An Undivided DUTY
State Board of Health Service

The United States government, the
state government, or the municipality
Which is responsible for warding off
epidemic infection?
The question has been suggested
and debated in Florida, particularly In
connection with the possible invasion
or the plague, which has been defin-
1tely located at New Orleans. at Ha-
vana and at two or three other Gu
ban points
On the same general principles is
oased the answer to the question in
all the states, but in Florida the reply
is somewhat modified by the large
powers granted to the State Board of
Health by legislative authority.
The federal government controls in
ternatlonal shipping where 1t touches
Its own coasts, and 1t is also in con-
trol or sanitary regulations to the ex-
tent that 1t may prevent the admission
OF disease or of diseased persons by
quarantine or by such other rules as
1t may see fit to enforce
Within each state it's own authority
is supreme regarding health matters,
put each state may call upon the federal
government for advice and assistance,
or 1t may voluntarily delegate to the
1ederal government full control in an
emergency, when circumstances seem
10 1ustlry. Such a situation is illus
trated by Louisiana, which has re-
signed its authority to the United
states. represented by Surgeon Cen
eral Rupert Blue. OF the U. S. Public
Health Service, to direct the campaign
against t!e plague in New Orleans.
In Florida, which in sanitary mat
ters acts through Its State Board of
Health, this board is in general charge
or matters affecting the healthfulness
OF the state For the protection of the
entlre state or Of any section of it, the
BOARD may supersede local authorities
municipal, county or others. taking
entire charge in an emergency. in
which its wider resources and powers
may seem necessary to meet existing
cond1tlons. Under ordinary conditions
t1e noard exercises its powers and au-
thority outside Of cities and incor
porated towns in which local boards
or health are in control Of sanitary
matters.

is the time when they may prof1tably
emphasize the need for special pre-
cautions with regard to the spread of
rabies.
The problem Of the control of rabies
is mainly the care of stray animals
and OF those that have no proper own
er. but live more or less on the bounty
OF the community. Careful registra-
ton Of animals and the destruction of
those for which no one would assume
responsibility to the extent of paying
yearly license would greatly limit
the disease. The problem is simpler
in England, but the success in prac-
ticaily ob1iterating the disease for the
last twenty years in that country
shows what can be accomplished. We
need intelligent, persistent scientific
interest to prevent the spread OF the
disease and not the annual attack of
hysteria that inhicts cruelty without
accomplishing any good purpose.

The Popular Delusion
About DOG Days.

The coming Of the dog days"
especially If the season happens to
bring with it one or more prolonged
heated periods. attracts the attention
of the public generally much moro to
the danger from rabies than do def
nt.e reports Of the spread Of the dis
ease at other seasons Of tho year,
which ought to arouse solicitude
Boards Of aldermen, city councils and
town officials of other kinds wake up
from the most absolute lethargy with
regard to the disease at this time. and
especially in the smaller towns and
country places, pass ordinances and
revive regulations requiring dogs to
be muzzled while on tho streets.
This is all the more amusing because
the term dog days" has no reference
to dogs, but is borrowed from the Ro-
mans, who called Sirius. tho brightest
Of the fixed stars. the dog-star. At
one time during the Roman epoch, the
rising of this star coincided with the
rising OF the sun in the latter part of
July. The twenty days preceding and
the twenty days following this con-
junction were for the Romans dies
CAMS, tho days Of the dog-or the
dog-star. Rome had it's 1ercest heats
usually during this period; therefore,
the time was dreaded and came to
have the reputation Of an unhealthy
season, though not with any special
reference to the dogs Of Rome.
In our day the popular meaning Of
the dog days" is that dogs are espec-
tally likely to go mad at this time.
The consequence Is that. while the
animals are made uncomfortable by
nose muzzEng. their discomfort is
greatly added to by the foolish dread
which keeps people from giving them
Rabies may occur at any season OF
the year; the actual statistics show
greater frequency of the disease dur
ing the winter than during the sum-
mer months. 1t Is most common in
the early spring, and March and April
would be q much better time to select
for "dog-days'' in the popular sense
than the weeks of July and August

OF danger.
The recent Seattle epidemic shows
how much of real danger there is
from this disease when 1t gains a
fcothold because Of neglect of proper
precautions. Surgeon Lloyd OF the
Public Health Service recently report
ed that up to the beginning of June
there had been 361 cases OF canine
rabies in the city Of Seattle since the
outbreak of the disease began in Sep
tember, 1913. Up to this the disease
had not been observed in Seattle.
This is what may occur practically
anywhere in this country If the infre-
quency of the disease begets over
and neglect. Although we
dlsapprove the inf1iction Of unneces-
sary suffering on animals, says The
Journal of the American Medical AS

organization. although perhaps defined
in different language by various
cities, Is to maintain such sanitary
conditions as may be required by mu-
nicipal legislation, and 1t is regulated
by the powers delegated to these
of such city health boards to exer-
else authority in the emergency of an
epidemic disease, which is confined to
the limits of that city, calling on the
State Board for assistance when such
aid may be needed.
The duties of the national. state
and city health authorities are largely
but not entirely, toward the preven-
ton of disease invasion and to create
and maintain such sanitary conditions
as will not invite disease.
Under the laws Of Florida, no mu-
nicipality may establish quarantine
against any other city or section, do
sent of the State Board. On the other
hand, the State Board may establish
quarantine without the permission or
request Of local authorities.
In view of these conditions. the mat
ter Of ridding Florida seaports and
interior cities OF their rat populations
Is plainly the duty Of the cities them
selves. by efficient rodent surveys: to
create such sanitary conditions as
will make the invasion of the plague
improbable. II not impossible. If in
spite of such efforts, the disease should
appear. 1t would become the duty of
the state health authorities to take
charge of the situation, to stamp out
the disease and the infection, calling
upon the federal government for such
advice and aid as might appear neces-
sary.
The preservation Of health-inv1ting
conditions is the province of every
municipality. and having been fore
warned Of the menace OF the plague,
1t is an imperative demand resting
upon the authorities Of every Florida
city, and especially upon its ten sea-
ports, tC make impossible the nearer
approach OF the plague, by using every
precaution that science has discovered
