PRECAUTIONS AGAINST
BUBONIC PLAGUE.

Plagre germs flourish In filth,
in garbage and in damp. dark or
:, foul places. Sunlight and pure
air are destroyers of plague
germs.
Keep clean: wash the hands
often, and battle frequently.
All cuts and scratches should
be covered. preferably with adj
hesive plaster.
Eat fresh and well-cooked
food.
All cases reported here since
the plague appeared. with one
exception, developed inguinal
buboes. logically pointing to in
lection from the lower extremi-
ties. The victims were also per-
sons accustomed to go barefoot.
II Is the opinion Of DR.. kita-
sato. the celebrated plague spe-
cialist. that where the inguinal
glands were affected the infec-
ton came from the feet. There
fore, do not go barefoot: 1t is
dangerous to go barefoot in
times like this: wear shoes.
Destroy rats and other YER
min. Medical experts agree that
rats carry and spread the in
lection broadcast and are the
principal source Of danger. De-
stroy all the rats and vermin on
your premises and the danger Of
plague will become less.

President cooper's Statement.

President Cooper. speaking through
an interpreter, said TO the Chinese
present:
Il called this meeting for the pur-
pose of devising ways by which we can
assist each other at this time. The
quarantine will be very great incon-
venience 10 every one. but the Board
will assist in every way TO make it as
light as possible. l want you gentle
men TO exercise your influence over
your countrymen SO there will be no
more friction between the BoarS of
Health and those of your people who
happen to be put to any trouble.
1t has come TO my notice that there
are certain Chinese who have posted
notices around town derogatory 10 the
Chinese Consul and Vice Consul, hold
ing them responsible for the conditions
which the quarantine brought upon
them, and for cremating them. I wish
TO state. gentlemen, that has nothing
10 do with the Consul. but rests entire
ly win the Board of Health.
1T is charged against the Board of
Health that we are making discrimi
nations against the Chinese in favor OF
the Japanese. That is not so. There
have been no cases of plague amongst
the Japanese. If you will remember, it
was only last Saturday that a white girl
died of the plague, and we cremated
her just the same as we did in the cases
of your countrymen.
You may be sure, gentlemen, that
there is no intention of the Board to
against the Chinese. That
IS not so. It IS unfortunate that the
disease has appeared almost entirely
in your people. That is all.
Above all things, | want you to as
sist the Board in keeping peace and
quiet among your countrymen, and the

The improperly of publishing. after an au-
thor's death. those scraps and discarded works
which he himself would never have permitted
any one to print is sufficiently exposed, as we
! have often pointed out, on grounds OF respect
toward the dead mans memory. There is. how
ever. another side of the question to which
allusion might proftably be made How about
the purchase of the book that is announced as
containing much hitherto unpublished' ma
terial? 1t is true that if he is willing to assist
at the ghoulis task of dragging buried indis-
cretons to the light, he can hardly expect much
sympathy when he bewas the paucity OF
"new" material in the book he has bought; but
this does not excuse the editor who promises
thing and does not give it.. Most of these post
humOus volumes are hcraldcd in advance as
throwing new light on the history and work
of the author concerned. The editor cannot
blame the journals that spread his announce
ment Their authority can always be traced TO
him. And after they have prepared the world
for weighty revelations. the promised gift Is
usually discovered to be quite without novelty
or value. This raises not only a question Of
taste but a question Of morals Though the dis
cussion of an Academy for England like the
Academy Of France has gone on fr'iiilessly
enough since Matthew Arnold began it, there
can be no doubt that such tribunal would b.
Immensely useful if all posthumous works were
