FEVER SITUATION
lb IMPROVED.
It is thought that yellow fev¬
er will be stamped out
in short while.
New Orleans, Sept. 26.---Re¬
port to 6 p. m.:
New cases, 31.
Total to date, 2,SS9.
Deaths, 5.
Total to date, 375.
New foci, 7.
Under treatment, 286.
Cases discharged, 2,238.
Though the deaths were more
numerous than since Sunday, the
fever situation t"lay was regarded
as showing unmistakable signs of
improvement. Cases were report¬
ed infrequently during the day
and the total for the twenty-fours
hours was considerably favorable.
The deaths were on or below (At¬
mil street, as were a large major-
ity of the cases reported. In the
lower section of the city the phy¬
sicians consider the disease well in
hand, with the probability that
October will see its entire remov-
al.
Isolated cases are appearing
where people are neglecting local
physicians and risking the
opment of concealed centers oi
infection. Dr. White today had
Surgeon Berry engaged in an in¬
vestigation of such eases with the
promise of affidavits against them.
Dr. White rs disposed to overlook
the transgressions of the poorer
classes, but he is determined that
no shall one fail whojs to make able to report have of a doctor
case
For the past three days thosu-
picious district has been unusually
small, but Tuesday’s suspicious
list is large enough to warrant the
belief that Wednesday’s
will be larger than for the two
preceding days, a group of four
cases among nuns in the convent
of Perpetual Adoration on Marias
street was reported by the attend-
ing physician. The infection
was discovered three weeks ago
through the death of a sister, and
a few days ago two more eases
were developed. Now four more
are reported.

Some Good Advice to
Farmers.
Dear Editor: A fewTtema from
our section this week.
Cotton pickings have gone the
rounds ' and corn gathering is the
topic of the day.
The farmers are delighted with
a heavy corn crop, notwithstand-
hig the cotton crop is 30 per cent,
£dlort '’ potatoes arc in fine condi-
tio »-
Farmers do not let the rain
catch your seed peas in the field.
Double the manure pile and
you may double the crop; it is far
better than buying a new farm.
Do not let the noon hour eat up
the other ten.
The corn row will never be
straight if you look behind you.
If nine-tenths of the dogs’ tails
wore cut off to the ears the coun¬
try would be better off a thousand
fold. *
The farmer who burns much
will soon find a hole
11 his pocket book.
Elbow grease and self denial
1 will make a farmer rich on trial.
