Robert Morris To the Editor of the "Herald" Sir: There is one fault 1 find the American historian of today .That s. they do not give enough space to .(obert Morris. Washington was a ,-reat General. Franklin was a greet pleader and Jefferson was a great writer. Ail those men ere leaders ol heir class, hut do you not think U t was not for Robert Morris we would, today have our Union and its emblem—our national flag? Did not Morris raise money in fact, several million dollars, on his own credit and endorse many notes to help Washing-, in pay his half starved army, hall oxen and half paid men at their win--r Quarters at Valley Forge (n 17771 Gf course there may have been othei -uen to take his place If they were -akod. But the point is, would out National Union and the great United States of America be here today 11 t was not tor Robert Morris? I will ot the people answer that question .or themselves. But I do wish the .cQool children of our country would .ook upon Robert Morris as the ear ■ lour of our country a» well as Georg* iVaxbingtuc. the flalher of our Oountry. WILLIAM 1 MARTIN.

SLAVES TO GOOD HABITS. They Never Knew the Freedom of the •o Called Wrong Way. On* of the essential* to a healthy Ufa Is habit By doing necessary things with regularity we are spared the friction of haphazard. But those panona are real slaves to their little, good habits who fear to move out of tbs ruts once In awhile. They never know the glorious freedom of doing everything tbs so called wrong way. Because they are accustomed to rising at 7 o'clock they are upaet for tha entire day if by some chance they

re aroused aM.

It may be that an expedition ha* sen arranged for a certain hour. The slaves of little, good habits keej) the entire, company waiting because a hairpin must be fixed In the usual way. It would 1 be a tin in this slavish creed > go without that hairpin just once. “I never leave the house without trying all ths doors," said the woman who made her friends miss the last car downtown before the hour appointed for the meeting. When she returned home she found that ths pantry win dow had been broken and her best taken away. Retribution does not always corns so speedily to the slaves of little, good habits, bnt they experience a negative punishment In the good things of life they miss. Besides being an Indication of aga, the slavery to tittle, good habits Is a thief of happiness. It robs ns of many pleasures. We miss the opening ode tecause we never can leave the bouse until we have pnt the cat in the cellar. Once, just once, left In the kftchcn, he might Jump on the table, but shall we more regret at having to wash an extra tablecloth than at losing the first number on the programme we wanted especially to hear? It occasions mors worry to some people to do anything the least bit unusual than others feel for the loss of a ns. If unexpected guests arrive TJfi an afternoon when there Is tbs regular weekly mending to do re mads to feel unwelcome, beloved. What has always been on Wednesday must continue to be performed on that day la a rule-of Bte that some women would not willingly break for anything.

Gorgas whose work as chief sanitary offleer of ths Panama canal tons and previous work of like nature have been recognised by the medics] profession In hte election to the presidency of the American Medical association, has at talced an international reputation among scientists. He is generally given credit tor the measures that freed Havana of yellow fever and made the canal zone, ones considered one of the deadliest spots In the world, as healthful a* Illinois or VennonL Col. Gorgaa ta a native of the south. He was born In Mobile, Ala.. October 3, 1864. Hte father wa» a leader In the confederate army—Gen. Joslah Gorgaa. At ths age of 21 Col. Gorgaa was gradMated from the Unlverslty-of the South, Sewanee, Tenn. He finished hi* professional course tour years later at Bellevue hospital medical collage, New York city, and became a member of the bouse staff of the hospital. After a few months of thte work he entered the army service. Hte first appointment was as a lieutenant of the medical corps. In 1880. He was sent to Port Brown, Texas, where the victim of an attack of yellow fever. Misfortunes have been the making of many men, and in the case ot CoL Gorgaa personal experience with the dread disease gave him an Interest In it that was destined to bear Important result* tor the good of the

world.

One year after the appointment of Lieut. Gorgaa to the army service. Dr. Carlo* Finlay, a practicing physician in Havana, first brought to the notice of the world the theory thnt mot-

of such a thing.

Every toothbrush should be thoroughly rinsed after each time of using with fresh clear water and at least once or twlcej week dipped In a weak solution of carbolic acid and water. It should always be hung, never ileasiy on the top of t tend or pnt into- a in too friendly proximity to those of ths rest of the family. One vary dainty young woman has s number of small bags made of thin silk ■ which ah* slips over her toothbrush when not In use to keep It ont of the dust Each bag has a narrow elastic at the top, eo the necessity of tying It each time is removed. N*ver use a toothbrush in Its eld age. Far better Is it to boy cheap -ones and throw them away when they begin to shed bristles. After all, thte bristle shedding Is a matter of lock, for many of ths most expensive brashes wear no batter than a fifteen cent on*.

Ronald Rosa of the Brit-ish-Indie medical service also discovered that malaria was also carried one person to another by ths bite ef the anopheles mosquito, and scientists began to awaken to the Importance of systematic and thorough legation on thte subject Co). Gorgaa made such an Investigation In

Cuba.

Mosquitoes, according to the army imvestigatlona do not originate the germs ef either yellow fever or malaria, hut earry both, after biting human beluga The slegomyla Insects are natives Of India and the Philippines, bnt the yellow fever organism haa nevei been taken Into those countries, hence the mosquitoes are not dangerous to life or health there.
