Conducted by DR.. J. c. Mahr,
State Commissioner OF Healthy
Progress and Disease.

About a year ago smallpox made
its annual appearance in Oklahoma,
and the state commissioner of health
for Oklahoma received several letters
from over the United States which
served the purpose OF reminding us
how much easier the great progress
that we have made during the past 80
years renders the spread of contag
ious diseases. The first letter came
from the commissioner OF health for
the state of Pennsylvania advising
the state commissioner for Oklahoma
that Mr.. So-and-so had a few days
before arrived at his home in Blank
town, Pennsylvania. and within day
or two he developed smallpox, and
that he was exposed during a bust
ness visit in the oil regions at Tulsa,
Oklahoma.
A few days after this letter was
received by the state con/lissioner
of health from the secretary of the
state board of health of California
advising him that quite recently Mr..
So-and-so of Oklahoma had come to
Pasadena, California, for the pur-
pose of spending the winter, and that
two days after his arrival he came
down with smallpox He also stated
that this man had been exposed to
smallpox just before he left his home
in Woodward county, Oklahoma.
Now sixty years ago it would have
been impossible for two men to have
contracted a contagious disease in
the center of the United States and
developed it few days later on the
Pacific coast and the other near the
Atlantic! but by reason of the rail
roads and steamboat lines, and travel
and commerce have brought man to-
gether so, that humanity has largely
become one, and a man exposed to
smallpox in Oklahoma frequently is
two or three thousand miles away
when the disease develops. We are
no longer living isolated lives; but
gathered together in communities our
interests are mutual. The interests of
one are the interests of all, such as
the prevention of fires and the pre-
vention of crime. Even in the pro-
| lection of wealth we have seen the
necessity of working together, so the
| very progress We are making has
grown up a new set of reais2ations.
Whether we admit il or not we are
"our brothers keeper" If we allow
persons with infectious diseases to
run abroad, one of our friends may
sicken and die. "No man liveth to
himself" People live in society and
any one may be called upon to pay
the penalty of social or individual
/ insanitation.
Let the Facts Be Known.
1t is true we meet with men every
| where whose intellect and mode Of
thinking with their backward minds
prove obstacles to sanitation and all
other things conducive to human
progress. These men imagine it is
perfectly good to prey off the other
fe lows and consequently they try to
take care of themselves without re-
gard fo~ others. They frequently
