ACTING HEALTH OFFICER
MAKES A RECOMMENDATIO
Persons Who Have Had Disease May
Attend School, Notwithstanding
Other Cases in House

Basing the recommendation on the
statement that present regulations do no
seem to prevent the spread of measles
and yet work a hardship TO some persons.
Harry G. Mclean. acting health officer.
has suggested TO the Commissioners that
the quarantine regulations for measles be
modified so that children who have mad
measles and who reside in houses where
a new case has developed VIII be allowed
To attend school regularly. Commissioners
mcfarland has approved the recommen-
dation.
Since January /. 1au9.' Acting Health
Officer Mclean in his letter of recon-
mendation says, .4,1o7 cases of measles
have been reported to the Health De
partment 1t is believed. however, that
this number does not represent the total
number of cases occurring in the DIS
trict since the date mentioned, as In many
cases physicians are not employed. ana
the parents themselves fail to make the
proper report of the cases.
The present regulations for the preTen-
ton of measles. etc, prohibits any per-

A Mile of Cents.

y new idea in connection with the
raising of charity funds by popular sub
scriptiOn has been put into operation in
the East. and sooner or later-as is
usual with ideas in that line-is likely
to be worked in other parts of the coun-
try.
One hundred persons, according to a
dispatch, are collecting one mile of PEN
MES for the benefit of the Methodist
church in Great Darlington, Massachu-
sets. Each solicitor has strips of
gummed paper one foot in length and
so arranged that twelve pennies may
be placed on each strip. If the mile of
cents is secured, it is stated. the scheme
will net the church S633.6O As re-
ward of ardent workers a straw ride will
be given those who get five feet or more
of pennies.
There are $3.50 feet in mile. but any
one who makes the experiment of placing
copper cents of current issue on a foot
rule will find that the combined diameter
of two of them is only an inch and II
half. On the Great Darlington paper
strips therefore, the pennies are evil
IDENTIFY not brought rim to rim, for if they
were it would take approximately 79O50
cents to span mile-and there would
be more money for the church
Won't there be a skurry TO make
small change in communities where this
plan Of campaigning is in vogue? Who
will be the original genius first to pro
pose mile of niCkes, or a mile of
dimes. or a mile of quarters, or a mile
of dollars?

The Cuban-American Entente.

Cuba is naturally anxious for close
commercial relations with the United
States-for the admission of her prod
uCtS to the profitable American market
with little restriction or no restriction
at all, In a recent dispatch to Senior
Gonzalo de Quesada, the Cuban minister
at Washington, President Gomez of
Cuba said, Il earnestly beg you to de
clare in my name that the future GOV
ernment of Cuba will devote all its at
tention 10 the development Of the most
cordial relations with the great and
generous American people" But there
are goings on in Cuba out of harmony
with this friendly expression Of President
Gomez.
Dispatches from Havana announce the
likelihood that strong effort will be made
by Cuhaus who distrust American in
huenCes to procure the enactment by
the Cuban Congress of n law prohibiting
the owning Of Cuban real estate BIZ
aliens. For Americans who already
possess land in Cuba it is fortunate that
under the Cuban Constitution such n
law could not be made retroactive. Ii
the proposed law is enacted. therefore.
1t will not be confiscatory II will
merely prevent future acquisition of
atty holdings in Cuba hy citizens Of
the United States. Evidently the Gu
bans who advocate such legislation are
apprchenslve Of the increase of Ameri
can interests and influence in their is
land. If they are possessed by this fear
they cannot be unreseryedly blamed 50
long ms they stop short of conGScation
they will be within their rights.
But it is evident that the Cuban
American entente is dpIicatelY balanced.
and that despite the magnanimity with
which this country helped Cuba in its
struggle for freedom and then Withdrew
its troops aud left the island to itself
and also despite the warm professions of
Cuban friendship for the United States
by President Gomez. there exists n sit
uation which must he handled with eX-
IRENE tact on both sides in order 20
avoid serious complications and possibly
rude clash

Early CATERPILLAR. Early Spring.

New York city might be supposed the
