombia he built the Panama Canal Actually, it was by taking the new knowledge of science against the dictum of engineers and politicians a medical matter that he saved the canal. He kept Gorgas Yellow fever was stamped out. The canal was built.
 Could business depression maker of the unem- ployment which breaks the hearts and ruins the morale of millions of workers, be stamped out and prevented as yellow fever was?
 The Shontses and the politician canal commits sions of the business would say it can't be done. Any Gorgas who shows up with studied plans to that purpose they would wrathfuly dismiss.
 But the tale has not yet been told.

Memorial Day observed in Juneau today and throughout the world where there are Americans marks the sixty yfifth annual observance of May 30 in honor of the Union soldiers and sailors that killed in the Civil War The order establishing the day was made in 1868 by Gen. John A. Logan then Commander -in-Chef of the Grand Army of the Republic The order provided for decorating the graves of those who died in defense of their country and expressed the hope that the country would keep up the practice from year to year.
 The practice has been kept up until in most of the States Memorial Day is public holiday It has been extended to include within it's scope the dead of all countrys and those sailors and soldiers who died after war Long ago it was made to include the soldiers and sailors of the South as well as those of the North.

A REPUBLICAN WET IN OHIO.

Usually when in a spirit of economy Congress or a Department of the Government aboishes an activity that has been giving employment to lot of people including, of course, elaborate staff of high salaried experts, the staff is retained and only the activities cease. Enough money is provided to permit the inactive staff to stand guard and be ready in case the need for activities should ap- pear again That not the case, however, with Assistant Secretary of the Navy David S Ingals in charge of Aeronautics. When his activities were abolished he quit In fact it was he who discovered that his branch of the service was through with its work and he asked for it's abolition and for the abolition of his position. That was very fine example of the sort of quality needed in the public service
 Under the circumstances it was not surprising that he while still in the first half of his thirties was nominated by the Republicans for Governor of Ohio with 10000 votes to spare. He defeated an old time politician with what regarded as
 first-class organization Secretary of State Brown He wet.
 He filed his friends say, because it the biggest thing lying within his grasp. He felt that he could afford to against Gov White in what is believed to be a Democratic year. He is young enough to come bcak if defeat should be his DOT ton He is safely buttressed against the ravages of depression. His father is safely fixed rail- road President and he has the Tafts for unces and cousins and a rich wife.
 Ingalls is the sort of that one likes to see in the public service. He was the leading naval flying ace during the war, and he has been busy all the time since. He has for instant tried to get by what he has done. He has been interested in what he is doing, and it is not hard to believe that Coy. White will know that there has been campaign in Ohio before he is reelected next November.

PULL WEEDS FOR HEALTH.

ITO pull weed is healthy deed" is suggested spring slogan for both children and grown-ups by Dr. Ernest H Lines, Chief Medical Director of the New York Life Insurance Company who pointed out that gardening during the spring and school vacation days is beneficial form of physical exercise having definite and proven health value.
 Gardening states pr. Lines, provided it is not undertaken too ambitious scale is not only interesting pastime which keeps in the sunshine and fresh air but the physical exercise also develops and strengthens practically all the muscles of the body The resultant benefit to the health of the individual is both immediate and lasting It is of the very best forms of recrea- tion.
 "Furthermore, the study of nature, and the tendency to observation and study of the natural objects around develops the mind"
 Dr. Lines suggests that parents who live in sub urban and country districts should encourage their children to raise gardens while on their school vacations. and recommends that the boys might raise vegetables, and food products like corn and potatoes while the girls plant and cultivate flowers
 Another valuable aid to individual health which would also benefit the health of the community he declares, would be achieved if groups of school children the unemployed organized to free the vacant spaces and countryside of harmful and unsightly weeds which favor the breeding of flies and other insects and the pollen from which causes hay fever and other respiratory irritations
 Even in the city, adds Dr. Lines, the young folks who do not have small lawn or back yard may plant gardens by organizing among themselves and taking suitable vacant lots the resulting crops to be shared equally among the participants
 Many good books on gardening may be had from
