HOSPITAL site
is SELECTED
Health Board Chooses SPIT
Northeast of Town.
Preparations to Prevent an
Epidemic Are Continued.
DR.. Lee. of State Board,
on Smallpox Conditions.

Freeland Board of Health met Satur-
day evening to take further action on
the matters which at present are giving
the members much concern, viz, the
protection of the town against smallpox.
School Director McCole and Council
man Hincer represented their respective
bodies at the meeting. Burgess Boyle
was also present.
The Board of Health reported that
site for an emergency hospital has been
selected. 1t is located on the Markle
tract east of Alvinton, near an abandon
ed saw-mil, off from the old stageroad
which runs between White Haven and
Freeland.
The site is said to be an ideal one for
pest-house and ii it becomes necessary
to erect an hospital for persons afflicted
with smallpox no better location could
be found.
Council will be asked to approve the
selection of this site.
Owing to the large increase of work
which has lately fallen to the lot of the
health officer to perform, the salary of
this official was increased from $40 to
$50 per month.
Burgess Boyle promised the board
the support of the police department of
issued for the purpose of preventing an
epidemic.
The board decided that it is advisable
for all employees of the overall factory
and silk mill to become vaccinated with
out delay. All stores, shops, etc,
should be fumigated regularly, and the
employees vaccinated.
Superintendent Bleckley, of the silk
Mill Company, reported that an order
embodying the above had been issued
at their mill and that those who fail to
act accordingly will not be retained as
employees.
The health of the town and kindred
subjects were fully discussed by the
members before adjourning.
DR.. Benjamin Lee, secretary of the
State Board Of Health, has given out
these views relative to smallpox and
its creation:
There are two reasons why small
pox increases in winter One is that
heat destroys the virus, as it also does
the vaccine virus. The makers of vac
cine virus direct that it be kept in an
ice box, so that its potency may be un-
impaired Some physicians are care
less about this, and as u consequence
their vaccination fails TO take.
"The other reason is that the houses
of the sick in winter are closed so tight
that the atmosphere becomes impure.
Next to heat, fresh air is the deadliest
enemy of smallpox virus. When fuel is
not abundant the house must be kept
closed in order that the inmates may be
warm, and as a result the wholesome
elements are replaced by poisonous ex-
halations. The effect is two-thirds
general condition of the health is im
paired and the germs thrive in the poi
sonous atmosphere"
Il notice the newspapers advocate
careful cleaning of the streets aud Of
houses. But it is not filth disease.
The well-to-do 'and clean catch it Just
as readily as those who live in swarm

ing population. 1t is loathsome-ex-
ceedingly so. / don't know anything
more repulsive than IA bad case of con-
fluent smallpox. But it thrives no more
in filth than in cleanliness, and vaccina-
tion is the ouly eifectnal barrier to its
spread" :"

The Cost of War

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
1t appears from the figures presented
by our Washington correspondent in
Mondays Ledger that the cost of tn
Spanislh-American war and the suppress
sion OF the rebellion in the Philippines
was approximately s4S9 100000. The
direct and indirect costs of wars are
hard to determine; but the above fig
ures fairly represent the direct none
tary outlay of the United States for
the operations of the army and navy in
the Spanish-American war. To this
must be added the $4,000 900 paid for
The Philippines. the pension claims
growing out Of the war the claims to
be adjudicated by the Spanish treaty
claims commission. and the continu-
Ing cost of the military occupation OF
the Philippines. AS an offset to all
this, we POSSESS Porto Rico, the Fhilip-
pines, and the right to occupy certain
points i'm Cuba for naval stations; but
the monetary value Of these posses
sions is indefinite The direct expendi-
ture made by the United States during
THE war period illustrates the cOstli-
ness Of war and shows the sacrifices
made for the liberation of Cuba.

Governor HUM visited Washington

Roosevelt in the interests of harmony
in Delaware. At least. that was the
.ostensible purpose, what THE real pur-
pose was may be inferred from the
fact, that following his Excellency,
Colonel d. p. Barnard came into the
Executive presence. If birds of a
feather rarely flock separately, it may
be surmised that the Governor was not
There to oppose Colonel Barnard for
collector of the port, and that, there

poses contemplates the appointment of
these who are the PERSONAL choice Of
Addicks. When the State patronage is
to be distributed, harmony means the
appointment of Union Republicans ex-
clusively; we infer that the same rule
The Governor would have apply to Fed
eral appointments. Governor HUM has
the right to be an Addicks adherent
but as such he is not qualified to stand
as the representative of harmony in
Delaware. There is little doubt THAT
THE President understands the exact
