A point which is arousino
greater popular apprehension
than anything else in England
is a statement in a public ad-
dress by DR. Ernest Hart. DR.
Hart is the chairman of the Ma
tlonal Health Society and editor

Rod OF incubation is one to fif-
teen days. The average is two
to five days. The English pub
hc has assumed that the disease
always breaks out within twenty
four hours after infection. The
Government health authorities
seem to hold the latter belief, for
all their quarantine regulations
are based on that assumption.
Anybody in good health who has
not travelled on an infected shin
is allowed to land and go his
way as soon as he reaches the
English shores.

his displacement from the Demo-

folly Of trying to put a man down

won the right by priority, simply
because tickle Fortune has re-

two papers filling the field here
