INTERMEDIATE HOSTS.
Florida Health Notes.
ANAAANNNNNNNANN

A person suffering from diphtheria
is constantly giving off diphtheria
germs. If these germs, by any acct
dent, get transferred to the mouth of
a healthy child they are likely to set
up another case of diphtheria. Hence
IL is dangerous for well children to as
sociate with one that has diphtheria.
The same is true of measles, whooping
cough, scarlatina, mumps, chickenpox.
Il is also dangerous to associate with
smallpox cases unless one is vacci-
mated. In that event one would be
safe against smallpox, no matter who
he associates with.
These diseases are all transmitted
directly from person to person.
But there is another class Of diseases
in which the parasite has two hosts
one when it is a baby parasite, and
another when it is grown up. The
malarial parasite for example. It
spends its babyhood, if it may be
spoken of as such, in the human being,
but it's adult life is passed in the mos
quito.
When a parasite has to have two
hosts, one Is called the definitive and
the other the intermediate host.
The diseases in which the parasite
requires two hosts are not transmitted
from person to person. That is why
one could sleep in the bed with a case
OF yellow fever, or malaria with per-
feet safety-provided the mosquito
host is excluded.

can be passed indefinitely while the

ger Of passing the ordinance first and
before the people have been consulted,
is fully seen. It's a sure thing for
the corporation asking the franchise,
don't you see?
Z. Why should there be placed on
the people the burden Of presenting
a petition at all?
8. Why not refer franchises to the
people automatically, without any
qualification, except that they be quail
fled voters in the election. The prop
erty is theirs to give, and they should
be consulted without condition or hin
drance.
The maze Of conditions required Of
these franchises, as set out in this Sec
ton, are enough to disgust the people
with this whole proposal.
Reading this section, one Is i'm
pressed with the idea that the true
owners of these valuable franchises,
(Which are always sought and gen.
orally received, as sift,) are to be
placed at a disadvantage. After the
difficulty of getting up petitions, and
the expense incident to having the
clerk of the circuit court o. K. the
