RorHeRsoME LIQUOR QUESTION

The saloon question has been coming
Up IN various forms all over the coun-
Try. Prohibition in one state. local OPP
ton in another, regulation in a third,
and so on. They have a new liquor
law in operation down in Louisiana,
the separation of the races being the
dominant idea when it was enacted.
Following is the principal provision of
the new law given by a cotton planter;
Under this statute the retail liquor
places are classed as either white or
negro saloons, and those of which col
ored men are proprietors are forbidden
30 sell drinks to white customers. The
idea of the makers of the law was to
keep a certain disreputable element of
both races from commingling in bar
rooms and Matching up schemes of an
Illegal nature while under the influence
of intoxicants. In Baton Rouge there
will be twelve saloons operated by
blacks. and the effects of con6ning
their business TO negro patrons ex-
elusively will be well worth studying"
The Louisiana law, however, will not
prevent the blacks and whites from
getting together and planning deviltry
when they get ginned up to the proper
point Neither will it prevent them
from drinking out of the same jug. So
what's the use? Reference is made to
this statute merely to show that the
question of liquor. its use and abuse,
is up for consideration all over the
land.

GOSPEL oE FRESH AIR.

The secretary of the state board of
health. DR.. T. b. Beatty, breaches the
gospel of fresh air in a supplement to
board. Instead of tightly closing the
dwellings the doctor insists that they
should be freely and fully ventilated,
and he holds, with good reason, that
the dread of fresh air is responsible for
the spread of communicable diseases
in many instances. The words of DR..
Beatty are worth remembering and
should be taken to heart by all who
have due regard for their own health
and the well-being of those conhded to
their care. He says:
During the season of cold weather
the gospel of fresh air night and day
should everywhere De preached and
practiced, contrary to the custom of
tightly closing dwellings and by every
possible means excluding it. Dread of
fresh air is more largely responsible
for the spread of communicable dis
eases than any other factor. In the
home and in the school this fact should
be recognized, and health officers
should in every way promote its recog-
milton. 1t is their special duty to as
certain the facilities for ventilation in
school buildings and TO enforce its Of
ficiency.
Proper ventilation in all dwellings,
schools and other buildings would pre-
vent so per cent of the deaths from
pneumonia and other communicable
diseases. Fresh air can harm no one,
and it is the most economical air that
can be breathed. whatever may be the
price of coal. 1t is also the best known
health insurance policy
