A HUMANE WORK. During the meeting of the medical association at Atlantic City, a sugges tion was made that the women physi cians of New York and other towns of the north should co-operate in th« work of teaching the poor to avoid dis ■ease, says the Florida Times-Union. Thus and individual work has be come one of strength and union. The physicians of the female persuasion have already begun at their humane task, and the poor, infected children of the crowded quarters will be saved hy it. The great philanthrophy of this movement can scarce be weighed un til one realizes the want, the igno rance and the disease that reign over the tenement districts of New York. The women especially will be taught to take hygienic care of their little ones as well as of themselves. What is the use of supplying pasteurized tmilk to the infants if the mothers don't know how to feed it to them in a cleanly, sanitary manner. Besides, pasteurized milk does not disinfect a room where baby lives, neither does It make him immune from the dis eases which attack his elders with whom he is in too close contact. Teaching the poor, ignorant mothers is 6aving the race, and no other class of women can be better teachers of the miserable masses than the woman who holds a medical diploma. The lot of rulers In Russia, Turkey, Portugal, Morocco, Persia and Spain, not to speak of some South American countries, might appear to a calmly philosophic observer calculated to dis courage the pretending business. It does not seem to the ordinary man that the job from which you are likely to be forcibly detached by a mob, or dynumite boinb, is worth straining yourself to get. But royal human na ture is such that the pretenders keep Tight on pretending. That Paris doctor who is advocating the removal of the large intestine from every child before the age of three years, on the ground that this organ is a breeding place, for most of the harmful germs that flesh is heir to, has struck a great scientific principle, cays tiie Philadelphia Telegraph. Fol lowing it out, we would have amputa tion of the feet as a cure for corns, of •he nose for snoring, of the stomach lor seasickness, and of the head for head aches. Simple, isn't it? It is the indirect loss which counts adversely when epidemics of any kind break out in a country, and quarantine precautions are instituted by other na tions. The British government has just revoked the orders prohibiting the landing of hay and straw from New \ ork, New Jersey, Ponnsylvania, .Maryland and Delaware, although the foot and mouth disease which appeared among the cattle of those states in 1908 lists been stamped out for many months. Many stocks are making new high records in the New York market, and whether or not the buyers are getting good bargains there isn't much reason to doubt that current prices are pro phetic in respect to the business out look and the good times which are ■needed to support such Wall street op timism. The business of the country is going to make many new records, and that soon. The killing of a little girl by a boy of 12 who was overfond of playing highwayman suggests that the youth of the country should have either less stimulation with high-colored litera ture and moving pictures or more stimulation with the rod. Or a combi nation of bot.ii might not be injuai cious. Only a short while and the aero plane will no longer be a noveltv Just as soon as a sensational Invention be comes an assured success it becomes prosaic, and the world impatiently awaits for something new to thrill. Here is a new cause for alarm! The pauper hog of China is competing witi the corn-fed American porker in the London market. HAPPENINGS! OF AJEEK Latest News Told in Briefest and Best Form. PERSONAL.

MEXICAN RIVER FLOODS HALF OF CITY OF CAMARGO WASHED AWAY. Fully 200 Families Homeless and Bad ly in Need of Food Supplies— No Loss of Life. Laredo, Tex.—A dispatch just re ceived by the mayor of Nuevo Lare do, Mex., from Camargo, Mex., situ ated 125 miles from this city, on the lower Rio Grande, stated that as a re sult of the flooding of the San Juan river, due to the recent heavy rains and the overflow from the Santa Cata rina river, which is a tributary of the San Juan, half the city has been washed away and there is great suf fering among the poor Mexicans.
