SUGGESTS WAYS TO ERADICATE DISEASE Marnr Moores Will Act I nnu All n. aeetlnn of F.apert from the Inltral Slates Marine Ho, pllal Service. The report of the smallpox situation In Omaha aa made by Dr. C. P. Wertenbaker cf New Orleans, who Is officially Inspecting conditions all over the state, was received fey Mayor Moores yesterday morning and Is tnoet gratifying to him. He said: "The doctor's report Is of such a nature s to be both encouraging and helpful to us Id handling this problem of public health. His compliments are appreciated and most assuredly his advice will be followed as nearly to the letter aa possible. The In pectors will at once take up the house-to-house examination in Infected blocks, aa ho recommends, and t shall prepare a cir cular letter embodying his taccinatlon ar gument, which letter will be sent not to a few, but to every business house, factory or other place In which Ave or more persons are working together. In this circular 1 111 add to his remarks my own strongest, solicitation that they all be vaccinated. This new glycerine lymph does away with extremely sore arms and there Is really no excuse why practically all Omahana should not tske this precautionary measure." Dr. Wertenbaker left Omaha to go to foutn Omaha early yesterday morning and will go from there direct to Lincoln. Dr. We rtrn baker's Report. The report of Omaha conditions, one copy of which he aent to the State Board of Health and another to Washington, is given below In full: OMAHA, Mrch S4 To his Honor, lYnnk K. Moores: In arrordance with the Instructions of his excellency. Governor Swage, and with your consent. 1 have this day Investigated the smallpox situa tion In Omaha. 1 have the honor to sub mit the following report, with such sug- J cations as seem advisable to Improve ex sting methods. Dr. J. B. Halph, your commissioner of health, has kindly given me a statement of the methods folowed by this city for the suppression of smallpox, an well as the conditions as they exist at present. In company with Dr. Ralph, I visited the emergency hospital this afternoon and made an Inspection of the building and patients. There were fifty-one patients In Various stages of smallpox at the time of my visit. Several were about recovered and will be ready for discharge in a few days. The emergency hospital Is decidedly above the average of such hospitals. The buildings, while rough, are warm and comfortable and sufficiently equipped for , the purpose. The dining room and cooking arrangements are excellent; the food was bountiful and much better than Is usually . furnished; It was well prepared and well erved. The patients seemed satisfied and as contented as possible under the circum stances. The hospital seems to be effl ',' clently managed. All the patlente were doing well. In regard to existing conditions and methods. It Is evident from the continued ' presence of smallpox In the city, that there must be some weakness In the present methods. It appears that there Is . no systematic house to house Inspection to ascertain the existence of hidden rases of smallpox, the health department relying on the reports of physicians and others for Information. There are doubtless some cases that are not seen by a physician, or . otherwise escape being reported. Each of these rases becomes a center of infection from which spring up a new crop of cases, and the chain becomes interminable. .Locating New Cnaes. In order to check this process It Is neces sary to locate as soon as possible each new rase and safeguard It from Infecting new material. This Is best done by a house- to-house Inspection, which should be re- Jieated at short Intervals until ail danger s past. Next to locating and Isolating existing cases, it ts most Important to render all persons liable to Infection Immune to the disease by vaccination. The use of a pure ?lycernlsed lymph will obviate all trouble rom the excessively sore arms that have raised a prejudice against vaccination, and with such a simple preventive at hand It aeema criminal to permit persona to be- Surprising Results. A Simple Internal Remedy Makes Remarkable Cures of Catarrh. People who have used sprays, inhalers, alvea and washes for catarrh and have found how useless and Inconvenient they are, will be agreeably surprised at results following the use of a pleasant Internal remedy In tablet form; druggist every where admit that Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, -7 'Sgljgt which they sell at 60 cents for full slicd treatment, la the safest, most effective and popular of all catarrh remedies. Nearly all cheap cough mixtures and throat losenges contain opiates; these cheap medicines glTe a temporary relief, es pecially with little children, by destroying nerve sensation; the Irritation In throat, which causes coughing. Is temporarily re coved, not by removing the cause, but