GORGAS TO CLEAN UP PERU
MnJ. Gen. William C. Gorgas, for
merly surgeon general of tho United
States army, has made a five-year
contract with the Peruvian govern
ment to clean up Peru, and General
Gorgas is to get $15,000 a year for do
ing It. The work will begin next Jnn
uary. It was Gorgas who was chief san
itary ollicer In Havana from 1898 to
11)02. What ho did to the mosquito
nnd the yellow fever Is well known.
His work in Cuba Is really tho begin
ning of the end of yellow fever the
world over wherever the people will
clean up.
From 1004 to 1913 Gorgas was
In sanitary charge of the Panama
Cannl zone. He exterminated yellow
fever, ami the bubonic plague and re
duced malaria, typhoid and dysentery
over 50 per cent.
Yellow fever, having been driven
from pillar to post, then settled at
Guayaquil, Ecuador, as its steady residence. It began there In 1S42, when it
killed off half the population. The Gorgas commission got after It. Now
Guayaquil reports a clean bill of health.
When the North temperate zone gets crowded the next big migration will
be to Central America, the garden spot of the world. And William C. Gorgas
has probably done more than any other man to make It a place where the
white man can live.

this way:
Her father, the late Admiral
Peary, acknowledged discoverer of the
North Pole, married her mother In
Washington In 18S8. lie had already
achieved fame as an Arctic explorer.
Mrs. Peary accompanied her husband
on the 1891-2 expedition and again

her husband on the 1897 expedition. In 1900 she went north to meet him;
her ship was caught in the ice and mother and daughter wintered at Capo

Mrs. Peary has written several Arctic books, among them "The Snow

of the better lenther bags to qulto an

IMPORTANCE OF WATER IN OUR

There Is probably nothing so bene
ficial to the masses as a supply o(

drinking foun
t n I n s urrnnged
for their comfort
In most towns
nnd villages nil over our country. 1m
fonts, young children nnd nnlmnU
frequently suffer, especially In warm
weather, for want of wntcr, not being
nble to mnko tholr wnnt known.
Plenty of water taken Into tho sys
tem Is an absolute necessity for tho
literal washing out of waste materlnla
from the blood. Professor Ethoridgo
In discussing the medical vnlue of wn
tor says:
"Cold wntcr drunk In quantities In
the evening will dissolve nnd flush
blood Impurities which, producing
cerebral Irritation by their frlctlonnl
contact In their pnssngo through the
capillaries, thus causing Insomnln nnd
nervousness, now find their way out
of tho body through the kidneys."
Tho loudly heralded diuretic proper
ties of various mineral springs arc
chiefly due to the fnct that water Is
taken there In such lnrge quantities.
It Is n popular belief that water Is
fattening, nnd the renson Is enslly un
derstood, for It Is tho medium for con
veying mntcrlnl to nil parts of the
body and for removing wnste prod
ucts. Hence those who drink wntet
freely .must hnve the nutritive mntcrlnl
best distributed throughout theli
bodies nnd tho wnste products most
quickly thrown off.
The question of drinking wntet
while taking food nt mcnls Is often
rnlscd, ninny claiming that It dilutes
tho gastric Juice. However, experi
ments show digestion hns been In
creased from n half hour to an hour
when dry food hns been eaten If It
Is well moistened by a glass of wntet
while eating. The drynessof the food
must be a guldo In this, us It will
nnturnlly cnuso n sensation of thirst,
and we mny safely drink while cntlng
until the sensation Is overcome.
Tho saying that "one mnn's food 1b
another mnn's" poison" is hut nnother
way of expressing tho Impossibility of
llxlnsr ft rigid dietary for civilized man
In his present condition; but it Is pos
slhlo to detormlna what elements in
food nnd drink nro likely to ho Injuri

vegetable Is drained. Many vegetable?
such as green peas, cabbage, corn,
string beans, and In fact, all vege-'
tables which grow on top of the
ground should be cooked In ns little
water as possible and what Is left used
In a sauce to servo with the vegetable.
In that way all the desirable minerals
are taken Into the body. Children may
lie taught early to eat splnnch, chard,
water cress, dandelion greens nnd
other greens by giving tho vegetable
In a cream soup. Thus they learn tc
like the taste and the eating of the
vegetable follows without rebellion.
A normal person should bo able to
eat. If not enjoy, all kinds of vege
tables. The training, however, must
come early, as habits are easy to form
but hard to break.
Celery Is n vegetable which Is most
commonly served fresh nnd crisp. It
