PUBLIC ASSISTS IN
PREVENTING DISEASE
Increased Interest Is of Ma

of Health.

The supplement to the December
Health reads aa follows:
One of the evidences of an increas-

tious Of persons guilty of violating the
quarantine laws and the severity of
tho penalties imposed. In one instance
occurring at LehI q man who failed TO
report case Of contagious disease and
refused to obey quarantine rules was
fined $50.
In the town Of Mammoth, the pro
moters Of q public dance were convict
ed and fined for refusing to comply
with the order of the board Of health
TO suspend the dance because of the
prevalence Of smallpox.
Such examples Of determination on
the part of local authorities TO enforce
sanitary laws will deter others from
violating them and result in great
good TO the public health.
The same policy should be adopted in
all localities, and an aroused public
sentiment should uphold the health
authorities in making it effective.
There can be no possible cxtenuation
for the conduct Of any person who

FEATURING NEW DANCE
THE DOLLAR DIP"
Until last Thursday night, Jno.
.Vana, 948 w. 18th street, was an
admirer of the bunny hug" the
turkey trot," and all other forms
of dancing. But on the night in
question he was introduced to the
dollar Dip" and his opinions
have changed. No more dancing
for Vana. It's too expensive.
Vana explained how this
change of front came about in the
municipal court this morning,
Judge Hines being the recipient
of the earful of sorrow and woe
that was unburdened.
Thursday night Vana, who is
a workman in the Santa Fe shops,
started out to trip the light fan
tastic, feeling very happy, as he
had his months pay, $3.50,
slowed away in a rear pocket of
his jeans. He visited several sa-
looms, and helped pay the liquor
license of each. In one of them
he met Gus Pormbcamsky, also
dancer, but a railroad laborer
when not dancing. The saloon
visits were continued, and both
rested their feet on numerous
footballs.
"Then we went to place and
had some more drinks" explained
John, and"
"You needn't enumerate every
drink" objected the judge. Il
can't listen to you all morning"

Huh, you didn't said Vana.
"Were you ever in the Medinah?"
The judge fastened to deny
that he ever was.
well, they dance there, and
they don't have ladies, either
After this facer Vana went on:
1--WE danced all around, and
Gus was hitting my pockets.
What are you doing that for?'
asked.
Oh says he, this is the turkey
trot, and I'm tapping my wings
after we danced about six
times l wanted to pay for drink,
and l reached for my money. 1t
wasn't there. Gus said he didn't
have it, and nobody else in the
saloon mad 1t. Looked like 1t Just
naturally disappeared, like
Hearst's presidential boom. But
all that turkey trot business made
me suspicious, so I got a warrant
for Gus"
Gus, being questioned, said he
didn't know anything about the
money. He thought he was out
dancing with a gentleman, but
was panied to find he was mis-
taken. In his opinion Vana was
piker, and never had $50.
After hearing other testimony,
all to the effect that Vana was
we'll fabricated, the judge, while
not as frank as Gus, dismissed the

No MORE MAIL IF
YOUR DOC IS BAD
Carriers Told to Pass Up the
Houses Where Vicious
Brutes Run Loose.

Mail carriers in Atlanta have called
on government officials for protection
from Vicious dogs. The authorities are
going to see that everything possible is
done to save trousers and prevent pain
full injuries from canine teeth and AS
sistant Postmaster Coles announced
today that no more mail will be deliv
cred at homes where dangerous dogs
are allowed their freedom.
The decision came following injuries
received today by Carrier Stroud on
East Linden street. He was severely
bitten by bulldog and fears rabies.
Little more than two weeks ago Al
Yer A. Thomas, carrier in West End,
was bitten by dog, and after the an
imal had been killed and the head ex-
amined by state officials in the Pas
teur department it was found the dog
had ra bies. Physicians announced that
Mr., Thomas is in danger of having an
attack of it and are giving him treat
ment. number of other carriers have
been bitten recently
If people do not care enough for the
public safety to do away with vicious
dogs or even chain them In a secluded
part of their yards, the government is
not very anxious to deliver their mail"
said MI Coles today.
THE postal regulations provide that
carriers do not have to deliver it at
houses where such dogs are kept. and
they positively will not do so in Allan
ia hereafter. 1t is. either get rid of the
dogs or do without the carriers serv-
ices"
