Quarantine.

Quarantine for contagious diseases
should be respected by all. 1t is a
measure which experience has
shown is necessary for the preser-
walton of the health of community
which has been invaded by a disease
which is easily communicated from
one person to another The indivi-
dual would be helples in his efforts.
To keep free from such sickness. so
1t became early recognized that it
was function of the state to pro-
vide the protection. But quarantine
is not always taken seriously. When
a house is CLOSED" for child's dis
ease, for example, even among think
that is harmful. in that it sets
bad example to the unthnking.
Among the ignorant the quaran-
tine will not be automatically observ
ed in cases of serious diseases as II
would be among the class that is
we'll informed of its duty to the pub
lie, and it then becomes the duty of
the board of health TO WELD strict
hand, The city of Burlington re
Gently had trying experience. Two
smallpox patients. who had been
confined in the pest house, took il
in their heads to leave. They tore
down the quarantine sign. boarded
an electric car. and rode for some
distance. exposing many unsuspect-
ing persons to the loathsome di-
scase. Now those persons who
were on the car had right to be
hcve ,hat they were secure from
exposure by persons of whose con.
dition the health department had
knowledge. II these same patients
had not been detected as having the
disease it would have been another
thing, and no blame could be put on
the authorities. But il would seem
to be a duty of the health officers TO
see that there are no escapes of
this kind. Experience ought to die
tate what class of people can be
trusted to observe quarantine. and
that class in which no confidence
can be reposed ought to be guarded
as much as any prisoner. This is
? proper public demand.-St. Adams
Messenger.

U-nwaverng undaunted, soldiers in gray,
Never fearing doubling they marched their way
Tn defense of the Southland their lives naught,
Those heroes of Dixie how nobly they fought.
Ever before them a Cause that was just
Down, death, they to their trust.
D Gold, hungry and foot-sore, often half clad
On many battlefield with hearts heavy and sad
Never faltering, heroes mid shot and mid shell
For love of the Southland ever bravey they fell
Each day as their comrades down in the fray
z Death ever near, they kneeled down pray,
Each home with its loved ones, the Father above
Round them would circle His protection and love.
Amid the dead and the dying life's blood ebbing fast
Their thoughts with Mot>r Home in the past
Ever hoping for victory them at last.
Veterans of that fast vanishing line
Each day bringing the vast shores of time
Through the pages of history your deeds will be told
Each year growing brighter, glories unfold
Round your memory the evergreen wreath will entwne
And the Daughters will cherish your courage sublime,
Nov and forever, will thy country adore
SO calm be thy rest and peace evermore
