STA TIE SANITARY ASSOCZ4.
T/ON.

The importance of educating the
people of the Southern States, and
particularly of the Gulf States, in
some simple and rudimentary
principles of public sanitation can
not be overstated.
The wild and senseIess panic
which seized upon the people of
most parts Of the Southern States
last fall 1t the very mention of
yellow fever, and the barbarism,
and even savagery, with which in
dividuals from supposed infected
localities, and, indeed, all strang-
ers, were treated when they fell
into the hands of the shotgun
quarantine authorities, and the
absolute stoppase and paralysis of
business, were experiences to which
the inhabitants of no civilized
country should be exposed, and
something which it is prayed shall
never be repeated in this country.
The only real remedy is to edu-
cate the people up to the fact that
security and complete protection
from an infections and contagious
disease can be accomplished by
proper attention to certain simple
precautions and the adoption of
enlightened sanitary measures, and
It IS to fsmiliarize the people at
large with those facts, and to fur
nish means for their systematic in
struction in what is necessary in
such cases, that the Louisiana Sani-
sary As~eiation has been formed.
!: is gratifying to note THAT the
idea of organizing for such an i'm
portant work oxigina ted with some
enlightened professional physi
clans and number of laymen of
St. Landry parish, and the associa-
ton which has grown out of it has
been duly chartered in that parish.
But the enterprise is not to be con-
fined to that or any other locality,
for the association which has been
chartered is State organization,
10 be operative in every part of
louisiana, and to court co-opera-
sion with similar organizations in
other States.
A most harmful notion was put
forward with much persistence and
activity by some members of the
medical profession in this city last
fall, to the effect that certain con-
tagious and infectious diseases null
tiply their deadly bacteria with
such astonishing rapidity, and in
such inconceivably overpowering
numbers, that in a very brief period
of time they can fill up with their
deleterious influences the entire
atmosphere in and over a city, and
that, therefore, all attempts at
sanitation are utterly futile.
This notion, which is a relic of
the Dark Ages, was extensively
circulated and her-lied as if it had
been an authoritative deliverance,
and it exerted most injurious eff
feet in disturbing popular conf
dence in any bygienic and sanitary
measures, and in confirming igno-
rant persons in their belief that
only the most complete and abso-
lutte non-intercourse could offer any
protection.
1t was the propagation of such a
belief among the people that caused
the forcible stopping of railway
trains and the exclusion of all pas
sengers, mails and merchandise
from many localities in the South
ern States.
The object Of the State Sanitary
Association is to combat the me-
diaeval ignorance of and prejudice
against modern sanitary methods,
and to teach the people at large
that there is real virtue in en-

Washington's birthday and Mardi

have been crowned with success in
the past, and there is no reason
why another one should not meet
with the same result.

Another wonder of the nine
teenth century is acetylene gas as
an illuminant, generated by the
simplest form of machine from cal
cium carbide, made from powdered
chalk and coal in the electric fur
mace. The exhibition made of this
new light during the week at Lees
drug store, has attracted much at
tention and developed great in
terest. 1t is pure white light of
most intense br,lliancy, a jet not
larger than that of an ordinary Goa;
oil lamp developing $50 candle
power, burns perfectly motionless
and throws out less heat than any
gas known, and is comparatively
Inexpensive. Messrs. Jeff Arnan-
DEE and Geo. Pellerin are introduc-
ing the new illuminant in these
parts and have already placed sew
eral machines in town for the light
ing of places of business. To-mor-
row night they will light up the
Opera House with the eight light
machine they have, though this will
not be fair test, as the machine is
not of sufficient power for so large
an area.-New Iberia Enterprise.