by deadening the nervea of feeling, the Irrlta . tlon la not felt, although it la still there and will promptly return. Stuart'e Catarrh Tablets Is the best rem edy to remove catarrhal secretion, whether in the nose, throat or atomarh, because they ar composed of wholesome antiseptics. Blood root. Red gum from Eucalyptus tree, etc; when you use these tableta you know what you are putting Into your system and not taking chances with cocaine, opiates or sirallsr poison ' found In so many catarrh curea and cough v. medicines. i Dr. Ramsdell. in commenting on cstarrh curea, says: "I can heartily recommend Stuart' Catarrh Tablets, because they ccn tain no cocaine nor other dangerous drugs found in so many advertlaed catarrh curea. I have known of many cases of long stand leg catarrh of the head and throat com pletely cured by the dally use of thtae tab leta for aeveral weeks. One case In par ticular, which I could not reach with an Inhaler or epray and where the catarrh caused dally headaches and a noticeable Icaa of hearing, waa entirely cured by this harmlese but effective remedy." Dr. Walnwrlght aays: "1 never Brsl- tat to preecrlbe Btuarfa Catarrh Tablets for catarrhal headacbea and catarrhal desf cess. because I know them to be perfectly eefe for child or adult and have seen many remarkable curea resulting from their regu lsr dally us; because tbey arc advertised and old In drug atore la no reason why any good physician should not use them, because we should seise upon the means of cur wherever fouad." Stuart s Catarrh Tableta are especially valuable tor catarrhal colds In children, because they are pleasant to the taste and iray be used freely to break up aevar sold and croup at lb very beginning, i - - come a menace to the public hearth for th want of Its adoption. The question of compulsory vaccination Is one that mjst be decided bv our city authorities, but I will say that if every person In Omaha was made Immune to smallpox by vaccination you could eradi cate the disease from the city In an In credibly sh.irt time. I am glad to learn that vaccination hns been made a pre requisite for children attending the public schools. This Is a step In the right direc tion. I have offered several suggestions to Dr. Ralph for Improvement In some of the de tail of disinfection and he has accepted them. I Inclose herewith a copy of a publi cation Issue. I by the I'nited Htates Marine Hospital service on the suppression of smallpox. If the recommendations contained therein are carefully followed smallpox will rapidly disappear from your city. To sum up. I recommend: First A house-to-house Inspection, with the prompt Isolation of patients. Hecond The Isolation and vaccination of all persons exposed to smallpox and the disinfection of their clothing. Third Vaccination with pjre tdvoernlsed lymph of ail persons In the cltv that have not been successfully vaccinated within a year. Fourth The prompt and thorough disin fection of all Infected houses am, articles. Fifth That the assistance of all corpora tions, business firms and individuals be Invoked In making general vaccination aa thorough as possible. Conditions Kut Alarming. In conclusion, I beg to state that I do not consider the conditions In Omaha at l alarming. There are more cases of small pox in the city than is desirable, even though most of them are isolated In ne hospital. I nm Informed that there has been a steady decrease In the number of cases for the past month, and this will doubtleset continue as the weather grows warmer and the people live more out of doors, until It disappears. The danger of the situation lies In the fact that unless the existing rases are found and isolated and Infected houses and materials disinfected, the disease will re appear again next winter and the troubles of previous years will be repeated. In this connection It Is suggested that all winter clothing, etc., be thoroughly aired and sunned for several davs before being packed for the summer, ana that on bright, sunny days houses where sickness has oc curred during the winter should be thrown open as much as possible to admit the air and sun. Respectfully, C. P. WERTENBAKER, Fassed Assistant Surgeon, I'nited States Marine Hospital Service, Bpeclal Aide to the Governor. The Hide Supplants the Sword. A half century ago the sword waa con sidered the best known weapon in warfare, but it is now being discarded by the Brit ish soldiers, and the modern rifle ia sub stituted. Many people throughout the country are also discarding old methods of trying to cure headache, nervousness. In somnia, Indigestion snd dyspepsia, and are using Hostetter's Stomach Bittera, the old reliable remedy for these aliments. It Is recommended by physicians, and a trial will convince you of ita value. FOR HOMEOPATHIC HOSPITAL Omaha Physicians Adopt Resolatlons Declaring; Their Parpoi to Bolld.

