The following, taken from the public
health reports issued by the government,
is published by request of the board of
health of Norfolk:
DIR. Bizzozoziro, in a recent lecture
delivered at Rome, recalled strikingly
to his audience the success of vaccination
in Germany. He said: Germany
stands alone in fulfilling i'll 4 great
measure the demands Of hygiene. hav-
ing in con sequence of the calamitous
smallpox epidemic Of 1901 enacted
the law of 1874, which makes vaccina-
ton obligatory in the first year of life,
and re%vaccination obligatory at the
tenth year. What was the result?
With n population of 100000 having
in 1871 lost $4,000 lives by smallpox,
she found by her law of 1874 the NOR.

The plans for celebrating the Fourth
of July III Norfolk have apparently been
dropped by common consent and it now
appears as though no celebration will be
held. Under existing circumstance it
is perhaps just3as well, as there would
undoubtedly be many difficulties en-.
countered. The sentiment for a celebra-
ton having been so unanimous and
there being apparently so much disap-
pointment The NEWS would suggest
that a harvest home festival be held
some time during September. Such a
festival would admit of a more varied
and pleasurable program than a celebra.
ton. Speaking, music, racing, fire.
works, floral and other parades may be
made features that would attract a
large attendance and the festival might
be continued through two or three days.
Decorations and camping,features would
not be appropriated, in fact a variety
of entertainment could be afforded that
would be limited only by the capacity
of the committees in charge to suggest
and the amount of funds at their dis.
posal. 1t is Norfolk's turn to pro-
vide some sort of entertainment
during the summer and this suggestion,
with good management, could be made
very profitable and entertaining. Sug-
gestions from business men or others in
terested are invited regarding the sub.
iect and short communications and to
the point will gladly be given space by

The decision of the supreme court on
the insular cases is worthy of study. Its
import cannot be determined by a mere

fully understand the full meaning of
the decision in order that they may act
knowingly if the time ever when
their vote may be required to determine
the status of acquired aterritory.

The mayor and city council are to be
commended for the action taken at the
special meeting last evening, when
more stringent measures were adopted
to stamp out the smallpox. The EN-.
ployment Of extra patrolmen to see that
quarantine regulations are strictly en-.
forced, will go a long ways to speedily
rid this city of the trouble, especially
when followed by thorough disinfection
of every house where there has been dis,
ease. The recommendation that every
person be vaccinated is also timely, and
should be generally followed. 1t is true
that the city authorities have been a
little slow in taking hold of this matter,
but with the proper spirit of assistance
on the part of citizens, there should be
no trouble in quickly stamping out the
disease from this community.
