MALARIA AND
YELLOW JACK
(From N. Y. Herald, January 14,1302.)
“The widow of Dr. Lazeare, who, in
the employ of the Government, went
to Cuba, was inoculated with Yellow
Fever through mosquito bites, and died,
applied to Congress for relief to-day.”
The above tells of the sad culmina
tion of a series of experiments by the
Government, all of which proved con
clusively that the familiar mosquito is
a dangerous vehicle for carrying Ma
laria, “Yellow Jack,” and other malar
ial fevers.
V/
Those who are exposed to mosquitos
or other malarial influences should take
warning. Iron is the fighting element
in the blood and provides nature with
sufficient resistance to ward off disease.
But if the blood is impure or impov
erished, or if there is weakness, it
means that the fighting qualities of the
blood have been lowered, and conse
quently there is danger. If you would
escape, keep the blood pure and prop
erly nourished with
Df. Harter's
Iron Tonic
It supplies the blood with iron in a
natural way. It is recognized every
where as the best blood purifier and
tonic in use, and it has been used foi
half a century.
Houston, Tex., Aug. 1,1901.
“I have used Dr. Harter’*
Iron Tonic myself and in my
family for over twenty-five years, and
can heartily recommend it. I regard It
aa particularly valuable to ward off ma
larial and other fevers.

Selected.
Velvet mouthed politicians who
have been running the State
through the conyention system,
will be relieved sood, for a time
at least, of the great responsibili*
ty of managing State affairs. Of
course they will centre on some
one and thus attempt to continue
themselves in the ascendancy, but
t eir support, and the knowledge
that they always expectsomething
for their bupport, will weaken the
man of their selection. The ma
chine with its Jackson pilots and
ergiteers and country firemen is
sure to be bursted and blown up
at the next State primary election,
and the convention manipulators
will have to go way back and sit
dowu.—Exchange.
Goats Clearing Land.
Prof. W. L. Hutchinson, direc
tor of the Mississippi Experiment
Station, who has just returned
from a trip to Louisiana, reports
a queer but effectual method
adopted by a planter near Wil
son, La., of clearing up a large
tract of new land. Tbe owner has
purchased a herd of 300 Angora
goats and the animals not only
eat up all the briars, vines and
small un derbrush hut they actual
ly bark the and thus kill them,
Oockleburs are devoured with
much avidity, while blackberry
bushes are eaten up with especial
delight. Even the hated bitter
weed is pulled up tbe roots and
devoured, aud the farmer has re
duced the cost of clearing land
not less than 75 per cent., while
his held of animals also yield a
nice revenue in mohair.—Mem

Favoritism in the Army and Navy.
There are many “soft berths,”
both in the army and navy, filled
by men who are so fortunate as to
possess influence of one sort and
anothe. The ideal system would
require every officer to perform
bis his share of foreign duty if in
the army and of sea duty if in the
the navy, and no mere. Favorit
ism which places some men in;
easy positions works injustice to
other officers, who thus are bur
dened with more than‘^betr share
of the unpleasant duties of their
rank.—Pittsburg Gazette.

Worth Remembering.
A fraternal exchange contains
the following very pretty senti.
ment:
“People kiss their dead, who
never think to kiss their living,
they hover over open caskets with
hysterical scbs, but fail to throw
the wealth of affection about those
loved ones who are fighting the
stern battle of life. How unheed'
ingly we permit the opportunities
for carrying sunshine to the lives
of those we love to pass. A word
of cheer to a strugging soul is
worth more than all tho roses of
Christendom piled high on casket
covers. The dead cannot note
the fragrance of the flowers, but
1 the living can; scatter them broad
cast in their pathway, therefore,
and pluck out the thorns. A wel.
come smile, a cheery ‘well done,’
an effectionate look will cause a
rift to break in the lowering cloudB
and permit the glorious sunshine
to gladden the lives of those you
love. ’
A drunken man staggared into a
church one Sunday and sat down
in the pew of one of the deacons.
The preacher was dicoursing on
prevalent popular vices. Soon he
exclaimed: “Where is the drunk
ard?” The drunken man was just
far enough gone to think the call
persol, so rising heavily, replied:
“Here I am,” and rmained stand
ing while the drunkard’s charac
ter and fate were eloquently por
trayed. A few minutes later the
preacher reached another head of
his discourse, and asked, “Where
is the hypocrite?” Gently nudg*
ing his neighbor, the drunkard
said in an audible whisper, ‘ Stand
up, deacon, he means, you this
time. Stand isp and take it like a
man, just as 1 did ! It will do you
good!”—Ram’s Horn.
The only time most people can
save money by not spending it is
whon they haven’t got any.