Sloano'i Tax Negotiations. SAYS HE DECLINED TO PAY AMOUNT DUE firings t p the Irrnmataare 'on In Answer to Moane'a Allegations Repnhllcnna Pleased with Rally Hesalts. At a well attended meeting of repub licans at Twenty-seventh and T streets last night nearly all of the candidates were present and spoke. A great deal of en thusiasm was shown and those who at tended the meeting left with the Impres sion that the next mayor of South Omaha would be a republican. Most of the Inter est in the campaign seems to crater in the head of the ticket and it was openly as serted at this rally that Loechner wa rap Idly losing ground, while Sloane and Carley were not considered in the fight at all. Since Mr. Sloane bss seen fit. through his personal organ, to print a card in relation to his tsxes due the city. City Treasurer Koutsky deems It advisable to make a atatement In regard to the matter and this statement follow: A card appears In the World-Herald under date of March signed by Mr. W. O. Sloane, that Frank Koutsky, republican randldate for mayor, has been endeavoring to mislead the public with respect to cer tain taxes which Mr. Sloane owes to the city of South Omaha and are, aa he con cedes, still unpaid. I wish to say In reply thereto, that at no time during the campaign have' I men tinned Mr. Sloane or his shortcomings to the public and that I am perfectly satisfied to leave the merits of the respective candi dates to the people and to abide by the result of their decision on ADrtl 1. In order, however, that the public may fully under stand this controversy, I desire to say that the books of the city treasurer show that Mr. Sloane is Indebted to the city of South Omaha for taxes to the amount of $233.30. It la also true that Mr. Sloane holds cer tain warrants Issued by the rlty of South Omaha In his favor. Whatever book ac counts he may have or claim to have Is unknown. If, however, he has any such account, It should have been presented to the city before this and some disposition made of It. About February , 1H01, Mr. Sloane came Into the office of the rl'.y treasurer and presented rertaln warrants whleh he desired to have rashed. I called his attention to the fact that these taxes remained unpaid and suggested that he turn the warrants over to apply on his account for taxes, when he replied that he would not pay the taxes, and again asked me to cash the warrants, which I refused to do, but agreed to take them and apply them on the taxes as far as they would go. which offer Mr. Bloane refused. At no time have I made the atatement that Mr. Sloane owed any specific amount of taxes. The statements which I have given herewith are as shown on the books of my office and can be verified by anyone Interested. I desire further to state that Mr. Sloane, as well ss anyone else, knows that any claims he may have against the city, whether liquidated or not, cannot be set off as against a claim for taxes, and that the only way that a tax against an Individual and in favor of the city can be satisfied is either by payment In money or the presentation of a warrant drawn In the proper fund. I desire to state further for the benefit of Mr. Sloane and all other persons, that Mr. Rosewater Is not my manager and Is In no way connected with the management of my present campaign; that I desire to make the race for mayor In this election on my merits, and that I do not believe that any attempts that Mr. S'osne or any one else may make to drag Mr. Rosewater's name Into this campaign will Influence the voters of South Orrmha In any manner whatever and that the people will pass upon the merlta of the respective candidates upon election day regardless of. the inu endos of Mr. Sloane or anyone else regard ing the backing of the various candidate. Respectfully, FRANK KOUTSKY, Confera wfth Physicians. Dr. C. P. Wertenbaker, who ia in charg-s of the government marine hospital at New Orleana, waa a visitor In the city yester day. H met member of the Board of Health and quite a number of the local physicians at the council chamber at noon. Dr. Wertenbaker addressed those pretent on health matters and paid particular at tention to smallpox and other contagious diseases. The doctor made a number of auggestions which will doubtless be taken up by the Board of Health at one. Complaint About Kmergeuey Hoapltal J. D. Homan. nurae at the emergency hospital, was at the city hall yesterday complaining about the condition of the walls. He asserted that the plastering was Imperfect and that the walls were so rough that It would, under the circum stance, be Impossible to keep the place In a aanltary condition. The plan waa to avoid a white finish on the wall so that whitewash could be laid on every week or two. Mr. Homan aaya that the condition of the walla will harbor all of the small pox germs In Nebraska. City Engineer Beal admit that the plastering I not up to standard and he will not approve the work if be la called upon to decide the question of the completion of the hospital. Mr. Homan la moving- hi household goods Into the living room of the hospital, but he insist that the plastering in the ward room be changed ao aa to conform to the specifications.
