ANOTHER BREEDING PLACE.

We commented recently upon Mecca
as the breeding spot for cholera, and the
necessity for civilized nations moving in
some form to abate the nuisance. We
then said that there are other homes of
cholera that should have like attention.
One of these is India. 1t is really as bad
as Mecca and the well of Zemzen.
Ernest Hart, Chairman of the National
Health Society of England, says of this
home of the pest, the disease being estab-
lished endemically throughout a wide
area that it is not as most Indian author
tiles once believed and many would even
now have us believe, due to any mysteri-
GUS or unpreveutable causes, but in vir-
tue of conditions which may all of them
be removed; I'm India, as elsewhere,
water has been the chief nurse and dis
seminater of cholera. If every town and
village in India were provided with pure
and properly protected water, the So
called epidemic area would soon be-
come indefinite. Dr. NJ. G. Furnell, who
has had great experience as Surgeon
General of Madras, is firmly of the
opinion that the general method of the
propagation of cholera in India is by
means of specifically polluted water, and
he has had no difficulty in finding masses
of facts in support of his opinions. The
experiences of Calcutta, as observed by
DIR. w. J. Simpson, the Health officer of
that city, go to show that those persons
who have an abundant and pure water
class ofnaGves-escape cholera epidemics,
except in isolated instances which can
generally be accounted for; while the
natives, who necessarily depend on tank
water, suffer severely when tank be-
comes polluted by the excreta of a cholera
patient 1t must be remembered that the
natives bathe and wash their utensils and
clothes in the tank because it is the only
available place for doing so, and that they
use the water of the tank, contaminated
as it is, in addition by soakage and
nNNaSSs AOA NOOhlAB QEllkluR, D9-
cause it is the only available water sup
ply for domestic purposes. DIR. Simpson
raises very earnest cry against the
scarcity of pure water. The first re-
quisite for Howrah and the suburbs of
Calcutta is liberal water supply, whilst
Calcutta itself needs an increased supply"
Now as England has control of India it
is possible for her to begin readjust-
ment of conditions, which can be ac-
complished in few years, by which
India as cholera threat may be taken
out of the catalogue of menace. 1t would
be entirely proper for other nations to
invite England to enter upon the work,
and to second her effort by influences
brought to bear upon the Indian Princes
and people. 1t is entirely possible to do
this. Cholera can be stamped out the
world over and the process is the enforce
ment of cleanliness and the publication
OF the water supply.

THE dives of San Francisco have found
a new way to ''beat" the law. They now
open as ordinary saloons without female
walters; but the women come just the
same. This time they appear as guests,
visitors, precisely as men do. They are
not, except secretly, in the employment
of the dive keepers. OF course this state
is worse than the former. As visitors,
the women will be capable of more harm
than as walters. 1t now remains to be
seen if the Supervisors of San Francisco
are equal to the task of 'beating'' the
dive keepers at the new game. 1t should
not be difficult to do this-let the City
Board refuse licenses to all low drinking
places where women are visitors. The
Supervisors have a clear legal right to
do so.
